BY JAMES C. —————e CRAWFORD. Ye Poy, whose laundry is at 240 ileventh street, confesses that his Oriental mind, although not excep- tionaily obtuse, is incapable of digest- ing into a harmonious whole some of the laws which are time honored in this community. For instance, there is a statute which makes it obligatory on Ye Poy's part to give a written re- ceipt for articles deposited for his case of its kind. Nor do I presume to instruct the Police Department as to the methods it should pursue in these cases, but I think that if detectives properly disguised were to buy pools it would be easier to obtain conviction of the persons who sell them. If such evi- dence as that is brought here I will convict the defendant, regardless of who or what he is. That is all I have to say at present about what is termed in street pariance ‘the passing of the buck’ from the police to the magis- trates when inquiry is made as to why pool-selling cannot e suppressed. These defendants are dismissed.” PR It was on Grant avenue, near Sutter street, that Jacob Sverto was accosted by the two confidence men. He recent- |1y came from Eureka, and when one of them stopped him, took possesion of his hand, cordially wrung it and as cor- | dially exclaimed, “Well, if it ain’t old i Sverto!” he said, “Why, howdy do?” | although he had no recollection of hav- ing seen the man prior to that moment. But he was lonesome and of amiable nature. “And how's old Eureek?” inquired the handshaker. “When did you come down and what are you doing? Allow me to introduce my friend. Let's get a drink."” || e professional treatment, said receipt | ostensibly being intended to protect | both him and the depositor, yet if the | depositor fails to produce said re-; ceipt and Ye Poy refuses to deliver | said articles, said depositor can recov- er possession of said articles by re-| sorting to another time honored stat- ute, “hkh enables their recovery by process of search warrant. The sub- tleties of this contradictory proced- | ure are too profound for Ye Poy's sense of reason and justice to assimi- | late. “Makee me allee samee dam he protested to Policeman | Laws, who was detailed to re- cover for Miss Etheline Dodson of 530 Golden Gate avenue the lingerie which she had left with him to be ‘done up,” she had lost. and his receipt for which | “But it's the law,” said the officer. | “Law no goodee,” declared Ye Poy. | Law say, ‘No getee tickee, no givee | washee.” Len lady she say, ‘“Losee| tickee, wantee washee.’ Len I say,| ‘Law say no getee tickee, no givee | washee.” Len lady bling law, say, ‘No tickee, givee washee allee samee.’ Law clazee.” His resolute refusal to give up Miss Dodson’s property, although she ac- curately described and positively iden- tified it, led to his arrest and he was booked for resisting an officer. When the case was called before Judge Mo- gan the complainant was there, but Ye Poy, who had been released on hospital that he was therein confined with nervous prostration, evidently in- | duced by his mental wrestle with the | intricacies of American law.

In the court of Judge Mo- gan yesterday she identified Coslodio as the man who prostrated her and compelled to pay the expenses in- | curred by her injury. Coslodio de- | murred on the ground that the dam- age was unintentional on his part and not even g result of carelessness, as he was dodging a ‘“chuck hole” in the asphaltum pavement when the colli- sion occurred. He pleaded poverty also, saying he was employed in a furniture | factory and received scanty wages. The Judge, however, held that if the defendant had not been riding at ex- | cessive speed he could have dodged the “chuck hole” without striking the lady and that if reasonable dumages were not paid by him he would be sen- tenced for battery. After the Police Judges had ex- plained to the Grand Jury why arrests for pool selling or buying are so sel- dom followed by conviction, his Honor Mogan returned to court and was con- fronted by the case of Charles Hamil- SOR.OSIS OPENING New Spring_and Summer Styles MONDAY, TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3rd, 4th and sth.

