Charles wdward Locke lectured to a large audience in Central M. E. Church last night on “The Parson, His Parish, His Privileges and His Predicaments.” ‘While the first portion of the lecture was interesting, the ‘‘predicaments” were far more popular, as Mr. Locke has a good fund of anecdotes which he guarantees to be true, but are none the less amusing because they are true.

WHEATLEY OF LOS AN- GELES THE VICTIM. Four Men Lured Him to a Room, Knocked Him Senseless by a Blow on the Jaw and Robbed Him, Alexander Wheatley of Los Angeles until Tuesday night imagined himself something of a boxer, but now he is of a different opinion, and will think twice before he offers to engage in a mixup | with a stranger, | ‘Wheatley arrived in the city Tuesday | night and started out to ‘‘do the tender- loin.”” While drinking in a saloon he met James Green, Victor Legay, Tim Dona- hue and Michael Rackett, who spend their time in looking out for a ‘'good { thing.” They had several drinks to- gether, Wheatley bearing the expense and foolishly displayed lots of coin. Along about midnight Wheatley con- fided to his newly found friends that he was a “bit of a boxer,” and nothing would please him better than to have an opportunity to show his proficlency. Donahue said he would accommodate him, and led him to a cheap ledging-house on Dupont street, between Bush and Pine, where a room was engaged. ‘Wheatley had about $300 in his vest | ocket, and when they entered the room | e pulled off his coat and vest and threw | them on the bed. Donahue threw off his | | coat, and after Legay and Rackett had | | been appointed seconds and Green ref- | eree, ‘Wheatley put himself in a fifihllng | attitude. Then something struck him on the jaw, and he fell to the floor senseless. ‘When he recovered he was aione in the | room, and his money, his gold watch and | chain, a diamond collar button and two diamond shirt studs had disappeared. He did not report the matter to the police till Thursday, and that night Legay was arrested by Detectives Gibson, Wren | and Dinan. Yesterday morning Wheat ley called at the City Prison and identi: fied Legay, and a charge of grand larceny | | was booked against him. Wheatley went | before Judge Joachimsen and swore out | warrants for the arrest of Green, Donahue and Rackett on a similar charge, and the detectives are searching for them. \Vheatlex suffered severely from the blow on the jaw, which was badly swol- len yesterday. He is living at 1613 Myrtle street, Oakland. BRUTALITY OF A POUND OFFICIAL USED HIS REVOLVER ON A CITIZEN. Also Convicted of Using Vulgar Lan- guage and Ordered Into Cus- | tody for Sentence With- out Bail. Frank Tyrrell, a deputy poundkeeper, was convicted by Judge Mogan yesterday on the charge of using vulgar language to appear for sentence this morning. The evidence showed that Tyrrell | Wednesday evening went into the butcher shop of G. Tassi, 233 Fifth street, to cap- | ture a valuable water spaniel belonging to Tassi. The shop was crowded with ladies at the time. Tyrrell grabbed hold | of the dog and Tassi protested. Tyrrell pulled out a revoiver and made use of most disgusting language that shocked | the ladies. Even in court Tyrrell made use of lan- guage that brought down upon his head | the wrath of the Judge. In convicting him the Judge sald that citizens must be rotected from a "blsr bully like you,” ooking squarely at Tyrrell, and he for one would put a stop to it. There is also a charge of assault with a deadly weapon pending against Tyrrell in Judge Mogan's court. The complain- ing witness is Gottlieb Katz, a resident of the San Bruno road. Sunday afternoon Tyrrell impounded a number of goats, including two belonging to Katz. Katz followed his pets, and when they strayed into a vacant lot he went after them. Tyrrell rushed at him and hit him on the head with the butt of his revolver, knock- ing him unconscious. Not satisfied with that Tyrrell had Katz arrested for battery. The case was_tried before Judge Conlan Wednesday, and was dismissed. Katz at once swore out a| warrant for Tyrrell's arrest on the | charge of assault with a deadly weapon. ——e The “Pro-American.” Senor A.
