In the courts all sorts of stories are on file, and, according to the tales. of the principals, there must have been some re- markably torrid times in the old hotel this year. ‘F. W. Schutze ow: the prop- erty, arid he rented it to Mrs. Kate Prit- chard, who in turn sublét it to Mrs. Clara Bell Gardiner. The two ladies could not agree from the first. The sub: se in- cludes -a provision that Mrs. Pritchard should reside at the hotel and bave her own rooms. Although there are fifty- seven rooms in the hotel, it is not large enough for these two ladies to awell to- gether in peace and unity. At the present tme there is a Suit in ejectment named | Schutze vs. Pritchard and Gardiner; an- other suit, Pritchard vs. Gardiner et al. (all_the tenants individually); still_an-| other suit is entitled Gardiner vs. Prit-| chard, for $299 damages. There has also | been & case in the Police Court regarding the {All'kl!lg by a' Chinese cook of an al- leged live chickea, and also within the same period another series of c in _the Police Court resulting from the raiding of a ve lect faro game in this old- héd and very reputable hotel. the guests rented their rooms - told that they could use the telephone. that they would certainly have gas in their rooms and that there would be fires provided when they needed them. It was also understood that occasionally clean linen would be supplied to the lodg- ers. At the present time the telephone company has cut off.the machine, company likewise; coal has given out; linen is not to be found: and all because there are two landladies, each demanding the rent and each ref to give secur- ity for the necessary obligations of the hotel. “It all be * said ain her suit for damages against Mrs. Pritchard. “I was running the house and Mrs. Prit- chard was doing her best to induce lodg- ers to go elsewhere. I had a Chinese cook, and one day, just at dinner time, I went into the kitchen and there were two police officers, who had come to take away Lum. I asked that he be permitted to stay till the guests’ appetites were sat- isfied; but this was denied me, and then 1 learnéd to my great surprise that on in- formation supplied b; .

Then Mrs. Pritchard told me that I | had made her out a prevaricator in the | Police Court and that she would not be satisfied till T got out of the house.” { According to Mrs. Gardiner's story, the unpleasantness in the house increased and finally all her tenants were served with | attachment notices for thelr rent, requir- ing them to pay it to Mrs. Pritchard. One morning there was a very lively scrim- mage in the hall between Mrs. Pritchard | and Mrs. Gardiner's maid. Clara. Rnlh‘ were_anxious to have possession of the | bunch of kevs., and the maid succeeded | in retaining them. While this was going on Mr. Schutze appeared with his lawyer, but it is reported that when he'saw the little affair he said it was no place for a gentleman and quickly retired. The hotel is a valuable property and it is not likely that the ,present complica- tions can exist long. An attempt will be made to-morrow to compromise on all gides, and there will be a conference of nllllhe attorneys ln‘er:s(ed toward this end. i | | | THEIR PROGRAMME | | EMINENT SCHOLARS COMING TO CALIFORNIA.
