Mrs. Mary Fleming Arrested with Her
Neglected Child Of Three Months.
Mrs. Mary Fleming was arrested yester-
day at s641z Mission street by Officer Hol-
brook of the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children. Mrs. Fleming had
with her a three -months-old child when
she was arrested, puny little thing, not
much more than skin and bones, who.
Notwithstanding her age, hardly weighs
10 pounds. A few weeks ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Fleming came into an inheritance of
about $500, and since that time they have
both been drinking and their little child
has been badly neglected. The neighbors
have com planned.
When Officer Holbrook arrived at 1854 x
Mission street yesterday Mrs. Fleming
seemed to be on the edge of delirium
tremens. She was also suffering badly
and complained. that her husband had
choked her and hurt her back. Mrs.
Fleming was taken to the Central police
station and booked for cruelty to children.

your own case and you will understand

WANT THE FEE RETURNED.
Executors of the Miranda Lux Estate
Claim They We're Overcharged.

Executors of the Miranda Lux Estate
Claim They Were Overcharged.
Another suit has been filed in conse-
ouence of the alleged overcharge made by
the County Clerk for filing an inventory.
Yesterday the executors of the will OF
Miranda Lux made complaint that $500
had been charged for filing the inventory
of the estate, and they sued the City and
County for $770 which is the amount said
to have been paid in excess OF what is le-
gally due.
The $500 charged by Mr.. Curry was de-
manded under section 1853 of the county
government act, approved March "a 1893.
which act, the plaintiffs contend, does
not apply in their case, as the proceed
ings were begun before the act went into
effect.
Argument as to the fee in the Eisen es-
tate was heard by Judge Coffey. The at
torney in that case also claims to have
been overchaged by the County Clerk.
The matter was not finished but will be
argued further.

LET THE JURORS CO,
Judge Daingerfeld Discharges
the Panel That Tried the
Quill Case.
Their Time Had Expired and He
Entertains No Charges of
Malteasauce.

The entire panel of jurors that has been
serving in civil cases in Judge danger
fields court was on Monday dismissed.
His Honor, in excusing them, remarked
that the charges in the Quill case had
nothing to do with his action, but that
their time was up week ago..
Judge Dainger6eld said, in part:
az desire to make statement to such
Jurors as are present in the courtroom re-
lating to the expiration of their term of
service. You are doubtless aware, gentle
men. that there have been certain un-
pleasant things said and done in regard to
your panel, and it happens, by an unfor-
tanate coincidence, that we had in con-
temptation the discharge of the panel be-
cause of the ordinary service of time, Just
at this juncture we were waiting for a
court day, or for elbow-room in the calen-
dar whereby we could give the Sheriff time
TO summon a new yenlre.
'In taking leave of you, gentlemen,
there is grave danger, unless / make these
remarks, that the community may have a
false impression that l am discharging
you because of some dissatisfaction.
desire to state here that such is not the
case. The fact that you are discharged
and that your services have terminated in
que course, IoiloWluR so soon upon the
unpleasant developments of the past week
and of the week before vacation, might
make people think, unless l rebut the pre-
sumption by these remarks, that I had
some prejudgment in the matter. desire
to dIsclaim any opinion upon the unpIeas-
ant charges ore way or the other. and in
terminating your services I desire to
express my pleasure and satisfaction at
the general tenor of your verdicts and at
