S Y Mrs. Ella Roessing, accused of peace bance by Mrs. Marian L. West Natoma street, told Judge| baniss that she was provoked to by the complainant’s unjust al-| to the histrionic ability and| ier (Mrs. Roessing’s) 1d daughter. Although it throughout the neigh- s Roessing was one of most: talented and respectable artistes now appearing at the Grand Opera-house, Mrs. West endeavored to be! the young lady’'s prestige by circulating the canard that she was merely & ‘“supe,” and a ‘“back-row” supe at that. In this libelous work, Mrs. Roessing further —averred, Mrs. West was unquestionably aided and abetted by Mrs. Mulligan, whom she (Mrs. Roessing) saw there in court and who would probably . be called by the prosecution. It was a sad commentary on human nature, Mrs. Roessing de- clared, that no sooner does a person begin to rise in the world than other persons attemot to impede the ascen- sion, although by so doing they cannot possibly - elevate themselves. But, thank goodness, Miss Roessing would continue to go onward and upward to fame and fortune, despite what reck- less tongues, inspired by mallelous hearts, might do with intent to drag her down. Mrs. Roessing’s reference - to Mrm Muiligan’s presence in court and fits probable objeet had . desired intirni- datory effect, for that lady was not called to testify. But the prosecution did summon.one Benmie Hevey to the witness stand, and “was sadly dis- gruntled when .the spectacled young man who responded glanced shrinking- ly at Mrs. Roessing and then deelared that he Knew. nothing ‘about ‘the case and had nothing to say. “And it's well for you, Bennie Hevey,'! that you haven't,” ejaculated Mrs. Roessing, “for if I cut loose a-tellin’ what I -know about you—but never mind.” o It then developed that Mr. Hevey had said, or was reported to have sald, that Mrs. Roessing had served three months' imprisbnment for. disturbing the peace.and-that she was a neighbor- hood pest. Under a sharp examination Mrs. Roessing gradually confessed that she had been incarcerated for the of- fense and for .the period mentipned, so she was promptly adjudged. guilty of the misdenteanor charged by Mrs. West.

Mts. Pericorne averred that Mrs. * Vincent called her uncompli- | mentary names, ‘and - Mrs. Vincent | swore that Mrs. Pericotne willfully in- | flicted innumerable annoyances on .the Vincerit household. Mrs. Vincent was | released on her own recognizance and Mrs. Pericorne was advised to estab- lish her home in'some other locality as soon as possible. C— His craving for oysters. Charles Bino said, was both extraordinary and in- appeasable. While appetite for the bi- valves is. usually acquired, his is .in- herent. From babyhcod he had con- stantly yearned for ovsters, and grat- | ification of his gastronomic desire had | kept.him a pauper. Yes, he had heard | of Charles Lamb’s famcus saying | to the effect that the-bravest man who | éver lived was he who first swallowed | an - oyster; but in his (Mr. Pino's) case | siperhumah courage was required to | eschew eating oysters, The suffering | he has undergone during the oysterless | months baffles description. - While the | rest 6f humankind looks forward to win- ter's.advent with dread, he "hails the first of September as the bride-elect greets her wedding morn or the ma- | P(‘lw?‘?d mariner welcomes an oncoming craft. - = 2 It was in the court of Judge Conlan that Mr. Bino thus endeavored to pro- | voke coridonement of his consumption | of '$4 35" worth of oysters in'a Stockton- street cafe and then informing the ca- | terer that he was’ unable' to pay’ for the feast, A walter and a cook testl- ance.at table hy gulping a full stew, after which he enveloped, in the order given, a dozen large Easterns on the half-shell, a like number of small East- erns in bulk, a pint of natives unshell- ed, -a ldrge Eastern fry and a-small Fastern.- pan roast, Spanish. He had ordered and was greed- ily awaiting -the arrival of two dozen ' California fried in cracker crumbs when thé. proprietor of the place, becoming alarmed by a compar- ative inspection of .the rapidly growing | bill and Mr. Bino’s rather seedy exteri- or, moved for adjournment and a set- — tling up. "Twas then the gourmet con- feseed his impecuniosity. When arrested by Patrolman Hutch- ins Mr. Bino expressed contempt for that officer - by expectorating on the sldewalk and thereby earned an addl- tional accusation. He will be sentenced for defrauding an innkeeper and violat- ing the anti-spitting ordinance. 7t i | | Mrs. Agnes Sterling of 1115 Clay | street averred her ablility to get along amicably with her landlady, Mrs. Ber- | tha Simeon, but when Mrs. Simeon and | Mrs. Rogers and Miss Mitchell put their | heads together and talked about her | and to her it was more than she could passively endure, inasmuch as she was | not a saint on earth. If she had said ! anything in retaliation it was no more | than a temporal angel would have| done, and the charge of peace disturb- ance filed against her by Mrs. Simeon was, therefore, rather unealled for, as | Judge Mogan would surely opine if -he | understood the circumstances. Mrs. Simeon then testiffed that for three months she had been trying to force Mrs. Sterling out of 1115, because of the truculent character of that lady. A rent increase from $40 to $75 a month did not have the desired effect, al- though- how Mr. Sterling managed to meet -the raise was more than she could understand. Did the undesirable tenant use offensive language? Lan- guage was no name for it. She simply sald ‘everything of an offensive kind that she could lay her . tongue to. Moreover- Mr. Sterling had sald that] his wife had him “buffaloed,” thereby unquestionably meaning that he. was henpecked to complete submissiveness. Mrs. Sterling was given twenty-four hours in which to vacate Mrs: Simeor’s flat. e S it E The Tonopah Home.

