Police Court Busy

During the month of June there have
been 81 arrests in Newport for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct. Most all
of them have been plain DRINKS. those
that had money paid their fines and
others labored on the streets.
Friday evening Marshal JENNIE was
called to the &. N. depot to make an ar
rest. A Bonners Ferry lumberjack
boarded the train at Spokane consider
ably under the influence of liquor. On
the train he produced several bottles of
beer. and despite the protests of the
conductor proceeded to imbibe and tried
to force others to partake. The conduc-
tor wired ahead to the marshal, who met
the train and took Mr.. Lumberjack off
and hauled him before the court, where
he was assessed $40 and costs for his
sport.
Tuesday afternoon Fred Little and A.
D. Melder, of Blanchard, Idaho, ap-
peared on the streets considerably the
worse for liquor and made some talk of
shooting up the town. Becoming little
too fresh Marshal Jenne, with the assist
ance of Councilman Lutz, landed them
behind the bars. Leaving them safely
in jail the marshal departed, but soon
was called back to the jail by some small
boys, who had heard the prisoners at
tempting to escape. Melder had broken
down the door of his cell, and was rap
idly battering away the door to the jail,
when the marshal appeared and shackled
them so as to make further attempts to
get away impossible The next morning
Little pleaded guilty and was fined $50
and costs. Melder pleaded not guilty
and his trial was set for Saturday at 2
p. m. In addition to the charge of
drunkenness he may have to face the
charges of carrying concealed weapons
and attempted jail breaking, and if pro-
nounced guilty his little squirt of fun
may come pretty high.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS


Washington, Jan. 5.-The capitol

made statements that marked him as
insane
Senator LaFollette's secretary conf
municated with the mayor of Two
Rivers and learned that the parents
of the young man were not able to
provide the means for returning him
to his home and the authorities of
Two Rivers were unwilling to assume
the expense.
A few days ago Ringer called at
the vice presidents room and inquir-
ed for Mr. Sherman. No particular
notice was taken of him at first but
after he had made repeated calls the
vice presidents secretary, Devondorf,
questioned the visitor closely and
soon discovered that he was demented.
At the time Ringer INDUCED in threats
against Senator LaFollette and init
mated that he intended going to the
White House to try to have his
wrongs righted.
Mr.. Devondorf satisfied himself that
the man was unarmed.
