 were not doing themselves any good
 had to be taken care of and beside them the following were booked: Mike McGinty. a sleeping drunk; J. F. Cook. for vagrancy: Thomas Morley. who
 was both a drunk and a vag: Steve Harris. who was drunk and weighted
 down with cheek money: and Phil Scott who is a vag on two counts. He
 was in jail couple of days ago and released 10 leave town but failed to
 travel and was thrown in again.
 STRANGE CcNDUCT-A Mexican
 woman was arrested last evening and held at the city jail for .astime but had
 to be discharged as there was no case against her. though she had acted very
 strangely and if not inclined to small thefts she is at least unfamiliar with
 recognized customs the violation of
 which constitutes trespass. The day
 before she entered a house while the
 occupants were in the back yard and
 when the mistress of the place stepped
 in she was engaged in rummaging
 through the drawer of the dresser. She was asked to give an account of herself
 and then exposed two baby bonnets
 she said she wanted to sell. She was
 shown the door. Later a cheap watch
 was missed and it was supposed she | had taken it. Yesterday she passed | the place again and was stopped until | the officers could come and get her. The watch could not be found nor any proof that she had ever seen it so she
 was discharged. She might have been | held longer only that she had a sick baby at home.

 TO START 4 BAIKY HORSE. Saturday afternoon a large crowd gathered at the intersection of Adams and Center streets. part of the people to tell a lady how to start a baIky mare she was trying to drive. and the rest to enjoy the sport. for somehow a balky horse appeals to great many people as fun-unless it is their horse After a number of volunteer wise men had twisted the animals ears. kicked his fetlocks. squeezed and pushed back her upper lip until she was all but thrown down and in various other ways abused her to their hearts con- tent, man came along who knew what to do. He started the horse in d simple way. by following instructions ! printed in this paper q month or two ago. Whether he got his information out of The Republican or not is i'm material so long as he had the same remedy. and here it is.

The man who first publish ed this remedy announced that he had never known il to fail.