' He quickly reversed the motors. The descent had begun and censiderable speed had been gained before’ the inevitable collision took place. - “There were a number of passengers in the forward seetion of the car, and being warned of the impending danger, several had passed into the mail compartment before the crash came. One end of the mail car and the freight car were wrecked, but the presence of mind of the motorman prevented serious injury to the pas- sengers, - . Petaluma Electric and the (California - Northwestern | Men Fight in Santa Rosa —— Special Dispatch to The Call. SANTA ROSA, March 1—For six hours to-day several hundred men faced each-other with crowbars, picks, shovels and fought while they pried and dug at the rails, It was at the Sebastopol avenue crossing when the Petaluma and Santa Rosa Electric Railway force attempted to cut’the California North- western rails and cross into the city. The Northwestern people were on hand to ‘prevent the work. They succeeded until a restraining order arrived and ‘they were forced to withdraw. This left a clear field for the electric’ people and they built the crossing during the night. As a result of the battle several .men were hurt and several arrests were made. . This morning Judge J. M. Seawell of San Francisco dissolved the injunction against the electric line and both sides gathered for the conflict. The Nerth- western ran twe locomotives and sev- eral flat cars on to the.crossing where the electric force was sawing the rails. The two gangs of men fought each other with their implements and rocks. While the men dug at the rails their opponents, threw sand on them. The engines were-specially fitted with steam pipes through which-hot steam was thrown on the men at work. Director Frank Brush qf the electric railway lay on the ground in front of a Northwestérn locomotive as it was moving down to obstruct the crossing arnd ‘stopped it, the engineer not daring to’ run over- and crush him. Two wagons were driven on to thé crossing and . were wrecked between the two locomotives as they came down the tra in opposite directions. ‘Warrants were subsequently served from 'Spencerville toward the “Yuba Rijver dredge mining tract and -the ive already been run pearly that -far. ..

About 5 o'clock in the afternoon President Foster arrived on a special train with 150 employes as reinforce- ‘merjts’ for the fight. It looked as though the ‘conflict would grow more serious when a restraining order ar- rived frorh: Judge J. Seawell in San Francisco. It enjoined the California Northwestern from interfering with the electric road af the crossing and was made -returnable on Monday.
