Ritchie Receive Severe Injuries e as-long as a lady behaves herself up | The San Rafael local on the North | Shore road crashed into the suburban | freight train yesterday at Mill Valley Junction. The motor car of the local almost demolished the locomotive of the freight train and was piled up on a flat car. There were about sixty passengers on the local. Only one of these sustained any serious injuries. Mrs. S. Serf of San Rafael was hurled from her seat and jammed against the wall of the! | motor car. Her shoulder was dislo- cated. Engineer W. L. Ritchie of the freight train was pinned in the yreck- | age of his cab. One ‘of his legs was | fractured. | The accident was caused by Motor- { man E. Wosser’s disregard of the danger signal displayed at the station. | He should have brought his train to a full stop. Instead of doing so he | whirled past the station at full speed. | The switchman, J. F. Tobin, had left the switch open, and the electric train collided with the freight. This is the explanation given by the company's | officers. | CLIMB THROUGH WINDOWS. Confusion reigned in the cars. Wom- |en and children climbed out of the coaches through the shattered windows.

It was a fiercely fought case. The as- sistant District Attorney was flanked by special counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Gannon had an able and elo- quent professional pleader. Mrs. Savis | was 8o deeply affected by the remem- brance of the agonizing cries of her “polly” while Mr. Gannon was squeez- ing its body that on two occasions she ceased testifying to press her ds to her sides and sigh, “Oh, dea Mr. Savis became so mixed in his recountal of the parrot incident that the Judge had to straighten him out so that the lawyers could ascertain what he said, what the defendant said and what the bird sald The cigar cutter was produced in evi- dence, but the parrot was not there to testify, and a continuance till to-mor- row was ordered. B Robert F. Baker, teamster, made his third appearance as a defendant before Judge C: s, and was fined $10 for 3 on 10-year-old Ira Rayburn of atoma street. Then the court in- med Mr. Baker that his next convic- tion will be followed by as long a term of imprisonment as can legally be pre- scribed.for his offens % Mr. Baker’s debut in the Police Court was made two years ago, when he fined for obstructing a pet car. Twelve months later he was arraigned on a charge of mayhem, he having bit- ten off a portion of an oppone nasal organ in a rough-and-tumble fight. His latest offense was committed last Mon- d afternoon at Fifth and Clementina streets, where he lashed Master Ra burn the mneck with a heavy across whip. His excuse for the assault was that the defendant and some other boys | pelted hink with “red-headed matches’ while B tas upon his wagon, and th one of Me missiles severely burned his | hand. { e Thoma§.

Fhe prosecution alleges that Mr. Wil- liams feloniously entered a Southern Pacific dining-car at Third and Town- send streets and abstracted therefrom | various viands, including one ham and somé bottled liquors. In response to a query from the bench as to whether the burglarized larder contained either chicken or wa- termelon, Mr. Williams grinned and gave a negative answer. “De fack am, Jedge,” he added, “ah doan know what dat yah cah did kin- tain.

