Dividing the homes is a wooden partition sufficiently thick to be opaque and so thin as to hardly obstruct sound. Mrs. Ellis is af- fiicted with cerebral neuralgia and the slightest unexpected noise conveys most painful jar to her nerves. Mrs. Goldman — i | | | | g | was alleged to be aware of that fact when she either carelessly or willfully | bumped the pargtion with her fists and | various household implements, including broom handles. Mr. Ellis was charged | before Police Judge Mogan with having | maliciously invaded the Goldman domi- cile and slapped the face of the daughter of the house in retaliation for her thump. | Ing of the partition. He denied the ac- | cusation. *“Ach Gott,”” he saild to the | Judge, *“id vas der angish offul dot mine vife soofer ven dot chile der vall mit der proom handle hit. Und der mooder den | der dotter der verse alretty vas yet. Der | mooder shpit mine vindow upon und mid | her fishds der vall pound. Mine vife her | head hold und groan der pain mit. Nein, | T shlap der kid’s face vunsd nod.” | But both Mrs. Goldman and her daugh- | ter averred that the latter was most fe- roclously assailed by Mr. Ellis, who en- tered the Goldman home as the preda- tory wolf Bwoops upon the fold. The Judge, however, apparently considered the old man’s unsupported word of more | value than the corroborated narrative of his accuser, and so stated while dismiss- | ing the case. Two and a half years ago Mrs. L. Lo- gan, then managing an apartment house at 1136 Ellls street, missed a diamond ring valued at $450 from her room, and | when sshe Informed Detective Bralg of | her suspiclon that the thief was B. C. Gray, one of her boarders, the man had | fled to Chicago and thus eluded service | of a’ warrant charging him with felony embezzlement. The ring was discovered | in possessfon of a barber, to whom Mr. Gray had sold it for $125, and soon after recovering it Mrs. Logan transferred her residence to Los Angeles. Mr. Gray found employment as a drummer for the Armour Packing Company and no at- tempt was made to molest him until he lost his position and indiscreetly returned to this city in quest of another one. The | lynx-eyed Bralg saw and recognized him | and quietly summoned Mrs. Logan from the southland to file complaint, and yes- térday he was arraigned before Judge Fritz on the charge of grand larceny, the embezzlement accusation being deemed | defective. Mrs. Logan, a statuesque bru- | nette, is staying at the Palace Hotel and | Mr. Gray, who is misery personified, s recelving callers in the City Prison. The case will be heard to-morrow. Since the | ring was stolen and recovered Mrs. Lo- | gan married a Mr. Buhler, whose name | she relingquished when she separated from him, and Mr. Gray became a benedict in Chicago. s lene Mrs. Mildred Conrad of 1315A Ellis street told Judge Cabaniss that Edith Fitzgerald, whom she had employed as | housemaid, stole - clothing and jewels from her and then confessed the theft and returned the plunder. After being forgiven and allowed to retain her place, Edith repeated her larcenous conduect, Mrs. Conrad averred, and it was for so doing that she was arrested and charged with petty larceny. Edith promised to put up a strong defense to-day. RN Peter H. Lucero, a barber who once did business at 262 O'Farrell street, ignored Judge Fritz’s order that he con- tribute & few dollars a month toward | the maintenance of his minor child, so the Judge commanded that he be de- | tained In custody until he obtained | cash bail in the sum of $100. | “You have displayed suclt extraordin- | ary inability to ratse $5 for the sup- | port of your infant” said his Honor | to Mr. Lucero, “that I deem it proper | to spur up your ‘hustling’ capacity by compelling you to raise $100 for your | own comfort.” IR ) Trevor Lauman, a conductor on the | Sutter-street car line, declared he was a victim of too much mother-in-law and father-in-law. It was the latter per- | son, Len Sledge by name, who appeared | as complainant against young Mr, Lau- ! man on the charge of failing to provide for his two-months-old babe, and Mrs. | Sledge was also in Judge Mogan's court | to push the prosecution. . | “We've been married a year,” said the defendant to the Judge, “and we'd a-got | along all right if her mother and fa- | ther had a-let her alone. But they | kept a-coming to our house and u-tell- ing her that she ought to have picked a | richer man for a husband, and when I | could stand it no longer I packed up ‘and walked out and told them to set- | tle it among themselves. Of course I'm | willing to support the baby, but I can’t !live with my wife unless her parents | let us alone.” g The young wife ‘silently 'wept as her spouse narrated the cause of their sepa- ration. s “You young people go into my cham- bers and talk it over,”-sald his Honor, “and T think you can arrive at an amic- able understanding. And to you, Mr. Sledge, and your wife, I would suggest that you interfere as little as possible forget that her first duty is to her hus- band, the father of her child.” Mr. and Mrs. Lauman retired to the seclusion of the Judge's office, and there, sure enough, they agreed to disagree no more.

