Collins availed himself of the op- portunity to obtain an order citing Po- | lice Commissioner H. W. Hutton, “spe- cial Chief of Police for 1129 Dupont street,” to appear before the Judge on August 8 to show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court | for violating the injunction restrain-| ing the police from interfering with the business of Jean Pon, proprietor of | @& restaurant at 1129 Dupont street. ! The alleged violation was caused by the arrest on June 7 of Mary Duren, | one of the inmates of the houses in the | rear of 1129 Dupont street, by Police- { men Barry and Fennell on a charge of vagrancy. The officers refused next morning to swear to a complaint | against the woman, and she was dis- charged by Police Judge Cabaniss, Judge Cook having gone on his vaca- tion. Collins tried hard to get Judge Cabaniss to issue a warrant for Hut- ton’s arrest for false imprisonment, but the Judge declined. However, he is- sved warrants for the asrest of the two officers and the cases against them are pending. Collins says he has evidence of the fact that Hutton issued a written or- | der to the police officers to arrest wom- !en having their quarters at 1129 Du- | | pent street and instructing them to '\\rite the name of the women so ar- | rested on “Jane Doe” warrants to be | sworn to by a machinist named Gum- RIVER—Arrived July 2-S¢b' | mow employed by Hutton as a special | B | = UMPQUA from S Pedre, - JuIY S=8unr San Gabriel. | 4ol (jve.

The charge was battery and to Police Judge Mogan was assigned the delicate task of getting at the facts and deciding in accordance with them. Mrs. Girod testified that until last January she and Mrs. Perrin had nothing but kind words for each other and the severance of their friendship was entirely Mrs. Perin’s fault. She (the witness) was absolutely at-a loss to account for the coldness with which Mrs. Perrin repeatedly repulsed her cordial advances, and finally she ceased trying to renew the‘r erstwhile amicable relationship, pride restrain- ing her from subjecting herself to fur- ther snubs. So for several months | prior to June 24, the date of the al- leged battery, communication between the Girod and Perrin households was entirely suspended. 3 At the time of the assault, Mrs. Gi- | rod stated, she was watering plants in her garden, when to har amaze- ment, she saw Mrs. Perrin leap over the five-foot fence that divided the two rear yards and advance to- ward her with threatening mien. The next thing she knew was that Mrs. Perrin was belaboring her head with a heavy stick and calling her some un- printable names. After she broke the | stick on Mrs. Girod's cranium, Mrs. Perrin picked up'an ax and was about to utilize it as a weapon when a young child of Mrs. Girod wrested it from her. Thus disarmed Mrs. Perrin com- pleted the battery with her fists, | swinging several hard right jolts into Mrs. Girod's ribs, Mrs. Perrin’s version of the affair | her accuser. The entente cordiale| was first broken, Mrs. Perrin stated, by Mrs. Girod borrowing from her a certain domestic utensil and then slamming the door in her face when she went to ask that it be returned. After that she was told by several persons of unblemished reputation for truth and veracity that her character | had been covertly asailed by Mrs. G rod, and when that lady was taxed with it she fairly deluged Mrs. Per- rin with unladylike language. It was true that Mrs. Perrin had beaten Mrs. Girod with a stick until it broke, but the weight and thickness of the weapon was exaggerated by the | prosecution, as the Judge could see |f0r hi 1f. (Shattered stisk pro- tduced in evidence by prosecution.) An attempt to renew the attack with {an ax was stoutly denied, as was the { administration of body blows with |fists. No, the children had nothing to do with inspiring the assault. The three little Perrins and the four juve- nile Girods aiways got along togeth- er as agreeably as “kids"” could get along with each other. The primal cause of the trouble was the slamming of the Girod door in the face of Mrs. Perrin when she went to ask that the property borrowed from her be sént | back. Then came the witnesses. Robert Grant, carpenter, saw Mrs. Perrin use her fists, but not a stick, on Mrs. Gi- rod. Joseph T. Terry knew the par- ties, but did not see the assault and would like to know what he had been subpenaed for, anyway. John Perry, | whiskered a la Svengali, saw Mrs. Gi- {rod struck with the stick by Mrs. Per- rin. Harry Perrin, bricklayer, hus- band of defendant, was sure his wife ! did no more, maybe not as much, as any lady would have done under sim- ilar provocation and circumstances. The case was continued till to-day. . Mrs. Maggie Kelly and Mrs. Mary McGowan were the stellar performers | in Judge Fritz’s court. They live next | door to each cther on the first block ,of Clara street and opposite to the domiciles is a police station. But the latter fact, according to Mrs. Kelly's complaint, did not restrain Mrs. Me- Gowan from disturbing the peace. The specific charge was that Mrs. McGow- an hurled uncomplimentary allusions and made threatening demonstrations at Mrs. Kelly. “I'll show you how it was, Judge,” shouted Mrs. McGowan, leaping from the prisoners’ bench and swinging bailiffs and other court attaches aside until she had cleared a space sufficient to give her ample room to illustrate her plea. “I was attending to my own business when this weman says, says she, ‘Bring out your bare-legged Scotchman of a husband and I'll spoil see, from Hamburg and Boulogne for New | York. |~ Steamer.

