CARELESS NEGRO is FINED.
A. Gentry Ran Over = Six-Year-Old
Boy.

Louis Policy, aged 6, was run over
and slightly injured Monday by laun-
dry wagon, driven by a negro named A.
Gentry. The little boy With his father,
Mr. Edward Policy of Republic eoun-
ty, were standing at the corner of
Eighth and Kansas avenue watching
the circus parade. The negro, a driver
for the Pantatorium. drove around the
corner at an unnecessary speed, and
the wheels of the wagon knocked the
boy down, passing over his arms and
chest A crowd which witnessed the re-
suit of carelessneSs, surrounded the
negro and his wagon, and it looked for
a minute like he was in danger of vio-
lence The police came in the patrol
wagon and took Gentry to the station,
where he was arraigned in police court
and fined SO for assault. The early
trial was on account of Mr.. Policy
who wished to return to his home in

A number of spectators say the ne

that several people narrowly escaped

being tried, some lady, who did not
give her name, telephoned that she
would come down and prefer another
charge of fast driving against Gentry.

Lid on New Orleans Saloons.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 16.-To Sc
cure an alcoholic drink in New Or
leans Identification of some sort was
very generally necessary. Those who
could produce satisfactory proof as to
intentions were admitted past saloon
doors, many of which were otherwise
securely locked. Some saloons closed
entirely, and for the first time in sew.
eral years the city saloons lost COM
pletely the wide open look which has
come to be thought of as a sequence Of
the semitropical climate. This strict
observance was caused by an order Of
Police Inspector Whitaker to his men
to make arrests whenever they saw
violations.
