Keep the bad whisky out of your
system or we will get you again." said
Chief Eaton. Go, and do so no more"
said Jailer Smith and Lewis Maze, a
member of the white horse gang" left
the station this morning after working
out his fines, both old and new. With
broad grin coming over his whisker-
ed face Maze turned just as he closed
the door of the station and said:
Sherman said, war is HE'LL but 1 can
tell him something far worse. Try
whisky once"
After two days of rest the bicycle
riders of the city have broken loose
again and there are four arrests and
fines on hand today. They include a
Washburn student, C. R. Otto; high
school boy, Snow Sears; a telegraph
operator, A. B. Garfield; a machinist,
Louis Pyetzke The police did not at
tempt to pronounce the latter name but
congratulated the gentlemen on hav-
ing such memory. There are lots of
Smiths, Jones. etc, given to the police
but never before did a man have the
nerve to give the name of Pyetzke. All
of the cyclists gave over their dollars
and the prospects for a good pay roll
at the police station are bright.
Sprague Chase, who has brought
number of loads of whisky to the police
station in years past, was arrested
again last night for raising a rough
house" among his family. He came
home about midnight and waking them
all up tried to tell them of the bears
he had killed and the ones he waS go
ing to kill When his son refused to
believe the stories the father pitched

fight. The son came to the station this
morning and swore out Warrant
against his father. And still the motto
hangs on the wall-"God bless our
home"
Two farmer boys, Lewis Jackson ami
Charles Girard, were picked up by Of
ficers Perry and Smith last night for
vagrancy. They seemed to have moth
ing to do and looked as though they
were hunting for trouble. When the
police station was reached their horror
of crime could be easily detected and
when released this morning they were
Shivering with an unknown fear. Gee.
we hain't done anything and don't
know how to do anything in this big
town." said one of the little fellows
when asked about his actions this
morning. The kids left the station on
a run when released fearing that the
huge goblin would chase them up the
street. THE kids are all right but they
need a little more care before being
turned loose" said Chief Eaton this
morning as he watched them stumble
over each other trying to get out of
sight of the station.
Charles Levi is working on the rock
pile for being found near the opium
joint operated by Herbert Atkinson.
When the police had taken Atkinson
and the woman attendant from the
shack Levi made rush for the de-
serted apartment and rified the pock-
cts of the sleepers' clothes. Atkinson
says if he ever gets out he will make it
hot for Charley. 1t means another
term under Jailer Smith and before
Judge Urmy If he does.
George Sherman. a box maker, was
arrested this morning for a little back
fine sum he had allowed to slip his
mind. He is big strapping twenty
five-year-old fellow but his mother had
to come to the station and pay his way
out of the cell The whole sum was
work or he will get severe whipping.
or made to stay in bed all day without
pie or "jell."

fifty dollars reward have been sent to
