When the Board of Supervisors passed
the ordinance declaring Golden Gate and

was to close those streets for commercial
purposes. No business wagons, trucks or
carts were allowed to travel upon them
except when delivering merchandise.
Street contractors who are laying con-

and the Mission have made those avenues
their favorite drives with heavy draught
horses and rollers. SkittIsh hor ses shy at

Court Between Attorney TreadweH
and Detective Curtin.
As result of the fracas in Judge Lows
court Friday night Attorney A. B. Tread
well and Private Detective Curtin were
each fined $20 with the alternative OF ten
days in Jail by the Judge yesterday morn
ing.
In passing sentence the Judge said:
detective Curtin called Mr.. Treadwell a
liar. There is no justification for such a
remark. Even if there be, in police
ourt order must be maintained. The con-
duct of Mr.. Treadwell was equally unjus-
tifable and the whole affair was disgrace
ful."
Attorney T-eadwe asked that the fine
be remitted as he had been punished quite
enough by having to pass several hours In
prison. He claimed that the Judge had
no power to punish him twice for the same
offense. "My Spanish blood" said the
attorney, "arose above the Saxon and
when resented an insult you sent me to
Jail"
Reel B. Terry appeared for Curtin and
said they were willing to have the fine
against Treadwell remitted. He admitted
that his client had made remarks that
were not called for and he asked for time
to enable Curtin to get the $40. Later
Curtin paid the fine.
The Judge insisted that Treadwell
should pay the fine or go to Jail, but gave
him time to get the money.

said the deacon, who had come up from
Broome county for few days, "I'm

just below Binghampton," quotes the

Zone year ago was fishing there

ping big bite-that is, it was fair bite.

antly. 81 thought you would say
that. And you are right, too. But
that Is nothing. My fish, fine perch,
had got free from the snag and by his
peculiar method of wabbling the other
hook along had done just the right
thing to attract the attention of q
monster black bass | remembered
that bass very we'll. l had fshed for
him many time, but the perch was q
better fisherman than l, for he caught
him and never had even fairly hooked
him, although he had often taken my
bait
''Well, those two fish, when they
saw how it was, must have fixed it up
between them to put up job on some
body else. / almost think they DELHI
erately worked a morsel of angleworm
from one of the hooks out on to the
yard fine between them, and then
foated around with the line stretched
taut until they got bite, for, when ]
pulled up, there was my perch on one
hook, my old friend, the bass, Topping
on the other hook, and between them,
squirming and twisting and making a
bustIing big gimlet Of himself, was ar
eel, as large as my arm. He had shut
his teeth SO tight on the line that he
couldn't let go. Yes, sir, there they
were, all three of 'em. Now, what dc
you think of that?"

Court VIII Probably Be stiffened.
That the supreme court of the United

way George Burt, late of Winnebago,
Dakota county, Nebraska, sums up the
recent decision that lager beer is not a
spirituous liquor and that traders may
sell it to the Indians without being
held liable for violating the law which
has been on the statute books for so
many years. Burt has been away from
the Indian country for five years, but
his eighteen years experience on the
frontier enables him to speak as one
with authority.

If they ask us why we did not en-

that when we have restored the money
of the constitution, all other necessary
reforms will be possible, and that until
that is done there is no reform that can
be accomplished. (Cheering.) Why is
it that within three months such a
change has come over the sentiments of
this country? Three months ago when
it was confidently asserted that those
who believe in the gold standard would
frame our platform and nominate our
candidate, even the advocates of the
gold standard did not think that we
could elect president, but they had
