HE DROPPED A TORPEDO,
And Raised a Big COmmotion at a
FRANCISCAN Pedro Dance.

Ignacia Montez is In trouble. He is only
IS years years old but has some bad ha bits,
and last night he had a torpedo about the
size of hen egg, small bomb. He also
had healthy jag" 1t was on account
of the torpedo and the jag that he got in
to trouble. He got the torpedo from Ed
ward Jagge, and with the little explosive
piece of nothing he went to a barroom
dance, at the corner of Medina and Ruiz
streets. There he began playing with
his little bomb by throwing it
up in the air and catching it in
his hands. This he did once or twice,
then in a spirit Of ''jaggy mischief he
let it drop very hard on the floor. There
was loud report and the merry dancers
began to rush forth into the open air, and
q special policeman rushed for Montez.
The special secured his prisoner and
placed the bracelets on him, that is one
hand. AS he went to posture the other
hand the boy jerked away from him and
hit the special in the head with the dang
ling hand cuff. The policeman returned
the compliment and there was some lively
"scrapping" until the arrival of mounted
men Schumacher and Peterson. who put
stop TO the fray, and took the young
Mexican to police head quarters where he
was kindly given bed behind the bars.

The Wife Poi, oner's Last Chance

ALBANY, Dec. 5.-The famous Carlisle
Harris murder case is to be argued on
appeal in the highest court Of the State
today, and the eyes Of the public will be
once more turned upon an interesting
character. Since his conviction of poi
soning his school girl wife. Harris has
been confined in the TOmbS and has writ
ten stories and poems for the New York
papers. One of his latest is a very pretty
lullaby which was published in the Her
aid last week. This was the first poison
case tried in New York courts in twenty
two years. Harris was a medical student
in New York and Helen Potts, New
Jersey girl, whose parents are wealthy
residents of Ocean Grove, was a
pupil at the COmstock school. Har-
riS became engaged to her and
was secretly married. Some days after
the burial of his wife an investigation
showed that she had died from morphine
poisoning. Harris was arrested finally,
almost year after the crime was COM
mitted, and atthe trial it developed that
instead of quinine he had given his wife
morphine pills. The motive was de-
sign to get rid of her before the public
marriage ceremony which he had prom
iSed to have Solemnzed. The testimony
was altogether crcumstantial but very
convincing and Harris was convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced
to electrocution. His trial was before
Recorder Smyth, whose charge was a
marvel OF correctness and legal acumen.
The trial began and ended in January
1892, so that almost year has elapsed
since conviction.
