tsStand back. stand back,'' shouted Baliff
Clouse, as he struggled and pulled through
the crowd at the police court yesterday morn
ing, and it was not until he was reinforced
by Gen. Shields that passage way was made
TO the bull pen. One would have thought in
looking at the eager-faced mob of onlookers,
that some world wide celebrity was to be on
exhibition, instead of the score of poor sim
ners who occupied seats in the pen. The
crowd outside the railing was
immense, it painted, pushed, struggled
and craned its neck to catch a glimpse of
the prisoners, and in all of vanity fair you
could not duplicate it. The bailif and
police. officer were kept busy in keeping the
hungry and unkept mob back and the pris-
Oners looked more respectable than did q
majority of the crowd. The interest cen
tered largely in the dozen of unfortunates
who were pulled in the police drag net at the
European hotel early Sunday morning. The
culprits gave the names of Joseph Knutson,
w. Wilson, Robert Wilson, John Snyder,
Mrs. Kennedy, Minnie Boyer, Lizzie Ford,
Ella Anderson, Dora and Ethel Franklin,
and Kittie La Mont. The men
were fined $25 and the women $50 or
twenty days each, with the exception ofKittie
La Mont and Dora and Ethel Franklin, sent
ence in their case being suspended for
the reason that they had not been caught in
company with male mpanions. When the
gay and giddy creatures were arraigned they
tried hard to smile, but the effort was forced,
and 1t was easy to see that the majority
keenly felt the humiliation and disgrace.
The only case Of notable interest in the lot
was that of a woman who concealed her
identity under the name of Lizzie Ford. She
is slender and graceful, of Spanish descent,
with the coal black hair, aquiline features and
flashing eyes OF the women Of her race.
\ few months ago she parted from her hus-
band, and since when she has been leading
a life of shame. When asked yesterday if
she would return to him, she said she would
not live with him if he were lined with gold.
She related a strange story of vicissitudes.
When a child she was stolen by the Indians
and kept in captivity for several years. Then
she married and was divorced from her hus-
band, taking with her child low eight
years of age. A few years ago
hackman Of st. Paul, whom she says became
jealous of her and this led to their separa-
ton Her fine was paid by friend.
The case of Charles and Loretta MOstero
attracted great deal of attention. He is a
spaniard and his wife is portly woman of
thirty, being evidently of Irish or American
descent. They reside on Mississippi street,
and OH Sunday evening they had terrible
row. She claims that on returning home
Sunday evening she caught her hus-
band and the landlady in fd-
gyante delict0, and this led to
a fight during which he beat and bruised
her. The court gave them a sound lecture,
fined them S25 or thirty days each and placed
them under bonds of $3.50 each to keep the
peace. The woman left silk dolman and a
gold watch chain as security for her fine.
An account appeared in yesterdays GLOBE
of the free fight at Wyman's saloon near
Oakland cemetery, in the course of which
one Fitzgerald was tapped on the head with
a beer mallet and couple of shots were
fired by Wyman. Yesterday the par
Elephants, six in all, were arragned and
the hearing was continued to the 18th.
Wyman was put under bail of $3.50 for his
appearance.
Andrew Belgium, Waterman at the street
EAR barn on University avenue, was charged
with disordery conduct and discharging fire
arms. He resides next door to the Supp
family, and the children sometimes make a
sneak at his plum tree and he claims whip
his children. Last Saturday he went home
and fired a couple of shots into the Supp
domcile in order to brighten them. He tes-
titled yesterday that he had fired into the
ground, and after hearing big grist of tes-
tmony the court said that as he had no
doubt been greatly provoked by hrs neigh
boris children he would only fine him $40.
