In the Police Court.

Tnis morning was a busy one in
the police court of this city. For
over three hours the wheels of JUS
tice revolved and each revolution
placed portion of some law break
er's cash in the city treasury.
The young man charged with as
saulting a country cousin with a
portion of brick was given a
hearing and the judge thought tha,
he had enjoyed not less than fifteen
dollars worth of fun out of the bat
tie. In default of cash he was re-
raanded to Jail, The party who had
come out second best in the set-to
was thought, by the judge to have
already been sufficiently punished.
"A local dispenser OF conversation
water was fined one hundred dol
lars, and given thirty days on the
public works. This party was caught
red handed by Officers Jones and
Blackburn in the act of loading into
waiting conveyance two ten gallon
kegs OF trouble creator where the
same had been unloaded from a pass
ing Santa lFe train as it hustled into
this city from the moist municipality
of Fort Worth. The defendant filed
notice of appeal and was released
on five hundred dollars bond.
Three negroes answering to the
names of George Washington Truitt,
Napoleon Bonaparte Joiner and Win
field Scott Smith, were arraigned up
on the charge of failing to recog-
nize the property rights of parties
who were the rightful owners of some
coal which was in the railway yards
Of this city over night while in tran
sit. The judge thought that ten
dollars in each case would keep them
warm until the coming of the blue
birds and the daisies.
A gun toting case was indefinitely
continued on account of the absence
from the city OF important witnesses.
