Took A Second Thought.

W. E. Hedgkin. the merry 60
round man. after attempting all day
Yesterday to secure remittance of
the fine imposed on him by Justice
Byers, decided that he would go to
Jail. Deputy Sheriff Hardy took
him to the Jail and had hardly gotten
him within the doors of the bastile,
when he relented and wanted to be
taken down town to secure the money
to pay his fine.
At first Mr.. Hardy, who had dilly-
dallied with the man all the day,
giving him more latitude under the
circumstances, was inclined to, let
him have a taste of the confinement
in the county Jail, but at last brought
him down town and he paid the fine
and costs.
Hedgkin, was quite angry and when
asked by Deputy Hardy why he had
not concluded to pay his fine before
he was taken to jail, responded that
he had an object in view. He said
he wanted to be momentarily placed
in Jail so that he could bring suit
against the city for false imprison-
ment, against the Peach Day execu-
tive committee and against several in
dividuals whom he seemed to have it
in for particularly.
He, however, seemed very glad that
there was a means of avoiding a night
in the bastile, by paying his fine.
