THE COURTS.
A FATHER GIVEN POSSESSION OF
HIS CHILD.
Years-Bevione VS.. Nicolas-Bull VS..
Strong Again on Trial.

out in department one of the superior
court several days ago by Joe Ennis to
regain possession of his 6-year-old child,
Susie Ennis, who was in the keeping of
her maternal grandmother. Mrs. Jora
Grialda. The writ was made returna-
BILE yesterday morning, and at the
appointed time all of the par
ties were in court. Ennis stated
that he had married the mother
of the child about seven years
ago and had lived with her three years.
They had but one child, and not long
after its birth Mrs. Ennis left her hus-
band and went to live with another
man, leaving Susie with its father. En-
mis- put the child into the keeping of
woman whom he could trust, and the
latter kept her until last February,
when she moved to San Francisco. At
that time Jora Grialda, the child's
grandmother, obtained possession ofAher
and had since refused to give her up.
Shortly after this Ennis swore out
writ to obtain possession of his daugh-
ter, but no action was taken by the
court, because Mrs. Grialda promised to
put Susie in the Sisters school within a
certain time. This was not done, how
ever, and another writ was obtained, the
case coming up yesterday. After hear
ing testimony as to Ennis's character,
the court awarded the custody of the
child to its father, and the latter bore
her off triumphantly. Ennis will con-
sign his daughter to the care of the sis
| ters.
THREE YEARS IN FOLSOM.
Albert Pico, alias Pece, was yesterday
sentenced to Imprisonment for three
years in Folsom by Judge Smith for the
embezzlement of horse and buggy
from livery stable keeper named Rob-
ertson ON March 30. Pico pleaded not
guilty at first and after an examination
was held to answer. On MONDAY he
withdrew this plea and pleaded guilty.
The rig, which was valued at $400, was
rented by Pico on the date above named
and part of it, the buggy, was sold by
him on the same day to liveIyman in
another part of town. The horse was
not disposed of till the next day, when
Pico made bargain with different
person for it for 500. The evidence
against him was conclusive.
BEvIoNE VS.. NICOLAS.
Il
olas, suit for $500 damages alleged to
have been caused by the defendant tear
ing down the wall of the PLAINTIFF sa-
loon, while he was occupying it and
against his protest, was on trial before a
Jury in department four yesterday. The
plaintiff asserts that Nicolas, who was
the owner of building at the corner of
Bellevue avenue and New High street,
portion of which Bevione rented, on Oc-
tober l, 1890, put force OF men at work
on the place and tore out brick wall on
the side of his saloon, letting in the rain
and damaging his stock, before it was
replaced by wooden partition. The
trial will be continued today.
BULL VS.. STRONG.
The long-fought case of Alpheus Bull
VS.. G. w. and Hattie w. Strong, which
was commenced in 1886, and has been to
the supreme court three times, was up
for argument in Judge Wade's court yes
terdav. The present plaintiff, son of
! the original plaintiff in the case, is at
tempting to foreclose trust deed for
certain lands at Downey, given by the
defendants to his father to cover adj
vances made on mine which Bull and
| Strong were working together in Placer
county. The contention of the defend
ants is that the deed was security only
for an advance of $3000 but plaintiff
claims that it was made to cover all ad
vances made by Bull to his partners,
which amounted to $11, 200. The argu-
ment is not yet completed. Wells, Mon
roe & Lee appear for the plaintiff, and
Bicknell, White, Chapman and Hen
bricks for the defendants.
