POLICE COURT.

The Nebraska Potato Man Fails to Put
In An Appearance.
Judge Buckley found Mary Roberts
guilty of being drunk yesterday and sent
her to Jail for twenty-four hours.
Charles Young was too i'll from the eff
fects of an all-night booze to appear in
Court, and his case was continued.
James Mcintosh acknowledged that he
became drunk the 6rst thing when he
stepped into Sacramento but the Court :
lowed him to 60.
The case of William Scott, charged with
battery, was continued until tomorrow.
A similar charge against Frank Dolan
was dismissed, on the filing of stipula-
ton of satisfaction and the payment of
costs.
Toy Sam, charged with grand larceny,
had mis- examination set for to-day. He
was represented by @. T. Jones.
The cases of Pete Green and John Phil
lips, charged with robbery, were continued
until to-day. The reason the continuance
was requested was on account of the alb
sence of the prosecuting witness, who
claimed that he had been swindled by the
defendants. He was nowhere to be found
when the cases were called in Court, al.
though shortly before 10 o'clock he was
seen down stairs at the station-house.
Green, one of the defendants, asked the
Court that he either be tried or dis
charged. He said he had been incarcer-
ated in Jail three or four days, and didn't
think it right that he should be kept in
cell while the officers were searching for
prosecuting witness, who had fled and
was afraid to state his case in Court
Judge Buckley made an order continuing
the case, and meantime releasing Green on
his own recognizance.

"My conclusion is that this appropriation
is available; that the Home has been in
effect State institution for number of
years; that more recently it has become so
by direct and specific Act of the Legisla-
ture; that the institution is conducted for
the support and maintenance of aged per-
sons ia INDECENT circumstances, and that it
does not appear to me beyond reasonable
doubt that the Act making the appropria-