For uttering foul language in a hotel af 118 East street, and repeating it while being escorted to prison, John Gustavson was promised a maximum sentence -to- day by Judge Mogan. “He yelled obscenity, while passing an army officer and two ladies on Market street,” said Patrolman A. L. Martin to the Judge. “I'm sorry you didn't stop his mouth Wwith your club,’ was his Honor's re- sponse. s . When the 22-year-old niece of Mrs. Alexander Sunden came from Bweden to dwell with her aunt at 1643 Market street Mr. Sunden, who keeps a locksmith shop at that address, began a course of malicious persecution of the girl that continued almost without intermission until last Sunday afternoon, when he re- moved the door from her apartment and was arrested on complaint of his better half. Among the annoyances visited by Mr. Bunden upon the maiden was that of eating the pie intended for her consump- tion, and he also grossly offended a ris- ing young carpenter whose visits to the domicile were approved, if not brought about, by her aunty. It was hinted by Mrs. Bunden that her husband’'s antip- athy to the lass was caused by a fear that she might supplant him as chief de- pendent upon the complainant, who, al- though a steady and willing tofler in a laundry, could hardly earn enough to comfortably feed, clothe and lodge an- other besides himself. “But,” the Judge Inquired, ‘“‘doesn't he earn some money in his shop?” “If he does he spends it for beer,” was Mrs. Sunden’s reply. “He is very fond of beer, and usually keeps a pitcher of it beside him while he is at work. Once he had a partner, but I got tired feeding both of them, and when I refused to do so any longer the partnership was dis- solved. Now my husband drinks all the beer himself.”” Mr. Sunden showed inclination to wage | economic dispute with his wife, but the Judge quelled the debate in its inciplenicy by pronouncing him guilty of peace dis- | | turbance and ordering his detention in | custody for sentence to-day. DI It was for kicking the door of J. A. Levensaler's residence, ' 400 Steiner street, that Fred R. Sellman was ar- rested about 9 o'clock Sunday evening, and it was his queer behavior in court that caused Judge Mogan to remand him for examination by the Lunacy Commission. While he was in the dock Mr. Sell- man created a sensation by suddenly, and with great agility, climbing the bars and standing unsteadily upon the narrow top cross-bar, about seven feet | from the fioor. Fellow-prisoners reach- | ed up and grasped his legs to prevent him falling - backward, while Bailift Hickey and several volunteers perform- ed similar service with a view to mak- ing it impossible for him to topple for- ward. With considerable difficulty he was returned to the cage, where his | antics conveyed amusement, not un- | mingled with dread, to the unfortunates | confined with him. When he was placed before the bench and asked why he kicked Mr. Leven- saler's door, Mr. Sellman stated that he | arfived here Sunday morning from St.| Louis in response to urgent invita- | a hrother whose baptismal | name he had forgotten, and it was while searching for his fraternal relative. whose address he could not remember, that he sought admittance to the Levensaler home by kicking the door. That was all the Judge could elicit from the man. | Frank Dewey, a decent-appearing man, | who accidentally thrust his elbow | through a cheap pane in a window in | Chinatown and was arrested for mali- | clous mischief, complained that he was kept in the City Prison from 9 o'clock p. m. Saturday until yesterday morning, and refused permission to communicate with friends who would readily have batled him to freedom. He said that he repeatedly expressed a desire to send a message and the prison-keeper repeated- ly told him that if a messenger boy hap- pened to drop in his desire would be gratified, but it never was gratified. “If vou tell the truth,” said the Judge, “I think vou have been treated shame- fully, and I'm inclined to believe you are telling the truth.” Then the charge was dismissed. —————— Sullivan Sues Greggain: D. V. Sullivan filed suit yesterday | against Alex Greggains to dissolve their partnership and for an account- | ing. Sullivan says Greggains has rc- fused to permit him to aid in the man- angement of the business and that he has lost money through such refusal. ! Sulllvan also asks that the court re- i strain the Sheriff from turning over 131700 he recefved through the sale on May 18 of the saloon conducted by the lpnrtners under attachment proceedings until the rights of the plaintiff and all creditors are determined.

Teachers Caught by Quarastine to Receive Pay While Detalned. | The Pacific Coast Company. repre- sented by George Gallagher, won the { fight yesterday for the contract to sup- iply the School Department with coal for the ensuing year. Its bid was the lowest, but Thomas Morton filed a pro- test against awarding the Pacific Coast Company the contract on the ground that it had not complied with the law {in the matter of submitting samples. | The technicality was overruled upon the making of a proper explanation. The department uses from $8000 to $10,- 000 worth of coal in a year, so the con- I tract is a plum worth having. A question of importance to teachers was passed upon by the board, which made a ruling that when a teacher Is detained in quarantine because of the sickness of another he shall receive full pay for the time so detained. The matter was decided at the request of Secretary Barrett, the case of Miss Ag- nes McLaughlin having brought it up. Miss McLaughlin's niece died one week ago and the teacher was ordered by the Board of Health to remain four weeks in quarantine. In cases of scarlet fever the quaran- tine peried is six weeks; of chicken pox, mumps and measles, three weeks, and German measles and whooping cough, two weeks. There are many cases where the teachers are placed in quarantine and the news that they will regeive their salaries during such periods will be pleasing to them. Mrs. T. Jones and Mrs. Dempsey were | appointed janitresses of the Agassiz Primary School in place of J. Devlin, whose resignation was accepted. ——— FALLS ON STATRWAY. 778 Howard street fell on a and dislocated his shoulder. —Willlam. Ryan of y Hall stairway | SAYS HE WAS HELD UP BY A MASKED FOOTPAD H.
