Obstinate This Time.

Mrs. Mary Liston owns in addition to

a fine of S110 after a third conviction for
not connecting her premises with the pub
lie drains. and in default expressed a
willingness to spend four months in the
workhouse. According to the Police
Court attendants she may change her
mind and pay the money. but up to a
late hour this afternoon the cash was not
forthcoming and Mrs. Liston was in the
cellroom waiting for the van.
Inspectors of the health department
have called many times in the past few
months at the Liston houses 300 and
1922 Georgia avenue. to investigate con-
ditions. generally reported a nuisance.
The owners alleged neglect was respon-
sible at first. Then she refused to con-
meet her premises with the drains
AS a result waste water has accumu-
lated about the premises. Conditions be-
came so insanitary that something had
to be done at once.
A warrant. the first asked for. was Is

sci attached to the Police Court. Mrs.
Liston was arraigned before the presiding
judge. Following a conviction she was
fined nominal sum.

neighborhood of $50. and was not paid

morning. and after the perfunctory testi-

tion by the court clerk brought the sum
to $110.
Says She'll Never, Never.
When the amount of the fine was an

dignant. She hurled imprecations upon
the cage door and said the bars and

he has sent to prominent church men

why do able and observing men
insist that the line between the En-

Not even the Joys OF prosperous

in the county clerks office. deputy
sheriffs, and clerks In the Office OF the

fortunate.
AS result Santa Claus did not
tarry long in the county building this
year. and he came nearly missing the
big stone structure entirely.
County Auditor Christian, who was
defeated for the nomination in tho pri-
maries, and whose term will expire at
the end Of the month, was remem-

The action OF the auditors In hold

which tends TO dampen the ardor OF
the county employees. For years it has
been the custom 10 pay salaries for the
latter part of December a week before

will not be forthcoming until the last

OF the men are broke. The auditors
say that after being paid men VIII"
