Arretted for Expectorating on Ti!
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. Elgin Recorder.
