PoIAoE COURT DoINGs.
An Interesting Lot of Cases Tried
by Judge Devine This Morn
ing-Davis and John

The recorder dealt with the following
cases this morning, assessing Sll5 in fines:
j. w. Knee, carrying pistol, S25; drunk
and diSorderly. dismissed.
John Frederick, beating and striking,
$40. This is the man who beat John
Walker his father-in-law, on Tuesday
night. when the old man was trying to
keep him from abusing his daughter,
FTederick'S wife.
Joseph Beard. vagrant. 81 or 10 days.
A. VI. CourtnCr. drunk and disOrdCrly.
So: also Dick Berry, diSOrdcrly, dismissed.
The general belief before court convened
was that these parties had a combat. IhC
evidence went to show that MIR. Berry
simply was trying to take care OF Court
ner while he was wild from the effects of
liquor.
Ed Davis. suspicious character, $50 or
30 DAYS. Davis is the man who is suS-
pected Of having stolen watch and
chain valued at $50 and $50 in money
from Face Spencer while the latter was
rSIeep at the Bella Union on Monday
night. Joseph johnson, negro who h S
Just served out fine on the county roads
for berg a suspicious character, was OF g
of the witnesses in the Davis case, aud
his evidence went TO show hat he was, in
a degree, implicated with Davis. Captain
Hughes made a charge against him for
Vagrancy and he was fined 81 or 10 days
He Is the man who stole some shirts Sew
eral months ago from a travelling man.
Miguel Cruz, suspicious character. con-
tinued. He was seen yesterday peeping
in the wi dOws at the Richter bakery on
Laredo street, and made several moves
which aroused suspicion. 1t is thought
that some interesting facts will develop
when more witnesses ere summoned.
Ed. Manning, drunk, 81.
Charles Parker, lighting, dismissed;
also GregOrio Serna, same charge, $50 or
30 days. They had knock down" at the
Bella Union theatre last night. In the
fight Serna displayed a knife. and. had il
not been for the immediate appearance of
an officer, some bloody work would have
been done
. Albert WPndler, fighting, continued.
He is the young man who had a row with
a man named Sherwood on Monday.

Again the:watch Thief.

J. w. Richardson is the man who was
arrested one month ago on the charge of
being a suspicious character. having tried
to dispose of a numb of watches, which
he had pawned, offering the tickets for
small amounts. He was sentenced to 200
days Imprisonment by Judge DevinP.
Yesterday the mayor, recorder and city
marshal received letters from him stating
that he would reform and that he would
leave the city at once if.they would permit
him to 90. Captain ShardeiD turned him
loose at noon, with the understanding
that he would leave the city at once. This
he agreed to. Last night about Q o'clock,
he was arrested and lodged again in Jail,
where he will serve out the rest of his
sentence. When seen by the officer last
night he was trying the same old watch
racket.

Knocked i'm the Head,

A Mexican named ChriStoval ViaahO
went to police headquarters at II o'clock
this morning, aud stated he had been as
Saulted by some highwaymen near West
End last night. His face was covered
with cuts and bruises. his head was beat
en- terribly and his clothes were red with
blood. He was too weak to talk much,
and but little could be learned of the
affair. While walking home about 10
o'clock, two men stepped up. one in front
and the other at his side, and, without
saying a word, struck him over the head.
They then proceeded to beat him until he
lay in the road in an unconscious cOudi-
ton. Why the assault was made is not
known and it is likely a sensation will
develOpe when the mystery is solved.

ALEAP YEAR HOP.
The LAST IF the Year, But not the
Least in Enjoyment

The old Belknap armory was again
alive with young and frOlicSOme human
ity. Many have been the dances given
inside its walls, and there are very few
society people who have not enjoyed a
few hours tripping the light fantastic on
its smooth floor. Only recently did the
young ladies, friends and sweetheartS OF
the boys, give a leap year masquerade,
which was declared TO be one OF the social
features of the season. Last night the
dear girls" gave leap year hop, not Il
masquerade but regular every day
dance, the kind that is heartily enjoyed
by every one. 1t was not a regular every
day affair in all its appointments. There
were a few extras, such as decorations
and well filed bowl of punch, Around
the hall there was Streamer OF moss
with flowers interviewer. From the gas
jets and on the pillars hung large lunches
of mStletOe. 1t was very suggestive, but
for all the hints thrown ont by the boys,
a shake of the finger, a nod and sweet
smile was the Only sign made by the
young ladies to show that they under
stood.
The young ladies who. composed the
committee and who. with their own deli
cate, dainty little fingers arranged the
decorations. were Miss Mabel Drake,
who was pretty as could be" in fawn
colOred silk trimmed with elder down,
pink silk and flowers: Miss Marion Kauff-
mann. who looked every inch a queen of
beauty in delicate blue silk null trim
med with }ace, ribbons and pearls; Miss
FlOrenGsThOmpSOn, in costume of scar
Get CREPE de chine.
The crowd was rather small owing to a
serious misunderstanding as to the date,
and Christmas being so near. 1t was,
however, voted by those who were pre-
sent, a glorious success At 2 o'clock
Artz' orchestra played Home Sweet
Home, thus closing probably the last leap
year dance that will be given in 1892.
When the ladies' chance comes again
there will be another younger set of girls
and boys to enjoy the pleasures OF a
Leap Year Hop" and the charming
faces seen last night will be things of the
past, though sweet thoughts OF them will
lirger forever in the memories Of the
boys.
mr. and Mrs. w. Z. FitZGerald and Mrs.
Drake chaperoned the party.
