Thanked. the Mayer.

John Maull, a negro, appeared in police court this morning to answer to a warrant charging him with using profane language in the presence or females. John Is we'll known char actek in police circles and his appear nnce in court this morning was not the first time On several occasions he has gotten out of trouble by promising to leave the city. The last time he left and stayed away d month. This morn ing he wanted to get out of his trouble by going again and told the Mayor that although all of the towns were guar antined he would leave hera and go tn the country. as he could not go to any city.
 He tried to convince the Mayor that 1t would be best for him to leave, tn- stead of having a fine imposed against him. Mayor Atkins thought otherwise and a fine of $10 or twenty days on the streets was assessed against him. After the fine had been assessed and as he arose from the witness chair he loudly thanked the Mayor for the fine imposed. Doubtless he was thankful that the favorite prescription of the Mayor, $45 or ninety days, was not as- sessed against him. and then again he may have been thankful that he was allowed to remain in the city. even though he will have to serve twenty days with the chaingang.
 The cases against R. E. Shores charged with carrying a concealed weapon, and Leo Anderson, charged with disorderly conduct. were contin- ued until the session of the court to- morrow.
