NOTES FROM THE COURTS.
Fritz Durein's Place Is Raided-Echo
of Curator Milling Company.

The police raided Fritz Durein's
place on East Fourth street yesterday
and found a case of beer and a gallon
jug of whisky. Fritz was arrested on
charge of conducting nuisance and
his trial set for the latter part of next
week. On the occasion of a previous
raid of this place Fritz had the laugh
on the officers. as they were unable to
find any booze on the premises. This
time, however the officers climbed a
winding stair and found the parlor
containing the spider web. With this
case on file against Durein. the defend
ant enjoys the doubtful distinction of
having liquor cases pending against
him in four courts. namely, the police,
district. state supreme and United
States supreme courts.
Robert Campbell was arrested last
sance at 419 West Curtis street. May
Burns was arrested on charge of re-
lieving one of her gentlemen friends
of diamond ring, but she was later
discharged on account of lack of evil
dence.
