What sort of a shot is he, any- | way 2" He says,” replied the interpreter, “that he is a good shot,-but just as he pulled the trigger the dog leaped | high n the air and stopped the bullet.” | “Pretty story that if the dog were a | retrisver,” said the Judge, “but as the | animal in question was a spaniel I'm inclined to disbelieve the witness.” Komi was again asked if he would ! pay 520 to Miss Vaughan for withdraw- 'al of the prosecution, and again he sturdily refused. “Forty dollars or forty days,” | scribed the court. Komi went to jail. (Finis.) € pre- George S. King, colored, told Judge Mogan that he had acquired the pistol carrying habit while he'was chasing Moros in the Philippines, and became so addicted to it that in civilian life | he could not abandon it. Henry A. W. Clay, also colored, was the complaining witness against Vet- eran King. It was adduced by Mr. Clay that while he was a-walking the other | evening and “not intahfeahing wif no- | body,” he was met by Mr. King, who | | cordialiyssuggested that they spend the | evening together at the residence of | Mr. Lampkins, likewise colored. Un- suspecting of treachery, Mr. Clay ac- companied Mr. King until they arrived | at an unfrequented spot somewhere on | Pacific Heights, where Mr. King sud- denly pulled out’a large pistol and, | presenting it at the head of the aston- ished Mr. Clay, demanded if that gen- tleman had uttered remarks derogatory to the character of Miss Lillian Lamp- kin, the daughter of the house to which they were proceeding. As might have been expected under the circumstances, Mr. Clay pleaded not guilty, and suc- ceeded in appeasing the warlike spirit King sufficiently to have the threatened shooting deferred until fur- ther inquiry could be made by that| gentleman as to the truth of Mr. Clay’s | denial. So the twain resumed their journey Lempkinward until Mr. Clay | found cpportunity to abandon his com- panion without danger of being pur- sued and shot—an opportunity which liceman, who arrested Mr. King and | Flannigan and others, Judge Cabaniss | CONFESSION OF DOG SHOOTING STARTLES THE COURT OF MOGAN —_—— Court Disbelieves Japanese Who < o wore eap Stopped a Bullet Animal’s Taking Off the other for pilfering gold pens from the store of H. 8. Crocker & Co. | The notorious “Jack” Evans was or- dered into custody yestenday by Judge Fritz pending investigation of the con- stitutionality of the law under whicn { he is being prosecuted by Mrs. Lovinia | Raemsch, who alleges that he sold per- | sonal property on which she held a | chattel mortgage. The woman man- lages an apartment-house over the saloon owned by Evans at 131 Taylor street, and her complaint is a develop- ment of the trouble which has existed for some time between him and his for- mer mistress and her mother. Evans has been in the courts on various | charges of assaulting women. | Josephine Winship, convicted of hav- | ing stolen $40 from Willilam Duffey, | was fined $30, with the alternative of | | fitteen days’ imprisonment, yesterday | { by Judge Cabaniss. Miss Briggs, an | agent of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, appeared in | court and requested that the organiza- | tion represented by her be authorized i to take permanent charge of the de- fendant’s four-vear-old daughter, as the woman did not seem to be qualified to rear the child properly. The appli- cation was taken under consideration, and in the meantime the little one will remain in Miss Briggs’ custody. | Mrs. Isabella Hansen was the defend- ant on a charge of disturbing the peace of Decatur street in general and Mrs. Mamie Peters' tranquillity of mind in particular. Mrs. Flannigan, who is Mrs. Peters' mother-in-law, was wit-! ness in chief for the prosecution and | her testimony depicted Mrs. Hansen as | a person who would be a disturbing quantity in any weil regulated neigh- borhood. Indeed, Mrs. Flannigan went so far as to opine that if Mrs. Hansen | were sequestered on a coral island in mid-Pacific she would manage to make her environment lively. The specific complaint of Mrs: Flannj- gan, however, was that while on her way home from attending a wake she overheard Mrs. Hansen speak in dis- paragement of the worth of Mrs. Pe- ' ters, and that when Mrs, Flannigan | protested and attempted to defend her | daughter’s character she was made the | recipient of a tirade of abuse from the | defendant. After hearing the narratives of Mrs. H | told Mrs. Hansen that there was one ! of three courses open to her—live at peace with her neighbors, leave Decatur | street or go to prison. Then he gave her a day in which to decide which of the three courses she should follow. Incidental to the hearing of Mrs. Flannigan's testimony it was learned that eleven children have been born to | that matron and that ten of them are | alive. i “A lady after President Roosevelt's own heart,” was the court’s comment.

