THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 3. 1904. ADVEBTISEIEN'I& Munyon S aw-Paw With Twelve Childre F. F. Young, a former expounder of the gospel according to Presbyterian tenets, was the stellar defendant of a large and varied galaxy that passed in irregular procession before the tribunal of Mogan yesterday morning. The | charge against Mr. Young was crueity ito animals and the prosecuting attor- ney depicted him driving a horse of enfeebled physique and ramshackle equipment. His defense was a com- plete denial of the accusation that his treatment of the animal had been wantonly inhumane. 1 Policeman Knight swore that the | horse appeared to be anaemic and un- | kempt, that his rear feet were shoe- | less, that his harness was a mass of patches and knots, that a piece of | loose chain flogged his heels as he tot- tered along and that the vehicle to | which he was attached had a piece of rough scantling serving for a whiffie- tree, Where do you dwell?” inquired the court, fixing a penetrative eye upon | the mild countenance of Mr. Young.

In agricultural pursuits the equine ex- the case had been his faithful nplaining co-worker, and if e qu ruped were not in as fine fet- tle as Lou Dillon or some others of its specie ult was owing to the im- nstead of to the malice or carelessness on the part of its owner. Several witnesses testified that to the best of their knowledge and belief he horse had been shod when it really 'f‘u"d shoes and had been as well cared for as the average work horse belonging to ranchman of moderate means. With this testimony stored away in the judicial memory the case was con- | tinued till to-morrow. ot 1 Gardner wanted to do all the | ing when he was placed “m—e Mogen to answer to a cha§ige of pecunios! a . 1008 MARKET STREET, San Fraucisco. Judge | larceny. He was specifically ac- | {cused of stealing two buggy robes from vehicles standing on the street, and, after glancing at him a moment, the Judge recognized an old offender. | “You seem to be possessed of an un- | controllable penchant for taking unto | | yourself buggy robes without asking | | permission of their owners,” said his | Honor, “for here we find that on two prior occasions you were arrested for | | that offense.” “Never mind the priors,” said the defendant, waving his hand as if he desired to clear the atmosphere of his past demeanors. ““We'll let bygones be ih_\‘lzcmf:s and confine our attention to | this unwarranted charge now before {you.

A perfect cas cade of autocratic sentiment was pour- ing from his lips when the court again abruptly stemmed the torrent and pro- nounced him guilty. He will be sen- tenced to-day. “Truly, that was going some,” Mo- gan remarked in admiring tone when John O'Donnell "hye There's the Rubl"! with the bother, well, of home laundering. ur modern methods we can t f. g in such cost? ousehold t regret the small | away UNITED STATES LAUNDRY, 1004 MARXET STREET, Telephone South 420. concluded his re- | countal of how he had made Frank | Quesner, highwayman, look like the proverbial 30 cents. | Mr. O'Donnell stated that at mid- night Tuesday he was seated in a Te- | hama street saloon and “not paying no attention to nobody,” when Mr. Ques- | ner entered and courteously solicited information as to the exact time of day. With equal courtesy Mr. O’'Don- nell drew his gold watch from a vest pocket and was about to supply the asked-for information when Mr. Ques- ner wrested the timeplece from his hand and hurried away with it. When he recovered from his astonishment Mr. O'Donnell started in pursuit, and after a sharp chase overtook the fleeing thief, grabbed his coat collar with one hand, “plugged” his eye with the other, recovered the watch and handed his prisoner over to the police. “Mr. O'Donnell, you're a wonder,” said the court, “and you will find your | gallant conduct rewarded by the pleas- | ure of seeing Mr. Quesner deprived of his freedom for as long a period as the law permits. I will sentence him to- morrow.” Cross babies become good- natured babies when fed on Mellin’s Food. Mellin’s Food nourishes and pleases.

So distressing did | these facial distortions become to Mr. | Sparrow that on Tuesday last he sallled‘ forth and attempted to straighten out Mr. Derocavich’s features by vigorousiy punching them, whereupon the assailed one had him arrested for assault and battery. After hearing the testimony pro and con Judge Mogan decided that M. Sparrow had been sufficiently provoked by the defendant to make the assault ustifiable and instead of obtaining re- enge Mr. Derocavich was made the re- cipient of a stern reminder that if he did not keep his face in its natural hape he would be temporarily de- prived of right of way to the Sparrow restaurant. s e .

Truth is always more impressive, as well as stranger, than fictlon. Then, too, the printed page lacks the direct force of the recitation. Policeman Joy's diction may have been less elegant than General Wallace's, but any defect in that line was more than compensated for by his eloquent delivery. The footrace had origin in a “scrap” that disturbed the peace of Gomez's saloon and dancehall on Pacific street. The patrons of the establishment are Afro-Americans and when L. R. Wal- lace, a piano mover, dropped in for a drink and a pas deux there was nothing about his color. Lottie | Smith and Ruby Galindo, belles of lhel dusky district, divided the itor's terpsichorean indulgence the liquid refreshments were set up c. o. d. by Frank Silvey, the night bartender. According to the story told in court by Mr. Wallace, the first shadow of dis- cord was t upon the gathering by Miss Smith. Mr. Wallace could assign no other reason for her ““obstrepelous” conduct than her jealousy of the atten- tion paid by him to Miss Galindo. = while denly informed Mr. Wallace that he| couldn’t dance enough to keep himself warm—that he was awkward as a crab —and she could not torture herself by tripping another measure with him. Mr. Wallace, who prides himself upon his grace and agility as a cakewalker, resented Miss Smith’s criticism. “An’ den, yo honah,” he concluded, “suthin’ wuz stahted an’ we all mixed.

Sutherland, known as the} “human fly’’ from his fearlessness in| climbing the dizzy heights of flagpoles and steeples, is wanted by the police: or: a felony charge of obtaining money | by false pretenses. The complaining witness is J. L. Bronsted, a car-| | penter, living at 32 Eddy street. Bronsted alleges that Sutherland | called upon him January 15 and told him that he had entered into* a contract to tear down and rebuild 300 | feet of the famous Eiffel tower in Paris. He asked Bronsted if he would ac-| company him, as he needed a good car-' penter. Bronsted consented and the following day he and Sutherland signed a contract in which it was agreed that Bronsted should be superintendent of | the Eiffel tower job at a salary of $10 | a day. Bronsted and his wife left this city for Parfs accompanied by Sutherland, who, it is alleged, on the strength of the contract, borrowed at sums aggregating $1000 from Bronsted.

Early in the morn- | ing, dressed only in his trousers and a silk shirt, and apparently suffering with delirium tremens, Walters sud- denly jumped from the cabin window. A search was made for him on the boat, but without avail.
