ANOTHER ROBBERY. = Night before last
about midnight rancher by the name of
Balzer Raguth while on NJ street, between
Third and Fourth, was attacked by two men
and robbed of small sum of money, about
81. He was caught by the throat and thrown
down, aud then held by one of the parties
while the other robbed him, and then after
kicking him severely they ran. He at once
reported it to the police, and immediately
after officers Ferral and Rider arrested Mike
Bennett, alias Muldoon, at an establishment
on L street, whom Raguth recognized at the
station as the man VINO TOOK the money. L eS-
terday afternoon the same officers arrested
the other man concerned in the affair, who
proved to be w. G. Robertson, hoodlum re-
Gently from San Francisco. They are both
in the city jail, and win be examined by
Judge Henry to-day.
CASE DIsMIssED.-Th case of Jerry Cha
ven, arrested for indecent exposure of his per-
son in Capitol Park, was yesterday dismissed.
His crime was only witnessed by females,
and no one who could swear to the facts was
willing to appear in the Police Court for the
purpose, and therefore the Judge could only
dismiss the case which is greatly to be re-
GREETED. The same villain was arrested for
the same offense committed in the Capitol
Park several years ago, and present convic-
ton would have insured him the severest
penalty of the law.
FALSE PRETENsFs. In the Superior Court
yesterday Wallace MCPHERSON, the SELF
styled State Gardener, and who was ar
rested for obtaining money under false pre-
lenses by assuming to occupy that position
and borrowing money upon promises of APP
pointing to positions in the Estate Garden"
was arraigned and pleaded guilty. He then
waived legal time and asked immediate dis
position Of his case, which the Court granted
by sentencing him to pay fine of $50, or be
confined in the County Jail for 80 days.
