GAME LAWS UPHELD.
Il Jury III Judge Lows Court Convicts
Dealer of Selling Wild Duck
Out of SEASON.

The case of Antonio Fedora, game-dealer
IN the Clay-street market, charged with
violating the game laws by selling wild
duck out OF season, was tried before jury
IN Judge Lows court Yesterday afternoon.
deputy Attorney General Jackson ap-
peared for the prosecution and Attorney
L. ID. Riordan appeared for the defendant.
Miss Eta Gladstone testified that on
October 80 she went to Fedoras stall and
purchased pair of wild ducks from the
defendant. In cross-examination she said
she used to be a dressmaker, but had been
employed by the Game Comm issioner
since the beginning of October. She told
Fedora that she wanted the ducks for her
mother, who was sick.
Frank Docherty, who accompanied Miss
Gladstone on her tour of the game and
poultry stores, testified that he saw her go
into the market empty-handed and come
out carrying pair of wild ducks.
The defendant in his testimony thought
he had sold Miss Gladstone quail, but he
denied selling her wild ducks. Ii she had
not told him pathetic story of her
mother being sick he would not have
listened to her. In cross-examination he
admitted that he had been arrested and
pleaded guilty to selling wild doves con-
trary to law.
After counsePs address the jury retired
and in a few minutes returned with a ver-
dict of guilty. Judge Low reserved SEN
tence till tomorrow.
There are eight more cases on Judge
Lows calendar and Mr.. Jackson asked
that R. K. Malcolm's be first set for trial
Attorney Riordan protested against NAL
colm's case being tried, as his partner,
Campodonlco, had been already acquitted
by jury. Jackson was insistent and re-
marked that the verdict in the Campo
donico case was a miscarriage Of Justice
and the jurors should be indicted by the
Grand Jury.
The Judge declined to take up NAL
colm's case first and finally it was agreed
TO hear the case OF Charles Nauman
Tuesday afternoon.

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE.
Two Scions of Spanish Aristocracy
Wanted the Charge of
EmbeZZIemeut,

Mrs. Celia Ortega, $50 Minna street,
swore out warrant in Judge Lows court
yesterday for the arrest of Santiago Ala
and Francisco Ala on the charge of en-
bezzlement. The articles embezzled are
lady's gold watch, chain and locket and a
diamond ring of the value of $3.50.
Mrs. Ortega said that Santiago Ala had
lived in her house for four months while
he was receiving instruction as to run
ming locomotive on the Southern Pacific
Railroad. He belonged to an artist ocratic
Spanish family, but had no friends here.
''We took quite an interest in the young
man." said Mrs. Ortega. Recently he
went to Mexico and returned, bringing
with him his cousin Francisco. They
stopped at hotel on Kearny street, but
visited us frequently. On Sunday night
they called, and during their visit Santiago
said he was going home and would like to
take a present to his sister. He admired
my watch and chain and said he would
like to see if he could not get them dupl-
Gated, which would be a nice present for
his sister. I gave him the articles, as [
had every confidence in him. Francisco
then said he would like to take present
of a diamond ring like mine to his cousin,
so I let him have it.
"They promised to call Monday night
and show me their purchases, but we have
not seen them since. | went to the hotel
on Kearny street and found that they had
not been there since Sunday night, so [
suspected they had betrayed my conf
dence."
The police think that the two scions of
Spanish aristocracy have left the City,
taking the articles with them.

STRANGLED IN 4 CELL.
Joseph Abbott, a Prisoner in the
City Prison, Has a Narrow
Escape.
Matthew Maume, While Suffering
From Delirium Tremens, At.
tackS Him.

Matthew Maume of Natoma street,
nearly strangled Joseph Abbott to death
in cell in the City Prison yesterday
morning.
Maume was arrested Tuesday night on
suspicion of having committed burglary.
He was locked up in the ''tanks" pending
All investigation. He had the appearance
of having been drinking heavily, but
nothing was thought to be the matter with
him.
Early yesterday morning he demolished
one of the toilet-rooms and made things
lively for the TRUSTEES" and officers on
duty. He grew quiet after a while, but
was removed to cell in the prison proper,
where six other prisoners were confined,
so that he could be constantly under the
eyes OF the TRUSTEES"
About o'clock, without moments
warning, he sprang upon Abbott and
threw him on the floor of the cell. He
grasped him by the throat with both
hands and commenced to strangle him.
The other prisoners yelled for help and
threw themselves upon Maume, who was
foaming at the mouth aud seemed to be
bereft of his reason.
There was a wild rush to the cell, and
Maume was dragged off Abbott, who had
turned black in the face and would have
been a corpse in few minutes longer if
not rescued. Maume fought like a wild
beast till the handouts were put on him.
He was then taken to the Receiving Hos
pital and placed in padded cell. He was
suffering from a bad attack OF delirium
tremens. For several hours after being
put into the padded cell he was maniac,
trying to climb up the partitions with
hands and feet till nature gave out and he
lay on the floor of the cell exhausted,
Maume at one time held responsible
position in the gashouse, and was looked
upon as clever and well-educated young
man. When his mother died she left con-
siderable money to be divided among the
children, and Maume since then has
squandered his share in last living

