The patrolman sent for the wagon and had the i'll man taken to po- lice headquarters, where he was attended by the City Physician. after which he left the station to seek his home. It is thought he was drugged. robbed and left where found by the patrolman.

As a result, this morning there were fifty-nine cases on the recorders docket. All the vehicles had the licenses, but the tin tags were in the wrong place. At court time, a. rn., the street in the vicinity of police head quarters was a veritable jam. The re- corder had time with the cases, though the city received no income from the many arrests.
