Owens “Stood Up” Little’s Saloon i PLAN IS CAREFULLY LAID B i il Officers Describe Chase of One; Highwayman and His Cap- ture After a Running Battle —_——— Details pertaining to the “holding up” of William Little’s saloon, at 760 How- ard street, on the night of Decem- ber 6 were freely related yesterday in Judge Mogan's court, where Harry Howard and W. H. Owens were on pre- | liminary examinatipn for the offense. Howard was arrested at the time of the rcbbery and Owens was subsequently taken in as an accomplice. The testimony served to expose the movements of the defendants prior to the time of and during the “‘stand up.” Howard and Owens were seen that evening among the audience of a street evangelist at Third and Mission streets, and Howard seemed to be so much af- fected by the words of the exhorter that he followed the procession to church, while Oweng remained on the | broad path that sinners find it easiest to follow. Tha two fellows were next heard of at the residence of Mrs. Mary Smith, 716 Howard street, where Howard be- came involved in an altercation with a cripple and with difficulty was re- strained from shooting him. When told that it would be beneath his dignity to| assault a man physically maimed Ho H ard flourished a pistol and said, would just as lief kill him as not.” Little's saloon was the scene of the| third act. When Howard entered the| place the inmates were Little himself, J. McAuliffe, James Killodi, Michael Driscoll and Defendant Owens, who sat aloof from the others. Prior to enter-| ing the saloon Howard held converse | with an unknown boy and was over- I CLAIMANT OF A LOFTY BRITISH TITLE IS JAILED FOR VAGRANCY Sixty Days’ Sentence of ‘‘Lord Godolphin Osborne, Duke of Westminster,”’ Is Raised to Six Months for Contempt of Court —_— “Lord Godolphin Osborne, Duke of proved against him yesterday Dbefore ‘Westminster, ,London, England,” was | the legend penciled on a scrap of paper | and vassed up to Police Judge Fritz yesterday, morning by a tall and seedy looking m#a who stood accused of va- grancy. ¢ ““What's this?" inquired the court, al- | Warehouse Company Judge Mogan.

J.| Schroeffel, who was loitering at the sa- | loon door and to whom Howard gave | 20 cents to ‘‘trot along about his busi- ness.”” When these preliminaries had | been arranged Howard went into the | saloon, drew a pistol and compelled | McAuliffe, Killodi and Driscoll to stand | against the wall with their hahds up, | and he then went over to where Owens was sitting and spectacularly com- | manded him to hoist his bands and preserve silence on penalty of death. | Then, after surveying the line of men | | ranged against the wall, the bold high- tion was in progress, Mr. Stewart, pre- siding at the piano, laughed immoder- ately at some airy persifiage which | several young bloods were addressing to Miss Irene Walker, and that Mr. Slaughter, who was generally recog- nized as Miss Walker's ‘“‘steady,” en- tered the ballroom, unlimbered his six- shooter and fired twice at Mr. Stewart, | missing that gentleman, but inflicting “For sixty days.” The defendant gasped, glared incred- ulously at the. bench, opened his lips as if to voice a protest, but apparently | underwent a sudden change of mind, for he bowed with courtly grace afd said: | “Much obloiged.” “You're entirely welcome,” responded the Judge, bowing in return. i “But Oi'd have ye to undherstand,” | shouted the defendant, as the bailiff grasped his arm, “that this is an out-| rage for which ye’ll suffer. Ye cawn't| sind me to jail laegelly, nor can ye keep me there afther ye've sint me.” | “Bring him back here,” said the| Judge to the bailiff. | When the order was complied with, | and thé tall figure of the claimant to/ one of the proudest titles in the British peerage stood again 'at the bar, the Judge addressed him as follows: “Edward Horn, allas Lord Godolphin ©Osborne, Duke of Westminster, the duty devolves upon me-of punishing a severe wound in the leg of a small boy who was in the vicinity. The attorney for the defense attempt- ed to make it appear that for some time a feud had existed between Mr. Stew- art and the defendant, and that Mr. Slaughter's shot was the outcome of a long period of persecution on the part of the complainant and of self-repres- sion on the part of the defendant. This plea of provocation will probably be the line of defense intréduced to-day, when testimony in behalf of Mr. Slaughter will be heard. 1 RANKIN'S DEATH INVESTIGATE His Fall From the i Floor of the Merchay, Exehange Declared Aceijey: AXELBRIGHT COMES \g LR L TP Reveals a Coineidence Between Fates of the Unfortun PRESLIL | A AT Testimony St Coroner Leland held an inques terday upon the bodies of W. D kin and Fred Axelbright. Rank killed by falling from the fifth f the new Merchants’ Exchange bui on November 28, and Axelbright killed on December 9 by falling off seventh floor of the same building. When Rankin fell to his death Ax bright was standing near by, and | a singular circumstance that Ax bright, an hour or two before he w killed, was served with a subpena attend the inquest on Rankin's body which had been set for yesterday. On the day of Rankin's death one of the Coroner’s deputies remarked to Axel- bright that structural ironwork was a hazardous calling. Axelbright replied lightly that it was not at all dangerous to an experienced man, but he marked to a fellow workman that he expected to go that way himself some day. The testimony in Rankin's case was that he was standing on the last steel girder at the south extremity of the fitth floor and had a monkeywrench in his right hand, while he supported his balance by throwing his left arm around a steel upright. Workmen were engaged in putting a girder im place, and when everything was ready Ran- kin said, “It's all right, boys.” He had withdrawn his left arm from the up- right and was sustaining his balance with the wrench, but as he spoke the wrench slipped and he tumbled head- long downward. Axglbright was engaged .in similar work on the seventh floor when a hoist- ing derrick fell to the flgoring. Fearing that it was about to strike him Axel- bright changed his position and lost his balance, falling into a pile of half-hard mortar in the basement. He died in the Central Emergency Hospital half an hour later. A verdict of accident was returned.in both cases. g DGO L A Obtain Money on Bogus Contract. D.

Games will be arranged with the Pirates of East Oakland, the Seamen's Institute of San Francisco, the hospital corps of Alameda, Heald's Business College and the Haywards Juniors. There was congiderable comment on the decisions rendered by the referee, Heriry Roberts, last Sunday in the game between the Vampires and the Albion Rovers at Alameda. The cap- tain of the Vampires so far forgot the respect due to a referee that he actu- ally. abused him on the field. It is wholly due to the forbearance of the referee that the Vampire captain will be playing to-morrow. With regard to the decisions rendered by the referee, it is a coincidence that four other ref- erees who saw the match stated they agreed with the referee's decisions in every case. The Vampires escdaped a penalty altogether for a gross piece of foul play, the goalkeeper striking one of the Rovers’ forwards full in the face with his fist.

Nynan declined to take the children, | however, and the result was his arrest on a charge of failing to provide for his minor offspring. The policeman sworé that in addition to the two little ones in the prison there were three others sadly in need of parental atten- tion. It was while the policeman was tell- ing his story yesterday morning in the court that Nynan uttered the defiance alluded to. In tones that were audible throughout the chamber he declared that “they had no double-blanked right to arrest him.” ' The declaration was officially noted and the case continued till to-day.
