made. Just the nature of these threats

case and the arrests followed. It seems
that a trap was set by the detectives TO

DAY IN POLICE COURT,
"Annexatiouisi' Gets Into Trouble for Bur
glarY and for ThieYing

One Of Justice Crutchfield's customers in
the Police Court yesterday was Tom
Johnson, alias John Wells, alias John
Wesley, alias John Williams. Johnson is
an ''annexationist' by profession. On
last Saturday he got six months for the
theft of an overcoat a Bible and a pistol.
Yesterday he got twelve months addition
al for burglary in the home of Mr. John
Urban, where he stole two suits of clothes
and a photograph album. In addition TO
these things, the entire matter was sent
lo. the Hastings Court, and il. would seem
that justice has not nearly finished with
Johnson, s; yet - 1T
Lewis Johnson and John Jones, shoe
makers, were also before Justice Crutch-
field They had been arrested at a. pistol
point in the back yard of a house at No.
sos West Clay Street. 1t is presumed they
were bent on burglary. When brought
before Justice Crutchtield they said they
went to see some one there, but the Court
held that haIf-past 4 o'clock in the morn
ing was not a proper time for calling,
and gave them six months each IN de-
fault of bonds.
A. 3. Woolsey, a white man, was up for
carrying a pistol. Owing to the fact that
he had recently been very i'll, the usual
Jail sentence of thirty days was held up.
and he was fined $50. Martha Ann Tay-
Tor, who had been under bond for some
time past for good behavior, was SEN
fenced to six months for breaking this
bond.
Albert Mathews got ninety days as a
suspicious character, and Robert Brown,
James Jackson and John O'Brien, all up
as Migrants, were dismissed.
