KOHN WAS DRUNK.

Henry Kohn, a not overly bright boozer who has been working for John Kajcr, west of town, attempted to force an entrance into John Rash’s residence in the northwest part of town last Friday evening, while under the influence of liquor, evidently thinking there was no one at home, and was discovered by Mrs. Rush after he had pried up a window and got partly through the same into the room. He was driven away and went to another side of the house and made another attempt to enter. Ed. Warren had been telephoned for during this time and soon appeared upon the scene wjth a revolver. When Kohn saw Mr. Warren he started to ran, and three shots were necessary to

bring him to a stop, none of which hit him, however. He wee finally landed in jail. He waa arraigned before Squire Irwin Tuesday and waa fined $2 and costs for dfrankenness, $13,05 all told, which waa paid by Mr. Karr, hia employer.
