THE WHEELMEN. { Great Interest Is Being Manlifested in the Coming Relay Race. The great arnual relay race to be run around the bay Sunday, April 12, is now the only thing you will hear the club wheelmen discussing, and as it is the principal topic with them it is also naturally so with the majority of un- attached riders, for there is no cycling event the whole year round which attracts as much atteniion and interest as this Tace. A few of the clubs have announced the men who will ride on their teams, but the positions they will take will be kept secret until the last moment. Entries mustbein the hands of Chairman Stratton of the Associated Clubs by next Thursday, Apnl 9 and not until then will all the teams, riders, trailers and positions be known. The relay course has been remeasured and changed quite recently, as follows: Starting from Varney's Biclorama, corner Market and Tenth, to Brannan, to Protrero | avenue, to Nevada, turning the sonthwest corner of the City and County Hospital, to Ne- braska /San Bruno road), finishing on the level, half mile east of Baden. 3 ¢ Second relay—Continues on finishing imme- | diately in front of slate-colored cottage on Ho- | bart stock farm, half mile south of bridge at | San Mateo Third relay—Finishes in front of Atherton estate, two-thirds of a mile north of Menlo | Park. > | Fourth relay—Finishes one mile south of | Mountain View, about midway between two ed tanks.

The California Associated Cycling Clubs wili hold an impertant business meeting | this evening at the rooms of the Olympic Club Wheelmen, awl all delegates are re- quested to be present.

PThe) Bfi;z' City Wheelmen and Olympic Club Wheelmen are trying to keep the news of who their riders will be and how they will be placed as secret as possible. From pretty good authority the statement comes that the Olympic team will be made | up of Bernhard, Fuller, Kroetz, Christ, Davis, Tantau, Coulter, Jones, Edwards and Foster, and that they will ride in about these positions. There is no cer- tainty as to this, however, and even if it were so some of the men or positions might be changed at the last moment. It iz generally understood that Wells, Griftiths, Hall,” Long, Ulbricht, Krafts, Reid, Harry Terrill, Menne and Languetin will be on the Bay City Wheelmen’s team. Tom Cooper. the Eastern flyer, may ride for them if he gets here in time, and Ray- naud, Vincent and other members of the | club are being favorably considered. The San Jose Road Club will hold a minstrel entertainment next Saturday evening. The members will celebrate the before the class was given up, continue to exist? is a question that is being agitated. No doubt the racing board will decide this question shortly. They will serve little purpose, but probably the makers of the records would like to know that they still held them. A system of records should be devised. There are now too many dis- tances at which a rider may try. The racing board stipulates the time during which record trials can be made, and why not the conditions and distances? The Imperial Cycling Club will have a Tun to-morrow to San Leandro, taking the 9 o’clock boat. The final try-out will take place on this occasion, to fill a couple of places on the club’s relay team. A special meeting has been called for Monday even- ing next for the nomination of officers and directors for the ensuing year. Vice-President Day of the Pope Manu- facturing Company, who arrived bere dur- ing the week from the South with his fam- ily, left for the East last night after a brief stay. He was delighted with his Western ~trip acd thinks California the paradise of wheelmen. Probably the most popular conversation when a party of laymen begin to talk of cycling, is the high cost of wheels, and the probability of a reduction in prices within the near future. The favorite argument is, that with the largely increased number of bicycle factories in the country, and new ones constantly springing up, an over- production must resuit, and 1ollowing the ordinary law of supplwnd demand, lower prices should ensue. ere there only one erade of bicycles such a conclusion: would not be far out of the way, but from the CAPTAIN THOMAS S.

