He was tried for firing a pistol in the
city limits and for being drunk ana
disOrderly. In the first case he was
fined $40 and costs and in the second
he was med $50 and costs. The COSTS
in each case amounted 10 S4.15. when
with the fines aggregated S39.0O. .
The witnesses summoned could not
testify positively that Norris was
shooting at any particular person, 80
consequently he escaped Il charge OIL as
-Sault with a deadly weapon. ana, as
they could not precisely tell from where
he obtained the pistol, ne also escaped

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

The Increase in cash Of So, 3O9, 400 is bel
