circus day Tor the ponce department
was unusually quiet. The free list
which is usually suspended on that day
for the DRINKS, had no heavy calls. The
noble redman had but two representa-
| tives listed. Paul Jessup and John
Walker are the redmen credited with
having been found on the Schlitz reser-
walton. Walker got away with $40 and
Jessup was touched for IS.
Bessie Lane attended the circus
grounds and made an attempt at elop-
ing with a couple of ten dollar bills of
which K. Hale, a casual acquaintance
says that he is the rightful possessor.
Hale states that he gave the money to
Bessie to change but that her forget
terry was in bad working order and the
change failed to make its appearance.
Bessie is booked with petit larceny.
Lulu Brown and her husband jerked
down the white winged dove of peace
and tore feathers from the bird. Both
parties are cOlOred. Dave got mad be-
cause Lulu took his clothes and packed
them in trunk preparatory to leaving
his roof. The Browns are under thou
sand dollar bond for being implicated in
an assault with intent to kill, holding
up two cattlemen on the Melan bridge
about two months ago. Disturbing the
peace is the heading in this last trou-
BILE.
Lewis Gray, colored, who lives at 1911
Monroe street, thought that the ordina-
ry process of earning a livelihood was
too slow, he had something better, or
rather thought he had. He started in
joint business in a kindergarten way but
failed to count on the patronage of the
police department and that's where he
failed. Stahl called last evening as the
twilight lowered about a small choire
crowd gathered around a small key and
the tentacles of the law wrapped them
selves about that key and did whisk it
away from the midst of the merry max
ers. Gray gave bond.
Minnie johnson and Julia Parker
came under the ban for street walking.
The premier was picked up Saturday
evening while the Parker woman was
arrested at ten last night. Trials Ia
ter.
Judge Hamilton did several stunts in
palmistry this morning. Three vags who
were picked up Saturday had their
grimy fingers extended before the police
judge who endeaVored to discover the
evidences of toll, the calloused spots.
Lucky was the man who could pass off
his warts for callouS. Ed Amro, who
said that he was boilermaker but who
has done about everything else except
that, was present together with Frank
clear and both were turned loose re-
joicing.
Geo. Youngman who is employed at
and Madison was cut in the right arm
Saturday at p. m. by Cy Sims, an
other colored man living in Parkdale.
The two had some differences though
Youngman claims there was no fight
at the time. The fracas occurred near
the corner of First and Jefferson
STREETS. Youngman was brought up
town and four stitches taken in dress
ing the wound. No arrests have been
made.
Ida Porter who is the colored sweet
heart of Geo. Youngman was fined SIS
and costs in police court this morning
for assaulting Cora Melenson, a French
woman on last Wednesday evening.
The Porter woman thought that the
French woman was giving information
to the police regarding joint for
which Youngman was pulled the self
same day, as a consequence she went
over across the street and the two wo-
men became involved in fistic fest of
strenuous proportions. The Porter wo-
man was pulled off by Youngman. The
defendant thinks that she had good
cause to despoil the fleur de lis and has
appealed the case.
H. G. Austin who was found associ-
ating with a couple of bottles of beer
in the Owl restaurant several months
