Old Charge.
All the Force Called Out to

Although crime seems to be on the

betwixt, there is always something to
keep the force from ''ong-wee."
With no c~old-blood murder myster-
les to solve, the coplets must content
themselves with such i~ncidentals as a
dance by aged females. the loss of
a pet horse which has escaped from a
barn, the forcible detention of a night

Helwig nailed the noble youth, and
was hauling him -stationward, when

Little Eli had a happy thought. He
dropped one of the ten-pound coup

skidooed. Before the officer had got
through saying "ouch," the larcenator
had departed from that spot. Police
officers captured him later, and he Is
now in durance vile. Douglas stole
brass which would sell to some of the

dollar, and did about $50 worth of
damage to the engine, aside from what
he did to Helwfg and his corn. Luckily
he is 10 years of age. and can be

The reserves. patrol G and other
~perquisites were called out last even

tenth and Jackson streets that the Off
GERS discovered the foundation for the
chase. They gathered, from what they
could learn, that a Mrs. H. B. Durand,
of that locality, had mixed rather pro-
miscuously with a Mrs. A. Burge, but
that the trouble was over before the ar
rival of the police
The row was over the possession of
rooms rented from Mrs. Burge by Mrs.
Durand. Mrs. Burge is a matron of
about 20 summers, and Mrs. Durand
in with a credit of 80 hard win
tiers. The ladies had a misunderstand-

Mrs. Durand, the elderly Mrs. Burge at

She old her troubles to the police. but
as they did not arrive in time to see
the fight, they could make no arrests.
They advised Mrs. Durand to make
complaint. which she did, and the war
like old lady was arrested later.
It is rumored this morning that moth

two ladies have called q peace confer

he called at the Lou Arnold ~"parlOrs"

real naughty to one Mag MCGEE, an
inmate. From the story told to a police
officer by Lou Arnold, the reputed
keeper, Mr.. Perkins had known the Nc
Gee girl In Fort Scott, and wanted her
to return to that virtuous village on the
ragged edge of Missouri. Because the
girl did not bubble over with joy when
he made the proposition, he reached
down in his garments, produced a razor
and talked seriously of cutting or her
head and hiding it. Madame
