BULGER, BUST, CAVANAUGH, GREEN, HINES, HUGHES, HUNT, JONES, LARKEN, LEMASUEY, MAHER, MANAGHAN, McCANN, MILLER, MITCHELL, MURRY, NERO, SEGLEMAN, WALLACE, WELSH "The Kansas City Daily Times" (Missouri) Tuesday, January 23, 1872 POLICE PICKINGS. "Fat pickings this morning Mr. Times," said the august spirit of the judicial department of the Recorder's Court, yesterday morning. A glance over the group of sorry, red-eyed individuals satisfied the reporter that the remark of his "honor" was correct. NINE PENITENTS PLEADED GUILTY to an unlawful state of intoxication, all on a Sunday afternoon. John BUST got on a bust on Saturday night because his wife insisted upon his attending the revival every night. He said he was willing to be locked up every night to escape the zeal of his lady. He paid $5.75. Ed MURRY, Charlie GREEN, Charles WELSH, Billy LEMASUEY and Chas. H. SEGLEMAN WENT OUT UPON A SPREE, and after putting themselves upon the outside of a liberal amount of forty rod, all landed in the calaboose. They joyously plead guilty, hastily paid their fines and departed. NERO AND THE IRISH GIANT, Pat McCANN, met in mortal affray on Saturday night. NERO put Pat's peepers in mourning, while his own proboscis was bitten in twain by the ivories of the giant. Officer HUNT, who was hunting near by, brought each of the combatants to bay. 'Squire GROVER charged each $9.75 and bade them depart in peace. Dick JONES is A RANTING, ROLLICKING CUSS, from the cattle grazing grounds of the Rio Grande. He arrived in town from Newton a few days ago, and proceeded to the shanty of Maggie MANAGHAN, residing in the alley in the rear of the St. Nicholas. Dick, though slightly colored and bronzed by nature, attempted to make forcible love to the aforesaid Maggie, thereby disturbing her peace to the amount of five dollars and seventy-five cents. THE SIAMESE TWINS, otherwise known as Nicholas and Jimmy MAHER, went out riding on Sunday afternoon, but being unused to the superabundant pleasure of a fast drive upon the Boulevard, became unsteady in their manipulations of the reins of their fast team. They were arrested for fast driving and caged. They gave bonds for their appearance, which cost them nothing, the Recorder refusing to see where the two young gents had broken the laws. MILLER's saloon, in West Kansas City, was the scene of A BLOODY RENCONTRE between a man named HUGHES and a brakesman named LARKIN. Officer BULGER arrested HUGHES and handed him over to Officer CAVANAUGH with instructions to take him to the Police Court. While on the way to the calaboose HUGHES turned suddenly and KNOCKED THE POLICEMAN DOWN and escaped. CAVANAUGH was found soon afterwards in a senseless and bleeding condition, and taken home, his head having been smashed in by a rock in the hands of HUGHES. After escaping the police, HUGHES procured a shot-gun and proceeded to where his wife was attending a dance, AND ATTEMPTED TO SHOOT HER. He was driven away from the house and disappeared. The police are upon the lookout for him. He is said to be an employee on the Fort Scott Railroad. A man named H. W. MITCHELL was arrested last evening by Officer HINES for CONDUCT UNBECOMING A GENTLEMAN, inasmuch as he, the arrested party, had insulted Mrs. WALLACE by calling her hard names and thereby injuring her feelings and sensibilities. MITCHELL languisheth. ====================================================== (I have no connection with any of these families but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ====================================================== neirbo10 ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to OLD-MISSOURI-NEWSPAPERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
