Sullivan and H. Nolan the delicate task of ascertain- | ing whether there was truth in the re- port that liquor was being retailed in the unlicensed Midway Plaisance. They were young and unsophisticated in ap- pearance and the shrewd Chief con- cluded that if they failed to find evi- dence sufficient to procure conviction he might as well give up the quest| as hopeless, For some of his sharpest 1en had been outwitted by the vigilant Midway management. Their best dis-! ises had been penetrated at a glance * and untold gold could not have bought | for them an alcoholic stimulant in that temple of Orpheus and Some other} muses If the wise chieftain had been more particular in his instructions to the novices they might have crowned his experiment with success and them-: selves with glory. With victory fairly within their grasp, their lack of experi- ence brought what looks like ultimate defeat. It was Officer Nolan who narrated the | incident yesterday to Police Judge Mo-| gan, before whom Edward Herbert, a colored walter at the Midway, was| charged with selling liquor without a license. Nolan testified that he and Sullivan, both attired a la Reuben-in- town, visited the Midway last Wednes- day evening, and their disguise and de- meanor so completely deceived me‘ ever-suspicious attaches of the place | that they were asked if they would not) like to be introduced to some of the A few moments later they were comfortably seated in a curtained | ecess with two blonde ladies who car- ied weight for age and were of free and easy manners. “I'll push the button, kid, and you'll pay for the drinks,” one of the flaxen- haired artistes ingenuously remarked to Nelan, and of course there was no to the suggestion. The but- ton as pushed and Edward Herbert responded in rson. The ladies hinted ipagne, but the gentlemen deft- stepped the hint and ordered a of beer. Herbert brought the actresses, bottle beverage and four glas=es and received from Nolan the sum of one dollar, law- ful money of the United States, in pay- ment of the tip; So far the running | had been ridiculously easy, and it is safe to say that a veteran in Nolan’s place would have won the remainder of the race in a canter. But that young mitted the fatal blunder of ng to obtain positive proof that juid in the bottle was lager beer. did not even taste it, ungallantly ng to sip from the glass held to his lips by the fair hand of the fat- test ¢f the blondes. “Why didn’t you taste it?” inquired the attorney for the defepse. “Because,” was the answer, “I never toxicating liquor in my lifc.” Instant commotion in court.

Case continued till next Monday to give defense time in which to*prove non-intoxicating quality of stuff or- the b that Green, barber, such a miserable looking object that Judge Fritz fined him only $10 for having sent an obscene picture to a candy girl by messenger boy. The indiscreet tonsorial artist looked as if his brief incarceration had deprived him of at least one-third of his wonted avoirdupois, and his clothes hung loosely upon his bowed form. slertda As she stood before Judge Mogan and heard herself accused of vagrancy Anita Lansing was engaged in a strug- gle with her blonde coiffure, from which an ash-colored “rat” seemed bent on escaping. With teeth tightly clenched upon a number of hairpins, thereby impeding her articulation, she declared that the policeman simply lied whe: he accused her of roaming the red light district at all times o' pight, and he must have mistaken her for some other “lady.” She would have him distinctly understand that she came of good family—folk who could buy and sell him a dozen times | over and then have more money than he had ever seen. If she was not mis- taken he would live to bitterly regret the hour he had deprived her of free- dom. 8he was still talking and wrestling with a “rat” when the Judge continued the case till next Monday. . ie Among the defendants before Judge Fritz were several male parents who had failed to eontribute to the support of their minor offspring.

