He raised a disturbance at Grant Goodman's place on Market street and broke out several panes of glass. Marshal Gibbs immediately took charge of Mr. Riley and put him in the city sweat box. On Saturday afternoon he was arraigned before Police Judge GOSS and plead guilty to being drunk and disorderly for which he was assessed $15.00. Not being able to pay the fine Mr. Riley had to again invade the dark interior of our bat cave. Tuesday the marshal brought him out to work on the streets. He worked like one used to a similar job until he reached the corner south of the Journal building when the marshal stepped aside in hopes he would make his exit, and he did. He went at a lively gate as far as he could be seen.--Thus the city rid itself of a bum whose feed would have cost more than the work he could have done. It is now in order for marshal GIBBS to write a book on "The Thrilling Escape of Jam! es Riley." Last night a number of F.D. ADAMS' gentlemen friends gave him a farewell reception at the residence of G.C. WUTTKE. A splendid time was enjoyed by all and the speeches, toasts and eulogies were indeed entertaining and edifying. A man giving his name as Leon STARR stopped in LaCygne last Thursday night and endeavored to give a spiritualistic seance to an invited crowd at the Sinclair House. He proved to be a fraud of the worst kind, and it is a question in a great many minds whether or not he was the Leon Starr he assumed to be. Last Monday we had the pleasure of visiting the chicken yards of J.T. GOSS and it was a real pleasure. We saw the $150 trio of chickens, and they are fine ones. The breed is Buff Wyandottes and for beautiful plumage and gracefulness there is nothing beats them. In fact the hen is the best of her kind in the United States, having taken first honors both at the New York and Boston poultry shows. Everyone should inspect these fine birds as they are something very fine.
