Dick Washington was looking for a
nickel" Sunday afternoon. He found
it and 1t cost him $500 or six months
in jail He was standing at Eleventh
street and Rhode Island avenue pac-
ing UP and down apparently waiting
for someone. Two men showed up
and they slipped him 3Oc and Dick
went away for a minute and came

Everything would have been all
right IL cop hadn't seen the whole
transaction and butted in. Dick
thought that train of cars had hit
him. He had played safe for so long
that his arrest was so sudden and un-
ceremonious that he failed utterly for
few minutes to realize what had
happened. But when he saw the
wagon coming down the street he
knew the beans had been spilled.
Judge Pugh told him that his little

Nice Doings for Sunday.
A perambulator, a razor and base
ball bat played a prominent part in
a Sunday morning scrap down south
west. Mamie and Alice Rice and
Carrie Boston and a few others cele-
brated the Sabbath by indulging in
chin music and wound up with an
Irish picnic. May had Mamie and
Alice arrested.
But when the case was called up It
looked as though everybody was do
ing the hitting. and everybody was
getting hurt. The court couldn't un-
tangle the affair as every one said

a baseball bat hit some one over the
head, but who had them and who got
hit with them the court couldn't find
out and told all three women to go
home.

Ed Kilgore is a steam engineer and
he works on Sunday. And it happens
that last Sunday he was trying to
make several hundred gallons of cold
water go crazy with the heat, but
the fire wouldn't fire very well. Matt
Thomas strolled by and without be-
ing asked volunteered some informa-
tin about boilers and fires.
Ed didn't like anybody to be telling
him this and he ordered Matt out
of the place. Matt still insisted on
telling Ed all about firing the boilers
and when Matt again ordered him
of the place Matt let loose with his
fist and it caught Ed in the jaw.
Ed fell up against the boiler and
before he could recover Matt fired
some empty bottles at him Just to
show that he was a good fireman.
the court sent him down for thirty
days and he will ride there behind
lot of steam.

and he dare not go home without 1t.
So he did the next best thing, he
