Dodge Court.

The district court is ahead of the
docket, and the jury was dismissed
at noon today, to report at 9 o'clock
Monday morning. pie" Jordan charg-
ed with stealing some old clothes from
the Provident Association barn, was
eral hours elaboration. The jury was
sent out last evening, but called for
further information, and was dismissed
for the night. This morning the jury
was still in doubt, and did not return
a verdict until 1890. The verdict was
perty worth $16'' PIE who is a
good loser, and has had plenty of ex-
perience with courts, sat and watched
the clock. Every time dat clock ticks, -
he remarked. "favors my case" Pie
hoped for hung jury, but when the
verdict was returned, he smiled as US
ual, and walked over to offer his arm
to a deputy sheriff.
PIE" Jordan is a notorious sneak
thief, whose right name is Andrew
Jordan. His sobriquet was earned
years ago. when he stole a shelf COW
cred with pies from a bakers wagon,
and hosting it onto his head, made his
escape. "Pie" would steal anything
which was not glued down. Once,
while the police were chasing him on
charge of theft, pie hesitated in
his mad flight to pick up a ten gallon
can of gasoline, for which he had no
use, ana take II along. the weight OF
the can led to his capture, for he was
a good racer.
In the conviction today, sentence was
! suspended for a few days. Pie will go
to the penitentiary for crime of small
size, simply because he is public nuis-
ance. Several years ago he served a
term for stealing a set of harness. Dur

case was called today, Mrs. Buckmas-

signed statement from Dr. H C.

was suffering from peritonitis, and un-
