Stevens to Los Angeles to serve SEN
tence of six months pronounced against
him in May last.
Stevens is sailor by profession, but
by trade is nothing. He was living
With woman at Niger Browns dance
house and. as is usual in such cases, she
supplied him with money and received
nothing but kicks for her pains. About
May 9th he was arrested and charged
with being a vag He had formerly
| but had gradually drifted away from
them. However, they held several
meetings and agreed TO fix it so that he
would be the first man to ship. So they
went and told the justice of the peace
and it was agreed that Stevens should
plead guilty and be given q
| floater and would Immediately leave
town. When brought before Justice
Sweet, he pleaded guilty and was given
a floater of six months. He soon after
wards shipped on the Commodore
where he stayed for about two months.
He did not attend to business properly,
and was discharged when the boat re-
turned to San Pedro about two weeks
ago.
The authorities would have left him
alone then, but he soon returned to his
old life, and few nights ago followed
| the woman about and tried to beat her,
and smashed window in doing go. He
was prevented from hurting the woman
by her companion, but caught her soon
afterward and inflicted terrible beat
ing upon her. The woman's companion
of the previous night, wanted Stevens
arrested, but as he would not appear
against him, Stevens was arrested on
the old finding and taken to Los Angeles
in the afternoon. An attempt will prob
ably be made to have him released on
habeas corpus.

fore Justice johnson today, charged
with disturbing the peace of Maggie
bailey. Both women are members oi

gusting testimony was given. but as the
two sides conflicted materially, the de.
fendant was discharged.
