MEEK WHEN IN COURT.
Changed Attitude of a Bad Man From
Oklahoma.
"I am a bad man from Texas and Oklahoma. I don't really hanker to kill anyone, but I might stick this knife into somebody and just turn it around a few times. I feel like doing that just to keep up my 'rep.' "
Martin Garrett, the man who made the foregoing remark Friday night at Sixth and Broadway, and who was later arrested with an open knife in his hand, was as meek as a lamb when he was arraigned in court yesterday.
His remarks had been directed to William Williams, an inoffensive citizen, who was eating a sandwich while Dennis Guffey tried to act as a peacemaker. All were arrested. The "bad man from Texas and Oklahoma" was fined $15 and the others discharged.
