rather good-loobing youth, was on trial be-
fore Judge Smith, yesterday. on charge
of stealing saw out of Boone's carpenter
shop. The boy claims to have found the
saw in an alley some two or three weeks
before he left Boone's employ. The prose-
cutting witness was behind time, and an at
tachment was issued for him. Shortly
after the individual in question rushed into
the court room, out of breath, and pre-
sented himself before the bench. "How is
this, SIR" asked Judge Smith in most
severe manner, "were you brought in on an
attachment" mo, your honor" replied
the witness, II came afoot." When the
smile subsided the trial was proceeded
with, but was not concluded at the hour of

DID 1T FOR SPITE,

Hrs. White Explains the Cause for Battery
Charge.
Several days ago reference was made in
these columns to a battery charge brought
against Mrs. White by some colored peo-
pie named Mcdonald. The latter claimed
that Mrs. White had struck their child be-
cause it had torn some pailings off fence
around property belonging to Mr.. White
on Eighteenth street.
Mrs. White asserts that an injustice was
done her by this statement, and that she
has been made the object of spite on the
part of the McDonalds. Some time ago Mr..
White purchased lot adjoining that of the
McDonalds. Mrs. Mcdonald went into
Mr.. Whites lot and removed two orna-

Must Have More Evidence

Pretty Bertha Petri, aged 15 years, was
before Judge Mckinley yesterday for ex-
animation as to her qualifications for the
reform school at Whittier. The child's
mother alleged that she was beyond paren-
tai control, and persisted in going with i'm
proper characters. The child was anxious
TO go to the school. as she said her home
life was unpleasant, and she remained
away as much as possible. Judge McKin-
ley declined to commit the child on the
mothers testimony alone, as her father is
living in the city. He therefore continued
the hearing until Monday afternoon at ?
O'clock

was too harsh sentence, concluded TO
plead not guilty and stand trial.
