DRUNK MAN WITH S10,7o5.
Cash Was i'm His Clothes When Ar
rested at Yakima.

Police Officers Buckley and STAR
rett arrested a man named Charley
Potter last Saturday night for being
drunk and disorderly and manifest
ing a tendency to attract notoriety
with a pistol, narrates the Yakima
Republic.
When Potter was taken to the po-
lice station and searched, as are all
prisoners before being locked up, the
officers found upon his person in gold
and bank notes s1O,765.1O. He later
gave bail and was turned out of Jail,
but not until he showed signs of So
bering up, and had promised to be
good
a telephone message was received
at the police station about o'clock
Saturday night calling for an officer
to come down on South Front street
to arrest a man who was waving a
pistol in the air and had threatened
to shoot his little boy. Officers
Buckley and Starrett hurried to the
scene of the trouble ana found Pot
ter In an intoxicated condition with a
gun in his hand, and in the presence
of his little children, who it is said,
We're in a state of great fear. The Of
| ficers allege that Potter had threat
ened to shoot his little boy, and also
a man named Smith, whom Potter
had accused of robbing him of 5000.
Smith afterwards told an officer that
if Potter ever made another move to
pull gun on him there would be
something doing.
Potter made no attempt to resist
the officers, and in fact became quite
submissive by the time they reached
the city jail
The money was taken by Chief of
Police Cayou and officer villaume
and placed in a safe. When Potter
was turned out of Jail he asked for
his money but it was not given him.
1t will be turned over to him today.
