There was a call for the police last even
ing TO the house located at II Elm street,
occupied by Albert Bailey. 1t appears
that the occupants OF the place who are
colored had INDUCED In a quantity OF
liquors and this had made them trouble
some. The police were sent for and when
they arrived a regular rough house was
going. The furniture was sscattered about
the premises and most of II was badly
damaged. Albert Bailey, James Edison
and Lizzie Bailey were arrested and taken
TO the station. but this morning they were
permitted TO so without being brought be-
fcre the court --
Rowland Dodge was before the court
this morning charged with being a va
grant. The man was brought In on the
same charge some weeks ago, and at that
time he made the promise that he would
take care OF himself. When arraigned the
first time the judge spied on one OF his
fingers n ring In which was what APP
peared TO be n diamond or rather large
dimensions and the court thought that
the possession OF this was sufficient to
prove that he was not vagrant. Today
however, the possession of diamonds and
the promises TO do better had no effect
and Dodge will rest AT the state farm for
the next six months.
