THE POLICE AND FOREST

You can amble and get away

Just after l o'clock Sunday
morning, while the beer was still
flowing, although the closing
hour had passed, six men were
gathered round a table playing
top dice.
Top dice is one of the quickest
known games for separating
suckers from their money. There
was $23 on the table in the Forest
Park pavilion Sunday morning.

receiving money for his testi-
mony. The latter took Bird BY
the arm and asked him to go back
into the court room. Bird
wrenched away and struck at
O'Donnell.
O'Donnell told Judge Better
what had occurred. Bird was
called before the court and Sc
verely reprimanded. He was
told that he had made himself
liable for contempt of court, coold
be sued for damages, and should
have charges preferred against
him before Chief McWeeny. The
Judge advised O'Donnell to file
the charges, intimating that he
would aid in furnishing Bird.
, 'You seem to think that be-
cause you are a driver for police
captain, you have special privi-
leges," said the Judge to Bird.
"As soon as policeman gets a
Job as driver for a captain or
sweeps out his front office he gets
a swelled head. Well reduce
yours"

iorm, from the Randolph and
Circle st. station, entered the pa
vilion.
"Ha! Gamblingp they exclaifn-
ed and arrested the six players,
not to mention the dice and the
money.
Then the proprietor of the pa
vilion appeared, wringing his
hands, shedding almost tears, and
talking about how this would ruin
him.
The police hearkened to the
proprietor. They also went into
his private Office with him. And
when they came out the call that
had been sent in for the patrol
wagon was cancelled, the six dice
players set free. and there was a
broad grin on the face of the pa
vilion proprietor.
Amt it great to be "in right?

While his mother gazed horror
stricken, James Kramer, 81, 2645
w. Harrison street, today shot
and fatally wounded his ianee,
Jennie Lochner, 3o08 Warren
ave, and then fred a bullet
through his own brain, dying in
stantly.
The tragedy occurred in Kra-

to have brooded over his failure
to obtain work, which made his
marriage with Miss Lochner i'm

DECISIONS IN LINN WOODEN co
CASE.

The Linn Wooden Co. VS.. c. O.
Brown. Rescript, Cornish, j.
In an action of trespass quare clau-
sum brought by the owner and lessor
of certain land water power and build
ings against a sublessee Of portion
thereof.
Held:
/. That the gist of the action is
the injury to the possessory right and
the plaintiff cannot maintain the suit
unless 1t was in possession at the time
of the alleged trespass,
,. That as the original lease con-
tanned n covenant that the lessee,
Page. should not assign or underlct
the premises or any part thereof with
out the consent of the lessor in writing
on the back OF the lease, the act of the
lessee in subletting a portion TO the
defendant without such consent was
without authority, and rendered the
suitcase voidable at the option of the
plaintiff, but not void.
3 That under the further covenant
in the original lease providing that The
lessor might enter to expel the lessee
if he should violate any of the cove
nants in the lease, the plaintiff could
have awaited itself of this privilege and
could have treated the lease as at an
end or it could waive the privilege and
treat the lease as still subsisting.
T. That the evidence in this case
clearly shows that the plaintiff waived