Joe Podesta denied paternity of the babe his wife asked him to provide for, and he was given until to-day to make pro- vision for its care. Matthew Sheridan, who was ordered to pay his divorced wife $15 a month by Superior Judge Hebbard, thought he could elude the obligation when that jurist went away on vacation, but the woman had him arrested and compelled to pay up. o 8 W Miss Belle Dougherty of Oakland told t Judge Mogan of how she had been in- veigled into investing $150 cash and a note for $350 in stock of the Raven Publishing Company by Theodore Lowe, manager of the corporation, and of how said he wanted a lady of literary at- | tainments to take charge of a monthly periodical known as “The Raven,” and that the person who obtained the posi- tion must purchase some of the com- pany stock, as he believed that a pro- | prietary interest would conduce to more Subsequently she ac- the prescribed condition and when she discovered that “The Raven” feeble bird she demanded but failed to get the money she had put up for its maintenance. Further testimony will be heard next Monday. . Judge Fritz dismissed the charge of embezzlement against E. L. Water- man, treasurer of the local aerie of Eagles, on the ground that the testi- mony was insufficient to justify con- viction. George Curry, who shot and killed his wife, Daisy, in a Turk street lodg- ing-house on July 5, was sent to the Superior Court by Judge Mogan. The preliminary examination brought out no facts other than were disclosed at the Coroner’s inquest. . 08 Kate Blackwell, . whose drunkenness and neglect of her three children made | her a defendant in Judge Fritz's court, was sent to the insanity commission for examination, as overindulgence in alcohol has apparently impaired her mental faculties. Her husband has placed the little ones in care of an in- stitution where they will be well treated. Inability of Attorney Frank .\Iurphy‘ to attend the preliminary examination ! of his client, Adolph Goldman, charged with attempting to murder ex-Mayor Snow of Oakland, caused a continu- ance until next Monday. Annie Gaynor, who makes life un- pleasant for Joseph Donahue of 136 Seventh street every time she drinks to excess, asked for a change of venue from Judge Fritz's court to some other police tribunal, as she thought that, in view of her frequent appearances in department 3, she would fare better at the hands of some other magistrate. So her case wi transferred to Judge Mogan, who ordered that she be held on probation until September 14. Miss Gaynor’s specialty is window-smash- ing and in the district south of Market street she has provided much work for glaziers. Henry Brandt, who stole $80 from one Martin, was held to the Superior Court by Judge Mogan, with bail at Brandt robbed Martin while the latter was asleep in a saloon. ey Matthew Macdoncugh pleaded in- somnia when he was accused of mak- ing a nocturnal bore of himself on the water front and said that a pending lawsuit in which he is the plaintiff is the cause of his sleeplessness. Judge | Mogan gave him a don’t-worry lecture and let him go. Vincent Sorentons, who keeps a fur- niture store on Filbert street, between | Powell and Stockton, will be sentenced to-day by Judge Mogan for having made a workshop of fronting his premises, despite repeated police protest. .

Judge Troutt yesterday issued an in- Jjunction preventing Thomas R. Hayes from dispoging of $63,000 worth of securities sued for by Elizabeth G. Messer and also restraining the vari- ous companies interested from trans- ferring any of the stocks pending the hearing of her suit for their posses- sion.