The principal subjects dis- Y | cussed at the meet?ng were good roads | from the $100 wheel. and streets, the lighting of Golden Gate | | Park by electricity and the construction of | bridges for crossing firehose without en- | dangering the lives of riders. The execu- | tive committee was instructed to co-oper- | ate with the newly organized Cycle Board of Trade in the matter of street improve- ment, ete. The Liberty Cycling Club has elected the George W. Payton, president; A. C. Gherini, secretary-treas- urer; William Beattie, captain; Fred 4, tiast lieutenant; Frank Irelan, sec- ond lieutenant; O. St. Denis. sergeant-at- arms; Dr. Frank Thrall, surgeon. To- morrow the club will have a run to the Clff House. team in the coming relay race. Thomas 8. Hall of the Bay City Wheel- men has been a familiar figure on the path for the past two years and is consid- ered a speedy man. He rode with credit to himself and his club at the recent in- door tournament, and will be given a po- | siton on the club’s relay team this year as usual. It is erroneous to believe that bicycle riding should be avoided in every case of heart disease. Physicians who have made a study of this question declare thatit stances in which the action of the heart is feeble and in which signs of fatty degen- eration are found. Increased muscular exercise almost invariably improves the condition of the muscle and of no muscle more than the heart itself. There are, however, several indulgences that persons with weak hearts shouid beware of, such as straining to climb hills and meeting head winds, excessive fatizue and particu- larly exciting the heart and calling uron ts reserve strength by the use of al holic stimulants and improper food. The manufacture of the modern bicycle presents one of the most complex and deli- cate problems in mechanical engineering —a problem more difficult of solution than the construction of a bridge, a locomotive or a twenty-story building. The reason is the ‘‘factor of cafety” is lower in the bicycle than in al- most any other mechanical product. In high pressure guns, for instance, the factor of safety is even as great as twenty, whicn means that the guns are made tweniy times as strong asis theoretically neces- sarv for the strain they must bear. In ordinary guns the factor of safety is twelve, in boilers it is aboutsix, in bridges usually five and in alinost every consiruction of machines it is at least four. These wide margins of extra strength are considered necessary as an offset to errors in theoreti- cal computations or defect in construction or material. With zbe lightness of con- struction in bicycles this isreduced to a very small marein, being as low in some instances as 1.25. This being so, one can readily understand why the makers of standard machines maintain sucn a rigid system of inspection. The Pacific Cycling Club celebrated its second anniversary last Tuesday evening by giving a theater party at the énlumbm. after which the members enjoyed a ban- quet. Toasts were responded to zfter the supper by President Adolph Herbst, Vice- President Frank Scott, Secretary H. Plage- mann, Captain L. W. Pryor, C.' W. Etting, H. Paulsen and Messrs. Regner, Bourk, F. and L. Paulsen, Hartter, Bach, Vaughu and Hicks. The jolly party broke up ata late hour. Will the class B records of last vear. and particularly those made the few months The Libertys will not entera | co- | | siderable difficulty in supplying the de- | mand for some time to come. There is no reason for any outery against the price of wheels. In a wheel, the price of which is maintained at $100, the buyer is sure of obtaining his $100 wortn, if not more, while if he pays but $40, the chances are vastly azainst his getting even $40 worth, gauging the proportionate value Meade Mitchell Shields, a well-known Los Angeles wheelman, now resident in San Jose, has been in the City the past | few days. | John Hoffmann and John Beale, two | well-known local sheelmen, contemplate | a trip to th= Yosemite Valley on a tandem early in June, and are already making their preparations. It is believed this will be the tirst time the trip has been made on a tandem. SPALDING. S i THE ANGLERS. islreams in Sonoma County That WIil Be Fished To-Morrow. Although the season for trout fishing opened on the 1st inst., very meager re- iporta from the streams have arrived as yet. Charley Green, Jones and Curley re- turned on Thursday from the Paper- mill, and Mr. Green reports that owing to & heavy rainfall near Mount Tamalpais | the creek is altogether too high for good fishing, and that the trout have made their way up to the headwaters, near Libertys. Green caught some small fish on the | riffles, but the sport was poor. He reports that auite a number of large steelheads are in the deep pools at Lagunitas Creek and that some of the anglers who will bait- fish to-morrow can expect battles royal and a cleaning out of tackle. Lloyd Eaton, Donald McRae and John Gallagner fished the Parissima Creek in San Mateo County and