Patrolman C. F. Thompson, the complaining witness, testified that in company with Patrolman Nolan he found Hamilton ostensibly attending to his cigar business and the other two defendants perusing a list of ‘“over- night entries.” He saw no betting nor did he hear any proposal to bet, and the only material evidence he had to | offer consisted of several cards in- scribed “C. T. 8.,” which he found in a cigar box. “This case,” sald the Judge, “is a fair sample of the pool-selling cases brought into this court. There is absolutely no evidence that pools have been sold by the defendant, Hamlilton, or that pools have been bought from him by these other men. To pronounce the defend- ants guilty as charged would be a travesty on law and justice, yet failure to convict them may be utilized by the police to bolster their plea that en- deavor to suppress the pool-selling evil is not properly supported by the mag- istrates. Now, I do not desire to be understood as censuring you, Policeman Thompson, or the captain who com- mands you, any more than I desire to | be regarded as exercising undue le-| niency toward -persons charged with violating the anti-pool ordinance; but 1 do not approve the filing of com- plaints by the District Attorney’s office on such meager evidence as has been presented In this case and almost every | Then the old, moss-covered story of | bunko was repeated.

He | made a few inquiries as to Mr. Sver- to’s habits and then engaged him on the spot after receiving from him the sum of $30 as security that he would not disappoint his employer by failing to report for duty the following morn- ing at 9 Post street. When he ex- pressed a desire to commence work right then his shoulder wag patted ap- provingly and he was escorted to 9 Post street, where he was left stand- ing at the door while his guides dis- appeared through Lick Alley. ‘When the case was reported to the police Patrolman “Nick” Bakulich, acting on Mr. Sverto’s description of the trio; arrested Antonio Tolomi, who was identified by Mr. Sverto as one of the two ‘“steerers.” Judge Mo- san continued the case till to-mor- row, by which time the prisoner’s confederates will probably be sharlng his incarceration. + s e H.

In the thickly set- tled districts, like Tonopah, Gold- fleld and Kawich, the best order prevails, but in the sparsely populated sections of the more remote part of the county there practically exists a reign of terror as a result of the drunken acts of the Piutes. According to John L. Considine, Warden of Nevada's State prison, who has been a guest at the St. Francis Hotel for several days, the citizens of Nye County are in an exceedingly angry mood and it will need but a call from some good leader to bring them together for the purpose of adopting drastic measures against | the white men who are supplying Pi- utes with liquor. “Although there are Federal and State laws prohibiting the sale of liquor to Indians,” said Considine, “for | Some strange reason parts of Nye County are not being properly protect- ed against this traffic. The Piutes seem to have little trouble in getting all the firewater they want and of late they have been going on big drunks and committing all kinds of depreda- | tlons. In consequence many of Neva- da's citizens have found it necessary to take the law into their own hands for self-protection, and tragedies ensue which the outside world never hears of. “Only recently County Treasurer Gilbert was corraled on the main | street of Belmont, the county seat, by a drunken Indlan, and | it was only Gilbert's alertness and | quick use of his pistol that saved his | life. The Indian’s life was sacrificed to | the lawlessness of certain white men | who were cruel enough to give the red | man whiskey. Another affair that can | be directly attributed to the unlawful | sale of liquor to Indians occurred lately lnear Kawich. John Doherty, consult- | ing engineer of the Kawich Mining :‘ Company, was traveling from the com- ! pany’s mine to Goldfleld one night | when a drunken Indian held him up and compelled him to hand over a va- lise containing rich ore specimens that Doherty intended to ship to San Fran- | cisco to have made into quartz jewelry. | The specimens, worth,several hundred dollars, were afterward found scattered !

All the Indian de- sired was the valise, which took his drunken fancy. After robbing Doherty ' the Indian fired a shot at his victim, but fortunately the bullet went wide of its intended mark and plerced the top of the engineer’s buggy. “Incidents like these are arousing general indignation among the settlers, and if they continue a vigilance com- mittee, that has been contemplated for some time, is likely to exert its influ- ence in a manner that will suddenly rid southern Nye County of a bad lot of Indians and an equally rascally lot of white men who are responsible for fla- | grant violations of law.” O’CONNOR, MOFFATT & CO.
