Mrs. n was intrusted with entire control | culinary department, 'and when'| Mr. Hansen arrived home, after’ stimu- ating his appetite at various dispensa- ries of bitters, he was horrified te find | her absent and the turkey scorching to a | crisp. If the smoking fowl had been !ubrlcaled! right there and then-its spoliation might | “have been averted, but instead of doing that Mr. Hansen went forth in anger. to discover and chastise her: who had be- trayed his trust. He found her engaged | | in animated debate with a nextsdoor ma- | tron, the question at issie being whether | the cranberry sauce should be served on| the plate containing the meat .or as & side dish. One. glance at Mr. Hansen's countenance sufficed to.induce. both la- dles to leave the discussion. undecided. Mrs. Hansen hastened back to her cook | range and. began to deluge ‘the turkey | with dripping, but ere she had adminis- | tered half a dozen ladelfuls of the need- ed gravy her husband, at imminent risk of burning his hand, seized the charred | and sputtering carcass and flung it at her. - Then he drew his revolver and frightened her tosfight, as averred-in her complaint to the police. Mrs, Hanser's statement will probably be heard this morning. C i “I'll- giye you thirty days - imprison- [ ment,” said’ Judge Cabaniss to Willlam | H.

L ) : As a result of his association with the Misses May Harris and Edith Call (both colored) one recent evening.at Turk and Jonés streets, Harry Lesley, who | says he is a doorkeeper at an O'Far- | rell-street vaudeville house, accuses | the women of having stolen from him a pocket-book containing a bank check for $100, a gold nugget worth $5 and-a diamond valued at $100. Judge Conlan {'will hear all the unlovely detalls next Friday. . August Bredfeld, whose pistol prac: tice at the Ferry station last Thursday morning scared a multitude of ‘intend- ing trans-bay passengers,. was in- structed and arralgned-before Judge Mogan, who set the hearing for Decem- Ler 6. Mr. Bredfeld is accused of at- tempt to murder by Louis Springmeyer, but the aefense contends that the two bullets fired were not aimed at any to attract police .attention and thus save the man with the pistol from im- pending assault by the complainant.

When he succeeded in extricating himself his tem- , Per had flown beyond his control, and, seizing such articles of furniture as wereé light enough to serve his purpose, he huiled them through the window to the street, among such articles being pictures and mirrors and other things that comsci- éntious furniture movers handle with care.

When the arrest was finally gffected the flat’ was almost bare. “¥I'm sorry 1 dane it, an’ 'm wiiling to pay- for what I broke,” said Mr. Cody, in apparently sincere contrition, to.Judge Fritz, and as the owner of the shattered furniture was acquiescent-and Patrolman Winzler satisfied, the case was.so dis- posed of. - .