had good luck, but the fish they baskete: were small. Some nice fish were taken from the San Gregorio by anglers who fished pretty well up into the hilis. The Los Gatos Creek, near Wrights station, was well whipped by the anglers of San Jose, and some very fine messes were taken by those who used worms and salmon roe. According to the foliowing letter angling in streams which are numerous in Sonoma County will be exceilent this year. as young trout are plentiful and large fish still remain over to be canght.: April 3, 1896. Sporting Editor Call—DEAR SIR: 1 have just received information from Gien Ellen that sSonoma Creek and tributaries are running full with fine large trout. One gentleman caught seventy-five, averaging 10 to 12 inches in length, and severai others made some excellent catches. All the streams in Sonoma County are running full with trout. This is the case with all the streams up the line. Reports from Healdsburg, Geyserville, Cloverdale, Hopland, Pieta and Ukiah and Guerne- ville are to the effect that there was never so many trout in the streams. In some places the water is a Jittle bit high, but there is most excellent fishing for the opening of the season. If to-day and to-morrow are warim the streams will all be in 5ood shape, Keeping the Russian River open and the stock- ing done by this company during the past three years have been productive of wonderful results. A double daily passenger service to Sonoma Vallev points, morning train leaving this City 2t7:30 o'clock, gives anglers plenty of time to fish if they have only one day to spare. Yours respectfuily, R. A. RYAN. Although seven or eight anglers lett thls City last Tuesday purposely to fish in the Russian River and its tributaries, nothing in the way of authentic news has arrived. Possibly the streams still remain too high for fly fishing. The best results will ie had during the latter part of this month. Some very nice trout were caught yes- | | | | i terday by William Thompson from the Wild Cat Creek. he American Field comments as fol- lows on President Cleveland’s appoint- ment of a United States Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries: President Cleveiand has set at rest the spec- ulations and aspirations of all who have been anxiously awaiting the appointment of a United States Commissioner of Fish and Fish- eries, in place of the late Hon. Marshall Mc- Donald, by nominating for the office Cap- tain John J. Brice of California, a naval commander who was retired a short time ag0 on account of physical disabilities. On March 20 the Senate Committce on Fisheries unanimously decided to report favor- ably on the nomination,which is almost equiv- alent to confirmation. To say that this nomi- nation was a surprise to & majority of the peo- pleisbut a trite way of putting it. When so many gentlemen of known scientific attain- ents and experience in piscicultural matters have been named as_suitable nominees, surely President Cleveland’s action indicates he must have some knowledge of Captuin Brice's qualification that has not become known to the general public. We understand Captain Brice has had about five years’ experience in the work of the United States Fish Commission, and that is the total of his term of the study of fish matters, Many other gentlemen, among them one suggested months ago for this posi- tion—Captain_ Coliins—would seem to have gained by many more yearsof experience than Captain Brice higher qualifications for prop- erly conducting the aifairs of that very im- ortant branch of our National Government. owever, the President’s well-known interest in fish matters leads us to suspend our judg- ment upon this appointment until develop- ments shall prove the fitness or otherwise of the nominee. A T GUN AND DOG. Withdrawal of Members and Prizes From the Kennel Club. On Sunday there will be lively popping of shotguns at the Oakland track. The morning shoot will open with a 100- oird race, after which will come shoots by the following clubs: The Electra and Olympic will smash bluerocks, and the California Wing will shoot at live birds. The Rehance Gun Club will hold its meet- ing at the Lincoln grounds. The Olympic Gun Club will shoot agoinst the San Jose Cycling Gun Club annex on May 10, and the regular monthly shoots of the club will in future be held on the first Sunday of the month insteaa of the second Sunday, as formerly reporied. On May 17 the club, through invitation of the Stockton Gun Club, will journey to Stockton, and the two clubs will engage 1n a special shoot. he Pacific Kennel Club has opened quarters at 628 Market street, where entries will pe received for the show which will open on May 6 _at the Pavilion. The bench show committee, consisting of Thomas Matson, Clarence Haight, Howard Vernon and H. Bier, met Thurs- day last and accepted the resignation of G. Barker and Dr. F. W. Evelyn. Messrs. E. Briggs and L. D. Owens of the Olympic Club will respectively fill the places left vacant by the resignations of the two former admirers