drew a prize of 500 and costs each
or an alternative of 80 days in the

Wednesday morning, as the result
of little conviviality the previous
evening and concerted action on
their part to do up" Chief of Police
Walsh.
Three Of the party were going
down the street at about 1l:00 o'clock
the previous evening emitting yells
which would make a Comanche
Indian turn around and wonder
what had broke loose when Chief
Walsh admonished them to keep
still and 20 on home. Instead of
taking the ADVICE in good spirit
they went down the line a short
distance when they picked up an
other man and evidently concluded
to come back and have some "fun;"
tor as they approached Mr.. Walsh,
standing in front of Garvey's, they
again commenced their yelling and
upon being told to shut up return.

choice invectives which led the
Chief to lay hold Of one of the mum.
Der, when the others piled on in a
bunch and merry war resulted in
the four being rounded up with the
assistance of citizens and the free
use of official persuasion.
1t is to be presumed the treatmen,
accorded the bunch by Judge Carey
will assist them in the endeavor &c
be better citizens in future.
