ELEVEN ARRESTED YESTERDAY
Yesterday was a banner day for the
police court. That is. from a point of
njmbers. Eleven drunks and vagrants
weie rounded up. Out of trat number
one paid his fine of ten dollars, and the
rest were given five days of cleaning
streets. However, four of that number
this morning "Couldn't see the instruction
for the dust", and are now eating two
meals a day at the city Jail, and the menu
is not an extensive one either, just bread
and water. "Honorable" George Peter
son, who yesterday ihformed the police
authorities that screet work was below his
dignity, this morning complained to Mar
shal fVayburn that he was not feeling well.
The thin diet and jail will soon loss its
charms for him and it is expected that he
will be piiking up cobble stones before
Monday.
S1 perintendent Stoner is working won
ders on the streets and alleys with the
squad of vagrants. Those of them who
agree to work are taken to the restaur
ants and given excellent meals everyday.

be enabled to ring the alarm bell. It is
