will be stationed daily, excepting sun
days, and who win furnish for nominal
sums articles of clothing and other me-
cessities of life. such as warm bed
clothing furniture, etc.
Reports Of sickness in distressed fam

While prisoner 'Whiskers" was not
arraigned in City Court this morning. but
his owner was. Angelic Cicabeli is the

is violating the city ordinance by al

resided un1ii Dog Catcher Kopp put in his
appearance. The latter an enthusiastic

ing the goat in a safe compartment in the
S. P. G. A. wagon. At first 'whiskers''
made strong protest against his en-
forced confinement and vented his anger
by butting the sides of the wagon, but
eventuaiy became calm and resigned to
his fate.
Angelic cicabell knows his business.
He understands how necessary his goat
is to the police and with eyes open TO

hearing. Upon the success or defeat Of
the local team depends his fate. If the
club wins he runs a good chance Of get

will probably be sentenced to life time i'm
prisonment. One mark against him has
already been ehalked up. on account Of
the rain the game scheduled for today
will not be playe1 Some Of the police are
mean enough 10 say the goat is respon-
sibie for the weather and have dubbed
him Jonah instead of mascot.
