Police Court.

Police court has been quitea lively
place this week. Last Saturday night
twelve or fifteen gentlemen of the
town crowded into the rear end of
the Red Front dive and proceeded to
enjoy high life. According to the
evidence of police court, whiskey and
hop tea were dispensed freely and,
svon the crowd huddled in the small
room, poorly lighted and filled with
smoke, engaged in little friendly
scuffle. There were gentlemen of all
colors engaged in the melee. In fact,
itseemed to be friendly contest be-
tween races. Soon the stove was up
set and pandemonium. reigned SUI
preme. When the door was opened
and the atmosphere cleared little,
at least three of the gentlemen en-
gagged were found to have received Sc
we're knife cuts and others were more
or less bruised. These gentlemen all
met in the police court on the most
friendly terms and no one seemed to
have the least bit of malice towards
anyone else. In fact, no one seemed
to have been mad or intended in any
way to hurt anyone. No one saw any
gentlemen strike another and no one
heard any angry words or seemed to
know what started the sport, yet
number of the gentlemen present ad-
mitted severe bruises and knife cuts.
No one saw a knife in the hands Of
anyone. 1t also seems by the evidence
that quite a number present were
simply engaged in trying to keep or
der. AS all the gentlemen present
were good reliable citizens whose repu-
tation for truth and veracity is un-
Improbable, we are inclined to the
opinion that the knives were welded
by spirits and the blows were struck
by the same power. This being the
case these gentlemen should not be
Inundated by being dragged before
police court where ordinary thugs and
buns are tried, but should simply be
admonished that this room is per-
vailed by dangerous spirits and is not
a safe place for gentlemen to cUngre-
gate,
