Show POLICE COURT. His Honor Oeta Kven With An Impostor by Sending Him I p. "John McGlory," remarked he of tho ermine this morning, "you are here charged with impersonating an officer. It is useless for you lo deny the charge for the offense was perpetrated upon the court. You camo to the residence where tho supremo justice of this tribunal tri-bunal is wont to eat, sleep and pare his corns, and announced that you were an oflicial census taker of this governmet. You asked tho kitchen maid how old she is, aud whether she ever had a crick in her back and whether she padded pad-ded her calves with sawdust or cotton batting. You then demanded that she give you a grubstake hand-out and vowed to send her name in to the president presi-dent as that of a cross-eyed woman of 62, in case she failed to accede to your demands. I don't know how far you would have gone had not this court liappened in about that timo. I shall fine you $25 aud send you up for twen-ty-livo days. At the expiration of that time your little racket will be played out. "William Henry St. George, whilo it pains mo to do so, 1 shall be obliged to put the clamps on you for about $30 worth. You came here last night and got uproariously funny. We like jovial people down here and are willing to encourage en-courage them, but when they get so idiotically jolly as to want to bet their clothing against two-bits that Ogden has three times as manv people as Zion, and that it ships 2,000,000 bushels of alfalfa seed per year, it is time to call a halt. "Court will now adjourn for a session with a shortcake at home." |
