She Proves Police Judge Mogan Abandons Effort to Stem Her Lingual Output. Lee e BY JAMES C. CRAWFORD. Police Judge Mogan sat helpless while Miss Catherine Menton volubly admitted that she had slapped the face of Thomas | McKenzie, and with great prolixity al- leged\the provocation therefor. But not until he had thrice raised his right hand in repressing gesture—the manual signal that attorneys respect and prompts bailiffs to glower menacingly at whisper- ing chair-warmers—did his Honor aban- don endeavor to stay the lady's torren- tlal flow of words. Then, with head bowed in ackuowledgment of defeat he passively hearkened. Quoth she: “The very idea of thinking that I did not have good cause for hitting him why he eaid all kinds of things about me and he can’t deny that he told my I wasn't respectable do you | think T was going to stand anything like that no indeed not if it was the last act of my life I would do it again if the same thing were to happen that's all I have to say about it (breath intake) any one who knows me can tell you that I'm not what he said I am because I'm & bookkeeper and in 1900 I won the con- test for the most popular girl in the Western States and I can bring you the prize to show for it and there's lots of people who will come here and testify that I'm as good as he is or ever knew how to be that's all I have to say about it (breath intake) if people think they can talk behind ladles’ backs and say | things that they wouldn’'t dare to say to their faces and then get away with it they’'re mistaken that’s all I have to say about it a lady has nothing but her character and if she lets anybody run it down and don't get even she's fool- ish that's all I have to say about it.” (Breath intake.) Ere her tongue could resume wagging the Judge hastily bade her bring her prize and her character witnesses to-day, and the ever-vigilant Bailiff Mahoney escorted her from the stand. The face slapping occurred’ near Mr. McKenzie's lodging-house, 1024 Howard street. Mr. McKenzie denies that he ever traduced the putative feminine idol of the Western States in 1900. She is about 3) years of age, and comgly enough of form and feature to be a dangerous entry in a beauty—which is equivalent to pop- ularity—contest in this cr any other civ- | Mized land. Mrs. Gussie Wallace smiled when Judge Mogan fined her $20 for having expector- ated in the face of Mrs. Minnle Switzer, and Mrs. Sadie Bernstein also smiled when the same magistrate fined her $10 for having knocked down and pummeled | the same lady on the first block of Har- riet street. His Honor ignored Mrs. Switzer's request that Mrs. Bernstein be compelled to pay her $ as compensation for physical punishment received. « .o John Cantor, Charles Johmson, George Gillan and John Devinchy, arrested and booked for vagrancy by Patrolman Skain, collectiyely pleaded not gullty, and Individually alleged the following Mr. Cantor, player of snare drum in dance hall; Mr. Devinchy, ditto; Mr. Gillan, floor manager in dance hall; Mr. Johnson, triangle player in dance hall. When arrested at 2 o'clock a. m., on Pacific street, it was averred by coun- sel, they were awaiting their respective female consorts to conclude Terpsichorean labor. in the harmonic life of the Barbary Coast, for the four promoters thereof were dismissed by Judge Mogan. i e “Der demdation vass so shdrong und I vass so weak,” sald Mrs’ Amelia Winters, on trial for shoplifting, ‘“dot I yust couldn’t hellup schwipin’ dose dings.” The things she “swiped'” were laces val- ued at $20, and the scene of her‘larcenous operation was the Emporium department store. Her artless confession, coupled with the pleadings advanced in her be- half by reputable persons who averred that they knew her.to be a sober and in- dustrious cooklady, prompted Judge Shortall to fine her exactly the value of b lunders - vass mine first dime ter shdcal” she informed his Honor, “und ia vill nefer heppens again,” she gratefully as- sured him. . . Ben A. Bhepston, driver of -a delivery wagon for Hale Brothers’ department store, had twice been reprimanded by his employers for carelessness in making re- turn of money collected by him ere they had him arrested on a petty larceny charge. When reminded that he had neg- lected to turn in sums réceived for C. O. D. deliveries he pleaded forgetfulness, but so palpable was his dishonest intent when he clung to $10 pald him by Mrs. Cash, residing on the 1300 block of Butter street, to whom he conveyed two barrels of jelly glasses, that his punishment was deemed advisable. Judge Conlan will sentence him to-day for petty larceny. .