MIDDAY ASSAULTS.
Two Drunken Men Attack a De.
fenSeless Woman.
They Also Threaten to Shoot Her Husband.
One Of Them Declares Himself
Police Court BailiF

Two very bold assaults in midday and
within block and a half of the Folsom
street Police Station occurred last Saturday
In front of $50 Folsom street. At that num-
ber is secondhand store. keft by Rudolpa
Wolff, who lives with his family in the rear.
From the stories told by Mr.. and Mrs.
Wolff and three or four neighbors, which,
while they are contradictory as to the de-
tails, are sufficiently cOrroborative to show
that both attacks were unprovOked. 1t ap-
pears that Mrs. Wolff had to make trip
from the store to a neighbOrlng butcher
shop on an errand. AS she emerged from
the store she was confronted by two men,
one Of whom made vicious pass at her face
with his fist. Mrs. Wolff screamed and her
husband ran to her rescue.
The men were intoxicated to that degree
that they were ugly to handle. One was q
tall man of dark complexion, dark hair and
mustache, while the other was a red-haired,
red, fudgy-taced fat man, dressed in blue
suit. 1t was the blue-suited individual who
made the first pass, which, upon the appear
ance of Mr.. Wolff, was followed by the tall,
lanky man starting in to fight. In self
defense Wof grappled with him. The
story is best told from this point by Mr..
Wolff, who says:
"When 1 grabbed him the other pulled
aside his coat-lapel, showing star, and said,
I'm Police Court bailiff This man is
under my arrest Indicating the lauky indi-
viduaD, and if you touch him I'll blow your
brains out" and he put his hand back to
get his revolver. l let go. Just then the
cry of Police! PoliceP was heard, and
the crowd scattered and these men with it.
About half hour afterward they came
back with some friends. 1 saw them before
they entered, and | ran out and caught the
tall, lanky fellow again and held on for
fully ten minutes, yelling for the police A
crowd was at hand Immediately; indeed, it
had hardly more than got over talking about
the first assault. The police were sent for
and the two men and their friends got
scared. The men were hustled into buggy
and they drove off Ten minutes later the
patrol wagon arrived. II l knew them I
would have them arrested. The only clew
l have Is that the lanky one was called Jim
and the pudgy-faced bailiff:. John or Jack"

He was a queer old man who
boarded the train at small station
in western New York. Two young
men, who were probably his sons,
brought him to the steps of the car
and helped him on, and as he en-
tered we saw that he leaned heavily
on a cane and was very feeble.
"The children kept at me till |
had to promise to 60" he said as he
sat down. "Hain't been down to
Mary's in five years, and I've gotso

He had about 40 miles to go, and
when we passed the first three Or
four stations he was anxious for fear
that he would be carried by the
right one. After that he leaned
over on the window and fell asleep
Just before the train arrived al

arm and said:
