VIII nuo Broadway somehow.
A Swell Basso in Trouble.
William K. Tibbs 10 a swell young man
inutiug WIN MS parents in East Oakland.
MI: Iloos Is also musical young man,
ano mas for two years last past ed fed thu
fashionable congregation of fashionable
church with the music of his voice. He is
Dasso OF DO mean pretensinns.
Besides all this Mr.. Tibbs is very hardy
young man and is venturing ON the rim Of
very dangerous vortex.
his parents ale very respectable and
GOOD people aud have tried to point the
right road to the young man. but he must
nave. money with which 10 keep up his
END, and he has not always been particu-
lar as to just how he got it.
Some money he has borrowed and some
he has returned. But this is another
story.
In the church he attended Tibbs became
acquainted with young man named
Langley, and likewise with son of Mrs
Charles w. Howard. He spoke of an i'm
mense monthly revenue he received from
ENGLAND (he is an EngishmaD)-some $500
or $500 month. After while his big
talk had its effect, and when he wanted 10
ouy horse from young Langley his note
was taken for $50 without much question.
Ihe mole was made stronger by reason of
its being Endorsed by Mrs. Charles w.
Howard.
Time passed and the note was not paid.
The interest has not yet arrived from
England" he would say. But Langley
wanted his money. When pressed to the
wall by the importuuate Langley, in des-
peration Tibbs told him that the English
bank had gone under-succGmb bed to the
hard times.
Now. Langley was not to be so bluffed
de knew be VAS safe, so he finally called
upon Mrs. Howard. Imagine the astonish-
ment OF that good woman when she saw
her sign AZURE on that note. She had D OF
written that signature, and so stated. She
was mad, OF course, at the bold forgery,
and Immediately made the matter public.
And the horse. That animal is at a
small stable living on the best of oats and
gllt-edged hay and sleeps on the softest
ana warmest straw nightly. He has the
pest The sta bic affords in the way of equine
luXurles. and already his board bill
amounts to nearly as much as be is worth.
DE has almost eaten his head of, :" as the
old saw says, and when called upon to
deliver him W. the stableman says: "Oh,
no; pay us for his keep and then you may
take him."
Now, S34 is not much to pay for a
horse. but young Tibbs. no doubt, thinks
him very costly animal.
Scsnlau Shoots.
Officer Seaman took four shots at fee
ing fighter al an early hour yesterday
morning on Eighth street. The shots had
the effect of making the flying man turn
into yard, through which ne ran, and al
tempt TO get over side fence.
he got over the fence all right, but he
was IN hurry. Instead of dropping down
on The SOFT ground on the other side he
was surprised 10 hear crash. II had
popped through window. There was
terrific noise OF falling glass. The man
Ia
happened, and he was still more surprised
when he found himself in the hands of a
burly giant in long white robe. He had
jumped plump into the bedroom Of Police
Officer John Barnett, who was off duty and
dreaming of places where there is no need
OF policemen. To say he was surprised is
drawing 1t mild; but his watchful In stinct
was uppermost, and he laid hands on the
intruder on his sweet dreams and privacy
He said to him gently:
81 guess you had better wait a little.
young man. Don't be in hurry. The
officers will be here in moment"
And the young man waited. He swore,
but he waited.
1t was all about girl. Al Ravens of
the w bltney Express Company had been
accosted at Ninth and Washington streets
by Two men, George Rowley and Virgil
Dimmick, and Rowley accused him OF in
sutting the sister of Dimmick, at the same
bottle. the blow from which stretched him
out. Rowiey and DImmick then ran.
Omcer Seaman conveyed Ravens to the
Receiving Hospital, ana on his return
spied Rowley walking up the street with a
girl 10 years of age, named Lizzie DuCau
A chase after Rpwey resulted aud he ran
into Barnetrs hands. He was taken to the
City Prison, as WAS also the young girl.
The latter explained her presence with
the man at that hour by saying that he
had betrtended her and had paid her room
rent. She said she had no dishonorable
relations with him. She was allowed to
60. bat Rowley was locked up on a failure
TO raise $1,000 necessary bail. Ravens was
pretty badly stunned by the blow, but is
now all right.
Rowley states that he struck Havens be-
cause he had insulted Dimmick's sister.
but that he did not in tend TO strike him SO
hard. The police say Rowley has been
speedy" in times past, but that his repu-
tation is good.

Mrs. Martin Again.
Dr. Stratton is looking about for quar-
tiers for Mrs. Martin. now lying sick at the
County Jail. 1t is absolutely necessary to
perform an operation. but she will not
submit to it in her present quarters.
At first she wanted TO go to Fabola, but
that being out OF the question she is now
willing TO compromise on the Receiving
Hospital, and yesterday the County Physi-
clan was at the Receiving Hospital looking
for place for the woman.
The warden there has only about sufi-
cient room for present needs. and is doubt
