An old soldier named Michael Mahoney.
who draws a pension. was in the Police
Court today on charges of concealed
weapons and threats, and the case went
over, because his counsel, Lawyer Sillers.
demanded jury trial Leander Van Ris-
wick, saloonkeeper at 11S LIST street, was
the prosecuting witness in the threats case,
while Policeman Langley preferred the
charge of concealed weapons. Mahoney
boarded at Van Riswick's, and some days
ago he paid two months board in advance.
Soon afterward he changed his mind about
his boarding place. and wanted one months
board refunded. The proprietor of the
place promptly told him that he did not do
business that way, and refused to refund
the money. Still the old soldier did not
give up hopes Of getting his money, and
he went to law to get 1t. Justice Harper
decided the case against him, and yester-
day Mahoney, who, it is alleged. had
been drinking. repeated the threats. and
had a pistol, which was produced in court
this morning. Mahoney is out on security
and the case will probably be tried next
week

posed by a number of the delegates, on the
ground that to do so would be rather ex-
pensive and result in spending money
earned in the District outside of the Dis

it shall be thought wise to have picnic

expended will benefit the people from

meantime with their respective locals and
