LOCKWOOD'S FREAK.
THE EXILED JUSTICE RETURNS
MONEY TO THE CITY.
He Is Basking in the Climate of Briaden
County, Minn.-His Lawyers Instruct
ed to Return the Missing Money to the
Council Tomorrow.

w. G. Lockwood will be remembered
as the justice of the peace who caused a
decided sensation here last year. No
one knew exactly where he fled to, nor
what had become of him from the day of
his disappearance from the court room,
when one case against him was dis
missed and an officer had warrant to
serve on him in another, not word has
been heard of him, except by his attor-
neys. Messrs. Shinn & Ling.
Mr.. Lockwood has committed great
many extraordinary acts since he first
came prominently before the public, but
the last one, which will here be out
lined, is the most remarkable of all at
least those who know him will so think.
When Lockwood abruptly left his
Office he had in his possession the sum
of $135.75 which belonged to the city.
This he had collected in the form of fees
and fines in his capacity of Justice. He
departed in such haste that he had not
time in which to pay the money into
the treasury, so he naturally took it
with him.
Now here is the most remarkable lea
ture of Mr.. Lockwood's career. Yester-
day Messrs. Shinn and Ling received a
letter from Mr.. Lockwood, from Bria-
den county, Minnesota. This inclosed a
statement of his debt to the city, to
which he had taken the trouble to make
an acknowledgement before a notary.
With the statement came a draft and
instruction to the lawyers to make a
tender of the money to the city council
tomorrow, and to secure receipt in
full
Mr.. Lockwood will have the sympathy
of many old-time friends on his having
exiled himself to such cold country as
Minnesota. There are whole lot of
people who wish he was in warme r
place.

THE IRISH LAD.
Peter Maher is Working Hard, but
Will He Stand the Gaff?

Will ne SLauu The GduI
Gus Tuthill, Jack Dempsey's old
backer, and who is financially interested
in Peter Maheri in the latter's battle with
Bob Fitzsimmons, went down to East
Hampton on Saturday to see how things
were progressing, and got back yester-
day. A Sun reporter met him as he
stepped from the train and asked how
Maher was doing in his work.
elbow is he doing ?'a repeated Tuthill,
"why, to put it feebly, Peter Maher is
one of the best men in training whom l
ever saw, and I have had some expert
ence with fighters. He works all the
time. Yesterday, for instance, after he
had done his morning work, he said to
Billy Madden: You don't want me any
more for little while, do your Madden
said: No, but you must be back by 3
o'clock to punch the bag Maher re-
piled: All right Then he went down
the road to the house of Dennis Downey,
farmer whose acquaintance he had
made, and who is compatriot of Peter.
Along about 2:30 O'Clock Madden
and strolled to Downey's. We had no
fear that Peter was doing anything
wrong, but just wanted to see what he
was working at. He couldn't have
sneaked off to public house to drink
ale, for there is none within seven miles
of the training quarters. East Hampton
is little hamlet and knows no public
house. Well, we went to Downey's, and
what do you suppose we saw? At first
we could get no trace of Peter, and we
had to hunt for him. Finally we struck
the barn, or at least the rear of it, and
in that spot we saw sight that amused
us. There was Peter Maher shoveling
manure into high wagon and
handling his prong with much more en-
ergy than is shown by farm hand who
receives his regular pay"
The reporter asked Tuthill what
ground he had for believing, after allow
ing that Maher had the strength and
science necessary to make good fighter,
that the Irishman was possessed of the
requisite determination and gameness,
after he had received couple of sound
whacks on the stomach.
Don't know anything about that"
replied Gus, "but will take chances.
Maher may be quitter; he certainly
hasn't been tried yet. But from what
have seen of the man, l am inclined to
think he will die in the ring rather than
be licked. He is one of the best foot
ball players in Ireland, and has been in
many battles of that sort. His legs are
all scraped and marked from kicks and
cuts he has received. OF course, that
doesn't prove that he can stand the gaff
within the ropes, but cannot but think
that the young fellow is pluck persona

SAN Francisco, Feb. 20.-The Chroni-
Gle says that last Thursday night Mrs.
Terry stood on the corner of Post and
Kearney streets in a heavy rain and
amused herself by wading in the
gutter. She then went tU a res
taurant and borrowed dollar,
leaving her watch as security; she at
tempted to engage room at the Alvin
house, but the proprietress, fearing no.
toriety, refused to give her room. Mrs.
Terry then left and, it is presumed,
went to Mammie Peasants house,
where she was given shelter. Her
watch still remains in pawn at the res

United States was the result of the
Chicago convention last week, A.
E. Stevenson, of Illinois, formerly
first assistant post master general
during Clevelands administration
being nominated as the candidate
for second place.
The ex-president was nominated
by acclimation on the first vote.
He received GIT, Hill ia, German
36 and Boies 103.
Unlike the nomination of Cleve-
land, Stevenson's nomination tor
vice P resident was rather unexpect-
ed. Gray Of Indiana seemed to be
in the lead, but before coming to a
vote it was discovered that the New
Workers and Cleveland's opponent
generally were strongly opposed to
Gray, the Stevenson boom then
ia rted, and he was also nominate l
by first vote. Gen. Stovenson's re-
cord while first assistant postmaster
general for the agility he exercised
in the removal of Republican post
masters and appointing Democrats
in their stead, has made him quite
popular with the opposing element
of Cleveland.