of St. Bernards and fox terriers. A committes from the St. Bernard Cilub met on Thursday even'ng and decided to withdraw the medals offered by members of the club for spscialsat the coming bench show. Yesterday the committee, after dispassionately reviewing the situation, concluded not to withdraw the special prizes, and so informed the secretary of ti.e Pacitic Kennel Club. Sam Hughes states most emphaticaliy that the mouney which he received from Herman Oelrichs, and which was to be de- voted to purchasing classes consisting of English setters, St. Bernards and fox terriers,will be used, but that the prizes will be competed for at the Oakland bench show and uot at the Pa- cific Kennel Club’s bench show, as many dog men supposed. There is a small clashing of steel among | the leading lumiparies of the Pacific Ken- nel, St. Bernard and Fox Terrier ciubs, which fact is to be regretted by all sports- | men who areinterested in dog matters. It appears that the leading officers of the Pacific Kennel Clab ara not fancied by some dog men who would be pleased to have the reins of kennel government in their hands. The disgruntled ones con- tend that it is time that some of the man- agers who have “been running things their own way’* during the past two shows that have been held in this City should step down irom their perches and give others a chance to distinguish themselves. But the ofticers of the Pacitic Kennel Club can’t see the point 2s submitted, aud consequently they propose to remain on deck until they prove to all lovers of the dog and the promoters of bench shows, etc., that they are the right officers in the right piace. Jealousies, however trivial, should be cast aside by all parties concerned, ana all true sportsmen who are interested in the success of the May show should for- give and forget, and all join hands in making the next exhibition the most suc- cessful in every particular of any show that has been held west of the big moun- tains. A number of sportsmen are vervy out- spoken as regards the action of tue bench show committee in giving specials only to firsts in the different breeds. Firsts and seconds would give far greater satisfaction, as all sportsmen interested :n dogs do not make a specialty of breeding high-priced stock just for the honor of winning firsts at berch shows and afterward being able to realize a good thing from the sale ora prize-winnner's puppies. Sam Hughes has forwarded the resigna- tions of Herman Oelrichs and Dr. Croness to the secretary of the Pacific Kennel Club, Tne following letter from Antioch has been received: ANTIOCH, March 29. At the ciub shoot here to-day at twenty-five singles, known traps, unknown angles, the following scores were mad Hawkhurst 17, Ross 15, W. Remfree Sr. 15, W. Remfree Jr. 13, | Robert Remfree 13, James Trylor 13, Proctor 12, Williamson 11, Joe Taylor 8, W. Kelly 6, Altizer 6. The Brentwood and Martinez Gun clubs shot last Sunday, and the match was won by the Brentwood Ciub, which scored 133 points against the Martinez Club’s 80 points. —_—— THE RIFLE. Annual Shooting Contests of the California Schustzen Club. The California Schuetzen Club will open its season to-morrow at San Rafael Park, where hundreds of riflemen, representing several of the towns and cities of this Btate, will gather to compete in the great prize-shooting festival. The prizes are so numerous that the poorest marksman cannot help winning something. The contests will commence upon tne arriva! of the first train that connects with the early boat from this City, and a continual cracking of rifles will be heard until the whistle of the last train will compel the marksnien to leave the ranges. £ g THE OARSMEN. Crews That Are Training—The Sieeping Ploneer Club. The race between the senior crew and a picked crew of the South End Boat Club to-morrow over the Long Bridge course was the sole topic of interest in local boat circles during the past week. It will be remembered that the senior crew of the club, who are the candidates for the honor of representing California in the proposed Eastern trip, defeated this crew in a three-mile race held two weeks ago by only a boat length and a half. The defeated crew was so elated over the showing it made against the flower of the South End Club that it immediately chal- lengea the latter to a return match, to take place to-morrow. The boys have been training mightily for the past two weeks and are in splendid form, and, barring accidents, they ougbt to give their more experienced opponents a hot race. The make-up of the crews is as follows: Senior crew—Henry Bode, bow; Bob MacArthur, forwardwaist and captain; Gus_Carson, afterwaist; Frank Daplissea, stroke, and Georze McGrill, coxswain. Picked crew—T. Barry, bow and cap- prizes for special | tain; D.Clm&hll, forwardwaist; T. Bmith, afterwaist; George Bates, stroke, and Doc Fl¥nn, coxswain. he officials of the race will be: Alfred W. Fritz, referee; J. D. Mahoney, William Thomas and William F. Humphreys, judges. The Ariel Club is busily engaged con- cluding preparations for its entertainment on April 7 at Union-square Hall. The pro- gramme is almost complete, and is one of the best the Ariels have ever got up. _ It is being noised about that Harry Ter- | rill, the crack bicycle rider, is goingto row in one of the Ariels’ crews in the coming regatta. The personnel of the crew is as follows: H. Larkey, bow and captain; Harry Terrill, jorwardwaist; George Phe- lan, afterwaist; Henry Whitkopf, stroke, and Andy Carroll, coxswain. 