TWO FELONY ATTACHMENTS.
John Nolan, the Knife WieIdcr, Held to Answer
for Assault to Murder.

Henry Blum, the alleged forger and
passer of bogus checks, was up before JUS
tice Morrison yesterday for arraignment,
and had his examination set for April at
"a. m. Complaints have been sworn to In
three different cases against Blum, and it
now seems probable that he will plead
guilty, as the evidence against him is most
conclusive.
John Nolan had his preliminary examin-
alton on charge of assault to kill Joseph
Hubert in the Cape Horn saloon the other
night. Nolan struck Hubert in the neck
with pocket knife without any provoca-
ton. The wound, however. was merely su-
perficial. Nolan, in his own defense.
claimed that he had the knife in his hand
cutting chew of tobacco and struck Hub
bert, but did not intend to kill him. Against
this was placed the testimony of Officer
Robbins, who stated that Nolan had told
him at the station that he wished he had
killed Hubert. Nolan was held for trial
on the charge, bail being fixed at $4,000.

ary 11th for selling watered milk at his

fine of 70. The case of vagrancy against
Clarence Watson was dismissed and the
defendant discharged. -Four poor drunks
were lightly fined.
deaf mute battery case was the cause
of much merrment in Judge Morrison's
department. John Mills was accused of
hitting fellow unfortunate in the eye in a
dispute. The testimony given in the sign
language and the expressive gesticulations
were at times all sufficient to portray the
fistic struggle in ali it's original vividness.
The matter was not concluded and went
over until Saturday, April 1th, at = p. IN.
Wong Chung and Charlie Jung had the
lottery ticket selling cases against them
dismissed. This about ends the Chinese
cases, i'll not one of which has conviction
been secured, but in each of which the
constable's fees will have to be paid.

peace today. Lucy peddled tea on the
East Side and frightened several women.

charge of Angel and Marie VitiGliani and
Cristina Baron, who we're accused OF dis
turbing the peace by throwing stones at
the house of the tenant next door. A. b.
