WANTS DAMAGEs.-Harrison Prindle,
former resident of this city, but now of Sal
Francisco, has sued R. S. Carey & Sons, the
proprietors of the street railway, for $4,000
damages. The case is now being heard by
Judge I. B. McFaraud in Department Two
of the Superior Court 1t appears that OF
the 18th Of July last Prindle got on one Of
the H.street cars, 1T the passenger depot, and
rendered the driver, A. T. Renwick, q silver
quarter of q dollar. The driver took the
coin and handed Mr.. Prindle five car fares.
The latter refused to take the tickets, saying
he only wished to psy for a single fare, > cents.
The driver very gentlemanly told him that,
acting under the instruction Of his employers,
he was not allowed to give change for q 25.
cent piece, but if he had 10-ceut piece he
would give MIN two nickels for it. Mr..
PIin1ls could find among his coins neither a
nickel nor E dime. The driver informed him
that he must make the proper change or
leave the car, which Mr.. Priudle refused to
90, and was therefore elected. He claims
he was choked and otherwise injured. The
diver testifss that Prindle took hold of his
set ana resisted being put off that he
did not choke him, and tried to avoid
using any more force than was
necessary in putting him off the car. The
testimony shows that the company does not
allow the drivers to deviate from the rule
spoken of, except "a to persons leaviug the
city. In Unst case they are not asked to take
the tickets, and if the proper change cannot
be given they are allowed to ride free. Some
Of the drivers testified that the rule had been
broken under some circumstance, which
we're always reported at the office. When
plaintiff rested defendants moved for a non
suit, on the grounds that the rule they had
adopted for change was reasonable one, and
that toe passenger should have rendered the
exact amount Of the fare. The motion was
argued at length BY Henry E1gertOn for
plaintiff, and Grove l.. johnson for defend
ant. The ase is still on trial.

concluded to leave it. With their stolen
funds they proceeded, as they admitted in
Court, to a five cent beer saloon-.he Freier-
icksburg-on X street. between Fifth and
Sixth, and spent So of it for beer. They had
been allowed to frequent this place before,
and it was for the purpose OF getting funds
to buv beer that they committed the theft.
After drinking u1Hl they became somewhat
intoxicated they returned to the butcher
shop and stole the balance OF the money, and
afterwards 5uyied it under the I-street bridge,
on the banks Of China slough. The boys
now occupy cells in the State Prison at
