POLICE COURT NOTES.

In eager response to the recent de-
cision of Attorney General Jackson
granting witness fees to police officers
in the juvenile court, the officers OF
the force are marrying the records for
the last two years for claims hereto
fore disallowed and the amount of
these fees will reach several hundred
dollars.
When Judge Dana of the district
court held not long since that the Of
ficers of the law had no right to fees
for their services in the courts, the
policemen were downcast and night Of
ficers thought they were treated badly
as oftentimes they were called from
bed early in the morning to attend
court. Directly afterward when they
were allowed fees in the juvenile court
under the decision of the state attor-
ney, relief was theirs and all are care
fully computing their services.
What is supposed to have been a
bomb, though it looked like a roll of
paper money, and which exploded, Sc
verely burning several boys, among
whom it was thrown, is now occupying
the attention of the chief of police and
his detectives.
A crowd of boys were playing ball IN
the vacant lot between Lime and Law
renee streets nearly two weeks ago
when four men walked along the side
walk and stood for a moment looking
at the play. Suddenly one of the men
tossed something up into the air which
they report looked like roll Of bills.
The thing exploded in their midst and
the men fed.
Harry French was severely burned
about the body and a son of w. S.
McCallam was burned about the body
and a piece of flesh was torn off his
arm by the explosion.
There is little hope of finding out
what the mysterious roll of bills really
was as it has been so long since the
affair took place.
''Bonbon" of the vicinity of First and
Madison streets was shown to be the
woman who fought with Ada Hall in
the Bottoms night before last instead
of "Sapho' and therefore Sapho, ar
rested and charged with cutting her
assailant with a knife was discharged.
Ada mourned that she did not have
her witnesses there for she insisted
that Sapho had stood over in the door
of her shack just before the fight whet-
ting knife with a long blade and that
after she had started the squabble with
Sapho dashed out and rippe1
open her eyebrow.
Sapho, on the stand, said she had
seen Bonbon getting the worst of the
encounter and suddenly jumped back
to avoid a vicious upper cut when her
eye caught sight of an old tin pail
which had lain in the streets for
and months. With this Bonbon
struck Ada. The bottom broke out of
the pail and Selling a piece of the
rusty tin Bonbon jabbed this into Ada's |
eye which made a referees decision I'M |

Just come over from his own dear

climbed up over the wheels and
cuddled down in corner.
In few minutes the owner
came, jumped into the carriage
and drove away. Tony was very

more surprised than the man
when he found he had a monkey
riding beside him.
He turned around and drove

When the horse stopped Tony

that his master went straight

with her mothers brother-in-law

whom she has lived since the
death of her mother some four

Fence Soon to be Erected Around
Confederate Monument.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
1t is very gratifying to note the
interest of the grand jury in the
proper care and protection of the
Confederate monument, as evinc-
ed by the recommendation that
the county commissioners erect a
suitable fence around it. AS is
we'll known, the act of the Legis-
lature that authorized the COM
Imissioners to make an appropri-
alton of county funds to complete
the monument also gave them
charge of it, thus making it pub
lie property.
Since the completion of the
monument, unpaid subscriptions
to the amount of $45 have been
paid to me and on consultation
with Judge McNeill, chairman OF
the executive committee Of the
Veterans Association, it was de-
cided to ask the commissioners to
erect a fence around the monu-
ment, using the amount on mana
as part of the necessary funds,
the commissioners supplying the
balance needed. They promptly
and cheerfully acceded to this re-
quest, and plans were submitte !;
to them and they selected very
pretty design and directed or au-
thorized the undersigned to close
the contract for the erection OF
the fence. This was done on the
End of August and the fence was
to have been shipped on or about
the 1st of September, so that we
are constantly expecting it; anc
in short time we hore to have {
nice enclosure around the monu
ment. of which we are so justly
6 proud.

Wasted Wind, or a Lawyers La
Dor Lost.

During court last week a GER
tain lawyer was putting up a stiff
fight for his client. He had his
ducks all in a row and when the
evidence was in he arose and i'm
mediately began to address the
jury, not waiting to find out
what the solicitor had it in his
heart to do. This certain LAWYER
spoke long and we'll. 1t was a
noble effort. He lifted up his
voice in eloquent pleading and
tore things into shreds; his voice
was now like the roll of thunder,
now soft as a caress. For the
space of three-quarters of an
hour by the clock this certain
lawyer held forth in impassioned
appeal, and then, perspiring at
every pore-for it was a hot af-
ternoon-he resumed his seat
with the consciousness of duty
we'll performed.
And then Solicitor Sinclair cut
the silence which fell upon the
room after the certain lawyers
peroration with the quiet an
nouncement that as he had fail
ed to make outs case against the
defendant he would not ask for e
verdict.
A little gale of laughter shook
court, jury, bar and spectators,
and the next case was called. Il
was on the certain lawuar
