May Buckmaster, CBig Onion)s and Il
number of friends congregated in her
room at 135 Harrison a week ago 20
enjoy themselves and to drink the con-
tents of twenty-three bottles which
were filled with that which made Mil
waukee famous In consuming the
contents. their hearing became defect
i've and it was necessary that they con-
verse and laugh boisterously that they
might hear each other. Neighbors in
the vicinity made complaint and Big
Onion and her friends were arrested
by the police and charged with disor-
derby conduct. The four appeared IN
police court Friday afternoon and an
officer testified that the disturbance
away. n. B. Arnold. judge of the po
lice court did not think this was suffi-
cient to make a case of disorderly con-
duct and discharged the bunch.
Embracing it as though it were a
long lost brother. Phillip c. Gault, a
nine-year-old boy who lives at 14O1
Harrison street, received a bicycle
which was stolen from him several
days ago. The bicycle, which was
made for lad of his age. was recov-
cred by the police Friday night. The
boys mother called the police this
morning and inquired about the missing
bike and was told to send her son after
it The boy, bareheaded and wearing
sandals without stockings, appeared ut
the police station to claim his own
and he embraced and caressed it as
though it were alive.
Robert Holiday would be a bad man.
Although only eighteen years old. he
al med himself with a forty-five calibre
revolver and started in search of In
dams and desperadoes. Instead OF
finding them, he found a police officer
who arrested him on the charge of car
rying dangerous weapons. The young
man is due to appear in police court
this afternoon to answer to the charge.

establishment at 500 Jackson street
Friday night and appropriated two,
pairs of pants and a black suit of

ing. A former employe of the estab
1ishment is suspected.
Rosie Hawkins and Howard GogginS
We're arrested by the police on the
charge of being the keepers of a hop
joint Thursday. Rosie was unable u |
furnish bond and appeared in police |

made the raid went on the witness |
stand but were unable to show that

in the habit of hitting the pipe in TIE

ard Goggins is due to report for hear
ing June u.
Sergeant Lon Sauls has returned
from his vacation and reports some
luck ct fishing. This department would
attempt to repeat the facts of some of |
the catches but the readers wouldn't |
believe it so what's the use. However, !
Sergeant Sauls asserts that he caught |
frogs as big WashtuDs and turtles |
with legs as large as premium hams
and few fish. 1t has been intimated
that he would distribute some of the |
spoiIs among his friends but he will
not promise anything more than one
of the so-called hams.
1t may be necessary to add another |
man to the police department to take !
the place of one of the regular patrol |
men. Several weeks ago the members |
of the police department exposed them |
selves to the ravageS of the weather |
that they might watch the automobile |
agents display their tact and skill on |
Col Hank Lindsay in trying to sell him |
a machine. Wagers from cigars to suits |
of clothes were made between the men, |
bers of the force that he would OF
would not forsake old Midget for tbs |
sake of the benZine buggy. However, !
he was caught by the craze of fash !
ion and paid out d check with. four fic-
ures for a ho-seless carriage. About two |
weeks ago. while entertaining friends in |
Excelsior Springs, Mo-, and attemLt- |
ing to convince them that he had To- |
Gated the fountain of youth the en-
CINE backfired, the crank hit his arm |
and the bones in the lower part were |
broken. Col. Lindsay, who enjoys mil |
itary honor as well as being an ex-
chief of police, returned to Topeka tC- |
day and now plans to wreck vengeance on |
the police department by requiring one |
OF the patrolman to crank his machine !
Hence the necessity of an additional |
patrolman.