2 The Pioneers have kind of lost their grip with their racing crews. Mr. Bren- nan, who trained the crews that made such goud showing last year, tried to get the 0¥8 1n training again, but his efforts, so far, have been futile. ‘The Pioneers are contenting themselves with rowinig simply for the exercise of the thing, and leaving the racing for the more exmlarating clubs. Ed Scully undertook to race Al Fritz last Sunday in a shell, but hadn’t pulled two strokes before he was precipitated into the water. He was picked up by Ed To- bin, who happened to be rear by in a | whitehall. The Olympic Boat Club has purchased two four-oared racing shells from the Co- lumbia Boat Club of Oakland, whose racing crew has been hroken up, owing to Graham, the forwardwaist man, changiag his residence to Santa Barbara. The officers ot theclub for the ensuing term are: Captan, Bob MacArthur; chair- man, J. R. McAvoy; secretary and treas- urer, E. R. Allison. T. R. Keenan is training the Dolphins for the coming regattas. Last Sunday both crews rowed from North Beach over to the Ariel boathouse. This will be their regular training routine. The Dolphins pride themselves on their new coxswain, George Roch, whom they sa{‘ is second to none on the bay. he following shell-rowers will row under | Doiphin colors this year: W am Schu- | macher, Jack Coughlin, W. A. Patch and | C. J. Morgan. The ciub’s picnic committee, consisting of J. J. Cronin, Frei Woerner, J. Manor, Joe Laib and E. P. Sullivan, visited Sunset Park last Sunday to arrange for the club’s picnic on June 7. Sl HANDBALL. First- Class Gamas That WIIl Be Contested To-Morrow. At the Union court to-morrow afternoon J. C. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet will play R. Lenihan and J. J. Feenzy, the ‘*‘cracker- jacks” of the court. The match had to be postponed last Sunday owing to Nealon’s sickness, but it will positively come off to- morrow afternoon, and one of the cleverest | and most exciting games ever played in | the Uity may be expected. Lenihan and | Feeney have repeatedly challenged any | two plavers in the City to meet them in | their own court, and this is the first time the challenge has been accepted. Nealon and Bounet are well-known expert ex- ponents of the game, and if they are beaten it will be a great surprise to their friends. The match witl be well worth seeing. The other games to be plaved at the Union court are: Tim Jordan and J. Ken- nedy against W. Leonard and Billy Me- | Manus, Jobn McGrath and W. Kehoe | {against M. Kenealy and P. Stapleton, O. Hendry and Professor Lynch against J. Nelson and C. Johnson, Terry McManus and James O'Donnell against P. Hutchin- son and D. O’Brien. No definite action has yet been taken as | to the building of the court for the Oiym- | pic Club. The meeting which was to have | been held last Wednesday : as been post- poned till rext Wednesday, when a de-‘ | cision will be reached. Tha owner of the grounds has conceded everything, so that qunmuer lies entirely in the hands of the club. Those who will be present at the San Francisco ball court to-morrow afternoon | will be treated 10 a few hours of first-class | sport. Manager Phil Ryan will make up | a programme to-day, but the principal feature will be a four-handed game be- tween two prominent players for a purse of $160. High-class ball-playing will be | the order of tue day. The handball games to take place at P. Ryan's ball court Sunday are: M. McNeil and W. Meanion to pluy G. M- | Donald and P. Ryan; W. Stansbury and J. White to play R. Murphy and M. Edwards; J. Slattery and 1ly to piay P. Hutchinson and Nel . Shields to play E. McDo; Al Pennoyer and J. Kearney to play Lawless and D. Connolly; P, Donnelly, the amateur champion and. W Williams 0 play J. Harlow, the coast cham. pion, and G. Hutchinson - - | | | | Coursing. Followers of coursing will be surprised | and grieved to learn that Dr. Q. Von | { Hummeil, one of the most extensive owners of greyhounds in the United States, has decided to withdraw from the | sport and sell his entire kennel, in which | is kept some of the best blood in the | world. Dr. von Hummell has been for | years tne leader in coursing east of the ocky Monntains, and has several times visited this coast to run his hounds against California stock. | To-morrow’s coursing at Ocean View | Park promises to be of more than usua! | interest o & to the quality of the dogs entered and from the fact that a fine lot of hares from the Merced plains have recently | been received.