His friends carried | his unconscious body to the ferry-boat | and when they arrived at the foot of | | Market street in this city they took | | him to the Harbor Hospital, where |he was .treated for alcoholism. Dr| Boscowitz not discovering that Wolfe's | skull was badly fractured. Wolfe died | on the following morning, never )nwi‘ ing recovered consciousness. Wit- | nesses swore yesterday that there was | ‘ a succession of fights at the dancing pavilion from 9 o'clock in the morn- ing until late at night and that nearly\ | all the picnickers were drunk. There | | were three Oakland constables on the ground, but they did not interfere with , | the Bacchanalian orgies. This fact was brought out by the‘ | testimony of Charles Green of Oak- {land, a deputy constable, appointed by Constables Hampstead and Lane. 'Green said that he saw Wolfe lying | unconscious on the ground, but as his | friends were taking care of him he did | not interfere. The picnickers were | fighting all day, he said. “It seems to me very strange,” re- | marked the Coroner, “that seeing a | man lying unconscious after a fight Ithe constable did not make any inquiry | as to the person who had inflicted the | injuries.” “Hadn’t time,”” sald Mr. Green! cheerfully. “We had to herd them like cattle all day and we had our| hands full.” “Do the Oakland people stand for | that sort of thing?"” asked the Coroner. “Oh, it's the same all the time' there,” replied Green. | 55fmia nans of the Coicas attempt to ‘ | see what had happened?” ‘“Well,” was the response, “we tried | to keep them from fighting as much; as we could.” | “Does the Sheriff allow that kind of | | business in Alameda County?” the Coroner continued. | “We did our duty as well as we could. We stopped lots of fight. They had been fighting all over the place since 9 o’'clock in the morning.” Coroner Leland asked whether there was no way of getting the injured man to Emeryville for treatment and Green | replied that it would take a long time | to do that. Besides, Wolfe was in the | hands of his friends. “Did you report this affair to the Sheriff ?”” was the next inquiry. “I didn't know he was dead until the next day, when I saw it in the pa- | pers,” was the answer. i Green added that Bert Hampueadl and Morris Lane were his employers. | They, in turn, had been employed by Captain Siebe, the lessee of the park. | Owing to the absence of witnesses from Oakland the taking of testimony was postponed indefinitely. WIDOW 1S LEFT - SMALL ESTATE Susan Seymour, Wife of Pio- neer Hotelman, Decides to | | Contest His Last Will| e When Simon H. Seymour, the 80- year-old capitalist and pioneer hotel | man, met his death in Cache Creek, near Bartlett Springs, last month, it | was not known that he had left a will | bequeathing his wife nothing of Nl- large estate except a community inter- | est in the Seymour House, on S!CDndv ‘Slreel in Los Angeles, and a half in-| | terest in property on Mission nreet.| between Third and Fourth, in this city. | | Susan Seymour, the widow, has de- cided to coatest the will, and yester- day filed a hastily prepared document |’ in the Superior Court through her at- torneys, Henry C. McPike and Sulli- van & Sullivan, in which she alleges that at the time of making the alleged | will Seymour was of unsound mind, | and that he did not sign the plper The will named P. E. Towne and C. S. | | White as executors and the residue of | | the estate, worth about $750,000, \vu\ left to his sister, Henrietta F. Edwuds. the children of a deceased sister, Louise Hebrock, and the children of a deceased | brother, Henry Kordmeyer, /in Ger-| many. Shortly after Seymour’s death, the| widow, representing that he had died intestate, secured letters of special ad- ministration upon the estate and was awarded a family allowance of $300 a month. She also secured the court’'s permission to distribute 3360 among | twenty-one men who assisted in the| search and recovery of the old man's body. —_—— " Cheap Rates East, It you are golng to World's Fair get cheap rate and go via Northern Pacific Railway and Yellowstone Park.

Po- licemen O’Brien and Orr had seen a light in the front room of the Blythe residence and were wondering at the unusual sight when they saw three | Blythe's voice. The! policemen grabbed hold of two of the | youths and the third made his escape. | The ' policemen returned to the Blythe residence with the two prison- | ers. Mrs. Blythe said she had been awakened by a noise coming from | a room occupied by a friend, Howard Love. She threw on a wrapper and /went to the room, where she was sur- prised to see three youths busily en- gaged in ransacking the room. She| caught hold of two of them, but after a brief struggle they broke away from her and ran from the house, the other having preceded them. Then she ran to the front door and shouted “Stop thief!” . | The two youths under arrest were taken to the City Prison and booked on a charge of burglary. One gave the name of John Benson and his oc- | cupation as a bellboy and the other | Thomas P. Gere, alias Thomas Mec- | Lain, and said he lived on remittances | sent by his parents from Sioux City,‘ Iowa. Each is 17 years of age. They claimed to have known Love for the | last three months and visited his room for a joke. They had packed up sev- eral pairs of socks, several handker- | chiefs, other articles of wearing ap- parel and a lady's gold watch, all of were booked as evidence against them. ! When searched at the City Prison a | skeleton key was found in Benson's! pockets and it is supposed they ef- | fected an entrance by means of the key. They positively refused to di- vulge the filame of the youth who made his escape. —_——— Justices’ Court Suits.
