Frank Moulton, barber, who he's been
employed at the shop conducted by

Moulton lost his balance while standing
in the vestibulc Of moving electric ear
and fell to the street, cutting an ugly
cash in his head and suffering bruises.
The man boarded the Washington
street branch car at Maple avenue short
ly after seven o'clock. Walter Fowl<,
who was the conductor in charge Of the
ear, stated last night that he saw that
the man was in an intoxicated condition
and that he asked him to 80 inside,
but Moulton refused to do so. The car
proceeded to the Washington street
switch, which it made q stop. As it
started again, MouIton, who still stood
in the vestibule. lost his balance and
pitched to the street, striking the back
Of his head on the paving.
The conductor endeayored to catch him
as be fell, but was unable to do 50. The
car was stopped and the conductor went
back and found the man lying as he fell,
only partly conscious. He was taken
TO the City hotel, and DR.. M L. Chan.
dler was called Examination showed
that the most serious injury was cut
several inches long in the back OF his
head, but the blow did not fracture the
skull.
Moulton acted almost like a wild man,
and as they were unable to do anything
with him at the City hotel II was decided
to notify the police Chief Faulkner was
called and escorted him to a cell at the
police station In the city court this
morning, Moulton pleaded guilty to a
first offense OF intoxication and was fined

unable to pay, and went to the county
jail for. i5 days.

morning to second offense Of intoxica-
tion and was fined SIS. with costs Of
1874, which he thought he would be able
10 pay. He was arrested Saturday even
ing at the Scotch dance ii Miles hall
by Special Officer ]. A. Demo. Wilson
Is said to have been making 4 disturb
anee in fAe hail and had been put out
once, bnt came back again looking for
more trouble and Officer Demo was then
called in to arrest him.
Clifton @. Peake, who was arrested
Saturday afternoon on complaint of his
housekeeper that he was smashing I'D
the household crockery. was arraiened
in court Saturday evening and pleaded
guilty to d subsequent offense and was
fined SIS and costs. As this offense
placed him in the habitual drunkard
class, he was asked to disclose where he
got his liquor. He told the court that
n visitor at the house brought quart
of whisxey with him and treated. Peake
said that he never saw the man before,
but that his houselSeeper knew him.
Judge Scott thought that the respon-
dent ought to at least know the mans
name and sent him back to Jail until
this morning to think it over. This
morning Peake told the same story and
added that his housekeeper said she did
not know the man's name but that she
got acquainted with him at the state
fair. The Judge then stated that he had
decided to change the sentence from a
fine to 30 days in the county Jail.
