Watch and cash in gate? Ingharted tri court recital

In a court session Judge J C Beem reprimanded a prisoner, Fuller, who joked about being fuller than full while attempting to deduct a fine from scarce funds. The man claimed $4.52 left after surrendering his watch, but a search exposed missing currency and his possessions. Local drink-soaked episodes followed with Monday jailed for drunken behavior. A third defendant, Wells, admitted liquor bought in East Dubuque, prompting the judge to remark on the odd abundance of liquor tied to Dubuque. A separate domestic case ended as a family quarrel, with a prosecutor and witness admitting marriage tensions and the judge dismissing the matter for lack of space to argue.
