dispose of or transfer the same, and re-
ferred the plaintiff to her promise TO
make her will in his favor"
Upon these representations. says Cass.
he advanced to his mother various sums
from time to time, amounting to S275.
Then rupture occurred. Whether be-
cause she needed money, or because she
concluded not to carry out her agree
nent, Mrs. Cass mortgaged the property
TO the defendant Wittenbrook for s., 600,
and this is what Cass is now kicking
about. He sets forth in the complaint
that her action was ''in violation OF her
agreement with plaintiff, and in fraud of
his rights hereunder, and without his
knowledge or consent, and in order to
deprive this plaintiff of his rights" etc.
Finally, to cap the climax, she revoked
her will and destroyed it; has ordered
Cass and his family to vacate her house,
unless he pays her monthly rental OF
so.
In conclusion Cass asks that the mort
gage be cancelled; that he be declared the
equitable owner of the house and lot de-
scribed above; that it be decreed that mis-
mother simply holds it in trust for him,
and that the alleged agreement be en-
forced.

BRAUHSWBIGBR JAILED,
Judge Prewett Does Not Follow the
Precedent Set in Other Cases.
The F1nife-WioIder's ISehavior After
the Verdict Was Rendered Referred
TO by the District Attorney.

Judge Prewett of Placer County pre-
sided in Department One of the Superior
Court for short time yesterday. Judge
Prewett took Judge Catlin's place last
week when Gustave Braunsweiger, the
cratic German piano-player, was tried
and convicted fer stabbing j. II. Eber-
ling during a saloon brawI in December
of last year, and his honor was present
yesterday to sentence Braunsweiger.
Grove l.. Johnson, the piano-player's
attorney, asked the court to be lenient
He reminded his honor that the jury had
brought in milder verdict than that
charged by the District Attorney, and had
also recommended that the court be mer-
ciful. The attorney called the Judges
attention TO the fact that man named
Baldwin was also convicted of stab ing a
man few days ago, and Judge Catlin
had only sentenced him to sixty daYS'
confinement.
District Attorney Ryan, however, said
there We're circumstances connected with
Braunsweiger'S case that should deprive
that individual OF sympathy. He pro-
ceeded to relate these circumstances when
Mr.. Johnson entered a vigorous obiec-
ton. The court. however, babe Mr.. Ryan
proceed
The District Attorney said that when
the Jury rendered the verdict in Braun
sweiger's case Braunsweiger walked de-
liberately over to where the prosecuting
witness, Eberling, sat and spat in his
face. And this was not all. After the
trial was over he had approached one of
the jurors, Mr.. kuchler, and had abused
| him violently for the verdict that had
been rendered, saying that the Irishmen
on the jury were better friends to him
and were inclined to be more merciful
than his own countrymen, the Germans.
Judge Prewett said he could not take
into consideration the acts of the defend
ant after the verdict had been rendered.
He was satisfied, however, that Braun
sweiger had a very violent temper
That was plain to see during the defend
ants testimony on the witness stand.
Turning 90 Braunsweiger Judge
Prewett lectured him severely. 1t was
not the defendants fault, he said, that he
did not stand before the court convicted
OF murder instead of assault with a
deadly weapon. 1t was a most serious
crime, and could not be passed over
lightly. While Eberling's conduct might
have merited chaStisement it did not
warrant Brauns weiger in using a knife
and trying to kill him. Still the court
did not feel disposed to send the prisoner
TO the penitentiary on account of his wife
and respectable connections.
The judgment of the court was that
fine Of 81 900 be imposed, with tie alter
native of spending 500 days in the County
Jail. Not having the money Braun
SWeiger went to iail.

THE TWO SCHMIDTS.
1t Was Evident That John Wake
Had Battered One of Them.

It Was Evident That John Walker
Had Battered One of Them.
John Walker, charged with battery,
was found guilty by Judge Cravens yes
terday morning. Walker welded a
pitcher in warlike way and smashed it
to fragments upon l.. Schmidts head.
Schmidt explained that it was the worst
usage he had ever been subjected to- and
that he was so badly frightened wien he
went to swear out complaint that he
could not write his name.
City Attorney Hart took the stand and
testified that Schmidt appeared at his
Office with some fragments Of what he
claimed was once pitcher imbedded in
his hat. He was much excited, and ex-
hIbited some of the pieces of the vessel
that was fired at his Uranium and there
upon demolished.
as soon as he got chance Walker ex-
planned to the court that there was mis-
take-that this was notthe Schmidt he had
tried TO paralyze, but another Schmidt of
the same place.
As it happened the "other Schmidt
was on hand, and came forward and
stood alongside of Schmidt Number one.
The two looked almost enough alike to
have been the two DromioS OF Ephesus
and Syracuse, but they were only from
the Gleeman House, Sacramento, and
uuquesionably would vote for Bismarck
rather than Shakespeare.
Dromio Number One felt of his head
and wondered in visible way. He
thought that I'D vos been a great goun-
try ven be didn't know if he vas hit by

Judge Cravens thought somebody got
hit by the pitcher, and surprised Walker
by telling him he would be sentenced
this morning; and Schmidt and Schmidt
''schmiled" and stepped down.

