And soon, with colors flyln'. Ho left his pals and sailed down slreoL Contesting tho walk with thoso he'd moot. Until a cop espied him. Who locked In a cell the Swedish sport, That ho might appear before tho court Of Dlehl, who tried him. "I admit that my drunk," said thc erring Potcr. "Could hardly havo been moro full or comnloter. But roniorsc I feel." And as this was tho Swede's first similar offense, Ho was lectured and told that he might go hence. By Judge Dlehl. 4 John A. Lamport's attorney admitted that tho circumstance of his client's having hav-ing boon discovered by an officer at 5 o'clock In thc morning lugging on thu street $2S worth of now copper wire.