Pease, a missionary oftwenty years’ experience in the barbarian | islands of the Pacific, near the equator, is in the City. The doctor is an embassador | of the American Board of Foreign Missions of the Congregational Church, which has its headquarters in Boston, He has beer doing what he could among the natives of the Carolines, and other isiands in that part of the world. He esri- mates that there are 5000 natives on the island of Penope alone. Thers are 2000 miles of the great archipeliago. In the east half of the archipellago, hesays, there are from 25.000 to 30,000 natives. It is there that the doctor and his associates have been working. “‘We have got two missions in the Gil- bert Islands, on the equator,” he said, ‘‘where there are, in a!l, about 20,000 na* tives. In the Marshall gioup there are some 14,000 or 15,000 natives. We have a head station there. “Qur work is succeeding very well. I think it would be a great thing for those who are unfavorabie to mission work if they could have been in some of those islands a few years azo and again at this time and see the changes that have been worked with the natives. 2 *In some of those islands when a vessel was wrecked they killed every man and iooted the cargo. Now a wrecked crew and cargo are as sate on those shores as they would be anywhere in the world. The natives look out for the poor wrecked men and feed and care for them.” Dr. Pease will soon leave for Southern California, where his family has been for some time. He has grown gray in mission work among the South Sea 1slanders. | fired when the deceased was lying on his | funeral w | story, the latter begging piteously that | | City i ple;”” replied the prosecuting attorney.

WIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER Becomes Delirious on Hearing the Awful News—Attendants Fear She May Not Live. John F. Martin, the Deputy County Clerk, who was shot by his wife on Mon- day last, died at the Receiving Hospital yesterday morning at 4:15 o’clock. Up to 12 o’clock Thursday night the at- tending pbysicians had every reason to believe that Martin would recover, but at that hour he became slightly delirious, his temperature rising very rapidly. Dr. Fitz- gibbon, who had charge of the case, was summoned, and thougn he worked faith- fully for more than four hours could not check the rapidly advancing dissolution. Stimulants were admiristered at short intervals, but further than partially allay- ing the pain did practically little or no good. Martin evidently appreciated his condition, as he asked that the last sacra- ment of the church be administered to him. Father Hickey was accordingly sent for and with much solemnity performed the rite. At 2 A. M. his foster-mother, Mrs. Chase, living at 420 McAllister street, was sent for. She remained nearly an hour, but Martin never seemed to realize her presence. County Clerk Curry came in a few minutes before the final end, he being the only one presert outside the physician and nurse when death came. The body of Martin was removed to the Morzue soon after death and Dr. Barreit held an autopsy. He found two bullet wounds in the body. The second bullet fired by Mrs. Martin entered one inch to the left and an inch above the umbilicus, passing to the left backward and slightly downward. There was also a bullet wound in the back, an inch to the left of the vertebral | column. Dr. Barrctt worked on the body for four hours and was unable to locate the second bullet. He said that death was caused by the buliet that entered the abdomen, perforating the colon. This was the shot which Mrs. Martin | bzck on the floor of the corridor of the new City Hall. The body was removed to an undertak- ing parlor at 122 Eddy street, whence the I be beld. | Mrs. Martin was not informed of her husband’s death uutil late yesterday after- noon. When the awful news finally broken to her the scene was pitiful and painful in the extreme. Mrs. Foster, her sister, told the stricken woman the ead | one’ more message be carried to her hus- | vand. ‘““He might be still alive,” she caid, *and I do iove him so.” Mrs. Martin is a very sick woman, and uniess a change occurs speedi'y, it was not | thought that she could last through the day. It was just 12 o’clock yesterday when the name of Susan Martin was entered on the big book in the sergeant’s office of the rison. On the same line, but further out on the page, appeared the tim ple word, “murder.” FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT Attorney Becksly Fined $10 by Judge Joachimsen for Creating a Scene. Judge Joachimsen's court was the scene of a wordy war yesterday between Attor- ney J. A. Becksly and Prosecuting Attor- ney John T. Dare, in which the former | came off second best. ! The disturbance arose over the sentence | of Mrs. Mary Meager of Bernal Heights, convicted of disturbing the peace, and | Becksly worked very hard for his client, | arzuing that as this was her first offense she shouid be leniently handled. His | Honor informed the attorney that the woman had been before him many times, and he would be forced to ask her to pay a fine. Backsly made another vain_appeal, fin- ally turning on Attorney Dare, giving | at gentleman a tremendous tongue lash- | ing. ““You are jobbing,’”’ howled the now thoronghly angered Becksly. Jon’t you accuse me of cinching peo- Such attorneys as you ought to be in San Quentin.” Becksly was not to be quieted by any such remark. “This man Dare is crooked ; know it,”” he said, advancing toward the prosecuting officer. Dara waxed very angry at this, and picking up a convenient | cuspidor was about to hurlit at the ad- vancing Becksly, when Judge Joachim- cen interposed, finally bringing order out of chaos. Becksly was hauled up before the court | by a most willing bailiff and fined $10, or at the rate of about $1 a word. He paid the fine, apologizing to the court at the same time. NEW TO-DAY.
