POLICE COURT NEWS.
Were Several Petty Offenders to Face
Judge Urmy.

There was no doubt about the guilt
of Ollie Taylor, who lives in the little
stone house at 924 Kansas avenue.
Ollie is negreSS. When the police
heard of her. she had come out upon
the avenue and was yelling at the top
of her voice which at that high pitch
is screech to vie with Iocom olive.
After she had alarmed the whole block
last night she was side tracked by Per-
ney and woodward and run into the
police station. At court this morning
she could not articulate past a harm
less whisper. She seemed to think the
procedure good joke and persisted in
laughing at the judge and giggling to
herself until sobered up by the an
nouncement of a $2s fine. To add to
her ridiculous conduct her man"
walked in at the pronouncing of the
fine and after a difficult series of IA
cial contortions consisting of nervous
twitchings of the eyes, a lahorious
showing of the teeth, three whistles
and tongue transmission to the low
gear, he said: "Sh-sh-sh-she is m-m-
m-my," and there he stuck for furth-
err preparation after which he added,
'-ww-wife.' Then he was sent to get
money to pay the fine. He is
stranger in Topeka police circles.
Begging plaintively for Little Joe,' to
come and save the money on the floor
