POLICE GATHER THEM IN.
Saturdays DrunkS Are Disposed
of Today-City's Treasury
Is Increased.

There was plenty doing in police
circles Saturday. Several persons
took advantage of the day to celebrate
to an extent not in strict keeping with
the mandates of polite society and
were gathered in by the minions Of
the law.
Probably the most obstreperous of
the aggregate was James Contee. He
is employed by Isaac Silver at Oden-
ton and came to town for the purpose
of making a purchase of liquor. A
large amount must have filtered in
wardly, for the police were called to
the station to arrest him. Officers
Owens and Holiday responded and
found him acting in very boisterous
manner. They placed him under ar
rest on the charge of being drunk and
disorderly and started to take him to
Jail.
Contee resisted arrest and in the
melee Officer Holiday was bitten by
the prisoner on the middle finger of
his hand. They finally subdued him
and carried him to the lookup i'll a
dray. On the first charge he was
fined 81 and costs and, as he had re-
sisted arrest, was fined an additional
30 and costs. In default of the fine,
amounting to So. so, he was placed in
Jail.
Thomas Mason was another who fell
by the wayside. He came in from
Davidsouville, acquired that which
not tolerated and became abusive on
West street. Patrolman Owens took
him in charge on the charge of being
drunk and disorderly and placed his
rig in a stable. Mason pleaded guilty
to the charge and was assessed 50. 75.
Charles James and James Roberts
engaged in a debate on Market space
and, argument failing, resorted to
fists. They were engaged in this de-
lightful occupation when Patrolman
Jones and Owens appeared on the
scene and gathered them in. They
were fined 81 and costs each by Squire
Feldmeyer.
John Harrod, charged with drunk
and disorderly conduct, was fined 81. 70.
