SEVERAL BULLETS DO BIG SERVICE Early Msralag Soiree Aroaaea the Whole Netftbhorhooa aad Calls Oat Police and Patrol Wagon. Mrs Sadie Robinson, a colored woman who keeps her bed and buffet at 1M4 Cars street, told Police Judge Crawford before th people's bar Saturday, morning what form of motive power wa used at the Robinson place early Friday morning, when a belated Fourth of July celebration caused four patrolmen to besiege the Roblnaon citadel and take C. A., R. snd Sadie Rob inson. The woman declared that "white lime" was at the bottom of the trouble. For the edification of the police magistrate It was explained that "a-hlte lime" 1 the Cass street vernacular for alcohol, a form of drink which Is more populsr thsn pa cific and when drunk In the pur state often makes work for the police. At 8:30 Friday morning neighbors of the' Robinsons telephoned the police that an early morning soiree was In progress at the Robinson home. Four policemen In the patrol wagon pierced the morning atmos phere between the police station and the Robinson stronghold. The Robinson place was found to have been turned upside down and the walla punctured with bullets. In the police court Mrs. Robinson de clared that white lime caused her to have a bd dream. Awakening suddenly,' she thought burglars were In the house and grabbed the first man she saw, which hap pened to be her husband. A general rough house followed, with R. Robinson In the role of peacemaker. Mr. and Mrs. Roblnffon were each sen tenced ten days by the police Judge.

GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW Fralt . and Vegetables Are on tha Market la Variety and For the one who la especially fond ot fruits and vegetables, commission row now displays some tempting warea. Home growers and southern gardeners vie with each other in seeing w can place the greatest variety on the market: Plums are here in all their luscious va riety. California offers tbe big blue ones and the big white ones, and the most beautiful red and wine colored ones are here from Arkansas. Of the latter there is but a small supply and fancy prices must be paid, though there is plenty of the California product. The market is overloaded with Juicy pineapples, and re tailers are disposing ot them at 10 cents apiece. A few home grown peaches have arrived, and though not as good as thosu from the Golden Gate, are- very good for cooking purposes. Cherries are almost gone and those who want them will have to buy within a week. Onions, -carrots, parsley, cucumbers, cab bage and such things are plentiful and can be had at reasonable prices. Home grown potatoes of good quality are being brought to market in quantities sufficient for the local trade. The supply of tomatoes la growing larger, and with It the demand for the price Is down now to where every body can afford to have them. Kalamazoo celery Is of a fine quality and Is going at moderate figures. California cantaloupes are retailing at 10 cents each. Watermelons are not so plen tirul yet that they have become cheap, but the dealers report a good demand. Th toothsome spring chicken hangs high and there Is no prospect of an Im mediate decline in price. Though It Is said there are plenty ot chickens In the coun try, for some reason or other the farmers refuse to market them In large numbers. Those which can be obtained ar fat and tender.
