Quite a little merriment was caus ed In the city s police court yesterday . morning by ', the . evi dence . in the caae . of I- ' Lee Davenport ' colored, who ' was charged with being drank and disor derly.

He followed the parade to the ahow ground, secured aome bug-Juice from someone 'and proceeded to tank up before returning home through the city, The boose did the work. Hla trio back to In dependence Square was a novel ty in this . section of the , coun try, i Lee , Imagined ' his , t , little mule , a bucking broncho, htm self a whole procetmlonof wild West ern cowboys, snd Charlotte a 'village of the prairies. And he was not dis illusioned until his broncho hit the square, where a squad ot policemen were congratulating themselves upon the quietness of circus dey. A special pollcoman first espied the approaching .desperado,, who -was shouting and gesticulating like a wild man ' from v Borneo. The copper thought at once that John Robinson' wild man had enacped and he blew hla whistle ahrllly. v The blue-coata began to gather from all section, knowing that something serious was the matter. - As Lee got on Independ ence tablet he was surrounded,, but he kicked bis spurs into the flanks of his rauley steed and, with a whoop, broke through. The patrolmen fol lowed closely. : The streets 'Were crowded and Lee decided that he had best dismount and escape on foot, having by this time realised that he was only Lee Davenport a Mecklen burg farm hand, that hla mount was only hi little mouse-colored mule and that Charlotte waa the Queen City and not a prairie village. . When Lee ' dlemounted, bow ever. he dropped his candy,' The police caught the mule and worried no more about the negro, knowing that he would come back for the ani mal. And so he did, and waa locked up until yesterday morning, when the case waa reviewed before the re corder. - Lee was fined 110 and warn ed to be more careful of the brand of sow-paw he Indulged In hereafter. John white was another negro who had been careless In selecting his re freshments, He had been extremely disorderly. The recorder placed the damages at ItO, but John-could not aome across with the dough and he will have to arrange with Capt H. C. Little to work it out oa the gang. Will Orler had ben too careless In riding his wheel. He wss assessed and the costs. Alec Cureton. who had been charg ed with pocket-plcklng, waa discharg ed, the evidence agalnat htm being too wobbly to stand. , wHO WILL SUCCEED DR. M'fVKR? Sentiment Favoring Mr. . Y.
