in the near future, and to facilitate the
departure of the Itata.
A suit was on trial yesterday before
Judge Van Dyke, in department four, in
which the district attorneys Office came
out with flying colors. 1t was in the
case of. B. Rapp vs.. o. E. Roberts, and
was an $l1 900 damage suit. Roberts
caused Rapp's arrest on the charge of
obstructing the passage OF people over
a strip OF ground which had been used
as a road. The defendant was convicted
and appealed the case. After the APP
peal case had been started. Rapp
secured judgment by which the title
to the land in question was settled in
him. The superior court granted him
a new trial, and the district attorney
dismissed the charge against him.
Then he sued the defendant, Roberts,
for damages in having caused his arrest.
The trial lasted all day yesterday before
a jury, and late in the afternoon a ver-
dict was rendered that there was no
cause for action, and the case was dis
missed.
WENT FOR THE ATTORNEY.
A somewhat peculiar battery case was
tried before Justice Stanton yesterday,
J. B. de las Casas was the complaining
witness. The attorney went up in the
Roma hotel to serve some papers on q.
Roattino and Mrs. Lomancia Roattino.
The lady objected to the service and ex-
erting herself in a muscular manner
showed the attorney the door, or, as she
said on the witness stand, he went out
faster than he came in" After hearing
the account of the fracas Justice Stanton
fined the lady SO for thus disturbing the
dignity of one OF the legal fraternity.
