sumed by the police, on account OF
what they could hear that the main
spring of the little enterprise had made
getaway. He was supposed to be
some party from Holton who had lots
OF money. and had therefore invested in
three females, two smoke musicians
and a hack. He saw clouds in the dis
lance and made his escape. leaving his
guests to their fate. The three women
pleaded guilty this morning to disorder
" conduct, and were fined $25 each.
The musicians wished to rise and ex-
plain, so the court continued their case
until this afternoon. The peple who
have resumed a residence on the North
side have one thing in their favor. 1t
will be some time before they are
bothered with the midnight hack
nuisance.

pital and it still alive. although it
is not believed he will ever recover.
Mr. Jordon flew the coop. The police

town for Jordon. but he was not in II.
Then Sheriff Lucas who has done
several bright things since he got the
Office. took the trail with the result that
he left last night for Albuquerque. n
NJ where Mr. JoFdon is being held at
his request. Sheriff Lucas has been a