For the R S lack of proper healthy flesh George P. Benham, president of the 3 who at between the |'Master and Journeymen Horseshoers and J. H. McCarty was president of | San Francisco Labor Council, the time of the trouble the executive committee of the coun- cil, was the principal witness yester- j'day in the trial of the suit for damages brought by McCarty against the mas- ters and the journeymen. His testi- mony was important in that it con- tained an admission that the Ceuncil had refused to indorse the boycott against McCarty and that sev- eral of the masters and journeymen had admitted to him that their organ- izations were going to drive McCarty out of business. Benham's testimony was not admit- ted without strenuous opposition by the attorneys for the defendants. Most of their objections were overruled. Re- duced to a connected tale, the evidence of Benham is as follows: During the trouble of the horseshoers; the masters and McCarty, I, as president of the executive committee of the San Francisco Labor Council, was waited upon by a com- mittee from the union and the musters' as- sociation. They _solicited from the Labor Council an indorsement of the boycott on Me- Carty. ‘The indorsement was refused and the journcymen were advised by the council not to assist the masters in their fight against McCarty. They persisted, however, and told me that they were compeiled to aid their em- ployers under an agreement existing between thelr union and the miasters. Tom Parker, one of the committee and a member of the union, told me such an agreement existed. I was also toid by one.of the committeemen, also by a journeyman, that notwithstanding the refusal of the council to take a hand in the row the fight against McCarty would be continued. 1 was also told that the masters and jour- neymen would not allow McCarty to do busi- Less unless he conformed to the agreement. and théy made the threat that when they got through with McCarty he would not have any business to derform. The committee told me that the union men and the masters had three causes of grievance ugainst McCarty. The first was that he had solicited trade and the second that he owed money to a brother journeyman and refused to pay. They charged as a third cause that McCarly had violated his asreement not to interfere with a widow of a union horseshoer who was endeavoring to conduct the shop left her by her husband and had shod a horse of one of her customers at a cheaper rate than that set by the association and the union, P S Insolvent Farmer.

J. K.

P H Cu dulge his penchant for opium smoking! enviable social and business standing. when he purchased the Baltimorz House, at Dupont and Bush streets, then and now.famed as a resort of opium smokers. Association with “dope flends” led to his gradual enroll- ment in their ranks, and once he was fairly installed his downfall was rapid. Now he is a penniless vagrant. For not having a weeping wife and two children, George Menoni, an Ital- ian, accused of having iottery tickets in his possession, was fined $5° yesterday by Judge Mogan. ‘When the case was called one of the court attaches whispered to the bench that the defendant’s wife and two younz children were in the corridor, weeping piteously over the prospect of being deprived of the company and support of their natural protector. “Ah,” said the kind-hearted Judge, “I'm sorry to hear that. But we may restore the man to his helpmeet and little ones. He has been in jail all night, anyway, |and his offanse is really trifling.” | Thus prepared to temper justice with ]mercy, the court requested the Italian interpreter to have the woman and children brought in, the evident inten- tion being to have them witness the dismissal of the husband and father. | But no woman and children could be found, and then the court turned to the defendant and asked where his family had gone. An indignant denial that he ever fhiad or cver proposed to have such an aacumbrance as a wife, to say noth- ing of two zhildren, was the man’'s ex- cited response. -And so emphatically reiterative did his disclaimer become that the Judge fined him $5 in sheer self-defense. g Judge Conlan held Edwin V.

At the same time, the driver of the time- honored beast of burden will get jus- tice, ro more and no less, when he comes before this court, either as com- plainant or defendant, in a case of conflict with the driver of an automo- bile.” D.
