The Mayor at the session of Po lice Court Monday affernooto dis patched the cases before him with rapidity. There were very few, but those tried plead guilty and witness es had to be examined. Will Carroll and Red Warren were each fined ten and coat for disorderly conduct, to which cbsge they plead not guilty. Anthony Brown for violating tha hack ordinance which ttys that no hacks shall do business after they have been turned down by tbs Marsh al.

CUy waa visited by » set of burglar* aStnrday night that take the plum for unlqnt stunt*. They went Into tha pantry and purloined ali the salt meat that there was to the tune of about twenty-five dollar*. Finding nothing of further use them they went all over the place, trampling the garden, climbing fene ea Into the back lot and around to the front of the bouse. Mr. CUy awoke next morning to find that all the mule* belonging to the eonnty were loose and not Jn the lot. They were evidently very well satisfied with their happy home tor they did not stray but a few yards and war* easily brought back. The horse which la the personal property of Mr. Clay wa* found later In the day In front of the Methodist charcb. He had evidently been ridden as marks ot the caddie were plainly reen oh him. The bouse of Mrs. D. C. Blanton who live* next door was also entered and her horse turned loose, hut so far a* can be ascertained the bouse itself was not entered. The Marsh al brought hla dog* over there about nine o’clock and found tracks, appar ently of several men but tbe dogs were unable to give any satisfactory trail, possibly on account nf the lapse of time after the burglary and the fact that there had been many track* there to mix them In their sceZt Mr. Editor; In my communication In Sunday morning’s paper about the City Hoc jital, the word "pilfered" wa* chang ed to "preferred."
