POLICE COURT JOTTINGS.

Squire Irwin was called out of bed Sunday morning at 3* o’clock to hear some complaints for intoxication, a racket having started on Cullen street near the Makeever House along in the night after the wrestling match, in which Wm. Stewart, the wrestler, and Hartsell Adams, Frank Bruner and “John Doe” were mixed up. The three latter were given “a dollar and,” $4.30 all told, but Stewart succeeded in breakitfg away from the oflflcers while on the way to jail, and made his escape. He ’phoned down to the Squire Mnoday evening, however, that he would be down Thursday and settle the expense to the outraged dignity of the state. He hit nightwatch Critser a knockout blow in the chest, but the latter suceeded in getting in one or two licks with his club which did some damage and he was finally overpowered, only to break away while on the way to the bastile. Saturday the squire had Mrs. Cora Schultz up before him for the alleged theft of a skirt from the home of J. L. Brady, where she was employed. The Bradys, finally declined to prosecute and the case was dismissed on her promise to leave town and remain away. She went to her mother’s home at Parr.