« s - Six months’ confinement in the County Jail was the punishment prescribed by Judge Mogan for Mrs. Mary Fish of 517 McAllister street, who dragged her two little children through a rainstorm while | from the time it is brewed until it is she was helplessly iIntoxicated. band, a pressman, told the court that the woman was a chronic inebriate, and his statement was corroborated by the neighbors, who informed the police of her conduct. The little ones are being cared for by the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. o lalig Mrs, Kate Foley of 2198 Folsom street did not dissemble her indignation when Judge Cabaniss intimated his intention to dismiss her burglary complaint against Richard Lyons, whom she accused of having invaded her dwelling through a window when the clock hands indicated 2 p. m. and his every movement was glar- ingly shone upon by a street arc-light. After summing up the ony, opining that the t's to enter the house was There will be no immediate void” testimony, defendan mpting | . instead larcenous, his Honor said, “Therefore I hardly see my way clear to hold him,” and Mrs. Foley did not walt to hear more. Springing from her seat, in the front row, of auditorium chairs, she twice stamped her foot angrily and then swept with majestic stride from the courtroom. Prior to that she had been sharply fep- rimanded for interrupting testimony and insisting on the Judge examining a dia- gram of her home and its environment. On direct examination she swore that for ten consecutive minutes she held the de- fendant at pistol-point and this ‘Dbluffed him to a standstill.” $Eie. o F. N. Simmons, manager of one of the departments in Raphael's clothing store, failed to appear before Judge Mogan to answer the battery charge filed against him by Melville Marx, manager of the Rightway shoe store, and a bench war- rant was issued for his rearrest. Mr. Marx complained that Mr. Sim- mons, while intoxicated, visited the Rightway establishment to purchase footgear, and while a shoe was being fitted on one of his feet he suddenly be- came abusive and then assaulted the complainant by striking and also kick- ing. It is understood that Mr. Simmons will plead provocation and, if permitted, will exhibit an enlarged toe-joint which was cruelly pinched during the trying-on pro- cess. S .. With a brand new white hat, of the favorite ‘“pansy” shape, perched upon her raven coiffure, Miss Margaret Gon- zales, youthful and olive-complexioned, intimated to Judge Mogan that the pub- lished tidings of her arrest for vagrancy would convey a keen shock to the most select Spanish soclal fabric of Monterey, ot =2 of/ which she had been a much-petted ornament prior to her migration north- ward. “’'Tain’t myself I'm worryin’' about,” she continued, “for, of course, this charge can’t stick; but about what them high- toned folks of mine will think when they see about me in th’' papers. After givin’ me th’ iddycation I've got they’'ll think it'’s a nice thing I'm in sich a fix as this.” “Family well-to-do, I suppose?” Honor remarked, interrogatively. “MTain’t so much that they're rich,” replied Miss Gonzales, “but that they’'re so high-toned. They'll think that me bein’ pinched is an awful thing, an’ they'll be ashamed to look their high- toneti friends in th’ face.” She chewed gum dejectedly until the complaining policeman testified she was employed as a kitchen girl at Seventh and Mission streets when he arrested her for disorderly conduct at.1 &.m. on the Barbary Coast. Then she removed her gum, glared at him contemptuously, popped it back in her mouth and resumed its mastication. As for her having patriclan family con- nections at Monterey or anywhere else, the officer composedly continued, that was tommyrot, for to his personal knowl- edge, she had been ‘‘coasting” nightly for many months past. “Well,” she snapped, without removing her gum, “can’t a girl coast an’ have high-toned folks?” “I'm sorry to acknowledge that a girl can,” responded the Judge, “but TI'm doubtful that your family’s pride will be humbled by the news of your arrest. You are now at liberty to gq to Monterey or gnywhere else you may choose, except" the Barbary Coast, and if you are ar- rested there again-and brought before me T'll give you six months.” —_———————— — A PLAIN STATEMENT. Quality of Beer Depends Upon Superi- ority of Materials, Treatment and Maturity. Purity 1s a universal essential in all beers. The observance of cleanliness and sterilization will secure it. Healthfulness, combined with flavor and taste, constitutes real quality, and these are impossible without the very best materials and the highest order of treatment. This is what sclence and experience teach. 1 Quality, depending upon the character of materials and the methods employed, is the real goal for competition among brewers. Materials: To provide the public with a really good, palatable and wholesome beer of the highest quality, we use the best barley- malt, the highest grade hops, superior yeast, and In our pale beers a small percentage of rice. 1In gll our beers we use the best and pur- est materials, recardless of ' Corn we never use, although it is not ex- cluded by authority, and has the advantage of cheapness. We use no substitute of any kind to reduce our expense. We spare neither money nor care to fortify and increasé our well-earned and long-established reputation. Treatment and Maturity: We employ only the most modern methods in 7 our lat- est acquisition being 200 glass lined steel tanks made by the Pfaudler Co. of Rochester, N. Y. The beer, after leaving the brew kettles, is conveyed " to glass-enameled fermenting vats.

