HE REMOVED HIS TRUNK.


John Ssnich Cots Into Trouble With =
Landindy.
Mrs. M. Hodyetts has the undeniable
pleasure of conducting q lodging house
at 3551s South Spring street. In the
capacity of lodging house proprietress
she gained the costly friendship OF John
Senich.
John Senich conducts the San Fran
cisco chop house, near the corner OF
Fourth and Spring, but formerly resid-
ed in Pasadena, where he got tangled
up in tbs intricacies OF the prohibition
ordinance.
Senich has been rooming at Mrs.
Hodgett's house. He always impressed
himself upon her ss being remarkably
honest man, and upon such impression
he borrowed 500 from the landlady.
Besides displaying nerve in the borrow
ing line, be also STOOD her off, for
SIP so back room rent.
He attempted to move bis trunks
from the house yesterday without set
tling accounts. She strenuously opposed
any such proceeding, " hen he attempted
to carry out HE intentions by force. A
man stepped in and told Senich to lust
make one more move" A policeman
arrived on the scene, and bloodshed was
prevented and the trunks remained.
An hour or two later Ssnich quietly
crept up stairs and clsndestinely re-
moved the trunks. Then the landlady
applied to Deputy District Attorney
Rust for a warrant charging Senich with
deirauding lodging house.

A YOUNG woMANs REVENGE.

A Waitress Usss q Cowhide Upon q Gay
Hotel Clerk.
An occurrence took place in we'll
known hotel last Wednesday which
oecssionsd ripple Of excitement among
the guests and employees of the host
elry.
1t appears that for some time past one
OF the clerks has cast glsnces of sdmira-
ton toward certain member of the
other sex employed in the hotel, and
followed these glances with advances
which the Young woman in question
received with scorn. The admirer re-
taliated by spreading reports which
tended to Jarnish her fair name.
These reports reaching the ears of her
friends, were repeated to her. and re-
suited in a scheme for revenge which
was soon carried into effect.
The girl in the case ia waitress at
the hostelry.
At 10 O'Clock last Wednesday morning
three OF the other Mattresses, Sd the
story goes, suddenly seized the clerk in
Q corridor Of the hotel and tightly held
him.
The girl whose character had been
traduced at once drew a cowhide from
the folds of her gown and administered
a severe castigation. soaring the young
mans face and cutting his ears badly.
The man. after receiving quite num-
Der of blows, broke away from his femi-
nine captors, and seizing the woman
whom he had talked about, wrssted the
whip from her hands and wac about to
apply it to her person.
He was at once seized by the other
spectators and securely held. After
being allowed to calm down, he was re-
leased.
The affair is poked at the young man
on every hand, but he has 80 far failed
to see where the joke comes in.
