NO REsPStTER or PERSONS
Is the Pound MAN. Judge Dickerson
Appears to Register Kick

There's something about the of.
fee Of pound man that makesa man
swell up just as soon as he gets it.
Take any ordinary we'll behaved,
modest man and make him pound
man, and he becomes an autocrat
at once. "Id just like to swap
my job for that Of poundmar for
few months just to show the peo.
pie that new man can fill this Of
fee and at the same time hold him-
self on level with average people
and treat them right"
Such were some Of the sentiments
mildly expressed by Judge Dicker-
son when he appeared at police head
quarters to register akick against
outrageous conduct Of the pound
man. The Judge ayers that this
officer hangs around his place the
greater part Of his time and no
sooner does his horse get one foot
outside the yard, than the pound
man lands him. He says his horse
got away the other day and his
stable boy was cha ing him as hard
as he could but the pound man
beat him 10 the fleeing animal an d
it was "a dollar, please" ("
But the strongest count in the
Judge indictment is that the pound
man & -es to Mrs. .Dickerson and de-
mands the dollar in an imperious
fashion and doesn't talk nicely a.
bout it and he comes again and a
gain till the Judge comes home
and finally liquiaates. Now ths
Judge says he wants to be treated
just like any other citizen but he
does object to the conduct upor
the part Of the officer he would b
willing to make contract will
him for SIS month just to put III
his horse when it gets out or woult
give bond or payment Of th'
charges but he doesn't want his
family bothered about it
Judge Grigsby heard thescomplain
and at once orderd chief Hopkin
to hold Judge Dickerson while he
made out complaint against hin
| for ''obstructing the course 0
| justice in this court" On secont
thought, how ever, he dimissed th'
Judge. with the consolation, ''th
poundman got one Of my hogs last
night"

TALK ABOUT ADJOURNMENT


Washington, May o.-The mid
die of June Is the time now set for
the adjournment Of the present
session of congress by the more
conservative members. There are
almost as many guesses as to the
fine for adjournment as there are
members, but none is entitled to
to more consideration than the sug-
gestion of Senator Allison, dean Of
the senate and chairman of the APP
preparations committee, which will
have to do much of the work on
which adjournment is denied. He
said today he thought the session
would close in six weeks, which
means he will make an effort to
bring this about. Senator Allison
also said lie believes he can get
through with the appropriation
bills within month from the time
the railroad rate bill is disposed Of.
This statement is the most impor-
tant has been made relative to ad-
journment, as it is realized that
only one of the thirteen great sup.
ply bills fol the government has
passed the appropriation.
