THINGS DOING
AT CITY COURT
Officer Friel Makes Two Inn
portant Arrests.

The City Court presented quite a
lively appearance Monday morning and
several important cases were on the
docket.
Pillow Caruthers. colored. an EN-.
ploye of the Bethel House bar, and
Nick CarutheIs. a brother. who is
employed at Harlan 8 stable, were in
pretty bad. Nick was arrested by
Officer Tom Friel on a charge of steal
ing $3.50 from Joe Ketchum s cook
and cutting up the woman's shoes. In
searching the negro, III. FIiel found
key on him. which he stated belonged
to his brother, Pillow. Tbs aroused
the officers suspicion and he opened q
box at the stable in which the prisoner
kept his clothing and found about tif-
teen dollars worth of whiskey and fine
cigars. Pillow Caruthers was then
arrested by Officer Friel on a charge
of larceny and the two were lodged in
Jail. Pillow acknowledged the theft
this morning but stated that it was
his first offense and that his brother
had nothing to do with 1t, and the
things were put in his box over his
protest. The authorities at the bar
room claim that goods have been
missed a number of times within the
past few months.
/. Another important case was one
against Otey DockeIy,. who runs a
restaurant on the Square and Is charged
with selling beer without license.
