Carpenters Misguided Client Giving

Carpenters Misguided Client Giving
the Courts More Trouble.
An order was issued by Superior Judge
Calling yesterday directing Sheriff Cum
ningham of San Joaquin County to inn
mediately remove John Vance from the
possession of certain land in that county.
This order was made at the request of
Attorney Levinsky of Stockton, who ap-
prised the court that Vance was still in
possession Of the land, when he had some
time since been directed by the court to
vacate.
Vance is the individual who year ago
was sent to the County Jail by Judge
Catlin along with his tire-eating attorney,
Amos II. Carpenter, for contempt of
court. The trouble grew out of the suit
of James G. Pennie VS.. Sebastian
Nischer, and others. Vance was one of
the defendants, and was by order of
court enjoined from disposing of any of
the land involved in the suit. Under the
advice of Carpenter, however, he did dis
pose of some of the land. When the mat
ter was brought TO the attention of the
court Vance and Carpenter were cited
for contempt. Carpenter was very def
ant and he and his client were sent to
Jail. Carpenter appealed to the Supreme
Court, but met with rebuff there. Then
he sought to have Judge Catlin inn
peached through the Legislature, but met
with no success. He remained in iaiI
about week and then ''threw up the
sponge''-payfng his fine and getting out
of jail Vance followed soon afterward.
1t appears from yesterdays proceed
ings that Vance and Carpenter are still
making trouble. but the chances are that
they will not go so far as to get into Jail
AGAIN.

She Says She VIII Not Be Bad Girl
Any More.
Bertha Dufour, the wayward young
girl who has given the police no end of
trouble and who was recently arrested
for vagrancy, appeared before Justice of
the Peace DeVine again yesterday.
Bertha was not so saucy as she was on
former occasions. In fact she was quite
repentant.
As was stated in the REcoRD-U UNION
last week the authorities did not wish to
send the girl to jail if any other arrange
ments could be made by which she could
be kept out of evil ways in the future.
When the case was called yesterday Ber-
tina withdrew her plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to the charge of vagrancy.
Justice Devine then sentenced her to two
years confinement in the Whittier Re-
form School, but agreed to withhold the
commitment as long as Bertha behaves
herself The girl will be given in charge
OF married sister who lives in San Fran
cisco. The Justice lectured the wayward
miss severely on the evils of keeping bad
company and gave her some wholesome
advice. She wept and promised to be a
good girl in the future.

A LOST CANE,
II. c. Stone, His Cobbler, His Cane
and His Case.

II. c. Stone, His Cobbler, His Cane
and His Case.
Frank Terrall, charged by H. c. Stone
with petty larceny, in having appropri-
ated the latter's cane, was tried before
Judge Cravens yesterday.
Stone took the stand and told all about
the cane. He said he lost his cane last
year-along just before Christmas, which
occurred in December the last time. Mr..
Stone called upon TerralI, who kept
cobbler's emporium, 10 have his shoes
mended.
While waiting for his shoes he became
so absorbed in current events that he
hung his cane up in the shop and went
off without it, When he returned on
Christmas to recover his staff, Terrall de-
MED having it, and not having it did not
comply with Stones demand to produce
it. Stone has been grieving about this
hickory cane, offering rewards, lying
awake o. nights and lamenting, ever since
Christmas.
Stone explained to the court that he
valued the cane at about 50, but it was
not worth that sum to anybody else. 1t
was just the kind of a cane that suited
him, and with it he could protect himself
from dogs and men. Dogs disliked Mr.
Stone, and he felt the need of his hickory
cane so very much that he finally had
Terrall arrested.
Terrall testified that he had mended
stones boots, but hadn't seen anything
OF the cane since that day. or day or
two after, when ii disappeared somehow
Witness intimated that Stone was quite
likely to have taken it away himself
Moreover, he impeached Stones state
ment that he had paid sixty cents for
mending his shoes-he only paid thirty
cents.
The Judge, after careful consideration
of the evidence, found Terrall not guilty,
and the case was dismissed.
Mr.. stone walked forth still lamenting,
with common kind of a ten-cent cane,
while his hickory's history is shrouded
in a deeper gloom.

ROBERTS MORNING RAID.

Officer TaIbot's Speedy Capture of the
Robber-All the Stolen Prop
erty Recovered.

About o'clock yesterday morning Of
ficer Higgins learned that the show
window of w. B. Miller's iewelry store.
on j street, near the corner Of Seventh,
had been broken into and robbed Hig-
gins went to the store and found the win
dow broken and a brick wrapped in a
newspaper lying inside, together with a
sJick, which had evidently been used by
the burglar in drawing out various ar
ticles of silVerware.
Higgins shortly met Officer Talbot and
informed him of the robbery. There was
no clue to follow, but in twenty minutes
Talbot succeeded in arresting man Civ
ing the name of William Roberts, who
had silver cup in his pocket, and shortly
confessed to having robbed the store. He
then took Talbot to the Steamboat Saloon,
at the corner of Front and K streets
where number of articles taken from
Mlller's store were recovered, having
been left in the barkeepers charge.
Talbot did some very shrewd work in
detecting the man. He noticed him first
at Second and * streets, and judged him
to be a stranger. He approached the
man rather suddenly and managed to
display his star, when he thought he no.
ticed the fellow start, and the latter soon
went off toward l. street.
Talbot followed and watched him until
he darted up the alley between Front and
Second streets, after making a detour
along Front and lodging between some
cars on a side-track there.
When he got into the alley he ran
rapidly toward j street, and Talbot
pursued and arrested him, with the re-
suit stated.
Roberts answers to the description of
one Of the Mendocino stage robbers. He
was closely questioned as to his move
ments, and stated that he came from Los
Angeles, arriving in this city on Friday,
since which time he had slept about lum-
Der yards and such places. He claims
that he has been hunting work since his
arrival here, and that fear of starvation
pushed him to desperation.

The sad Case of Aged Mrs. Marie
Miller.
Mrs. Marie Miller, aged 76 years, was
taken to the receiving hospital on Mon
day evening from the Sacramento train in
San Francisco. Mrs Miller fell from an
express wagon while she was preparing
TO take the train bound to the latter city.
She broke her left thigh bone in the fail.
The passengers took care of her and made
her as comfortable as possible on the
train until she arrived. Mrs. Miller
rested easily after the fracture was SCI,
but the injury may prove serious on ac-
count of her age.
Mrs. Miller was employed as domestic
in this city and was trying TO reach Mon
terey, where she has widowed sister-in-
law, a Mrs. Miller. whose husband was
sheriff of that county fifteen years ago.
She had only money enough TO reach
San Francisco, and her intention was to
get work there until she could make
enough TO go to Monterey. The passen-
gers on the train raised purse of SAB for
the unfortunate woman.