Hearing continued till next Friday. 08 e “Surely this can’t be the Margaret O’Connor to whom I gave six months about six months ago?” said Judge Fritz when a middle-aged, fresh-faced woman was placed before him and ac- cused of drunkenness in a public place. “The same Margaret O'Connor,” was e | in San Rafael, was a passenger on the wrecked train. She said: “When the | crash came I rushed for the door of the jcar T was In and attempted to alight, | but seeing the third rail, I ran through | the train to the rear platform. As I | alighted the switchman in the tower | ran toward me and exclaimed. “I'm | partly to blame for that. I ought to have thrown the switch. Are there many people hurt?” Miss Barrett kept cool and calmed the fears of many women among the passengers. Mrs. Cerf, the injured woman, would | not have been hurt had she not at- | tempted to save her little boy. As she | stood up to grasp him the crash came, | and she was thrown violently against a seat. William Ritchie, the engineer of the wrecked locomotive, could have saved himself by jumping, but was afraid of coming in contact with the third rail. Late last night Ritchie was reported as resting easily at the sanatorium in | this city to which he was removed soon after the collision. He seems to have received no injury except the fracture of his leg. e — Broker Sues Mrs. Walls. Stephen Otis, the stock broker, who iucuted judgment against John G. Walls for $§1607 50 on what the latter termed a gambling debt, yesterday began suit against Walls, his | Emma G. Walls, | Grain and Stock Exchange to enforce the collection of the judgment. The Sheriff could not find any of Walls’ property against which to levy, but it | was found that Mrs. Walls held 518 ! shares in the Central Grain and Stock Exchange, which she claimed as her separate property. It was testified be- fore a referee that the stock had been given to Mrs. Walls as a “gift” by W. E. Baines, president of the corpora- tion. Since receiving the shares in 1800 Mrs. Walls has been pald $41,- 000 in dividends. Otis brought the | case before Judge Cook and was given | permission to sue Mrs. Wall ————— | Stablemen Renew the Boycott. Notwithstanding the recent decision of Judge Hunt declaring boycotts to be illegal, the Stablemen's Union re- newed its fight yesterday by placing pickets in front of the St. Lawrence stables on Post street. It is not known what action the ‘Stable and Carriage Owners’ Association will take in the matter, as yesterday was the first day that pickets were placed in front of boycotted stables since the decision of Judge Hunt, wife, | and the Central; Patrick Smart testified that as he lay where he had been knocked down, in a Fourth street saloon, James M. Lininger kept him pinned to the floor by standing upon his face while sev- eral other men with whom he had been drinking rcbbed him of a gold watch ,and his spare cash. Robbery is the | charge against Mr. Lininger and Judge Cabaniss will hand down a decision day after to-morrow. o | Oscar Daly had his wife, Bridget, ar- | rested on the charge of threatening to | shoot him while they were visiting a lawyer with the mutual object of get- ting' their marital relationship dis- solved. During a discussion over the i i most to death by Bridget drawing from the folds of her gown a big re- volver and aiming it at his person, at the same time expressing a desire to | fill him chock full of lead. Mrs. Daly not only denied the alleged pistel display, but declared that of all the contemptible specimens of man- { hood she had ever met or heard or read about, Oscar was the worst. Such a thing as living in amity with him was an impossibility, and she pitied the woman who would take him for husband after he is at liberty to marry again. Her wedded life, Mrs.’ Daly l1‘urth(=r averred, has been an almost | unbroken fight with Oscar, he being invariably the aggressor. Not satis- fied with beating her, she said, he stole | her clcthing and pawned it for money | with which to prime himself with | w hisky to beat her again. The lady was still >counting her grievances when the Judge continued the case and set her bail at $250. | e e | J. B. Patrick, accused of obstructing the sidewalk fronting his place of bus- iness, 113 Sansome . by allowing an elevator to remain open, announced his intention of applying to the Board | of Public Works for a special permit | to continue the obstruction. To which | Judge Cabaniss retorted by expressing .1.1\1\1I that even so mighty a body as | the Board of Public Works could le- | gally give any one special permission to | break the law, which cléarly prohibits | obstruction of the city's public foot- vays. Then the case was continued 3 S stre. really intends to do about it. O'Brien and Cornelius Sweeney, confirmed opium devotees, convicted of stealing tools from a | Broadway store, were sentenced to six months apiece by Judge Fritz. ST Cornelius D. Fuchigami, who is responsible for the circulation of the Japane: | can, will answer in Judge Cabaniss court the charge of criminal libel, sworn to by G. Matsumaru, and spe- tha aforementioned journal certain de- famatory statements concerning the complainant and his wife, Waka. The defendant is held in a $500 bond. According to the complaint, Fuchi- gami went to Japan and there took unto himself a bride in the person of Waka, a pretty little woman, and brought her to this country. her entry he induced Matsumaru to g0 before the Immigration Com- sioner ard vouch for Waka's respecta- bility, and Waka was allowed to land. Then appeared in the Japanese Ameri- can an editorial article expressive of regret that the writer had lent his good offices in the matter of Waka's land- ing, as sub uent developments sat- isfied him that she was brought to this country for immoral purposes The writer added that his first information to that effect was imparted by Dr. Nishikata, and that it was proved cor- rect by his own investigation. There- fore he publicly apologized to his read- ers and to the great United States Gov- ernment for having been unwittingly instrumental in the landing of Waka. The case is said to be creating in the Japanese colony an interest scarce- ly eclipsed by that manifested in the proceedings at Port Arthur, as Matsu- maru is accepted as the guide, counsel- or and friend of his compatriots in all their dealings with the authorities of this nation, to say nothing of his un- disputed prestige as a social mentor.
