Another means of restoring "drunks'
taIEen to the city Jail to soberness was
invoked yesterday by police surgeons
ana nurses in the receiving hospital.
Toy Mitchell was found by a patrol
man at Fourth and Olive streets lying
in some weeds by the sidewalk in an
apnarently deadly stupor. Despite the
efforts of the patrolman to restore him
he did not move muscle, although he
appeared TO be breathing regularly.
IA hurry call was sent to police mead
uitarters and the patrol wagon came
pafioping down the street. Mitchell was
placed on q stretcher and taken to the
raoeiving hospital. When inside of the
receiving room, Mitchell appeared to
ha "all in"
fIe was placed on the operating ta-
bic and his pulse taken by one of the
police surgeons. 1t seemed to be regu-
lar and those present expressed doubt
as to whether the man was drunk or
lna deadly stupor. After repeated ef-
forts to bring him out of his trance
bW the usual methods, a police nurse
appeared in the doorway leading to the
Office with a half-inch plank in his
hand. Without saying word, he
walked over to the table where Mitch
i ell was lying and began swatting him
on the EOleS Oh his ICtls illlo bipb5iiS
the much desired effect upon the
adrunk." With his eyes half open and
half rising on his elbow, he grumbled
IN an almost intellectual tone: GO on,
YOU big stiff What're you trying to
do?"
with that he made an effort to rise
rom the table but was pushed back
by the police surgeon. Not being sure
That he was wide awake yet, the nurse
again applied the plank to the bottom
Of his shoes. II knew thatd get him,
he said.
Hes nothin' but a common drunk,
eame the chorus from those gathered
about the table watching intently the
Proceedings.
81 with that Mitchell was hustled over
To the desk sergeant and booked as a
drunk.
Mitchell had prol ably heard of the
slady-like" manner in which drunks
are cared for when taken to the city
sail and thought that that would be
D good way of passing few days va
cation at the expense of the city.
Mitchell was sadly disappointed, that
is, he viii be when he thoroughly
wakes up Instead of giving him a
4 bath and putting him to bed as he had
s supposed was the custom, he was
thrown into the drunk tanks.
