POLICEMEN AND
F|REMEN RIDE
AND THEY WILL NOT BE RE-
QUlRED TO PAY ACCORDING
TO ORDINANCE.

City policemen and firemen may
ride on the street cars now without
paying fare. The order which took
this privilege from them has been res
cinded. There was a conference last
night between Mayor Kellough ana
Attorney RAIDER, counsel for the trac-
ton company.
The tact of the matter is the Is
suance of the order requiring police
men and firemen to pay fare was
mistake These gentlemen are given
the right to ride free by the fran
ohise granted the traction company.
But there are no more free rides foc
the mail carriers it is said.
The resembling of the order so odious
to policemen and firemen was first
made known to the police department
this morning when one of the patrol
men who had been asked to pay fare
Monday was told he could ride free
The glad news was Immediately car
ried to headquarters. However the
chances are slim that Night Sergeant
Morse and others will get their nickles

FALSE REPORT STARTED.
Team Left by r. l.. Britain Causes
Some Unnecessary Worry.

A sensational report to the effect
that Robert l.. Britain, who last week
in company with two clairvoyants.
went in search of some trace of his
4-year-old son Cecil who was lost in
the Blue mountains about a year ago.
had apparently met with serious mis-
hap, if not foul play. The police were
advised of the report and asked to
make an investigation.
The report was started by two men
from Toll Gate who advised NJ. F..
Stewart of the Walla Walla Feed e
Livery barn that the team which he
had let to Mr.. Britain was at Toll
Gate and that the whereabouts of Mr..
Britain and his party were unknown
1t developed however, that it was.
the intention of Mr.. Britain to leave
his Team at Toll Gate while he
searched with the clairvoyants for
traces of the lost child.

WALLA WALLA
GETS BIG SHOOT
PACIFIC COAST HANDICAP WILL
BE HELD IN THIS CITY NEXT
YER.

In all probability the next annual
Pacific Coast handicap shoot will be
held at Walla Walla.
Application for the shoot will be
made by the local rod and gun club
Immediately following it's next meet
ing which will be held next Monday.
1t is generally understood that the
managers of the Pacific coast handicap
have practically promised Walla Walla
the shoot providing local sportsmen
will contribute $500 toward defraying
the expenses of the same.
J. F. Smails, secretary of the Sports
mems association and prominent in
shooting circles of the northwest, said
today the shoot was practically assured
as it is the desire of local sportsmen
to have it here next year and the rails
ing of the necessary $500 would be a
matter of small moment.

THE POLICE COURT.
Fined $5 for Indulging in Target
 Practice.

Michael O'Brien of 236 Cherry street was going home Saturday even- ing with a basket of pears on his shoulder when Archer Leggett, half drunk, issued from store and wan tonly knocked the basket off the mans shoulder, scattering the fruit all over the street.
 O'Brien buckled into his assailant instantly and the fight was going against the latter when he took to his heels and fled down Cherry street with O'Brien and an officer close on him. He was arrested for breach of the peace and settled the case this morning for $7.
 Edward Deveney fought Officer Cronin from South Main street to the police station in the police ambulance, Saturday afternoon. He was fined S5 and costs. and $1O and costs.
 John Clancy of Cheshire was sleep ing it off in Rushton place when he was arrested. It cost him $7 and the trimmings.
 The peace of Chase park was broken Saturday afternoon by reports of Giovanni Soldis revolver. The young man was shooting squirrels for target practice. Having just come from the old country he thought peo- pie here had the privilege of shooting off firearms whenever they felt like it. It cost him $5 straight to find such is not the case.
 Joseph and Anthony Chesnovich and Anthony Lithuania undertook to chop off Mrs John Czesnovicze's right hand at 30 Lawrence street yesterday afternoon because she objected to one of them leaving her house owing a board bill. Dr Farrell sewed up the injury. The hearing showed Lith- uania had nothing to do with it and he was let go, but Joseph was fined $7 and costs and his brother $10 and costs

BATH FOR PUNISHMENT.
Queer Sentence Imposed by Judge
 Cooper of New Britain.

