HELD TO ANSWER,

Justice Davis Did Not Take Much
stock in Grinter's Story.
James Grinter and Mamie White were
held to answer on Saturday by Justice
Davis in the Police Court on charges of
having assaulted George Lohmeyer with
deadly weapon, with intent to commit
murder, on the night Of the 18th Of this
month.
The woman testified that she met Grin
ter in San Francisco about four months
ago. On the night of the 18th. she saws.
she met Lohmeyer on Seventh street. be-
tWee X and l., and took him to be a
friend OF one OF her acquintances. Lob
meyer replied that she had not made n
mistake and SAID he knew her They
both went TO the woman's room, on l.
street, between Seventh and Eighth.
W hat followed after Grinter made his adj
vent on the scene has been published.
and IS no doubt by this time familiar to
the reading public.
Grlnter testified that he is polo PLAYER
and clerk by occupation. When ask ed why
he had said he was married to the White
woman, he said it would appear better 10
have 1t known that she was his Wife
when In fact they were not married. On
the night of the trouble his mind
became impressed with the IDEA that
somebody was trying TO lead her astrav.
lie told her that night that he was going
to San Francisco. But instead of doing
SO he walked around town for awhile.
and then returned to where she was stop
ping. Suspecting something was wrong
he armed himself with a stick Of wood,
with which to defend himself IN case of
trouble. lie then hid himself in a closet
for short time, and then went into the
room where the woman aud Lohmeyer
were.
Grinter said he walked to the bed. and
1t being dark in the room, he could not
see very well who was on the bed, He
1eIt around for awhile and his hand came
into contact with the woman. ON max
ing further search he caught hold of
Lohmeyer's leg. The latter then iumped
out Of the bed and commenced sIashiDp
him with a knife.
Grinter said that when he entered the
room he placed the stick OF wood on the
bureau. As soon as Lohmeyer COM
menced cutting him he endeavored to get
the billet, and struggle ensued. He OBJ
talned possession OF it, and not until after
he had been considerably cut up did ne
use 1t on Lohmeyer's head.
The version OF the affair by the defeud-
ants did not appear to be very satistac-
tory TO Justice Davis, and he held both of
them to answer before the Superior
Court, and fixed their bonds at 81. 50D
each.

Poundinaster McNulty's Claim VIII
Be Argued March 9th.
The suit of Charles Heisen against the
city for the recovery of 81, 1919, the amount
claimed to be due ex-Poundmaster John
McNulty for the scalps of 2, 1919 dogs killed
by him between April, 1892, and Deem
Der, 1885, was on trial in Department One
of the Superior Court Saturday.
The city was represented by Corpora
ton Counsel Robert t. Devlin, and White,
hughes d Seymour appeared for Hell
sen.
The Corporation Counsel contended that
the income and revenue provided for the
city for the fiscal year ending April /,
1898, was fully expended before the pre-
sentation OF the claims by the plaintiff,
and that the claims were not created or
authorized by the assent of two-thirds OF
the qualified electors of the city voting at
an election held for that purpose. The
same applies to the funds for the fiscal
year ending January 6, 1894.
After all the evidence, both document
airy and oral, was introduced, the case
was continued till March 9th for argu-
ment.

FLORIDA'S CASE OF SOUR GRAPES.
Her 0range-Growers Jealous of Cali
fornia.
Circulating Reports Of Injury to Citrus
Crops in This State-No Founda-
ton for Them.

1t is an old saying that ''misery loves
company" and the actions of men bear
1t out often enough to compel its accepta-
ton as truism. This sometimes shows
itself very plainly where business inter-
ests clash and leads men to make asser-
tons and do things sadly at variance
with honesty and truth.
AS is well known, Florida orange
growers early in the season met with a
disaster in the shape of general freeze,
which destroyed the greater portion of
their crop and in many instances sadly
injured the orchards as we'll, giving them
setback from which it will take them
years to recover. AS a result, it is evil
dent that some of them would like to
drag California down in their company
and injure her prospects without advanc-
ing their own.
The following correspondence shows
what deliberate attempt has been made
to lnjure California, which has enjoyed
delightful winter, and where, in some
localities, cherries are already more than
half grown:
CHICAGO, February Is, 1895
Professor Moore, Auditorium YOaCer,
Cfty-DEAR SIR: Some of my Florida
friends in whom l am interested inform
me that there have been killing frosts in
California, destroying oranges, or good
part OF the crop, as well as in their own
section of the country.
1 would like some information on this
subject from the Weather Bureau Station
IN the orange section Of California.
Would 1t be too much trouble for you to
advise me in inclosed envelope to whom
to apply for this information. Yours
very truly, GEORGE MARTIN.
THE FACTS IN THE CASE.
Professor Moore referred this letter to
Director Barwick of the California
Weather Bureau, who writes TO the
beside furnishing a statement for the
Associated Press, which was last night
telegraphed TO the East. Director Bar
wick says:
Il hasten to produce the record Of low
est temperatures this season in the orange
Delts OF both Northern and Southern
California. The record shows the tenn
perature to have not been dangerous to
the maturing OF oranges al any time
Northern CalitOrDia-The lowest tenn
peratures this season were: At Oroyille,
so, in December; Palermo, PC, in De-
cemoer; Newcastle, 260, in January; Or
angeVRIe, 20, in December and Sacra-
mento, 3O0, in December and January.
southern CalifOrnia-The lowest tenn
peratures were: Arlington flights, 32o
IN January; Riverside, San Bernardino
and San Jacinto, 20, in January; on
tarlo, 81, in January; Pasadena, 34o, in
January; Pomona, 81, in January: Los
Angeles, 81, IN January; Santa Barbara,
81, in January.
The above, therefore, contradicts any
reported freezing or damage to the orange
crop OF this State, and should be widely
circulated throughout the East, so as &C
contradict any floating rumors of the

City Attorney Brown Asked the Court
to Let Him Go.
City Attorney Brown created quite a
breeze of excitement in the Police Court
Saturday afternoon during the progress
of the trial of deaf" Kelly, charged
with being vagrant.
The defense introduced evidence tend
ing to prove that Kelly was sick, and
that he was incapacitated from doing
manual labor. Kelly claimed that he
was arrested because he would not swear
to complaints charging Joseph and Will
lam Sprout with having committed a
burglary.
City Attorney Brown said there was no
doubt in the world but that Kelly is a
vagrant, and has been for number OF
years. He had been used, said tue City
Attorney, by number of local politl-
clans, as political ward-striker, but
now. as he is growing old and decreplt,
they intend to turn him out to die.
Notwithstanding the fact that he re-
garded Kelly as yagraut, the City At
torney asked for his discharge.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Browns re-
marks, the court ordered kelly's dis
charge.
