Saturday night drunks nnd Sunday lights had brought forth considerable work for the po lice, and as a result there faced tho recorder at noon yesterday a motley crew of humanity, charged with div ers offenses against the peace and dignity of the municipality. Tho re corder grasped the flail with a finn iiand and waded into the held of sin fulness, whitening unto the harvest. Tl?,e net result of tho threshing bee was several souls consigned to thc rock pilt, the addition of u goodly number of ducats to the city cotters and Hie dismissal of some witli sus pended sentences hanging over their heads like Hie sword of Damocles. Dy far the most "sensational" case brought before thc recorder was ono originating down in Coinville, in volving a half-dozen or more sons c Ham. The bunch were charged with disorderly conduct, which is a mis nomer. They should have been charg ed with imitating the Allies and the powers of the Dual Alliance In th<3 drama which ls now being staged In Europe.

The star witness In the case was an old negro woman, and in her testimony she not only relat ed by word of mouth what had oc cured, but acted the several parts of the participants. All day Friday the noise of battle rolled, and far into the night there arose the sound of molars gnashing upon molars, rocks glancing oe the craniums of the combatants, the whacking of sticks and poles up on strong, black hacks and much bel lowing, like that of a herd of .oxen goring one another to the death. Saturday's dawn broke cold and cloudy and In the early light the host of battle were gathered again for HIP Dark Continent measured strength witt? ous another. There vere cha-'ges and counter charges, rushing of trenches where tho enemy_.waA. .e.tU.. coned, and showering,of rocks upon the positions of each other. A dram tic moment In the carnival was when ono burly black wielded a long pole nnd smote the ring leader of the op position moat sorely, tumbling him into a deep ditch. The battle of tho blacks was ended when a corps ot policemen surprised tuon* and march ed them to the police st ut ion. George Garner, Fred Smith, Ves Dlnckwell were fined $5 or 10 days each, while the charges against Ves Dean and Hub Burnes were dismissed. OGier cases disposed of by tho re corder were as follows: W.
