Show THIEDE'S TRIBULATIONS. Judge Lanoy and a Jury Bead Him a Very Kxpi-nalvo LrHHnn. Charles Thiedo, the proprietor- of a rustic gin mill through which tho denizens deni-zens of the southern suburbs are 'jup-plied 'jup-plied with bitters and rare old benzine, was dragged up before Judge Laney and a jury late yesterday afternoon and as the clock in tho tower struck six, was presented with a bill for $0 and costs. Notice of appeal was given but up to tho hour of going to press the appeal ap-peal bond had failed to materialize and tho judgment still hangs over his head. Tho caso, as was errroncously conceived con-ceived by local venders of tho ardent, was not brought up as a test issue, but was confined simply to Thiedo's Offense. It was alleged that the defendant kept a house that at times reverberated with such hilarity as to render it a nuisance ' and that on the particular Sunday in question it had been the scene of a genuine, old orthodox pandemonium. Thiede testiliied that at the time a crowd of drunken men reeled into his joint and forced him to wait on them, but the jury didn't seem to relish the cnleibility of the defendant's story and hung him up for lii'ty aud trimmings. |
