The Disappearance! of Olaf Hagren Excites Anxiens Friends An Arrest Ar-rest for Violating the Hnnday OrdinanceAn Or-dinanceAn Alleged Fraud in Jail Irrepressible Annie in Court The Case of David Kerr Police Pickings and Pointers. F. Sandolin, the Italian fruit vendor who holds fotrh in the old Tribune building on AVcst Temple street, reported to the police this morning that a purse, containing 145, had mysteriously disappeared from his cash drawer some time during the twelve hours between 9 o'clock last night and 9 o'clock this morning. In the the drawer there was $2 in change and another purse containing money, but neither was touched. He claims that he left his store for a few minutes only this morning and on returning discovered his loss. It has all the earmarks of a pe- ; culiar case. Where Is Olaf? The Swedish colony is mystified over the disappearance of Olaf Hagen, for some time past a dispenser of beverages in Schade's saloon. sa-loon. He and a companion named Hans went off together several days ago and have not been seen since. Olaf's integrity is. not questioned, but as he left a charming wife behind him the quidnuncs are bothering their gray matter for a cause for his summary sum-mary departure. An Alleged Fraud In .Tail. August A. Renting, the alleged fraud, whose experiences in this city have been detailed de-tailed in The Times, was arrested this morning morn-ing for impersonating an officer. His mind is evidently unhinged, for no sane man would be guilty of the bad breaks he is constantly con-stantly making. A Ring Recoverd. Captain Donovan this morning recovered a seven-stone diamond ring from a pawnshop which John O'Connell, a Montanan, claims he was relieved of two weeks ago by a nymph whose virginity has been badly wrecked in her battle with the world. ' THE IRREPRESSIBLE ANNIE. She Made Life m Harden to Kesler, J., Today. The threatening aspect of the weather had a pronounced effect on the usually sunny temperament of Kesler, J., this morning, for from the time he began to warm his judicial chair he was business, strictly business, and the habitues and attaches of the court missed those brilliant flashes of wit the court emits when his disposition is of a cherry, hail-fellow-well-met nature. As a consequence those in the audience conversed in hushed tones, and the court attaches at-taches sawed wood and wandered about ou tip-toes. - THE IRREPRESSIBLE ANXIE. Annie Douglas, a denizen of Franklin avenue, ave-nue, was arraigned on a charge of prostitution. prostitu-tion. She demanded that the complaint be read to her so she could thoroughly understand under-stand the case and consult her attorney. "Judge," said the colored belle, "I was arrested ar-rested for robbery ; I don't know anything about prostitution. Prostitutes are arrested every three months, and I have just paid a fine." "Well," said Assistant County Attorney Eichnor, "that is a case which she will have to bargain with Coad about. I only take part in the robbery case." "Not much," hastily interjected . Coad, "she can't bargain with me." Eichnor theu explained that unless a complaining com-plaining witness appeared the case of robbery rob-bery would be dropped. Then ye gentle Annie regaled the court with her troubles, real or imaginary, and declared de-clared that she proposed to have justice; that the police could not drive her away, and that she proposed to be treated on the same plane of equality as her more fortunate fortu-nate sisters in sin. She then entered a plea of not guilty to the charjre of prostitution, which will be beard tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, and as she flounced out of court Attorney Coad exclaimed, with a sigh of relief, "Gracious me! she. is well named the irrepressible." THE CASE OF DAVID KERR. David Kerr, accused of obtaining goods under false pretenses, a Payson boy born and raised, was arraigned. He is a married man with a family of five, owns a home in Nephi, and is the possessor of eighty acres of land near Lehi. When questioned he, denied de-nied that he offered au oflieer $500, and his farm to an attorney, if they could get him out of the scrape. He also denied that he told Hy Rippe, when he ordered seven canvas wagon covers, that he had bought a sawmill. Rippe stated that he had so informed him, and had ordered the goods shipped to D. H. Conley at Pleasant A'alley Junction. W. L. Pickard, jr., also stated that he ordered goods for shipment to Pleasant valley. As the case was a trivial one, Assistant County Attorney Eichnor suggested that as the merchants were satisfied to get their goods back, it- would be just as well to dismiss dis-miss the case. The attorney also stated that there was no doubt but Kerr was not in his right senses, and the unfortunate acknowledged that when under the influence of liquor his mind was enveloped in a clotld, and that it was for the purpose of entering the Keelcy in- ' stitute he came to this city. He was also, at times, addicted to drinking alcohol, and had often drank a pint of alcohol without its producing any noticeable effect. Kerr declared that he would make all claims against him good, and on this representation repre-sentation an order of dismissal was entered, with the understanding that the case would be reopened should he fail to make his promises good. SHORT ORDERS. Barney Riley was assessed $5 for getting drunk. Three little cherubs from the dominion of the Mikado each forfeited $25 as prostitutes. J. R. Garrey, James Jenkins and Carl Svenson, decent inebriates, each forfeited 5. In the case af AV. H. Allen a charge of dis. turbing the peace was dismissed and a tax of $5 levied for getting drunk. Tim McCarthv acknowledged that hp vl-hh guilty of drunkenness and disturbing the peace. He is a Park City miner and promised to return to his work if sentence was suspended. It was so ordered. Police I'ointer. Barn stormcrs are said to be plentiful in Zion and the police intend to prosecute tho gentry for vagrancy. The scarlet women of Franklin avenue have been officially notified that their room there is better than their company. Sergeant Eslingcr yesterday in City Creek canyon killed a rattlesnake which had eleven rattles and a button. And this is not a good year for snakes cither. The police have been deorived of their one day of rest in thirty. Janney gave it to them, but the powers that be have decided that it is time thrown away. Annie Douglas, a colored wench who is an expert thief, robbed a visitor to her den on Franklin avenue last night of $20. As the victim cannot be found it is more than probable that she will go unwhipped of justice. jus-tice. , . , I |