THE POINT LOBOs CLUB.
Officers Chosen for the Ensuing Year-A
Grammar Glass Wanted.

The meeting of the Point Lobos I'M
provement Club last evening at Mohr-
mann's Hall, corner of Fifth avenue and
Clement street, was well attended and a
great deal of local interest was manifested
in the work of the organization.
New officers were elected as follows: g.
R. Fletcher, president, succeeding T. G.
Parker, who presided last evening; c. E.
Ray, vice president; w. P. Johnson, Sec
retary; Chris Mohrmann, treasurer.
The appointment of the executive COM
mittee was postponed until the next meet
ing. A committee was appointed to wait
upon the Board of Education and request
that grammar class be added to the
Richmond School at First and Point
Lobos avenues, consisting of Luke Battles,
T. G.. Parker, James WlnsloW, c. E. Ray,
r. M. woods.
A committee consisting Of Messrs. Ray
Woods and Parker was appointed to con-
fer with the Park Commissioners and the
railroad company and ask them some
pointed and pertinent questions concern
ing the non-fulfllment by the railroad of
the provisions of its Point Lobos-avenue
franchise.

work had been approved by legal in
spector, Mr.. Lowe, and that there could
have been no intention of any one to de-
fraud, because it would only have cost
81 80 to have made the legal excavation.
AS to the second count, that no tar paper
had been laid under the concrete sidewalk
at Van Ness and Union, the whole con-
tract only amounted to $42, and the cost of
the missing tar paper was but 81 80. 1t
was held at that time, too, that the use of
tar paper was a detriment instead Of a
benefit, since the moisture made the paper
rot, and the pavement had tendency to
sag in consequence. However, the work
had been approved by legal inspector be-
fore approved by Mr.. Ashworth.
In the case of the Ellwood-street bitumi-
nous pavement being of uneven thinness,
Mr.. Ackerman said he would show that
no material was saved on that job. In the
center of the street the bitumen was and
81 inches in thickness, which was con-
siderably above the legal requirement, and
where the bitumen was trlt1e below
specifications was at the cutters, where it
was necessary to leave slope for water
shed. And if there had been saving of
material, the saving was of such diminu-
tive character as not to have tempted the
meanest deputy in Mr.. Ashworth's Office.
AS to the sewer on Broderick street not
being equipped with a sufficient number of
Y's, the defense would show that only one
Y, costing 35 cents, was omitted, and that
at the special request of one of the prop
erty-owners interested, Mr.. Morton.
The bltuminous pavement on Guerrero
street, between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth-this was the big gun of the prose-
cution from which the heavy shot was to
be fired-was laid during the term OF Mr..
Ashworths predecessor in office, Mr..
Ackerson. Mr.. ,Ashworth had nothing at
all to do with it. Thomas G. Williams
were the contractors, and the defense
would show that they had paid 10 cents
barrel more for the cement than the legal
requirement and that the pavement was
better than most of the work in the City
and as good as the best. Mr.. Ashworth
only approved the pavement after the
Street Committee of the Board of Super
visors had examined it and commended it.
The last count was the broken sidewalk k
on Chestnut street. near Stockton. This
was passed upon by legal inspector be-
fore Mr.. Ashworth approved it, and when
it broke Mr.. Ashworth compelled the con-
tractor to repair it.
Mr.. Ackerman said in conclusion that
the jurors might hold him to the proof for
all his statements and that he would show
that the prosecution was mean and malig-
nant in spirit.
Judge Murphy, at this point, declared
that he was too i'll to GO on with the trial
at present, and suggested an ad djournment
till next Monday. Both Mr.. Black and
Mr.. Ackerman at once agreed to this, and
an adjournment was taken till Monday
morning.

YOUNG ELOCUTIONIsTs.
Simple Method of Teaching Reading
in the Denman Grammar
School.

Some of the best work in the line OF elo-

partments of the public school system of

The principal and teachers OF the Den
man School have solved some of the vexing
problems of juvenile education, among
which none are more battling than that of