MASON APPEALS.


The Claim of the American Hosiery
Company IN the Superior Court.
The case of the American Hosiery Com
pany against Fred Mason has been APP
pealed to the Superior Court
The matter was heard by Justice Of the
Peace Devine three weeks ago. and judg-
ment was rendered against Mason. The
latter now makes the appeal.
Mason went into Insolvency some time
ago, and the complaining corporation,
whose place of business is not located in
this state, did not file the claim which it
had against Mason before the latter was
discharged from Insolvency by the Su-
perior Court. Suit was then commenced
directly against Mason for the amount of
the claim. The plaintiffs claimed that,
bong foreign creditors, they are not al
fected by the local laws, and Judge De-
vine held that they were right in their
assertion

A rather peculiar suit was commenced

A rather peculiar suit was commenced
il the Superior Court yesterday.
The title OF the suit is w. FL. Cass VS..
Maria Louisa Cass and George p. Wit
tenhrook.
The defendant, Maria Louisa Cass. is
the mother of the plaintiff, w. II. Cass.
The latter, in his complaint, sets forth
that his mother is 81 years of age, and
quite feeble and infrm. In 1882 She was
possessed Of about s., 200, but was without
q home, and in need OF care and atten-
ton. After consultation, says the son,
an agreement was arrived at between
them, the mother agreeing 20 expend her
s., 200 for house and lot in the block
bounded by l and j, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets, in this city; that she
should take title in her own name, but
the son and his family should reside
there with her; that he was to paw the
taxes and insurance and furnish his
mother with all necessary care and at
tention, board and lodging, etc, and il
was further agreed, be says, that Mrs.
CaSS should, III return for this attention
and care, make will bequeathing the
property to him at her death, and that
during her lifetime she should not en-
cuniber the property in any manner.
The agreement was carried out by the
aged mother, and her son and his family
moved into the new home with her. She
also executed the desired Will. Cass says
he also lived up to his agreements.
But in 1885, says Cass in his complaint,
his mother informed him that ali OF her
money was gone, and she needed some

son 10 advance funds 10 her from to time.

The Tomb of Eve.


The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb is al
Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The tenn
pie, with a palm tree growing out Of a
crack in the rock roof, which is of itself
one of the wonders of the orient, is sup.
posed to be built directly over the last
resting place of the first woman. Ac-
cording to Arab tradition Eve meas
ured over zoo feet in height, which, un-
likely as it may seem, strangely coin
cides with an account of our first par
ents written by a member of the French
academy, who also claimed a height OF
over 200 feet for both of the tenants OF
the garden Of Eden.
Ewes tomb, which is a burying ground
that is surrounded by a high wall, the
gate to which has not been opened for a
single interment for over 1000 years, is
the shrine of thousands Of devoted Ish-
maelites. who make pilgrimage to the
spot once every seven years. Once each

Arabian legends the anniversary Of the
death of Abel, the doors to the tomb of

tragedy still haunted the remains which

Dinners Must Be More Plain.

Physiological facts, no more than H.
bred people, ought to be admitted into
good society. There is one, however,
that is of concern, since it seems to de-
mand an important change in a long es
tablished precedent. The stomach Of
civilized man has shrunk to such an ex
tent it appears something will have to be
dropped from the menu. When meals
were occasional, as now among sayages,
the elasticity of the stomach was Ca
pable of great deeds. In the days Of
fighting and knight errantry food was as
precarious as now on the plains, ano
this created the stomach Of the valiant
trencher man on whose capacity the
present orderly sequence of dinner was
founded.
The passing away OF the three and
four bottle men has been remarked with
the growth Of the temperance move
ment and popularity ascribed to it. It is
only recently that a side light has beer
thrown upon the real cause of their
effacement. This is the insuficiency OF
what has come to be known as the tank.
For a long time dinners of state have
facetiously been held to be periods OF
gloom. It was the true word spoken il
Jest. It is now frankly admitted that
the modern stomach is unable to wrestle
with the procession of dishes at dinner
