Charley Johnson, the negro porter
at the Hawk saloon is "goosyi"
Webster does not give a definition
of the word. but it means when a
man who is "goosy' is suddenly
tickled he is liable to do most any
thing. He will strike objects ear
est to him, jump through windows
and do most everything that is un-
reasonable. The fact that Charley
Johnson is "goosy' caused him to
| appear in Justice Peacock's court
yesterday afternoon, but his "goosi-
ness" saved him from punishment for
''cussing'' a colored damsel. 1t was
the first "goosy' defense hat has

ed of the following gentlemen: Fred
Roth, F. M. Jump, James ForsIad,
L. R. Miller. Jim Reeves and Jack
Porter.
There was a full array Of legal
talent on both sides. Baker & Smith

violence, and the "cussing' was the

fully considered the case and decid-
ed that the 'cussing" was justifiable
as Mister" Johnson had been "goos
ed" only a few minutes before and
his state of mind would cause him
to do most anything. The jury was
! of the opinion hat a Jail sentence
would be beneficial to both Miss
Annie and Mister" Johnson. but
the fact that Mister" Johnson was
"goosed' saved them from durance
