Court Apollo and Its Namesake Do Bat
tie for Their Rights.
A legal battle involving rival factions OF
the Ancient Order of Foresters was waged
yesterday in Justice Lows court
Ii appears that Court Apollo of the An
cient Order of Foresters of America has
been in the habit of holding its meetings
regularly In G. G.. Larsen's hall, over the
TivOli cafe on Eddy street, and known as
Foresters' Hall. But there is also Court
Apollo. Ancient Order of Foresters, pure
and simple. which meets at another For
esters' Hall, 102 0'Farrell street, where
there are lodgerooms for all the Foresters'
courts.
An order was issued for the Larsen Hall
court to move into the building on 0Farrell
street. This the court refused to do, and
Subsidiary High Court j. Beaver suspended
its officers on May 10. The chief ranger of
the suspended officers. j. ID. Hart, refused
to acknowledge the suspension. A partial
reconciliation, however. took place, and
Court Apollo, Ancient Order OF Foresters
was reinstated. The maleontents became
members of Court Apollo, Ancient Order of
Foresters of America.
At the time of the schsm there were GER
tain handsome badges, regalia, axes and
other paraphernalia owned by the court.
and these were retained by the Eddy-street
court As both factions claimed them Sub
sldlary High Court Beaver was invited To a
decision. and he did so in favor of the o. Far
rell-street court
Then Court Apollo. A. o. F. of A., repu-
diated the suspension, claimed to be the

DELUDED C0NVICTS.
Some OF Them Are victims OF the shys

Some OF Them Are Victims OF the shys-
ter Attorneys.
There are no less than 10 convicts in San
Quentin who are drawing monthly pensions
from the United States Government, and
three or four Of the 10 are serving their
second term of imprisonment
The money they draw varies in amount
from SIS 10 S35 per month, and some of the
men have sums ranging from $500 to $500
saved up. The money is held in trust for
the conyicts by Warden Hale who. of
course. has nothing to say as to what dispo-
sitloB they make of 1t.
vi late IL has been noticed that the class
of lawyers commonly known as shysters
have been paying great attention to the
cenvlcte with money, and in several cases
have succeeded ! getting big fees out Of
the men by holding out specious promises
OF getting them pardoned or their terms of
Imprisonment shortened. In one case re-
Gently lawyer was paid $50 by convict
whose case had been examined by an emil
nent criminal lawyer of this city and pro-
nounced hopeless. The last named attorney
refused TO charge the convict fee and told
him he could do nothing for bin, but the
other attorney took his money and was
going to have him released in week or
two.
The convict is still In his cell, and as he is
sentenced under the prior conviction clause
he will more than likely serve out his time
less his credits.
The cOnylcts are so situated that they
cannot telf~what the so-called LAWYERS are
doing and all that is necessary is for the
attorney 10 write hopeful letters every
week or two to tie poor fellow whose
M money ne has taken and do nothing else.
AS stated, Warden Hale's hands are
practically tied in the matter. and besides it
Is delicate matter for the warden of a
prison to interfere when man is lawfully
attempting to regain his freedom, and
Warden Hale so feels; but he would like TO
see the unfortunate men protected, and it
Is just possible some way OF doing 1t Will be
found.

A WOODLAND ROMANCE.

wounded Dolly Brandon Flies Here and
is Arrested.
BY virtue OF telegram from the Wood
land police, Detective Crockett went to 11O
Eddy street Yesterday afternoon and al
rested two comely women known as Annie
Brandon and Blanche Dayton. The women
were not locked up, but were detained in
the Chiefs Office, pending further advices
from the county seat of Yolo. Annie Brandon,
or Dolly. as she is more familiarIy known,
was taken to the Receiving Hospital. where
four slight Gashes on her breast and an
other on her neck were examined and re-
bandaged. How did she receive the wounds?
Thereby hangs the story of her fight from
Woodland and arrest in this city
The dispatches from Woodland have
briefly stated that last Monday night John
Strong stabbed Dolly Bran don and was
arrested for assault to murder
The police Of this city give few addi-
tional details. They say that John Strong.
who IS the son OF prominent physician Of
Woodland, married Annie Brandon. She
was then considered the belle of the town.
Restraints OF married life were not con-
genial TO Annie. and she left her
husband five years ago. After that she
led a rather gay life, fiuctuating between
this city and various interior towns. Some
three weeks ago she went TO " oodl land with
her friend Blanche. SRe had heard that
Strong was no longer there aud did not ex-
pect TO meet him. Last Monday night,
however, her former husband heard of her
arrival an1 visited her. Ee was consider
ably under the influence of liquor aud in
loving mood. Although she demonstrated
be bugged and kissed her repeatedly.
Finally Annie ordered him to leave her and
he drew a knife and slashed her five times.
All this time Blanche Dayton was witness
70 the proceedings.
After Strong was arrested and held for
trial on a charge Of assault the women de-
cided not to prosecute him aud quietly de-
parted. They were traced 10 his city and
that is why they were arrested. They are
wanted as witnesses and will be taken back