|
 New Britain, Oct 14.-After hear
 ing<a case in chambers last Thursday
 morning, Judge E. Cooper adjourned
 the prisoners case, and ordered the
 police to give the accused bath.
 In little while Officer Frank Eng
 fish was seen on his way to a gro- cery store, and he held in hand a piece of paper with a memorandum
 of the articles he needed to execute the orders of the court. Here's the
 list: One cake of sapolio, or, in case
 that cant be obtained, one box gold dust; one scrubbing brush, one Turkish towel, one box bathasweet
 The officer was noticed on his way back to the station with his arm full of packages. Who is this job up to?" he inquired of Chief Rawlings. That officer replied that it was up to him; being a married man, it was believed that he had the experience. In few minutes he marched the subject for the bath from the cell room into the bath rom. He locked the door. Wow! The w-w-water is c-c-old." the youth was heard to exclaim, and then there was a splash. In a second some gurgling and sput- tering was heard, and the conclusion of those on the outside was that the kid went in ''so deep" Stand up here now" gruff voice was heard
 say, and then the sound of drip
 ing water was audible. Gee, that
 lurts. Stop!" The conclusion was
 hat the scrubbing brush was being
 pplied. My gracious, what dirty
 ,eet! Left up your leg. When did you get your last bath?" was heard coming from the room, and the an- swer. ''I don't know" In the course of half an hour the officer and a strange boy were observed to come from the bath room. The lad did not look like the one who went into the room, and the reporters investi- gated. They were forced to believe that the rosy checked, sweet scented lad was the same one that went in. The next morning the judge took the officers word that the clean, fresh looking youth that he saw was the 90 uit Ont NIdt ldSCu ulIil ISuds morning. He was sure of his identi- ty only by his clothes.
 The boy told Officer English that he did not have his clothes off be- fore since Labor day. He and an- other boy went away from home then and had been sleeping in a barn on the Stevens estate every night since |
 The youngster who got the bath ! was Stanley Gruntinski, or the name that he uses, because it is easier to l speak. is '.Griswold." He and Mat | thew Coskoski were in court charged with stealing a bicycle from Otto Singer. a little boy. Officer English !, caught the boys. Griswold's case was adjourned until Friday morning, l with the order that he be given the ! bath. Coskoski was sentenced to the ! reform school and placed on proba- ton for a year. with the sentence l hanging over him.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Rosebud Juniors defeated
 the Quaker Juniors on Corcoran's lots
 yesterday by the score of 5 too. Peter Ward, the Bridgeport en- gineer who was injured when two trains collided near Kalbfleish factory a few weeks ago, is getting on well at the Waterbury hospital.
 The Daughters of Ruta were to have started fair on Wednesday ev- ening, November ,13, but some of them were suspicious of the date and it may be changed.
 It looks as though the Brooklyn team will have a mighty hard task to defeat the Pastimes with "Red" Moran in the box.
 The harvest festival of St Pat rick's parish will start this evening in the Lyceum. On Wednesday even- ing the Cadets will have supper at the festival and all the members of the society are expected to turn out.
 It was thought that the Cadet football team would disband after it's game with the Merrimacs yesterday but it will continue to exist. The members of the eleven feel confident that they are the equal of the other amateur elevens in the city and will carry out their schedule.
 It looks as though another pool room might be soon opened in Brook lyn. Since the one in the Byron sky scraper, wher Leary's barber shop is located, went out of existance the fellows have been lost. If it becomes a realty it will be situated on the right side of Bank street between North Riverside and North Leonard streets.
 A special meeting of the man agers of the Junior Amateur league has been called for this evening by President Joseph A. Smith at which the business of the organization will be completed. The Quakers by de- feating the Pioneers yesterday have a clear title to first place and will re- ceive $75 for coming out on top. The remainder of the $100 will go to the Pioneers who captured the place. There were eight teams in the league at the beginning of the season and each put up $10. The other money needed to form the $100 was made on a dance given before the season started. Although it was the first season for the league, it was very suc- cessfull, and the games were wit messed by large numbers. There was little or no trouble and the president so conducted the organization that no team had a chance to find fault.
