TX 18 ! GASE 10 GROW ABBD! One of the specially interesting eases at §he police court on Thursday last was ~the ease of the rooster, \hoz Chinaman and Mr. Assad of Schumâ€" acher. Mr. J. E. Cook appeared for the rooster or for the Chinaman, and he claims now that ty rooster was| i’mprupcrly charged â€" with bigamy. | * lesson in this case seeins to be,"‘ says Mr. Cook, ‘‘that an old fellow should stay at home and not be running around with the chickens in neighboring places."‘ On the comâ€" plaint of Mr. Assad, Constable l\':l.\'-{ | eroft placed the rooster under arrest at the Chinaman‘s place. Mr. Assad said the rooster was his, and the China man said it was his own rooster. In court the lady from whom Mr. Assad bought a rooster swore that this was the same rooster, as she knew it well and would know it anywhere. _ The Chinaman said it was his rooster and he had had it for months and surely ue knew his won rooster. Mr. Cook eould not see how anyone could tell one rooster from another. **Are you even sure it is a rooster?"" he asked I ean hardly tell one chicken from another any more,"‘ said Mr. €ook, ‘‘and as for for old hens, why they all look alike to me."‘ €€This is getting too technical,""‘ says Magisâ€" trate Atkinson, and he dismissed the ease against the Chinaman and the Rooster. ‘®Take the rooster and the Chinaman and Mr. Cook to the Diviâ€" sion Court to settle any dispute about the ownership of the bird,"‘ advised the Magistrate. Provincial Officer Ackroyd had Mrs. F. Cook before the court charged with being. intoxicated in a public place. The fine was $10 and eosts. ‘The case Rooster Iimot probabl« nf regovery. lar to that o against Mrs. Cook for obtaiming monâ€" ey under false pretences was remandâ€" ed for a week, with the likelihood of the matter being settled in the meanâ€" time. â€" The Provincial Officer also had F.

H{omeluk, chargéed by Cinet" Clark with idleness was fined $50 and costs and advised to go to work. Annie Makenski, an Austrian woâ€" man, was sentenced to a sixâ€"month term for prostitution. Mike Makenski and Geo. Meneluke, more Austrians, were each fined $10 and costs for being drunk. *‘‘*If you people do not behave better,""‘ sugâ€" gested the Magistrate, ‘‘you will be all shipped to the internment eamp."‘ ‘‘But, Judge, what would ns vsor lawyers do then?"" asked Solicitor Cook. ‘*You would have to find reâ€" gular and useful oceupation, L supâ€" pose,"" suggested the Magistrate. Mais.

Atter ed work, he saird behind himn and shouted a warni story was that Nusea had kicked him in'passin;: and that hbe had responded by giving Nusca a ‘"*playfal tap‘‘ in the tace. â€"After MeMaster had resumâ€" ed work, he said, Nusea had come up behind him and just as some one had shouted a warning he was hit on the i by a piece of stcel wielded by Nusea. â€" Mr. Herod and Mr. Sheppard, who were with Nuses at the time were the other witnesses for the prosecuâ€" tion. â€" Their evidence was to the effect that Nusea had simply pushed MeMasâ€" fter with his boot, in fun they thought. MeMaster bad then hit Nusea, rather hard they thought, and followed him up as if to strike hm again. _ After backing away about eight feet Nusca had picked up the steel and struck MeMaster.

Chief Clark took three travelling Hebrew gentlemen in charge tlus week on the understanding that they had been selling goods in town without the necessary lieense.

They were before Justice of the Peace Montgomery on Monday and the case was adjourned to come before Atkinson. Mr. J. WV.

[t will be remembered that about a year ago the Department of Mines listened to the voices of some oracles who suggested that an extension of time be allowed for the assessment work on all claims then staked. ‘The Department in making this provision honestly believed it was doing some~â€" thing great for the poor, downâ€"trodden prospector. ‘The ordinary prospector, however, differed from this view. ‘Anâ€" deed, in the most of eases, he eursed ‘ the Government for pretending to give ilnm something big, when in faet it was ‘of' no benefit to him. In some cases the prospector lost by the provision 1!01 extended time as it allowed speeuâ€" Mlators and others to hold elaims withâ€" out even having to employ men for the: | required assessment work. ‘The ~\n-, | diceates and speculators found the exâ€" tension of time provision, however, an excellent thing for them. For instance, one syndicate with well over 200 claims staked during the winter had lall those claims an extra year withâ€" out the neeessity of assessment work. It is easy to see where the extension ilof time would help them, while the venuine working prospector had to look after his claims for the year, knowing that to neglect them that | } ,\on meant a double burden the follâ€" -.___â€"_.._-__â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"-â€"-â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"-_-â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"..â€"â€"â€"vâ€"_â€"_ owing year. â€" He was not in the wholeâ€" sale business, so he had to wateh his work.

THE AUSTRIAN WAY Last week an Austrian had Ins wife and â€" another â€" man _ arrested, â€" and brought back from North Bay on a charge of theft. _ When the male prisâ€" oner returned here there were several ready to bail him out at onee, but no one bothered with the woman. As a consequence of this Austrian attitude, the man aceused is now out on bail, while the woman and her threeâ€"yearâ€" old boy are still in eustody to await trial. The police say that this is the common Austrian attitude. If a man gets into jail seores of his fellows will be hustling round to get him out at once, tbut if it is a woman that is arâ€" rested, weoll, *‘*she‘s only a woman, and no imatter.‘" The only exceeption to this rule is when the woman hapâ€" pens to be engaged in blindpigging or common immorality. In these eases 'su(-h a woman will have friends enâ€" ough among her fellow Austrians who may fear what she may tell about them.