She has a handsome income from property left her by her husband, keeps a house and servants on Eddy street, but is a confirmed in- ebriate. When arrested Tuesday af- ternoon she was under bond on an appeal from a sixty-day seitence given her several weeks ago by Judge Fritz. L A Judge Mogan held Robert L. Payn- ter, accused of passing a fictitious check for $15 on a Pacific street saloon- keeper, to answer in the Supreme Court with ball fixed at $2000. . . Charles H. Scanlan was given fifty days for borrowing from a Sausalito school teacher a watch worth $50 and pledging it for $20. - James Dowling’s aunt says he has his wife, who lives in Chicago, and Judge Mogan will sentence him to-day for vagrancy. Despite his long spree Dowling is a fine-looking fellow and his relatives evidently want to have him jailed for reformatory purposes only. ‘Willlam Parker, while under the in- fluence of opium, entered the bathroom of a Bush-street hotel and was dis- robing himself preparatory to taking Mogan gave him three months.

Moore testified that about two | months ago the dog disappeared from his home and he notified the poynd- | master to look out for it and also ad- vertised its loss in the daily news- Unlike the historic cat, how- ever, it never came back, and he had about given it up as kidnaped and con- verted into sausage meat when it was found in Mrs. Robinson’s possession. He showed tax receipts and identified the collar worn by the dog as one he had given to it as a birthday present. By a strange coincidence he named the animal “Jack,” and the same appellation was bestowed upon it by Mrs. Robinson. “It seems to me,” said the court. “that Mr. Moore owned the dog, and of the pound officers in selling the dog to Mrs. Robinson after they had been told to look out for it by Mr. Moore demands investigation. I'll continue the case until next Saturday, when the poundmaster should be here to offer some kind of an explanation.” R Frank Albs, a sturdy Teuton, car- ried his Fourth of July celebration over to the afternoon of the 5th, when he planted himself in the middle of a Market-street car track and ignored the implorations and threats of an angry gripman until a policeman re moved him. Judge Fritz fined him $5. Fa R No sooner had Jeff Hamilton of Los Angeles arrived at the ferry depot than he began soliciting alms and sev- eral small silver donations had dropped into his dirty palm when a policeman nabbed him. Sentence to- day by Judge Mogan. B »Ee Frank Hoff was the defendant and tery case before Judge Conlan, but neither of them looked the part. Hoff's head was completely swathed in bandages, while Young unscathed. The trouble occurred in a send streets, where Young was fore- man and Hoff an ordinary employe. Hoff angered Young by addressing him with undue familiarity, cheerfully say- ing, rebuked for his impudence he threw an empty can at his superior. Hoff's bandages told the rest of the tale. Case continued till to-day. . e Charles A. Lander, a former police- man, demanded a jury trial when he was arralgned for beating his wife at their home on Valencia street, and the jury found him guilty of battery. Then he was fined $300 by Judge Fritz. e Robert Clemens was pointing a pistol at J. H. Warren, armed with a razor, when a policeman arrested both of them at 4 o'clock yesterday morn- ing in a saloon at Fifth and Mission streets. Clemens informed Judge Mo- gan that he was en route from Scot- land to Seattle when he was attacked by 'arren, and that he drew the pistol in self-defense. Sentence to- day. . “For the land’s sake, why can’t you go ahead and let us hear what he's got to say?” inquired Grace Somerset, credulity and derision. Twice did the Judge break into the proceedings and order a brief continu- ance to give the ladies opportunity to kiss and make up, but each effort re- sulted in failure. They returned to the charge more acrimonious than before and finally they were ordered to go home and return to-day. “And if you do not arrive at some sort of peace footing in the mean- time,” quoth his Honor, 11 sentence each of you to a month’s compul;ory silence.” George Curry, the gripman who shot and killed his faithless wife in her room on Turk street