Mrs, Irene Ursula Brizzee yesterday

Mrs. Irene Ursula Brizzee yesterday
began suit for divorce from her hus-
band John Brlzzee. The plaintiff is
resident of Goldfeld. The parties were
married IN June, 1892. The petition
alleges failure to provide and incident
ally states that the respondent is
profigate and dissipated. The custody
of their baby is asked for.
The first thing that met the gaze of J.
W. Doris when he came down street
on Sunday morning was vacancy on
the sidewalk in front of his rlace of
business where a large cook stove stood
the night before. His soul was filled
with admiration for the enterprise of
the thief who had carried it off and he
wondered if it would have made any
difference If there had been fire in it.
He subsequently learned that couple
of the Trask- Kessler company's clerks
had added it to the stock of groceries of
that firm.
Thomas West was picked up by As
sistant Marshal Wickham on Saturday
night in what the officer believed to be
state of helpless drunkenness. Among
his personal belongings was a six
shooter which was made the basis of
another charge against him. Yesterday
morning in police court he said that
before the officer found him he had ap-
piled for admission to the Jail. He is
believed to be insane from the excessive
use of opium. Pending further in
vestigation of his case he is held in
custody.
There was hold-up in broad day
light on Washington street opposite the
Gardiner block yesterday. A small
colored boy was coming down street
on an errand to grocery store. He
was met by man who observed that
he had some money in his hand and
grabbed it. He got fifty cents and
started away, the boy in pursuit max
ing clamorous demand for the money.
When they reached the southern part
of the city the man turned and picking
up stone discouraged his young pur-
suer. The boy hurried to Wall street
and got an officer, but they were unable
to find the thief.
The trial of the case of Barney Grant
against J. J. Casey to recover wages
was tried in Justice Johnstone's court
yesterday. The defense was that there
was. contract between the parties by
which the plaintiff was to work one
month and that he violated the contract
by quitting before the end of the time.
A counter claim was also introduced for
damage to the defendants property
growing out of the defendants violation
of the contract. The court decided that
the defendants negligence had been
contributory to whatever damage had
been sustained and that the evidence
did not show that there had been a con-
tract at all. A judgment was rendered
against the defendant.
There is no fairer man in America
than Recorder Schwartz and there is
no more patriotic man. 1t is rule of
his that no man shall be fined for
drunkenness in his court on the day
after the Fourth of July or Decoration
Day. He recognizes that that is the
way some people give expression to
patriotic sentiment. Yesterday Dolores
Flores was up for drunkenness. The
day before was neither Fourth of July
nor Decoration Day, but it was La INDIE
pendencia of the Mexicans. The re.
corder literally held that a Mexican
had right to get drunk under such
patriotic surroundings and he dis
charged him.
