PUT ms COAT
ON UNDER SHIRT

Henry Doyle, the young fellow
who gave the information against
Mrs. Anna Fox last week and eaus+
ed her to be sentenced to thirty
days in Jail and to pay a fine of
twenty dollars besides, played a
smooth trick on the police force on
Tuesday morning.
On his own confession Doyle was
convicted of assembling for prosti-
tuition and when he failed to pay a
fine of ten dollars, was sent up for
aperiod of ten days.
When the officers take the pris-
oners out to work on the streets it
is a physical impossibility to watch
them all the time so they make all
the prisoners leave their coats in
the cells during the nice weather in
order that they viii not run away.
Yesterday Doyle put his coat on
under his shirt and so cleverly con-
eealed it that he was not caught at
it. An opportunity presented itself
and Doyle vapoosed.

BALL AND CHAIN
ARE RESORTFD TO

Tuesday a city prisoner who had
been sentenced to the roads would
not work at the command of the
guard, Policeman John Nelson, and
the matter was reported to Mayor
Harmer. who ordered the ball and
chain to be placed on him Wednea-
day morning. So ball weighing
about fifty pounds was chained to
one Of his ankles Wednesday morn
ing and four policemen were neces-
sary to drive him along with the
other members of the gang to Fac
tory streetSa mile away, where street
work was beng done. There we're
a good many indignant persons on
the way, but the order had been Civ
en- by the mayor and the police did
their best to observe it. 1t is need4
less to say the fellow was not in
good plight to work, when he reach
ed Factory street, but then he ought
to have worked the day before, and
thus avoided such treatment.
The officers had instructions from
THE mayor to leave the man at a
designated point and return to the
other prisoners. When they went
to get him at noon he had disap-
pearcd. Just where he went is not
known although persons saw him
pass the tin plate mill shortly be-
fore noon and he had neither ball
nor chain attached. How he rid
himself of them is a mystery. The
city lost the chain valued Mt ninety
cents. the lock Sa4ded at Seventy
five and the ball isEaid to have cost
etwo dollars.

B. & 0. CAFE
HAS NO OWNER

The B. & o. cafe which has been
sold twice will have'to be sold again
declares Constable Andrew Lyon.
Some time since it was ordered sold
by order of the court on a distress
warrant issued for the Fairmont
Brewing Company and Brack Thorn
was the highest bidder. Some
trouble ensued and the sale was de-
clared void. Again it was put up
and sold on Monday last TO Edward
Connell. He insists that he pur-
chased it with the understanding
that he would take it only in the
event that he could secure license.
Today the constable is advertis-
ing it, the sale to take place on
June 2. Lyon thinks the legisla-
ture should enact law m&king it
a felony for a person to bid in prop
erty and then refuse to take it.

fight occurred out in the West End
near the Hart Brothers alachine
works and in the melee j. d. Joan-
son, an elderly man suffered a brok-
en- arm. AT the time he came be-
fore Squire Harry Gordon and

of Tom Seaton and Rill Bush. The
men came in and confessed, paid a
fine of $500 and costs each and
were released.
Now johnson is suing the two
men for damages before Squire
j. N. David. The trouble all arose
over some kidding wherein john
son got mad. He made insulting
remarks about Seaton's wife anG
some other women. Before Seaton
knew of this, however, johnson and
Bush got into a fight, the former
going for the latter with bedslat.
Before the fight ended Seaton ar
rived. Bush took the slat away
from johnson and hit him over the
arm with it, fracturing the mem
Der.
Justice David gave johnson iudg-
ment of $500 against Thomas
Seaton and Rill Rush Wednesday
afternoon, as damages for the break
ing of one Of Johnson's arms several
days ago in an assault made on him
by the defendants. They may APP
