DR.. @. @. Osborne WAS arraigned in
Justice Seaman's court yesterday on
two charges. The first preferred by
Mrs. Heffner OF the New Dennison hotel
charges that Osborne disturbed the
peace Of the hotel on Saturday last.
From the statement Of Patrolman Hen
derscn who was called in, it seems that
Osborne, while in an intoxicated con-
dition accused everyone in the house OF
robbing him of valuable letters written
to him by the wife of man who was
mysteriously murdered some time ago.
Osborne claimed that the letters con
tained requests to him not to divulge
the guilt of the writer in connection
with the murder. He persisted in
stating that the letters had been stolen
from him and commenced to threaten
to kill everyone in sight. He was dis
armed Of an ugly looking IA Colts re-
volver and taken to the station.
Yesterday a complaint was sworn to
in which 1t is alleged that Osborne
threatened to murder Mr.. and Mrs. S.
III. Wood and also Mrs. Heffner.

ing on July 18th, the defendant pleading
| not guilty to both charges through his
/ attorney, H. ]. Crawford.
TWO MEN AND DoG.
Juan Garcia and Trinidad Buerella, a
pair of brigandish looking Mexicans,
were arraigned before the same justice
yesterday on charge of petit larceny.
Both men have been convicted of SINH
lar offenses on several previous occa-
sions, and while Garcia was tried yes-
terday, a felony was preferred against
Buerelia on account of previous convic-
tions.
Garcia was charged with stealing
three chickens, the property of Mrs.
Morrison. The fprisoner was seen by
several people, in company with Buer-
ella who held bag while mis- compan-
ion shared the poultry.
| 1t appeared from the evidence that
the worthy pair have trained dog who
! has been educated to such pitch that
at the sight of live chicken he imme-
diately picks it up in his teeth, kills it
and conveys it to his masters. Garcia
went upon the stand in his own behalf
and told touching tale.
He said that he and his companion
were strolling down the street when
they saw a savage dog, ruthlessly at
tacking three little chickens. The
chickens were 80 young and helpless
that the hearts of himself and his COM
panion were torn with pity and they
drove away the cruel dog and placed the
little chickens in their bag in order that
they might return them to their owner.
After unburdening himself OF the
above effort, Garcia sat down with a
satisfied expression on his features,
which underwent a sudden change as
| Justice Seaman murmured softly, $3.50
or 80 days." A 4' }sNa0goa
Buerella will be examined on the
felony charge on July IA. ysn0m s's

7. Wickersham and Sam Bonura had
an alteration Sunday during ball
game. Wickersham ended it by knock
ing Bonura down and brutally kicking
him. When on the stand, Wickersham
| endeavored to explain his conduct by
saying that he kicked Bonura uncon-
sciously; he always acted that way
when he was excited or ratified. The
police officer who made the arrest gave
the unconscious kicker bad character,
and Justice Seaman fined him $5 and
discharged Bonura.
