Judge Buckley Disposes of Several Very
Tough Cases.
Quite number of tough-looking cases graced
the dock in the Police Court yesterday. Bruce
Creighton, alias Healey. was charged with
carrying concealed weapons. Creighton is an
old convict. He has served two sentences in
the Folsom prison, one from this county and
one from San Joaquin, and is described as being
a bad and desperate individual. Such convicts
as Creighton are known to the officials, and
when they go prowling around the city at late
and unusual hours of the night the police en-
deavor to keep close watch upon them. About
5oclock a. N. few days since officer Carroll
saw him emerge from q dark alley on Third
street and placed him under arrest. Creighton
made no objection To going to the city prison.
but asked. as favor, that the officer step to the
RECORD UNION Office only a block distant, as
he desired to sly 2 word to friend The officer
said ''all right and they started for the paper
Office. In front of the ice house, on Third

followed the runaway into the alley, fired a
couple of shots at him which brought the rascal
ito stand-still. He brew up bis hands, begged
the officer not 10 shoot again and walked quietly
TO prison. He was given seven days in the
Changing.
Charles Thompson, another tough character,
was convicted on similar charge and sent to
Jail for one week.
John Lynch, one of very tough gang who
was arrested for Yagraney, asked for a continu-
ance of his case claiming that if given time he
could prove that he was an honest citizen,
hard-working man, and that his sole purpose in
this city was 10 try and get position as Com
mittee Clerk IN the Legislature"
Jim Martin and Jack German, two more OF
the class who toll not, neither do they spin,"
were convicted of vagrancy. Their sentences
will be pronounced to-day.

The stockton Baseball Club is After

The way Of the professional "ball tosser''
seems TO be a hard one. They draw princely
salaries, but are always broke, ever on the bor-
row and never out of trouble. George Borchers
Sacramento raised boy, distir guished himself
on the diamond fields of this State to such
degree that he assembled like meteor. So
great was his fame as a twirler that he was
heard of in that little town by the lakes which
they call Chicago They offered him q hand
some salary and George Departed for the pork
packing metropolis in high feather. He how
ever, C luld not stand prosperity, soon became
an intolerable nuisance, was discharged in dis
grace and soon found himself gin-mill hero
ing to eat beer glass in a ten-cent dive. One
& The Police Court Judges found him guilty and
Sentenced him to 0 days imprisonment, but
withheld the commitment to give Borchers time
to HE himself to California. George had no
further use for Chicago he stood not upon the
order of his going but "hied" himself TO the
west. His unsavory record, however, had pre-
ceded him and on his arrival there was no one
mean enough TO do him honor
Since his return to this coast he has not been
demonstrative Yesterday an officer came over
from the City of Win1mills' with a warrant
issued for BoIcherS' arrest. and he was securing
charged that after Boichers was released by The
ChIeagoes he signed 10 play with the Stockton
Club, and on the strength of that agreement
was advanced S200. Borchers poeketed the
bullion and il is understood has said he will not
fulfil his engagement.

Once and while justice gets in its work, aud
it surely was eose yesterday In the Auburn
Superior Court when A. C. Bassefs, who was
convicted Of an attempt 10 murder, came up for
sentence. a dispatch to the RECORD Union
from that place last evening says:
"a. c. Bassett. q one-armed young reprobate,
commonly called Beast Bassett was sentenced
to-day in the Superior Court 10 sixteen years
on two convictions of attempting 70 kill his
mistress While going from the Courtroom 10
tie County Jsil he escaped nom the officers,
though some lively shooting was done to stop
him. He was soon captured in the city limits
and will go to San Quentin in the morning. He
has been terror to the good citizens OF the
lower end of the county, and recently would
have been robbed, but for the interposiiion of
an officer, for shooting at a woman"
Bassett well deserves the name given him by
the Auburn reporter Ifthere was ever human
being who deserves the name of Least, it is that
one-srmed rascal whose only aim in life aFpar-
emily was to lure young girls from the path of
virtue, and once in his power no cruelty was too
severe for him to intiict upon them. His ex-
PLOTS in this city last fair lime and previous to
