THE CHRISTMAS GRIND.

A Short Session of Police Court Was Held Yesterday Morning.

One of the pathetic Christmas sights in police court yesterday morning was the appearance of a woman who gave her name as Jennie Smith and claiming Foster as her home. She was charged with intoxication, and ad­mitted her guilt. It developed that she had called a certain hackman to take her to the Milwaukee depot to catch Tuesday morning's train for home, and that instead of taking her to the depot he took her to a saloon where he procured several drinks for her. Finally the woman became so drunk that she was unable to walk and the hackman drove her to the po­lice station to get rid of her. She was placed an jail until yesterday morning when she was called for trial. She was a woman of possibly forty years of age and appeared to have come of a good family. She said she was not in the habit of doing this, and that she did not know how she happened mingham.
