Show Dope From the Police Court I Rocking gently with thc waves of timo, thc ship "Justice" of the city polico court line came into the dock Saturday forenoon at 10 o'clock, not a minute ahead of timo or a minute behind hand. Judge C. B. Dichl, thc well known commander of thc boat, with his hair parted in the middle, stood quietly on the main deck near thc stern until deckhands had drawn the boat up to the wharf and cast a hawser haw-ser to tho pier. For a day when the boat does not take such a long trip as on other week days, there had been a good number of rescues by thc ship's officers. Martin Murphy, who has a brogue which makes his voice roll like thunder over a distant hill, was the first named called bv tho ship's scribe. George Guteh. Murphy stood erect and took a $5 fiuc. which he paid, for being drunk. In a barber's "next cent" voice, the scribe called John Sullivan, who had quite a long conversation Friday afternoon after-noon with John Barleycorn, and the latter lat-ter had got so much the better of the meeting that Sullivan was making an attempt to get more money to purchase stimulants so to keep up the argument by attempting to eoII 6ome cheap jew-cln. jew-cln. Ship's officer Kelly came along about that time, and knowing that it was breaking the laws of thc "high seas" of Salt Lake to peddle without a license., he called thc two-horse tender, ten-der, "Black Maria," and took Sullivan to tho ship's hold. When brought before be-fore his honor on thc main deck Sntur-du.y Sntur-du.y forenoon, Sullivan was chaigcd with "being drunk and violating Lho license li-cense ordinance. Thc drunk charge was dismissed, but for the latter ofrenso ho will mop the lower decks and nsaist in road work ashore for a period of fifteen days. Officer Phillips, who patrols thc beach down by the Oregon Short Lino depot, has bch watching a l.rio for a period of ten days, who appeared to him as worthless characters, they haug-inc haug-inc around saloons and pool rooms, so the man in blue took them in Frday night and put them down below. They gave the names of Will Clark, Arvil Wimpy and Will Groomcs. Commnn.Ior Diehl was half inclined Lo give them a torm in tho ship's hold, but on second thought, decided the community at large would be better off if tho men were ordered from the city. The trio promised prom-ised to take passage diroctly for another an-other port, and with that understanding understand-ing they were rcknsed. Arthur Brown and Earl Blackett, two sailor of usually steady habits, got into an argument shortly after midnight Thursday, and came to blows. What, the argumenl was over the court did not learn, but it was something abont as sensible :is "Why does a chicken cross the road?" Tho gate, receipts at tho fight will not pay the lines ol .lO each which were imposed. A, Webb and John James, the latter claiming no relationship to. tho noted Jesse James, were caught violating the license ordinance by peddling ..cheap j jewelry, and ns a result they will help John Sullivan in the work below decks for half a month. w Joe Bayno was thc next in line, and Scribo Giitch awoke him from a spell of solitude which ho had entered into bv sharply calling his name. Joe, who looks to be u good sort of fellow, but one who bends his elbow too much, was found guilty of being drunk and released, re-leased, There is a case ponding before his honor of one Henry Bates, who was ar- J rested a few days ago on the charge of petit larceny, which is was decided to continuo for trial on several accounts. ac-counts. Tho portholes were closed and tho hatches battened down, with tho exception ex-ception of thc 0110 left for receiving shipwrecked sailors over Sunday, and the decks washed and everything put in order for thc ship to lay at anchor until Monday, the two-horse tender, "Black Maria," doing patrol duty and being kept in readiness at all times to go out to bring in those that may be picked up b3r the bluecoats patrolling the coast. |
