being burglary in the third degree.
The defendants waived a prelimin.
ary hearing and were bound over 10
the custody Of the sheriff, bail being
fixed at $500 In each case. The men
were evidently concerned over the
fact that Francis Joseph. alias Slim" Z"

OF
THE SUNDAY
DRUNK
ARE REcITEo IN COURT BY THE
VICTIMS.
Question of Who Owned a Bottle Of
Whiskey Is a Subject Of
Much Concern.

The police court grind today includ-
ed the usual number of drunks and
vags. all of whom were disposed of in
record time.
C. M. Denf1eld, who was unable to
appear" at Saturdays session, was ar
ralgned on the charge Of drunkenness,
to which he pleaded guilty, receiving
a fine of So or five days.
w. Saxon was charged with va
grancy but pleaded not guilty SO Wig
orously that his case was ordered con-
tinueI until the arresting officer could
be present. His bonds were fixed at
$40.
Vance Lund was the name in com
plaint for drunkenness, but as no one
appeared in answer 10 1t, an old man
on the "mourner's bench" was asked
to give his title. This he proceeded to
do In broken English, and, not being
understood, he was ordered back to
1ail until such time as he would be
better able to identify himself A
friend OF relative Of the latter ap-
peared at the jail to take up the old
mans case and attend to 1t.
John Dee was charged with having
been drunk on the Sabbath. He ad-
mitted that he had had a few drinks
Saturday night, which was consider
ed conclusive evidence and he was
given the usual fine OF 50 or five days.
p, P Wren also admitted that he
had been celebrating and drew sim
liar sentence from the lenient court,
Ray Shurtliff was charged with vio-
lating the speed limit with his motor
cycle He did not appear and HIS
bond of 50 was therefore declared for
feited.
The sequel to the rather complicated
case Of liquor-lmbibing, watch steal
ing, misplaced confidence and es-
tranged friendship, which came before
the notice of the police Sunday, made
