The Supreme Court esterday denied the
petition of o. F. Cheney 10 be released
from custody. Cheney was convicted OF
carrying weapon concealed, and sentenced
to pay a fine of $3.50, with the alternative OF
spending go days in the County jail On
habeas corpus it was cOntended for him
that the ordinance prohibiting the carrying
of weapons concealed is repugnant to the
Consti tuition Of the State, and that the pen
atty fixed by the court is excessive.
In its decision the court said that 1t Is
wel-recognizsd TACT that the unrestricted
habit Of carrying weapons concealed IS the
source of much crime aud frequently leads
to breaches of the peace and causeless
homicides which would not otherwise occur.
The majority of citizens have no desire or
wish to carry such weapons, and 1t is often
the case that the innocent byStander is
made to suffer for the unntended act of an-
other, who in the heat of passion attributes
to himself some fancicd insult or trivial
injury.
1t is to protect the law-abiding citizen, as
well as 10 prevent a breach of the peace,
that the ordinance was passed. BY Its terms
ample provision is made for those whose
necessities of life or of occupation require
protec tiOn. Hoving the right TO pass the
ordinance, the city has the right to pre-
scribe any penalty for its violation. AS
the Legislature has fixed the limit at $1,000,
it follows that the penalty prescribed by
the ordinance is not Illegal.

Heinrich Opitz headed an odd procession
that marched into Police Court yesterday.
He was followed by three bare-foOted little
children and shabbily attired woman,
carrying an infant in her arms. 1t seems
that these children were the innocent cause
of al encounter between their parents and
a Mexican woman named Saturina Vale.
Optiz is a poor shoemaker and recently ar
rived from Hamburg with his family. He
went to live in rookery on Sherwood place.
They could speak nothing but German and
their neigh bors spoke only Spanish. When
the children OF the families had some trouble,
the parents became involved in a lively fight.
OpItZ and his wife were accused of battery.
but in court he produced handful of his
beard, which he said Mrs. Vale had pulled
out. 1he case against Opitz was continued
and against his wife dismissed. Later in
the day the officers of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children provided
the little ones with good warm clothing.

An Angry Woman Assails Young Leon
Dennery.


An exciting affray occurred in front of
the Lick House on Montgomery street about
10 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs. Emma
Woodruff. a widow who conducts lodging
house at 325 Larkin street, overhauled Leon
Dennery. Secretary of the Columbia Build
ing and Loan Association, and gave him q
severe beating with rawhide.
After she had slashed him half dozen
times over the head and face, he retreated
and ran into his office, closely pursued by
the infuriatcd woman. Then he tried to
hold his assailant at bay by seizing her In
his arms. Officers Mahoney and O'Cunnor
arrested both and charged thGin with bat
terry. Both secured their release by depos-
iting $40 cash bail.
The trouble seems to have grown out Of
the fact that Dennery and his wife, who
roomed at Mrs. Woodruff's house, refused
to vacate when requested to do so. She
claims that he destroyed her furniture and
added insult to injury. Recently she sued
him for S299 damages, but Justice Cook de-
cided the case against her. Dennery denies
that he wrecked her furniture and brio a.
brac before leaving her house.
