SCENES IN COURT.
Mollie MaIlan's Contempt
Punished.
A Prosecuting Attorneys Faux Pas.
An Attorneys Five-DolIar Hat
Disappears MysteriousIy.

There are some curious and amusing in
cidents in the Police Courts every day, ana
yesterday was exceptionally prolific in that
respect.
In Judge CampbeiPs court Molle Mahan,
a notorious Third-street character, who was
arrested by Officer O'Neil on Sunday night
for using vulgar language. created some
little excitement. After hearing the evil
dence OF the OH 'er Mollie pleaded for a
light sentence of twenty-four hours and
she would never appear in court again.
The Judge seemed inclined to deal len
iently with her, when O'Neil said that she
was one Of the worst women in San Fran
cisco.
"If that's the case" said the Judge, 81
will give her thirty days"
Mollie's pleading tears changed to bowls
Of vituperation against the officer.
'Oh, you dirty tarrler." she howed.
wait till l get out, I'll get even wild you"
And she ended by cursing him roundy.
"E ter another charge against that wo-
man." said the court, "fOr vulgar language"
u don't care d what you do" said
Molly. Give me six months if you like.
That dirty tarrier t. swear away an honest
woman's character"
Mollie was bundled out of the dock and
in few minutes afterward WAS brought
back for further sentence.
Il apologize, Judge. your Honor she
said. 81 was mad and forgot myself
well" said the court, "PH give you six
months more"
Thanks" said Mollie. with a tragic air.
The court afterward reduced the sentence
to three months.
Prosecuting Attorney Reed created laugh
by faux pas.
''In the case of Joseph B. Cook" he said,
this man, the defendant. has been found
guilty. and l move that the cases be dis
missed"
Il thought" said Judge Campbell, that
he had been indicted by the Grand Jury"
81 meant 10 say something ike that" said
The Prosecuting Attorney. What did /
say?"
'What you should have said" replied the
court was that the cases be stricken from
the calendar 1t is so ordered"
Judge CCnian's court seems TO be infected
with petty larcenists or practical jokers.
On Thursday an attorney removed a bolt
OF cloth, which was before the court in evil
dence in case OF burglary, a a practical
joke on the officers. He was charged with
petty larceny, but the case was dismissed.
Yesterday Attorney Fred Frey addressed
the court IN defense Of Ellen Smith. charged
with grand larceny. He had only a few days
ago become the proprietor of a new five
dollar hat, which he laid on the attorneys
table.
After concluding his address he looked
for his hat, hut it had mysteriously disap-
peared.
Your Honor" he said, "some person has
stolen my hat 1t Is too bad that in a court
OF justice an attorney cannot even place his
nat before him without its being stolen. 1t
is a contempt Of court"
Il shall certainly do all in my power"
said the court, ito discover the culDrit, and
if found will punish him severely"
He thereupon instructed the bailiff and
other officers to investigate the case, but the
missing hat has not yet been returned to its
rghtful owner

A YOUNG BANDIT.
Natural Result of Dive

A Telegraph Messenger Gets Bullet
in the Leg From a Boy
Highwayman.

When Charles Henderson, who lives at
lie Freedom street, walked into the Recev-
ing Hospital yesterday afternoon he was not
as fresh and spry as the 15-year-old telegraph
messenger-bo usually Is
He did not sing annie Rooney" or offer
odds on the Mitchell COrbett fight, but he
leaned against the operating table and
looked tired and pale as DR.. Deane pro-
ceeded to extract 22-caliber bullet from
his thigh
1t was only Il little bullet. it is true, but if
it had entered about TWO inches higher
Charles Henderson's chances of climbing
the golden stairs would have been exceed
ingly good.
A 22-caliber bullet is about the smallest
made, aud is not bigger than a pea, but it is
bad kind of Shot to get in the wrong
place.
In Charles Henderson's case it entered
just below the groin, and DR.. Deaue finding
1t had gone nearly through completed the
track and inserted a drainage tube.
The police officer who had small handful
OF the little cartridges preserved as evil
dence looked askance at the boys in the
anteroom, as much as TO say that with pro-
per training they might grow up into very
respectable hghb.nders and fire bullets big
enough TO kill man.
Henderson was very reserved as to the
affair, but admitted that he had been stood
up by an unknown boy of his own age, who
asked him for money. On his failure to
respond the lad drew tiny revolver and
fred the shot.
George Zimmerman. who was one of the
boy witnesses, SAID the stranger went up
to Henderson outside the telegraph Office
on TAYLOR street and Golden Gale avenue
about 4 o'clock in tina afternoon and said.
Have you got any dough? because | want
some" Henderson said he had no money,
aud the boy pulled out pistol and took
shot Mt him.
1t is thought that there may be more in
the matter than appears on the surface,
and the police are hunting for the little
rascal who is undertaking TO stand up"
messenger boys on the streets Of San
francisco in broad daylight.

COSTLY CANE.
Lynch and Dundon Quarrel
Over Sticks.
Bad Names and ShiIIalahs in a Ten
Thousand Dollar Damage Suit.
Who Owns the BIackthorn?

