Court; Both Drunk

Underestimation Of the kick in
one little jolt of bootleg whisky
creased the slide down which JACK
Woods and his daughter, Rose
Pruden, tobogganed into the Day-
export police court yesterday.
Jack had the bottle. His daugh-
ter was with him They were in a
house at 1912 West Second street.
although they live in Rock Island.
The father gave the girl drink
The effects were so disastrous that
they were both arrested for intoxi-
cation.
Woods was penitent in police
court Never again, your honor"
said he From now on, sure and
I'm going to be one grand man.
Never will | touch another drop"
So affected did he become by the
courts generosity in suspending 20
days over them both, with the I'M
derstanding that they get back to
Rock Island on the first green car,
that Jack left the court room with
out his cap.
He bounded back in while an
other case was on trial, apoIog;zed
and again thanked the Judge, and
bounded back out with his cap in
his hand
