Joseph Burns, who is about 26 years bf age and whose'former residence was Monticello, 111., has been working as a ditcher but called a halt at drainage Thursday and indulged in some personal irrigation which soon had him “pissed to the gills.” He was quite conspicuous and when an officer told him to get out of town or out of sight he became quite authoritative and said he would not go unless he was shown and Officer Critser galled the bluff and he was shown inot only the inside of the jail for an overnight stay but was taken before Squire Irwin and pleaded guilty to a plain drunk. He was'given the customary fine of $1 and costs, amounting in all to $3.80, Which he paid.
