Zeph Hughe ha found that perUtency
wins lta own reward. Ha haa returned to
hi home In thla city after making- hia
fourth escape from the hospital for chronlo
Inebriates at Mount Pleasant, to which In
stitution he was committed under order of
court for a term of two years. The place
was not to Hughe' liking and as often as
he waa taken there he escaped. The con
veyance of Hushes to the hospital haa cost
the county to date over 1150 and the county
authorities have finally decided that the
trot la not worth the candle. Yesterday
word was sent to Hughes that hs would not
be molested so long as he remained on his
good bshavlor and kept sober. If he falls
by the wayside and resumes his drinking
hablta he will not be sent back to Mount
Pleasant, but will be treated to an ex
tended diet on bread and water In the city
baatlle, with the expectation that this will
prove as efficacious as the famous Kecley
cure.

Bricks lp a Window.,
Nephl Jaseph, a brickmaaon, will have a
hearing before Justice Ouren Friday on a
charge of malicious Injury to property,
preferred against him by Henry Martens,
proprietor of the Martens hotel on South
Main street, which was formerly known as
the Creston house. Jaseph at the time of
his arreat waa working for Max Mohn, who
formerly owned the Creston house and at
preaent owns adjoining property. The par
ticular charge rfgalnat Jaseph Is that he
bricked up certain wlndowa In the Martens
hotel and thus shut out the light. He did
this at the Instance of Mohn, who em
ployed him. Mohn claims to own ha'.f of
the division wall between the hotel and his
present property, and because some of the
residents of the hotel, as he alleges, per
sisted In throwing refuse onto the roof of i
his building he decided to brick up the
windows on his half of the wall above his
building. The arrest of Jaseph was simply
for the purpose of preventing the further
bricking up of the windows until such time
as an Injunction against Mohn could be
secured by Martens In the district court.
Jaseph waa released on bond pending his
bearing. -

He resisted the requisition and a trial was
had here before a United States commis

ficient evidence on which to order hi re
turn to Mexico. An attorney was sent here
from Mexico representing the Mexican gov
ernment and much evidence was Intro
duced'. Finally an order was secured
through the State department at Washing

rebuttal evidence by depositions and thus
to offset the evidence of the Mexican gov
ernment. The time for further action in
the case haa expired and It is learned that
the attorney for the Mexican government
has returned home and will not return to
prosecute the case. It will therefore be
dropped.
