LAUNDRY UNCALLED FOR
Marshal Kinney, successor to Gee Hop
in the laundry business. or rather the
receiver of that concern. self appointed
on the spur of the moment and for
the public good, says he still has a
couple of packages of laundry uncau-
ed for at the city hall. There are
several dollars worth of clothes in
each package and it is surprising the
owner does not call for them. especial
" as Mr. Kinney has no bill to ac-
company them. He would not be so
anxious in the premises if the clothes
were more adapted to his purposes
but he fears he can only use them on
the occasion of a masquerade ball. and
not then unless some friend will lend
him corset and piece of green rib
bon to complete the costume.
A PUBLIC SECURITY.-Not long
ago mule case was brought to this
precinct from the Buckeye country. A
Mexican had been arrested charged
with the theft of a mule belonging to
a resident of that neighborhood. On
account of the illness of the justice OF
the Buckeye precinct the case was
transferred. 1t was brought out when
the case came to trial that the mule
was the property of the man who stole
it. He had it in pasture belonging to
the complaining witness and had taken
it away TithOut paying the pasture
bill. Upon this showing Assistant
District Attorney Billiard moved that
the case be dismissed. The other day
the complaining witness was in town
and complained to the assistant dis
trict attorney at the want of prosecu-
ton. 1t was explained that there was
no hope of conviction. Larceny" said
Mr. Billiard, lis the theft of the prop
erty of another. That mule belonged
to the Mexican though you might have
had a lien upon it," You're wrong"
said the man from Buckeye; our JUS
tice, down there has found a statute
making it grand larceny" I've never
seen that statute" said Mr.. Billiard:
can you tell me where it is?" Il don't
just know where it is but the justice
read it to me-" said the complaining
witness, and it's plain enough to con-
vince any man that isn't blind. 1t
says that any man that steals public
securities is guilty of grand larceny.
That mule was in hook to me and he
was public security if there ever was
one" Mr.. Billiard replied that the
next time the county refunded any
part of it's floating Indebtedness he
would recommend that it be converted
into mules.
