RAIDING A DIVE.
A DOZEN PRISONERS CAPTURED By TIE PO-
LICE LAST NIGHT,
At the Italian Joint in the Second Ward-A
Fight Between WOmsn-A Threat to
Shooi-0thsr Criminal News.

Last evening about o'clock Officers
West and Herbert were called to the
notorious saloon kept By Louis Bach
ELI, at No. 927 Market street, by the
report that q fight was in progress.
Entering the place they found Pearl
Cavalli, formerly Pearl Carr, and Lizzie
Neal all mixed up on the floor, tearing
each others hair and filing the air
with vile imprecations. They were
separated, and with Mollie Ayres, who
was also in the place, were taken to the
City Hall and locked up.
Later, by direction OF Chief McNichol,
Lieutenant Gaus and officers West and
Herbert went back to the place and
made general raid, arresting Louis
Bachili, William Jones, John Jennings,
Mrs. Menken, Mollie Terrell and Lizzie
Carliss. All were more or less under
the infuence OF drink and all were
locked up. BachilIi has no license, but
his place is none the less resort for
tough characters and there seems to be
about as much intoxicating drink there
as when the saloon was running regu-
larly,
About o'clock last night there was
a fight in Benwood near the Wheeling
line. About half a dozen men took
part, and it created considerable excite
ment. There were several knock
downs, and one OF the combatants had
his nose badly injured. No arrests
were made at the time of the scrap, but
it is said arrests will follow.
Last night Waterman Dunlap looked
into the rear room Of Second ward
saloon, where a man was sitting with
girl. The fellow wanted to know what
the officer was after, and not getting
satisfactory reply, he hit Dunlap. The
two had quite scrap, which ended In
the stranger making his escape.

Escaped Conviction.

The Smooth Plea Upon Witch All Tong
Escaped Conviction.
Ah Tong wss on trial in Judge Smiths
court yesterday upon a charge of playing
fan-tan. The mysteries of that seductive
game were explained to the Jurors by
means Of Layout" which was cap
tured in the raid when the defendant
was arrested. Several Chinese witnesses
awore that the game being played
at the time of the arrest was not fam
tan, but an " "eight-sided " game, some
what similar, but not the same, in
which there was no regular dealer or
cashier, but the players were
dealers in turn. The prosecution at
tempted to show that it was fan-tan. The
jury retired about o. clock and the ex-
pert testimony had evidently puzzled
them as to the nature of the game
played, for they did.not reach an agree
ment at once. as the prosecution had ex-
pected.
Finally, at 7 O'Clock, the jury came in
and found the defendant not guilty.
There were other arrests of Chinamen
at the same time All Tong was was ar
rested, and their trials follow right
along, one being set for today and an
other for tomorrow.

THE SUMMONS SUFFICIENT.

A Law Point Decided Yesterday by
Judge Shaw.
Judge Shaw yesterday decided the sp-
peal case OF Bell va. California Publish
ing company in accordance with the
following brief opinion:
"On February 2Sth this cause as
submitted and the appellant was allowed
10 dAya in which to file brief. Nearly
two months have elapsed and no brief
has been filed in the case. The court
will therefore decide the case without
argument. The defendant has appealed
from the judgment below ON questi ona
OF law alone. No statement of the caDs
was made or settled. The only cues
tions of law which can be considered,
therefore, are those which appear on the
face of the record. The only point urged
on the submission of the case was q con-
tention that the summons was irregular,
and for that reason it was contended the
same ought to be vacated and the iudg-
ment reversed.
"The action is upon contract for the
recovery of money. The notice in the
summons ntates that unless the defend
ant appears and answers the complaint
the plaintiff will take the RELIEF az asked
for in the complaint. 1t does not state
that he;plaintiff will take judgment for
the sam of $3.50 and costs Of sut
against the defendant, as, according to
the letter of the code, it should have
done.
"On account of this defect the defend
ant urges that it is not suffic to sup
port the judgment. The summons,
however, also contains statement that

tersd and Robbed of Much Jewelry.
The southwestern part of the city has
suffered greatly from the depredationa
Of the festive burglar during the past

at 145 West Adams street. and stole
about $500 worth Of jewelry.
The thief entered by means of q lad
der, going through each room on the
second floor while the family were sit

pieces OF jewolry were taken: Three
diamond rings, one emerald ring, three

BANQUET TO HUGH SMITH.

The Colored Friends of tho New OOun-
Gilman Honor Him.
The colored people of the Eighth ward
rendered Councilman Hugh J. Smith
banquet at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. @. Simpson on San Pedro street
last evening. Mrs. Simpson, with her
own hands, prepared the viands, which
were elaborate and on the old plsnta-
tion style, something that made those
present feel that they were once more in
their old southern home. The coiOred
people Wed with their white brethren in
the handsome manner in which they
served up the viands.
Hon. J. Marion Brooks was selected as
toast master by unanimous conaent.
The following well-known citizens and
Democrats we're present:
Hugh j. Smith, T. j. Scully of Riv-
erside, Henry Keafney, Edward Gerson,
Maj. d. b. Murphy Of San Francisco,
John MoriRrty, ex-Chief of Fire Depart
ment NJ. T.. Ourran, John Smith, j.
Hamilton and Capt. Alfred Bgnell.
After dinner speeches were in order.
Mr.. Brooks proposed the first toast, Our
Colored Friends. He said many had
thought that the word negro was term
odioue to the colored people, but such
was not the case. They were proud to
have the term applied to them. 1t was
the name of q great race of people. This
banquet was one long to be remem bered.
IL made him feel as il he WAS boy
again. Fond recoilections Of his boy
hood DAYS were brought back when,
with his colOred playmates. he used to
play marbles and chase the possum and
the coon from the persimmon trees in
Old Kentucky.
Councilman Smith responded to the
toast City Government. He said he
felt proud OF the occasion. He had al
ways been friend of the colored people,
and would see that they had proper rep
resentation in the city government if his
influence would avail anything.
Mr.. CurrRn responded to the toast
City Democracy. He said he had taken
but little interest in politics, but he
should hereafter urge that the Democra-
cy should see that there were more OF
the colored people in the employ of the
city. Today the Republicans had con-
troll of the city and not single colored
man was at work for the city.
Major Murphy responded to the toast,
Our New Councilman. He said if the
people of the Eighth ward had known
Hugh Smith as we'll as he did they
would have all voted for him. and pre-
dicted for the new councilman bright
record, of which all Democrats would
feel proud.
Alter a speech from Mr.. Simpson,
Mrs. Simpson said few words appro-
pirate to the occasion.
The meeting adjourned after passing
resolution that Mrs. Simpson Was the
best cook in the world, and Mr.. Simp.

A Case of MIstaken Identity Got n
Young Man Into Trouble.
A week ago Joseph Page, an Italian
fruit dealer on West Fourth street, was
held up in his own store by bold foot
pad. Detective Goodman got his work
in on the case and arrested boy named
Ellis Valincourt and, upon identifica-
tion by Page, charged him with grand
larceny.
The boy was examined in Justice Aus
tins court Yesterday and promptly dis
charged. Despite the fact that Page
identified him, the boy proved an alibi
and established the fact that the robbsr
was larger man.
Young Valincourt, however, is not an
angel by any means, for he has served
time in San Bernardino for stealth G
oranges. The awful crime was brought
up by the detective on the witness
stand, but the court excluded the tes-
timony.
