Test Case for hackdriyers

A question of some importance to hack
drivers was submitted on brief yesterday
before Police Judge Owens. 1t relates to
the cases of two parties named Green and
McNeilly, who were arrested for having
solicited passenger custom within certain
limits at the La Grande depot. The South
ern California Railway company estab-
lished rule that hackmen should remain
outside of their premises while passengers
on their trains made their exit into the
street. The hackmen questioned the COM
pany's right to exclude them, and for the
purpose of legally testing the question
broke the regulation and were arrested.

ENJOYING A HUGE JOKE
That Is, the Friends Are, Not the Prin.
cipal
A Tradesmsn, Revolver In Hand, Is Bluffed
by Bold, Bad BurgIsr-The Story
as Twas Told

The friends of a popular boot and shoe
dealer, whose place of business is on Main
street not far from Third, are enjoying a
huge joke at his expense. And as he told
it on himself he cannot blame others for
making the most of it. The circumstances
are these:
One night recently, in the wee small
hours, the shoe dealer, while sweetly
dreaming of quick sales and new custom
ers, was suddenly awakened by his wife,
who exclaimed: 'Sam, Sam, get up
There's burglar at the door trying to get
in." Sam was quickly out of bed, and with
revolver in hand he crept stealthily to the
door and listened. Soon he heard what
appeared to be hands fumbling at the lock.
The defender of his castle quickly cooked
his revolver and exclaimed: "Who's
tnere!" Ihe response came in the form
OF several raps on the door. Sam then un-
locked the door. opened it, tightly holding
his cooked revolver ready to shoot if occas-
ion required. There stood before him D
burly man, who after apologizing TO- 70
intrusion, said:
you that your dog dsturbs the n se3ks.S
every night by his barking. You mI,t ~ :
stop to it, or l shall kill the dog, AZ Nv al
be my duty to do.''
"Very well" said Sam; ~ didn't know
that my dog disturbed my neighbors; I'll
see that he does not do 80 any more" That
ended the dialogue, the visitor walked
away and Sam returned to bed, wondering
why the officer selected such an unseason-
able hour for serving his anti-dog-barking
notice.
The next day that thought puzzled and
annoyed Sam so much that he finally
went to police headquarters and related
the circumstance to several officers. On
hearing his story the blue coats laughed
heartily. They then informed the puzzled
visitor that he had been beautifully hun.
bugged by a shrewd burglar. The mid
night visitor was not an officer, as might
have been known by his errand at
such an hour; but finding himself
discovered he skilfully warded off
suspicion by. his dog story, and thus es-
capped Sans bullet. 1t was further stated
by the officers that when a barking dog dis
turbed peoples slumbers the authorities
would suppress the nuisance if complained
Of; but that no officer would think of cal
ling at private residence in the middle of
the night on such an errand.
Sam left the police station wiser man.
but so mad at himself for being thus hum
bugged that he has not yet recovered his
customary good nature. He thinks he will
always regret his failure to improve a
splendid opportunity to either kill or cap
ture measly burglar who successfully
played him for greenhorn.
