NEWS OF OTHER COURTS
POLICE COURT.

Conductor Fay, of the Illinois Gen.
trsl freight depa-tmet. who swore out
a warrant against Charles Buck some
time ago charging him with the theft
of $50 or more, was brought in last
night by Officer O'Neil on attachment
to testify in the case against Buck.

brought back, but Fay failed to appear
against him and the warrant was filed
away.
Today it was reinstated. Fay said
he would like 70 have the case settled
withcnt further trouble as he had lost
$50 in money and about SIS in time,
and that il he had to come back to
testify he was lSely to lose his job,
as the railroad officials did not want
to fool with men who inconvenienced
them.
The day Of the trial two weeks ago
Conductor Fay said he was sent to
Water Valley, Miss, and couldn't pos.
sibly get here. Judge Sanders in
formed him that he didn't believe the
illinois Central would fire any man
for appearing in case in which the
criminal law had been violated, for
he noticed that the railroad always
allowed its men plenty of time when
its own interests were at stake, or
when it was to prosecute any one for
stealing from the railroad. The con-
ductor was not fined on the attach
ment,, but was told that Buck would
be rearrested and arraigned Saturday,
and to be back on that day,
The charge of grand larceny against
Lee Atkins, colored, for stealing from
b, Weille's, was continued until to-
morrow.

Mr.. George Goodman cash a check
for $50 signed with Tyner and Ear
harris firm name. Nashville, ana the
paper proved to be a forgery. The
young, mans father declined to maze