last Tuesday and then surrendered himself to custody, was arraigned and instructed before Judge Mogan for murder and the ex- amination set for July 12. Curry ap- peared very dejected and his voice was scarcely audible as he answered the Mrs. Margaret Galvin, who in the last year has been arrested about a accused of stealing $100 from John Pero of 530 Third street, when Judge Conlan continued the case till Satur- day. No explanation was §ouchsafed Mrs. Somerset and her indignation was at boiling point as she returned to dur- ance. She is the wife of the once notorious George Somerset, a Dupont- street saloon-keeper. . - ) “Dr.” Samuel Waits, the colored all- round scientist and mystic, was given sixty days’ imprisonment by Judge Mogan for obtaining money by false prejenses from various feminine be- lievers in his professions of omni- science. It was the fifth time he had been called up for sentence and on four of the occasions he obtained a postponement by means of some spe- cious plea. The longer he deferred the inevitable the more serious did his situation become, as new victims of his chicanery were materializing every day. His specialty was to inform the credulous fair ones that by dreaming he could foretell the winners of horse races and thus induce them to intrust him with small sums for investment with the bookmakers, been drunk for two years and neglected | a bath when his arrest occurred.

Joseph F. Mayder, in al- leging that his wife Elsie was guilty of extreme cruelty, names the dates upon which she successively blackened his eye, boxed his ears, kicked him, called him vile names and slammed the door on his foot. They were married in July, 1893, and the first act of cruelty cited was committed upon August 5, 1902. The injuries which William J. Fair- burn suffered at the hands of his wife Ethel Dolly are almost as harrowing, if his complaint can be belleved. They were married, he says, at San Jose in 1901, and for the past three years she | has been cruel to him. He declares that she struck him on the head with her fist, giving him a headache, threat- ened to knock his head off, bit him on the shoulder, hit him on the nose, drawing blood; chased him around a hall where they were attending reli- glous services, to his intense mortifica- tion, and spat in his face. He says. too, that she nags him at night and pre- | vents him from sleeping. | John Flynn asks the court to an- | nul his marriage with Nellie Flynn. i The ceremony was performed at Pasa- dena November 16, 1903, and they bave | not lived together since. Millie Park’s charges against her husband Thomas Edward, in her suit | tor divorce, is that he would remain away from home evenings to attend prize fights, “upon which he spent much money.” She says that while he | was able to support her He failed to do 80, and after sending her $5 while she was visiting friends in the country he would not answer her letters asking for | more money. Finally, she says, he sold all of their household effects, including | | the contents of her own trunk. | Maude Shirley Gregg's allegations of | crueity against William C. Gregg in- clude the declaration that he beat her into insensibility and ofttimes threat- ened to kill her. She asks for 360 a month for the support of herself and two children. Other suits for divorce were flled by Marion Louise Hart against Walter E. Hart on the ground of neglect; William 8. Kelly against Alice Kelly for deser- tion; J. F. Ormsby against Gertrude Ormsby, desertion; Frederick H. Kidd against Hannah Kidd, desertion; E. McConnell against J. McConnell, habit- ual Intemperance; Belle B. Chance against Charles T. Chance, cruelty. Divorces were granted by Judge Troutt to Elizabeth J. Morlan from Willlam E. Morlan for neglect; by Judge Graham to Josephine Lefebre from Emil Lefebre, desertion (they parted twenty-one years ago); to Lena Rosenstrauch from Harry Rosen- strauch, neglect and cruelty; to Hattie May Brigman from John Frank Brig- man, neglect. Brigman is said to be a | Jockey and able to earn $100 a month on the tracks. —_—mm ADVERTISEMENTS. | STATEMENT —OF THE— CONDITION AND AFFAIRS | —OF THE— ASSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA F NEW YORK.
