' No Liquor Caaea Were Before the Court Today. Mr. Van Hoy Acting Recorder. Only two eases were tried in the Police Court this morning and these were two white boys charged with pe tit larceny committed sometime in August, when they took some rubber goods from a Mr. garnet's junk shop. Luther Underwood snd Arthur Freere aged 20 and 16, were the defendants, and they were allimed, on' the reeoni-, mendation of the city ' attorney, to plead guilty of forcible trespass and judgement was suspended upon the payment of the costs and the bovs are required to appear and show good behavior and to go to work and not to leave home except by the consent of their parents. The other defendant, William Goodman, a colored boy, onlv 13 years of age, was eharsred with taking a horse for temporary use. He was sent to Mr. J. Leonard Brown to hire a horse, but took the horse without permission. Under the probation law it 'is found that there is prohibition placed upon the usual punishment for boys under IS years of age, and the court suspended judgement in this case upon the payment of costs, pro vided that the lather of this boy pun ish him in the presence of the court. It was observed bv City Attorney Caldwell that this was the first Mon day court for some time, in which no cases were tried that could be attrib utable to liquor. It is thought that the victory so far won over Riv-i-eo accounts for this to some extent. In the absence of Justice Palmer, who is on his vacation, Attorney J. W. Van Hoy was sworn in by Mayor Tsenhour to serve as temporary Jus tice of the police court.
