Misfortune in punches for u hours,
beginning last night, pursued man
who in police court this morning
gave his name as Edward Brown.

morning fined S5.O5 by Justice Fred
Entrfkin on a charge of disorderly
conduct.
Brown was taken in custody when
he was found beaten and bruised and
helpless from drink on Second street
His head was cut in numerous places,
his clothes covered with blood, both
eyes were discolored and his nose
broken He plead guilty to the charge
against him and paid his fine with a
check, but the name signed to the
check was not Brown. The police re-
fused to give out the mans real iden-

is not known.
