In progress before Justice Thorington, as we go to press. Police Court. Mollie Hill, or Mollie Wilson, which you please, a notorious person of the female persuasion, taken up yesterday for being drunk and disorderly, was up before Justice Peters. Case is in progress as we go to press. Jan 14, 1872 A Chawing Business. James Horath and John Wilhelmson got into a row today. James got drunk, and they had a squabble. Horath got Wilhelmson's finger between his teeth, and chawed it unmercifully-so badly that it is feared he will lose it. Wilhelmson this afternoon swore out a warrant before Justice Thorington, placed it in the hands of Constable Wunderlich, and now, perhaps Horath is in limbo. Wilhelmson is a butcher-firm of Wilhemson & Nargang. Horath was formerly a resident of this city, but now lives in Rock Island. Police Court. Chas. Bancroft was arrested this morning for vagrancy, lying about in the streets, without any visible lawful means of support. Justice Peters fined him $5 and costs, which being unable to pay, he was sent up.