French m HUSBAND HOLDS WARM LETTER John H. Park Tells Judge Bloss How He Came to Se- verely Criticise His Wife SHE ASKS FOR DIVORCE Asserts That Cruelty of Her Husband Drove Her to Find Surcease in Drink R DN, < Mrs. Efffie L, Park, who claims Mills College as her alma mater, tearfully confessed in Judge Sloss’ court yester- day, while prosecuting her suit for divorce from John H. Park, that indeea she had frequently partaken of wine till she was exceedingly dizzy, “but,” she explained with a flash of anger in her voice, “it was my husband’'s mis- treatment that drove me to the habit.” Then in further explanation she sald that it had been a long time since she drank, for a six weeks' course of Christian Science, administered to her at Kenflworth by Mesdames Smith and ‘Woods, freed her of all desire for alco- hol and filled her heart with a desire to do only that which was right. In support of her charges of cruelty Mrs. Park asserted that her husband had destroyed her peace of mind by ac- cusing -her of wrongful actions, even going S0 far as to assert that he ac- cused her of the commission of unwife- 1y acts in her own father's home. With- out hesitation Park admitted that he ha@ so accused his wife, but, he sgid, his purpose was not to humiliate her but to shame her, if possible, into a proper course of conduct. Then in support of his allegation that he had the right to discipline his wits, his attorney presented a letter that had 'been written from Seattle to Mrs. Park, supposedly by one Dickie, who signed himself, “Lovingly, Boy.” This Iletter, said Park, had been recovered, slightly scorched, from a stove into which Mrs. Park threw it in an endeavor to pre- vent exposure. In this document “Boy” demonstrates great skill as a descript- ive writer and unusual ardor as a lover. In part he wrote: i “I am standing now where I can look over the peaceful scene and the clouds are lifted just high enough so that I can see the snowcapped peaks. They seém to be chiding me for what I am about to do. but I cannot restrain myself longer. When I think of you the heat rushes into my blood and not even medicine will control my love. 1 wish that I could have you just one hour so that I could press your lips to mine and let our souls meet in love. Ah, then there would be a meeting of the great electrical currents that have been utilized by and have made Marcdni fa- mous.” The receipt of this letter by Mrs. Park, say§ her husband, gave him the right to speak harshly to her. Then Miss Lydia Lane, long a servant in the Park home, tbld how Mrs. Park had frequently drunk to excess, had con- fessed to having dined with men in French restaurants and had neglected her home and daughter, Mary. Judge Sloss will hear more testimony to-day. Decrees of divorce were granted yes- terday to Esther from Erion Gibbons for willful neglect, Lesetta E. from Thomas M. Hyland for extreme cruelty, Clyde C. from Gertrude McAtee for de- sertion and John from Ellen Mullen for habitual intemperance. Mullen is a po- liceman. He was given the custody of his minor children. Sufts for divorce were flled yester- day by Max against Eva Levy for de- sertion, Harry against Isabella Ockey for desertion, Clarence against Maud Gessler for desertion, George against Belle Wood for desertion, Elizabeth F. against Carleton J. Ennis for habitual intemperance, Annie 8. against Olof P. Walen for failure to provide. E. H. against Margaret Fahey for habitual intemperance and Bertha M. against Archie Hutchinson. Mrs. Hutchinson al- leges that at the time she married her husband he was of unsound mind, a fact that she did not learn until some time after the wedding. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Among the heavy stockholders of the winning company are well known ‘residents of San Francisco, Chicago and New York. The two suits were originally brought some’ years ago before- Judge Beatty in the Federal Court for the District of Idaho, and every inch of ground was stubbornly contested in trials consuming several weeks. In each case the decision of the trial court was squarely in favor of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Com- pany, after which appeals were taken to the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals sitting in this city, and the de- cisions of the lower court were sustained. The cases were then carrled to the United States Supreme Court on petl- tions for writs of certiorar! In both cases, and on direct appeal in one. On the 8th inst. the Supreme Court denied the writs and dismissed the appeal, thus effectually disposing of the suits. Some novel and difficult legal questions were- involved in both suits, as well as in the first suit, which, for convenience, will be called the Stemwinder case. SOME NOVEL POINTS. In this case the Stemwinder claim, owned by the Bunker Hill Company, was admitted by both parties to contain the top or apex of a veln crossing both of its end lines, though it was contended by predecessors in interest to the present Federal Company that as the vein is very wide only a portion of the width of the apex is covered by this claim. Owning the apex, under the well known extralateral right law the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Company is entitled to fol- low its veln downward on its dip beyona the limit of its side line as long as It does not come in conflict with extralat- eral rights based on a prior location. It had followed its ore bodies down to a point where they entered a segment of the veln covered by the extralateral rights of the Last Chance claim, a prior location, and the question ‘whether they jump over the Last Chance segment and resume their extralateral rights be- yond, where opposed to those of clalms Junior in location. The present decision says that they can. Another point raised in the Stemwinder case is due to the con- dition of its location. It is an unpatented claim and its northerly end line is wholly Company that the apex of the vein crossed both the northerly and southerly side lines of its claim and that therefors in law these would become its end lines and its extralateral rights would lie be- tween planes bounded by such lnes. Their opponents admitted the crossing of the south side line, but contended that the vein was of sufficient width that a large part of the apex would pass out of the west end line and that therefore extralateral rights would not lle In a westerly direction as contended by the Bunker Hill Company, but southerly in the direction of the original end lines of the claim. In the Bunker Hill case the Supreme Court decided that the vein is only about 250 feet wide and that, there- fore, no part of its apex can pass through the westerly end line of the claim as located. This fact determines the original side lines of the claim to be legal end lines and the‘court held that these should define the extralateral rights of th claims downward and to the west regard less of whether, in so doing, its owmers were following more nearly on the strike than the dip of the vein.
