SMITH FOUND GUILTY.
THE PUGNACI0US TOM FINED
AFTER MANY DAYS.
The Defendant is L~gislating in sacra-
mento, But viii Be Sentenced
This Afternoon.

On the Goth of last October crimina
complaint was fled in the justice courI
charging Tom Smith with ''using force
and violence upon the person of R. A.
Ling"
Although it was only a battery case,
it fingered along without trial. At last
half dozen attempts were made to
bring the case to an end, but continu-
ance after continuance was granted.
A week or two ago the case was called,
when the defendant, Smith, failed to
show up. A telegram from a Santa
Monica physician announced that Smith
was ill and unable to be present. That
looked questionable from the very fact
that he had gained many continuances
before. and Judge Austin instructed the
district attorney to look into the truth
of Smiths alleged illness.
Shortly afterward the district attor-
ney went out of office, so the m after
Jagged until it was called in Justice
Morrison's court yesterday morning.
To the surprise of many the defend
ant failed to appeal. Attorney ]. Marion
Brooks, his counsel, appeared in his
stead. Without much ceremony Mr..
Brooks announced. that his client was
not in the city; that he was in Sacra.
mento as q member of the legislature,
though the attosney waived the ex
EN- ption" and said he WAS willing to
have the trial procssd. In fact. the at
torney went farther and wanted to en-
ter plea of guilty and have the case
concluded at once
The prosecution, Mesara. Willis and
James, attempted to have the bond OF
Smith forfeited on the grounds OF non.
appearance. but after some discussion
the whole matter was continued until 2
O'Clock.
When the case was called in the alter
noon Mr.. Brooks stated that he was res
sponsible for Smiths absence. having
advised him. as q lawyer. that his pres.
ence was not absolutely necessary.
Thersupo1 Smith went to Sacramento
to accept position OF some kind in the
legislature. Mr.. Brooks moved that the
trial proceed.
This was strongly opposed by the
prosecution. Judge Ling, the defend
ant, also argued in behalf OF the forfeit
ure, and took especial pains to state that
Smith had tritled with the courts. Dep
uty District Attorney Willis stated that
he was positive that on former occa-
sion when the telegram was sent to the
effect that Smith WAS i'll in Santa Mon
lea the defendant wac well, and that the
telegram wss false.
The discussion was ended by the pros
ecution consenting to try the case in the
absence OF the defendant, and the taxi
ing OF evidence was commenced.
Judge Ling was first PLACED upon the
stand. He testified that Smith assaulted
him without the slightest provocation
or cause. But little other evidence was
heard. and Judge Morrison at once
pronounced Smith guilty. He will be
sentenced this afternoon at 4 O'Clock.

BR0CKMEIER'S PLANE.
HE SUES THE LANDLORD FOR
EXEMPLARY DAMAGES
Because tho stock and Fixtures of Hts

wink in this Night.

j. P. Brockmaier kept cigar, fruit end
candy stand at 6l9 South Broadway
until the h of this month, but he Ia
there no longer. He paid 500 per
month for the store and is willing to
go on paying that sum every rent day,
but the chances are very much against
him. Mr.. Brock meier met with most
unpleasant gu rprise on Thursday morn.
ing when he came to open up his store.
He found that there was no need OF
doing so because there was a fresh lock
upon the door and his fixtures and
stock were strewn over the sidewalk in
front OF thu es tablishm ent erstwhile oc-
cupied by him.
That is tho reason that Mr.. Brock
meir yesterday commenced an action
against Major E. w. Jones, his land
lord. TO recover $1,000 damages and for
the restitution of the store. He claims
that he was in actual and peaceful pos.
session OF the premises on the oh, but
during the night following some men in
the employ OF his landlord entered the
premises while Mr.. Brockme was
home and elee ping in bed, and
threw his stock worth $75 and his FIX
lures, valued at $125. out on the side
walk. There must have been consider
able forcs used at the evictory process
because the plaintiff complains that q
good deal OF the goods were damaged or
broken.
He futher alleges that he has been
deferred from re entering tho store by
threats OF bodily violence and even
menaceo that hs would be killed if ne
dared to make q denomination in that
direction. Hence it is that he wants
exemplary damages.

The Eastern war Cloud.

John Bull is purple with rage over the
report that q treaty has been effected be-
tween Russia and China by which the
latter virtually becomes suzsrain of the
great Muscovite power. Great Britain has
just reason for alarm over this brilliant
achievement of Russian diplomacy.
Should the reported treaty stand, English
trade interests In China would suffer a
disastrous and probably crushing blow.
The situation is complicated by the fact
that Japanese interests also are seriously
imperiled, inasmuch as, by the terms Of
the treaty in question, Russia becomes
master of Corea, over whose independ-
ence the Island Empire went to war with
China. All in all there is the prospect OF
q first-class shindy in the Orient, in
which Great Britain, Russia, France and
Japan will play the part Of chief COM
batants. The developments Of this inter-
national wrangle will be followed with
world wide attention.
