Lawyers Peyton and Ricks made a lengthy fight in the Police Court this morning for John Essex, their colored client, who was charged with carrying a revolver Fannie Wheeler, a colored woman who lives on Sth street extended, seemed to have caused all the trouble. Richard Queen was her hus- band by proxy and Essex was at the house Sat- urday night when Queen returned home. They had some trouble and Essex drew a revolver and threatened to use it. Fannie separated them and then Essex threatened to shoot through the window. “Was Essex courting you?” asked counsel of Fannie. indeed,” she replied. “I done been co'ted. The defense produced a toy pistol, which it was claimed Essex had on the night in ques- tion. The witnesses who had given evidence against Essex were unable to tell whether the toy pistol was the weapon he had or not, but a little girl named Gertie Hall «wore that it was not. She said he had shown her the pistol earlier in the evening and there were ballets init. Counsel argued the case, but the court held Essex guilty and fined him $50 or ninety days. CAN'T FIND THE POODLE. Chas. Thomas was called to answer a charge of fighting dogs, but he failed to answer and his $5 collateral was forfeited. Charlie caused ome excitement in Lewis’ alley southeast some days ago by setting a bulldog and a poodle to fighting.
