Sidewalks on (liristmas liny and Haled into Court. Flagrant disregard for the :nti-( pectorating on the sidewalk ordinate Saturday afternoon led to the arrest and incarceration In the city bastii: of "Touchstone" William Allison. T1" "Senator" violated the ordinance plain view of ChieMf Police Rayburu, and his arrest was a matter of prompt action. The violation of the Jaw in tended to prevent pedestrians from making cuspodores of sidewalks, was broken at the time of day when Mr Allison was hurrying to his home to seat himself at his annual dinner de signed as an annual Christmas spread. But his entanglement with the good right arm of the law delayed his din ner. As if by a strange co-Incidence more cronies of the flour maker than a man can count on his two hands had business In the city hall just at that particular time, where the Imprison ment of thc-lr fellow townsman, re spected and honored, met the'r as'on lshed gaze. The heavy "screen" door of tli-r ct-ll was dosed on the unfortunate- nwi for a period of something like an hour. At the end of that time, arrangements had been made with the. city mftgls trate to have the prisoner released un til next week when the recorder would be able to bear the case. A succession of two holidays is responsible for the fact that the hfuring' was not a speedy one. Xo Records On docket. The Dolice court records lodav fail i to show any official notation of the ar rest. .Of course the nest solution of the problem of how the arrest came to be kept off the books is that the Senator's friends were behind the ar rest with the intention of keeping the town'B jokemaster awa from his din ner. . Allison is popularly known as the huge Joker of the city, and if we mis take not, he has had one put up on him this time. It Is your move Sen ator. However, the Senator will move all right, though It may take more than a day or two to devise means and methods for "moving." "Oh, You Rubes!" The editor of this paper arises to ask if it is not a fact that greater len iency is shown to the offender on his showing that the offense Is his first, tfvery court exercises this leniency, but the kangaroo court of jaspers who feloniously waylaid the editor of this paper last Sunday on his return from La Grande in company with his wife don't know any more about leniency than a rabbit. ' The only consolation Is that the married ones In the- bunch owed It to us and the single ones will get It from us in return soon, hope.
