Night watch man Wiley is somewhat of !
a foot racer himself and it takes a pretty I
fleet-footed man to get away from him,
even when he has the start and the
benefit of bad lights and muddy, streets.
Last night about 7 -.30 he arrested a
man named Hooley on First street and
escorted bim in his usual Cbesterfieldian
manner to the city jail where he pur
posed extending to him the hospitality
of the city. Hooley was supple of limb,
of graceful carriage, gaunt flanked and
wiry, just the kind of a man his name
would indicate a regular dancer of the
Hooley-Hooley stripe. As Wiley
reached his hand in his pocket for the
keys of the city, Hooley, with the spring
of a cat, cleared the sidewalk, abandon
ing our simple republican platform, so
to speak, and taking the Coxey plaD in
stead, straight down the middle ot the
road. Wiley was after him in a bound
and for a half dozen jumps, it was a
pretty race. Oar asphalt streets are in
fine condition for foot racing, but the
glare of the electric lamps blinded the
fleeing Hooley, and his nimble feet, or
one of them, caught on a piece of
projecting basalt, and as . he pitched
heavily forward bis hat feel off and his
open-faced countenance plowed up the
mud for many yards. He was up al
most in a rebound, and again struck
out, scraping the dirt from his eyes bb
be ran, and carelessly throwing it away.
His name was mud, though from the
time he fell, and not being able to see,
he ran in a circle and the offending Hooley-Hooley
was' soon in ftbe official
clutches of the wily Wiley.
When he was safely inside the jail,
and the lights were turned on, he was a
sight, sure. At first Wiley was not
quite certain whether he bfed arrested a
man or swiped a back alley, bat when
the chunk of mud opened its mouth and
spoke, Wiley knew he hadn't arrested
Court street, and so turned the keys on
him.
Wiley didn't get off so- easily, either,
for he was without rubbers, and as he
marched Hooley to jail, that gentleman,
just to show he held no grudges di
vided what real estate he owned with
birr, and Wiley had dirt enough to start
a ranch if he had some place to dump it.
