Jerry GORMAN who knocked out barber HAUCK last Sunday made his bow before JusticeSAUER on Monday morning. He will be looking for a job about the first of April, untilthen he can be found at Hotel DELLES.

“Bill the Barber” caught poor Charley PAGE with a swift upper cut last Monday infront of the Wilson, and the darkey's back remained glued to the sidewalk until hewas counted out. Justice SAUER's court was near and so was Sheriff DELLES and alladjourned to the basement where Mr. SAUER deals out justice at so much per deal,and this deal cost Bill $11.45. Next time he'll pass.

Last Sunday “Hobo Bill” tried to ‘snatch bald-headed’ the white haired lighteningjerker from the depot. Bill then skipped from town in such a hurry that he forgotto bid the officers good bye, and they still hold a small bit of paper which theywould like to read to him.

Another young man who was mixed up in this same affair was put under bonds to keepthe peace.
