CRAWFORD. Mrs. Annie O'Gorman épmplained in picturesque German dialect of the | spiteful drenching of her dwelling, 228 | Andover street, with witer from a gar~ | den hose, directed M Patrick Igoe, whose domicile is givided from her | own by a vacant 16¢ 30 feet in width. has been Mr. Igoe's wont, Mrs. O'Gor- man informed Police Judge Mogan, to deluge her property while pretending to sprinkle his' potato patch. His house occupies ‘a loftier site than her on' the slope of ‘ Bernal Heights, but as the intervening soil is extremely absorbent he could, if so in- clined, satnrate his tuber bed without visiting afqueous affliction upon her. His maligious intent was demonstrated by the fact that he conveyed the hose across the lot and swished the stream against tne wall 6f her house, thereby underfining the foundation and thus imperiling the lives of the occupants. “Mid der hoase in his hend he shtood righd oop gloase to der vall und let der vatter sloosh all over id alretty,” Mrs.,O!Gorman averred, in a, dfglect that strongly belied her name. Mr. Igoe denied the impeachment. | His gardening operations, he affirmed, were confined to the daily sprinkling of two small rose bushes, and persons who knew him best could inform the Judge that he was economical in his use of water, as in everything else. As for performing hydraulic excava- tion at short range, that accusation was simply absurd. “There’s a vacant lot bechune this woman’s house an’ me own,” Mr. Igoe admitted. “But,” he added, “no wan th’ throoth an' say- I iver cragsed ut or that I iver wasted me | Shpring Valley wather.” Mrs. O'Brien, who sold the O'Gorman testi- sushed intermittently, and that sald for the dampness complained of by Mrs. A gentleman who dug the | drain for the foundation of the O'Gor- | Judge, man cottage offset this testimony by swearing that he never; encountered any water there other thfin that which came from the Igoe garden hose. “I'll dismiss the case,” said the “and advise you, Mr. Igoe, to wet your rose bushes by means of a sprinkling-can.” . . 3 Charles Barrett and Harvey Malone were partners in a furniture business on Larkin street, near to the Hall, and Mr. Malone caused the arrest of-Mr. Barrett on the charge of bat- tery with a rocking-chair. ‘‘After supper one night” Mr. Ma- lone informed Judge Cabaniss, “I met Mr. Barrett in front of our store and he toldl me he was awaiting the arrival of a logd of furniture. Then he says, ‘What are you doing here? You must | be a Michael Feeney—a stool pigeon.’ Just then the load of furniture came | up, and: he took a rocking-chair and hit me on the head with it.” Williem J. Lunnmy, who was with the wagon . containing the furniture, testified |'that the blow on the head was accl- | dental, as Mr. Malone stépped in the path of Mr. Barreft while the latter was conveying the chair from vehicle to store | and unable to see.ahead. | the Bulletin. | of Cora A.

But even that, if he had known that women and children homeward bound from a matinee were passing by in great ‘num- ber while he argued with the cigar deal- er his language would have been less of- fensive to ears polite.' Judge Fritz fined him $5. « o o Mrs. Emma Egan of 118 Grant avenue was pronounced guilty of having sys- tematically swindled Mrs. Ella Shannon of 16 Turk street out of possession. of a the same for $60 and either appropriating the money to her own use or losing it by betting on a horse race at Emeryville. The testimony before . Judge Mogan showed that for a,dozen years Mrs. Egan has been ‘‘playing the. ponies,” and. that prior to ébtaining. the earrings from Mrs. Shannon, whom she had then known only three ‘weeks, $40 of that lady’s money had been wagered and lost by her. The defense was that after pawning the ear- rings Mrs. Egan offered the 30 to Mrs. Shannon, who told her to keep it and bet it with her own money. Thus testified Mrs. Cook of the Hotel Wentworth, Mrs. Flannery, a daughter of Mrs. Egan, and Mrs. Egan herself. Mrs. Shannon, how- ever, averred’ that' Mrs. Egan visited her and borrowed the earrings by represent- Ing that she could obtain more money from a certain pawnbroker than could their owner. The Judge suspended sen- tence to afford Mrs. Egan time in which to return the earrings to Mrs. Shannon. . s e Eugene E. Trever, keeper of a lodg- ing-house at 759 Howard street, smote the head of Carl Barnett with a heavy water pitcher because Carl refused to va cate ‘his apartment until the expiration of the week of occupancy, for which he had paid rental in advance, and - Carl displayed to Judge Mogan an artistic de- sign in sticking plaster and declared it covered a. deep cut made. by Bugene's blow. FEugene tried to induce the court to submit to a verbose recountal of his previous dealings with Carl, but the court pleaded paucity of time and pronounced him guilty of battery. Sentence to-day.

