declined. Mr.. Da%gett then asked that
Mr.. Stearns take the chair, which he did.
Mr.. Daggett then presented a commun-
icatlon to the secretary to be read, him

IN THE COURTS.
Mr.. Livingstone, the old gentleman
over so years of age, whose domestic diff
ficuties were aired in the local courts
some months ago is again before me
public. Last night Of his own accord he
changed his residence from the home OF
his wife on East Colorado street to the
house Of ne!ghbor. His mind is not
lust wha II should be. and he was not
lorrg in his new quarters before he set TO
work barricading the c'oorc and windows
against imaginary foes His grandson
got out a warrant charging him with
disturbing the peace, but 1t was not
served, and Will not be served so long
as Mr.. Liyin gstone can be kept from de-
ing harm. He lives in constant fear, he
says, of being poisoned by his wife and
daughter, and irnagines that he sees all
sorts of strange things. Steps Will PROB
ably soon be taken toward taking care
OF him, as he is constant trouble 10
those around him.
Before the hour set for the eXanina-
tion Of John Fuschia charged with rob-
bing Downing's plumbing shop. the re-
corder received communication from
the district attorney instrpcting him to
dismiss the proceedings, as a new war
rant had been issued charging him with
night Of November 18th. This case is
brought under the United States stat
utes. The tools to do the Job were un-
doubtedly stolen from Downing's shop,
and that case was brought against him
because 1t was thought there was more
evidence in that case, but the detectives
have unearthed more clews in this lat
ter case. The man that is suspected of
being the other party in the commission
Of the robbery Is still at large.
