SANTA ANA, Oct. 23.-sunday was q
busy day for Marshal Nichols. Santa
Ana is very moral little city, and one
of its laws is that no saloon shall do
business OH the Sabbath. Its saloons
do business, for all the front doors are
always closed on the Sabbath day. Every
once in a while some belated pedestrian
may be seen, though, who hss had too
much bad whiskey, and yesterday had q
large supply of these. Oscar Wells and
man by the name of Franklin, who
hail from Capistrano, are in this city,
Wells being here on charge Of assault
with deadly weapon. They got too
much liquor aboard, and, to settle o
little difficulty, began fight. The
marshal took them both in charge, and
this morning Judge Freeman fined them
both.
A fellow by the name of Reed also got
full and was given home in the city
prison where he will remain for five
days, not being able to pay his fine.
John Kellenberger keeps saloon
here. His front door was closed yester-
day as it should be, but the back door
was open, and he sold liquor, which was
why he appeared before Recorder
Matthews this morning and paid $40
for 90 doing. Kellenberger didn't
like to pay the fine but he did 90, and
80 pow he is sadder but much wiser
man.
TIE WELLS CASE.

court was used in hearing evidence as to

the prosecution, and j. Marion Brooks
for the defense, making very able argu-
mepts. The summing up to the jury OF
the evidence and the judges charge oc-
