Charles i a brave man; he is abso
lutely fearless. On Sunday night.
Charles had been fighting, lighting very
hard. Boo1 was hi opponent and while
Charle did not go down asd out. he
(.tumbled along Commercial street try
ing to borrow something he ran never
return trouble. He found it. Charles
Anderson, a handsome chap by the way,
plump of figure, features of an Apollo
and with a goodly blessing of nice yel
low hair cropped short, had plenty of it.
Charles questioned Anderson as to the
amount of trouble he could spare and
the reply possibly did not please him.
An argument followed and as Charles
explained to the rollee Judge Anderson
yesterday, "this gentleman. Mistaii An
derson butted into him ,and the first
thing he knew he got a clog in the
"Ah," said deputy city attorney Spit
tle musingly, "you were fighting in self
defense, eh, Charles!
"Sure. I wouldn't run away from
no man."
"I see. Well your honor. Truly it
doth hurt, but the cae seems plain.
Charles says, quite emphatically he will
run for no man.
-Ten dollars or five days. Charles."
quoth the judge. . And Charles, whose
countenance had beamed under the hyp
notic influence of Spittle's solicit iou in
quiry, was lead away upon the arm of
the bailiff, crestfallen, beaten. But the
city's fare does not appeal to Charles;
he will pay the money.
Andersons were numerous in the po
lice court yesterday. There was one
Anderson though who had the let of
his fellows, he could neither speak or
understand English, and the funny part
of the whole thing Is that there was
no person in the court room who could
convey to hint the intelligence that the
hand of justice was about to fall heavily
upon him he was a Finn Mr. Spittle
rattled off the sterotyped charge with a
speed that would shame the A. & C. I.
flyer. Anderson sood in the box, an
interested listener.
"tinilty or not guilty!" queried the
attorney. Anderson wouldn't e it. He
looked from Spittle to the judge, from
the judge to the policeman, to the spec-
; tutors and then fell to twirling his
thumbs.
Oberg," said Mr. Spittle, "Explain
this proposition to the prisoner.'
"Nothing doing. He's a Finn," re
sponded the officer.
All policemen present were offered the
distinction and some of the spectator
were appealed to. All renigged, even
the judge. Spittle floundered hopeless
ly. "Drunk," he uttered half heartedly
aa a last resort.
"Drunk." muttered Anderson and then
his face broke into a happy smile.
"Sure, drunk very Iwd drunk last night.
I was."
"Five dollars or two days," thundered
the judge, tickled over the sudden ter
mination of what promised to to I? a
confusing case. Anderson smiled con
descendingly and muttered thank. He
joined Charles a few minutes later.
Oscar Lystia, andC. Hammar, Ixitii
charged with being drunk and released
on bail of $10.00 and respectively,
failed to appear in the police court yes
terday, thereby forfeiting their bail.
I'pon the calandar in the police court
yesterday there appeared the names of
two Andersons one charged with being
a common drunk, and the other having
the distinction of being a fistic aspirant.
