RECKLESS DRIVING

Yesterday evening CHARLES PADELFORD, who drives an express wagon, came near running over a woman at the Seventh street crossing on Hampshire Street. The fact was reported to Capt. Sliney and Padelford was arrested and charged with reckless driving. Many of the drivers of both hacks and express wagons are too careless in driving across street cossings, and an example should be made of some of them.

POLICE COURT

The prisoners' bench was well filled yesterday moprning. Justice Wallin seems to have turned over a new leaf, for on yesterday morning he assessed fines that are more apt to convince peace disturbers that it don't pay to get drunk and raise a disturbance.
C.C. Watson got full of levee whisky and made himself "too numerous to mention." For the fun he had he was asked to pay $25 and costs, and as he had spent all of his money for drink he was compelled to accept a position in the city's quarry, where he will work until he earns $26.50 at $1 per day.
William Lahan, another peace disturber, was fined a like amount, and went to the rockpile with Watson, to keep the latter from being lonesome.
CHARLES PADELFORD was also charged with disturbing the peace, but the charge should have been interfering with an officer. It appears that William and CHARLED PADELFORD were among the excursionist on the steamer Co. Patterson on Wednesday evening. They got into trouble on the boat, which was renewed after the parties left the boat. Constable Tom Harvey was present and arrested William Fees. PADELFORD interfered, and the result was that Fees escaped and PADELFORD was arrested and taken to the station. He was fined $25 and costs.