" Und id vasn'd mine tog, any- i how.” Mr. Schwab's corpulency was pleaded in explanation of his inability .to see the dog as it walked a yard in advance of him.. As. the court had once seen a fun ny picture of a similar situation he ap- parently questioned the defendant's veracity, but the defendant’s corpulency | ‘was there in evidence, and the complain- ing, policeman, Park Officer Gardiner, had stated that the dog;was diminutive and probably. -unobserved. s by . Mr. Schwab, close to whose feet it steadily clung. His Honor then gave himself a week to think over the remarkable living reproduction of the picture that had excited his youth- ful risibles. s s s The youthful son of Jong Mong Sing, esteemed in Chinese mercantile circles, cast jibes at Signor Guiseppl Dangalo as that ge.tleman walked down Clay street, near to.Dupont, and when the signor picked up a small fragment of rock and hurled it with such accuracy of aim as to wound his tormentor’s head there was much blowing of whistles and guttural shouting and other forms of hul- labaloo indulged in by the many celestial witnesses of the deed. Subsequently | there appeared in the tribunal of Judge Mogan many grave and dignified Mongol- fan merchants to see to it that justice was dedlt to the assailant of Jong Mong Sing’'s first-born and life-light and they were rewarded by witnessing the upright Judge find the accused one guilty of bat- tery.and invite him to reappear to-day for sentence. ¢ e . A Greek peddler accused of obstructing | a thoroughfare with his fruit wagon could not speak a word of English, and as there is no official interpreter of the language of Greece the court of Judge Cabaniss was held at a standstill until a volunteer linguist relleved the situa- tion. Thereupon the Judge directed the framing of a second appeal to the Board of. Supervisors to fill the aching void, and all the magistrates wiil sign it. ises. His vigll Was rewarded at 4 o’clock yestérday' morning by the’ discovery that Edward Bresnan, driver of a milk wagon for the Mill Valley Dairy, had stopped his vehicle neat to tHe Kelley dwelling and, with a companioft,” entered ‘the Kel- ley yard, ascended the back stairway and taken two bottles of beer from the icebox. When the officer sprang at the thieves, Bresnan's companion' fled, but was subsequently found concealed in a barn with another youth, who had been | left in the wagon while the robbery was being perpetrated. They were booked as Fred McKenzie and Wiillam O’Brien. When arraigned before: Judge Mogan the trio told- varying storfes and they were ordered -to be det led In separate cells until the truth be ascertained as to which of-:them -was primarily re- the robbery. Bresnan claimed that he was forced by his fellow- defendant to become a thief. e e “Do you mean fo tell me,” said Judge Fritz to Charles Schwab, accused of vio- lating a park ordinance by airing a ca- nine in Portsmouth square, “that you were unaware the dog accompanied you?” | “Yaw,” replied Mr. Schwab; “I didn’t see der tog till der boleéceman poinded ADVERTISEMENTS.

Baird, son of Mrs. Veron- ica Baird, his one-fourth interest in A good time for a little 1520 acres of land in Contra Costa County, valued at $100 an acre, in ad- dition to an attorney's fee of $1000, for which & jury in Judge Graham’s court gave judgment against him yesterday. Attorneys Garoutte and Goodwin se- cured the verdict for services rendered young Baird. Last August young Baird, according to his own admission, went on a spree, with the result that his business facul- ties were largely damaged. While in this condition he gave to Elmer West- lake an opfion on his interest in the Contra Costa lands. the price being fixed in the option at $10 an acre. When Baird came out of his alcoholic stupor he realized that he had made a bad bar- gain and employed Garoutte and Good- win to bring suit to set aside the op- tion. Shortly after the suit was filled young Baird again invaded the tender- loin and between assaults on the cock- tail citadels he again met Westlake. This time he sold the Contra Costa propertiés outright to Westlake at a price said to be greatly less than their value. This, of course, ended the suit to set aside the original optiom, but Garoutte and Goodwin demanded a fee of $1000. Baird refused to pay it, with the result that suit was brought, the attorrfeys assigning their ' claim to George Golder, a grocer at 1416 How- ard street. Golder joined the suit for the fee with several claims on promis- sory notes, aggregating about $9000. and Baird admitted judgment on all but the fee. The trial on the claim for a fee was' short. W. N. Goodwin appeared for the assignee and John S. Partridge for Mrs. Veronica Baird, who, since her son’s last escapade, was appointed his guardian. Goodwin and Reginald Mc- Colgan wert the only witnesses exam- ined. They recited the story given and judgment against the gay young man quickly followed. Pure food laws are good.

Willlam Duhs, a barber who was em- ployed at 29 Geary street, and who Iived with his family at 822 Ellis street, com- mitted suicide in Golden Gate Park last evening by shooting himself. The suicide rode to the scene of his death on a bi- cycle and was attired in bicyele costume. He sat on a bench and fired two shots at himself from an old-fashioned 3s-caliber revolver. The bullet that caused death penetrated his head and the other was found in his chest. The body was discovered by Thomas Taylor, a park employe. It was still in a sitting position and the revolver lay in the lap. When the Morgue officials took charge of the case cards bearing the name of Duhs gave the first clew to iden- tification, which was strengthened by the inscription “A. L. to W. D,, 1%2,'_ on the inside of a gold band ring found on one of the fingers. There wasjalso a hand- kerchief with the inftial #W." on it. From the appearance of the body it is thought the man had suffered from con- sumption and it is possible that ill health prompted his act. William Glindemann, a Third street jeweler, called at the Morgue late last night and identified the dead man. He said Duhs married his sister several years ago ahd had lived a happy life, so far as was ‘known. He had been in delicate health, but was never known to contem- plate suicide.
