City Summary: Grip must go. The city council meets to-night. But three arrests were slated yesterday. The council are getting ready for their jaunt to Denver. Andrew LEEPER was not fined for intoxication yesterday. There were twenty-one cases in the police court yesterday. John ESS was fined $15.50 yesterday for disturbing the peace. Teos. MEEKS was fined yesterday for carrying concealed weapons. Wm. JOHNSON was fined $6 yesterday for leaving his horse unhitched on the street. Dr. FEE is daily becoming more earnest and determined in his crusade against filth. It seems that the colored population will possibly get recognition in the fire department. Jacob ROSE, who whipped a man 100 feet up in the air, was given a mild $6 fine yesterday. Travel is increasing largely, judging from the immense crowds that daily throng the Union depot. The historical Mormon ANN was before his honor yesterday morning for disturbing the peace, but was discharged. Wm. CATON was up before the recorder yesterday for disturbing the peace, and being found not guilty was discharged. The A. O. H., No. 2, of West Kansas City, will give a picnic at Merriam park on the 27th inst. Two trains will run hourly. Judge James RAYBURN, father of J. M. RAYBURN and Mrs. J. B. STROUGH of this city, died at Bloomington, Ill., on the 17th inst. James LARIE's little 10-year-old boy was run over yesterday on Liberty street, West Kansas City, by a farmer's wagon, and had his right thigh broken. The largest of yesterday's warranty deeds was a transfer from George D. SHERWIN and wife to S. M. FORD for $2,500, of two lots at Fifteenth street and Baltimore avenue. Otto BAES was found guilty of petit larceny yesterday by Justice RANSON, and as he did not have the money to pay a fine of $37.50 he now languishes in the Second street jail. The following transgressors went to the Bridewell yesterday: John CAPHENS, Pat GLENN, M. SULLIVAN, T. MEEKS, Dennis LONG, Peter JENSEN, Chas. HURNKLE and Bartley HARRINGTON. James HUCKLE was sitting on a load of ties driving on Wyoming street, West Kansas City, yesterday morning, when the binding pole broke and threw HUCKLE from his seat. A large number of ties fell on him, breaking three ribs. An inventory of the stock accounts and other property of the bankrupt grocer, Geo. BARRETT, was filed in the circuit clerk's office yesterday by J. W. STRAYER, the assignee. An appraisement is now being made and will also be filed. A woman from the home for the friendless in Denver, arrived yesterday, and immediately applied to Depot Master ROGERS for transportation to New York. She is sans money, sans friends, and will probably call on the mayor for assistance. Joseph BROOKS and Miss Alice CROWDER were yesterday licensed to marry. The license of Mr. John S. MUIR, a prominent citizen of Washington township, to Mrs. A. B. MORRIS, a well-known lady of the same township, was returned yesterday. Leslie DAY was arraigned before Justice JONES yesterday on a charge of stealing $12.50 worth of books from Ben DEERING, the prolific newspaper starter. DAY was held for trial this morning at 10 o'clock and committed in default of $500 bail. The following plain drunks were fined yesterday: John HAYES, John CAPHENS, Charles WILSON, Pat GLENN, Mike SULLIVAN, Thos. WREN, Christopher LYONS, Dennis LONG, Peter JENSEN, C. J. LONDSTROM, Chas. HUNKLE, Jack LAYDAY and S. H. WILLIAMS. Officer FAIRFIELD had a desperate struggle with a plain drunk in West Kansas yesterday. The victim of "booze" was averse to being taken to the police station and made a stubborn resistance. He was brought up on a dray, and will answer to drunkenness and resisting an officer. Thursday morning's Union Pacific train left Denver five minutes late, being detained by awaiting trains. When at Russell, a distance of 376 miles from Denver, the train arrived on time, having made the run at the rate of about forty-six miles an hour from the time of pulling out from the Denver depot. The boys who were arrested for running away with the rigs of Drury UNDERWOOD and Thomas HUGHES were discharged in Justice BACON's court yesterday, the prosecuting attorney dismissing the case, as it seemed evident that the affair was only a drunken frolic and that there were no intention to steal the horses. One of the boys, however, James DUKE, was at once rearrested on a charge of displaying a deadly weapon on the occasion of the frolic. He pleaded guilty and was fined $15 and costs, in default of which he again went to jail. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these people but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) ======================================================
