LOUIE COON GOES FREE.
The Evidence Would Not Convict Hin
of XaqrancY.

Louie Coon was charged in the Po-
lice Court yesterday with being a
vagrant officers Higgins and Nagle
testified that he hung around the
gambling houses at Fourth and 1
streets, apparently acting as lookout
to warn the gamblers of the approach
of the police. When they approached
he would go inside and they would
either find the doors Of the place closed
or those present playing some game
that was not illegal. They were con-
fident that stud-horse poker was being
played in the place and had been trying
to capture the game. Coon Is not a
California Indian.
Officers Douglas and Hardy testified
to the same effect
e. c. Hart, Goon's attorney, argued
that there was no element of vagrancy
shown The presence of a police officer
IS terrifying TO a foreigner and the
Chinese have high respect for the
officers, and Coon probably went into
the house aSd shut the door under the
influence of that feeling whenever the
officers came along.
The court did not think the testimony
was sufficient to convict, but warned
Coon that he must act differently here
after.

Weather Report.

The Weather Bureau report shows the
highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 81 and 40 degrees, with
light southerly winds and clear weather
prevailing.
There was a light frost yesterday
morning.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were SO and AZ
degrees, and one year ago to-day 80 and
36 degrees.
The wind changed to the north dur
ing yesterday evening, but the velocity
was so light that 1t was scarcely strong
enough to cause the thermometer cups
or wind velocity gauge to move around.
The barometer is quite high and ought
to mean heavy and killing frosts, but
yesterday was the warmest day this
month so far, and the frosts observed
were very light ones.