"He stole my fine blackthorn shillalah
ami called me thiefl'
And Patrick Lynch, the well-known
coal-dealer, locked Indignantly at the jury.
lie has sued Supervisor P. j. Dundon for
$4,000.
Not that the stick was anything extra
ordinary, for, as the irate Lynch ex-
planned, it was simply a plain backthOrn
brought from the old country and present
ed to him by his friend, Mrs. Margaret
Prendergast.
Ncr has he suffered very greatly on &C
count If the epithet, because he Is not even
sure that anybody heard Dundon call him a
thief.
But his honor-his sacred honOr-had
been lmpugned. and the appropriation of
the stick, he says, was simply cold steal,
and hence the rather eXtraY giant amount
81 the damages he claims.
This IS the way lie tells the story:
Il had the stick from Mrs. PTendergast
IN August, 1890, and l liked 10 carry 1t
about with me, for it reminded me Of the
finest little island in the world.
One u ighi, about the 9th of July, 1891,
attended a meeting at Father CrOwley's
house, being prominent In the work con-
necied with The Youths Directory, and
when l sat down l heard some one across
}
gentlemen, and IFS proud | am to say it,
Pat says lie, how are YEP
Il turned and there was Mr.. Dundon,
whom ! hardly knew at all.
"He says, Let's see your stick and
handed it to him, but when | came to ask it
back he says: It's mine, you stole it from
NE, you are thief
Il had too much respect. gentlemen, for
the reverend father to raise a rumpus ia
his house, but when Mr.. Dundon went to
leave | followed him into tie hallway and
asked him again for the blackthorn.
You're a thief and a scOundrel, ard you
emit get that cane says he.
Then says /, my dear sir, what should
a man of my years be doing stealing a
worthless stick Ike that? i have a gold
headed cane at home
Then he spoke up quite loud again, call
ing me thief. James r. Kelly, Colonel
OByfne. P. j. Sullivan and NJ. Flood were
EN- n. out just then, but whether or not
they heard the abusive language 1 don't
know.
Anyhow Dundon opened the door and
ran down the steps. l followed him, but he
jumps on a streeicar, and that was the last
saw Of him."
Mr. Lynch was then crOss-examlned as to
tie description of the stick. the defense be-

THE MONTEREY'S BOILERS.
Henry t. Scott Asks the "Times'' to
Produce It's Proof.

VI read the dispatch this morning stating
that the New York Times had reiterated Its
charges concerning the ruination of the
Monterey's boilers during her trial trip"
said President Henry T. Scott of the Union
Iron Works yesterday.
The paper says something about having
man who can prove what it asserts. All
l have to say is, let them produce their man
and then there will be something to their
talk, otherwise we will pay no attention to
anything the paper says. We will not
notice any more malicious statements about
the Monterey unless some authority is given
Tor the assertions, either by producing the
man who was alleged TO have been on board
at the time OF the trial trip or unless they
make an examination Of the boilers and
verify what they allege. That is all there
is to it.
We have produced the statements of the
Government officers in charge, who mi
nntely examined the boilers after the trial
trip, and have proved that even in the last
week the boilers of the Monterey have been
under 100 pounds pressure Thus we have
the oflclal reports of the trial board and an
actual demonstration by having steam up at
heavy pressure, showing that the boilers
are IN good condition. Besides the captain
OF the Monterey has expressed his willing
ness TO go TO sea at moments notice.
In view OF these facts it would be foolish
for us to notice the unsupported assertions
OF malicious publication, which ale made,
as said, cut of whole cloth"

THOSE WORTHLESS BONDS.
Bench Warrants Issued for the Re-
arrest of the Chinese Warrants.

In Police Court Judge Campbell yes
terday morning referred to the worthless
bonds accepted by Superior Court Judge
Trout for Lum Sing, Clip Sing, All Tong
and Long Lum, charged with vagrancy,
aud ordered that bench warrants be issued
for the arrest of the four men, whose bail
he had fixed at $500. The same course
will be promptly followed in similar cases.
In the present case the trouble will be to
find the released prisoners.
Sergeant Burke and his squad visited
several houses of il!-fame on jackson
and Pacific streets yesterday afternoon and
found fourteen highhinders. They received
an unmerciiul clubbing and kicking The
houses visited had not been Taided by the
police for some time back and the binders
had evidently thought they would have a
safe hiding place in them. In one of the
houses there were eleven binders aud tae
way the squad sailed into them was a
caution.
In Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday
Attorney }. +. Coffey began his argument
on demurrer TO the complaint against
several Chinese Tor visiting house of i'll
fame. His argument is that the mere fact
of visiting house of Ill-fame is not crime
and that the crime would consist in visiting
a house Of ill-fame for the purposes OF pros
tuition. The argument will be continued
today.

STILL ANOTHER DECISION.
One of the Appeals in the shag Rock

One of the Appeals in the Shag Rock
Case Is Dismissed.
The well-nigh interminable litigation
over the appeal from the judgment in the
Shag Rock case was renewed yesterday
morning in the Supreme Court.
1t will be remembered that the appeal
was first dismissed by the court. on the
ground that no bond had been filed, ard
that subsequently the court set aside its
order Of its own motion.
The case was argued yesterday morning
by G. J.. Tilden, who opened on behalf OF
Won Schmidt, the respondent He still
commended that the failure to file the bond
was fatal to the appeal.
Rhodes Borden of the City and County
Attorneys office replied to Mr.. Tilden, and
contended that the order of Judge Trout.
dispensing with the appeal bond, was legal,
and etfectually saved the rights of the ap-
pellant in the higher court.
The appeal from the judgment was there
upon dismissed, but the appeal from the
order Of the lower court denying the city
new trial has yet to be decided. Five days
were given the respective parties within
which to file briefs.
