Last Night With the
# Police =

Motorcycle Patrolmen Brown and
Nichols were complaining because of
inactivity of law violators early last
night, when their attention suddenly
was attracted by an unmuffled auto
mobile exhaust. About ten minutes
later George Chusman was at head
quarters furnishing S. bond to insure
his appearance for trial this morBing
on a charge of violating the ordin-
ance which prohibits making a motor
car resemble a rapid-fire gun.
w. f. Mccormick, while at the
wheel Of a huge. six-cylinder affair
at Third and Boston last night, UNI
dertoOk to drive on the wrong side
of the street. Motorcycle Patrolmen
Brown and Nichols ~adm6nishcd him
against il, whereupOn w. f., accord
ing TO the officers, explained in no
unmeaning tones that ohe had little
confidence in their ability to tell the
truth. Therefore it was necessary for
Mr.. Mccormick to wait at police
headquarters until a friend arrived
with the necessary bond. The charge
against him is Jay driving"
j. b. Clarence forgot to apply a
match to his gas lamps before start
ing for a drive early last evening, and
seemingly was greatly surprised when
apprised Of the fact that he was
under arrest for violation of the ordi-
nance which governs Just such for
g~etfulness. Judge Clark pr0bably
will caution him to tie a light
string around one of his fingers in
the future.
Harry oCogle was another who "jay
drove his car and was pinched by
the pop-pOps. Bond was furnished
by a friend, a transaction which made
IT unnecessary for him to slumber in
the basement boudoir until this
morning.
When Claude Bedford, IA years
old, was seen wandering aimlcssly
about the east end by Sergeant Haw-
kins last night, he was stopped and
questioned. He admitted he had
made his getaway" from the chill
dren's home at Sand Springs last
Thursday, and was quite willing to re-
turn. He was given. a place to sleep
at police headquarters and this morn
ing will be sent back to the home.
Claude didn't know what had hap
pened to Ted Tucker and Carl Reel,
who escaped with him. o
After Sam Osborne had put himself
on the outside Of a quantity Of bad
whisky in the east end last night. he
conceived the idea that he suddenly
had been transformed into a pig as
he sought out and waIlowed in all
the mud heo could find. Therefore,
when the patrol dumped Sam at po-
lice headquarters ohe had little re-
semblance to a human being. He will
answer to a charge of drunkenness
when his name is called this morn
ing.

Oscar Mitchell, a negro, after trans
forming himself into a miniature
arsenal, went abroad last night to find
a certain gentleman who done cut
him up with a razor. He found him
all right n b'a2ed ava one Of the
bullets taking effect in the enemv's
leg, About that time members of the
police department got a strangle hold
on Oscar and prevented him from
transforming the other mani George
Sloan, into a sieve. Mitchell was
booked at headquarters for investiga-
ton. In addition to two revolvers,
sufficient ammunition was found on
him to kill a hundred men.
When Harry Matthews attempted
to sell a couple Of diamonds i'm the
east end last night, Detective l.. B.
Bewlcy made some inquiries. The
forthcoming answers were not alto
Eother satisfactory and Matthews was
taken to headquarters, where he will
be held pending further Investigation.
