Mr.. s. P. Young, receiver of the Califor-

forw rded to the Comptroller of the Cur

dividend on all claims proved against his
trust, the whole of the principal having

"Well, you con imagine what n stir

before the judge, who gravely asked
what the charge was.
'Assaulting woman, spoke up the
New Yorker.

"'He ran up to my daughter on the
street and kissed her.
He kissed this lovely lady?' asked
the judge, as he carefully scrutinized the
