Show , . HIS HONOR'S DECISIONS. The Result of the Trials or this Morning's Term of Court. ' It was evident from the expression of his honor's face this moruiug that something some-thing was going to happen. "Sergeant," he remarked, "let down tho bars and permit the herd to enter. Ah there, my daisies, are you ready for trial? You arc! Well' then, list to the words of wisdom and jurisprudence which I will now fling at you in large moist gobs." ' "James Holland, I am credibly informed in-formed that you last night attempted to hoist the green flag of old, Erin over the Tabernacle ' under the impression im-pression 'that you "had just "captured the house of lords. You were .also noticed pocriug through tho unfinished rooms of tho temple in a search for Balfour, whom you vowed to kill. This is no home rule outfit, aud such conduct as you indulged in is scandalous, you can leave $5 with tho clerk as a memento me-mento of your visit." James Murphy, at 10:30 o'clock 'last night you were discovered in the act of attempting to remove your surplus whisker with a piece of hoop-irou. This is a violation of the statute and also of the ordinance. .You will also chip $5." "Leviticus C. Noyes, you stand in tho presence of this court charged with the heinous crime of attempting to extinguish extin-guish the lamp of life which illuminates the soft ga.clle-Jike eyes .of Miss Daisy Douglas, your sweetheart. . Forgetful of the promise you made when you made your appeal to her and asked her to at least be a sister to you, you went so far as to assault her willi a cloths-wringer. cloths-wringer. For shame. But for that act you might have been happy in the consciousness of knowing that ono heart beat in uuison with yours. In the brilliant aurora borcalis of the future I cnu see a fading picture of a happy home with you and Daisy hi the foreground. But as I gaze a clothes wringer appears and tho once bright vision vanishes. A man who would thus sacrifice his own interests deserves punishment. Ten dollars or ten days in the pit." "This court will now take the train for Utah lake, where for six hours it will fish for the gamy mountain trout." |
