TOLD STRANGE STORY.
Case OF Tenant Against Landlord
Continued In Court.
Mrs. Quinn's Efforts to Get Into q
Blackstone Street Tenement.

1t was rather harsh tale that was partially
told to a jury in Judge Rogers court thi
forenoon in the case OF James W. Quinn VS..
Simon Doyle. The plaintiff brought suit 20
recover $1,000 damages from the defendant,
who for very brief time was the plaintiff s
landlord. The plaintiffs wife testified today
that she hired ON December 2l a tenement from
the defendant on Blackstone street, and went
with moving team of goods and her three
children on the 23d OF the same month to her
new home. The youngest OF her children was
two years and the eldest five years old, and
the day of the moving was bleak and cold
one. When Mrs. Quinn reached the house she
had hired she says she pleasantly greeted Mr..
Doyle, but he told her to 90 right back where
she came from. To this statement Mrs. Quinn
replied that she had given up the key of the
other house, and after demonstrating for a
while with Mr.. Doyle went to the Fifth police
station.
After consultation with the authorities
there and others, she went back 10 the defend
ants house and began unloading the furni-
ture. This enraged Mr.. Doyle, and he, she
claims, knocked parlor CLOCK out of her hands
and in falling TO the ground it was smashed.
Next the driver of the moving team snd the
defendant had circus performance in which
the springs of "A bed were broken. and not
satisfied with the exercise already had, Mrs.
Quinn claims that Doyle played quoits with
her dishes. She finally got into the house
with her goods.
The trial came to rather an abrupt close
today because when Mr.. McGill, attorney for
the plaintiff, wanted to prove that the child
rem and wife of the plaintiff were greatly in
jured in health by the actions of the defend
ant, Mr.. Brennan, who was the latters attor-
ney, objected, as he claimed that such injuries
could not be provet under the declaration as
drawn. Though Mr.. McGill claimed that un-
der the language of the declaration he could
recover all the natural consequences of the de-
fendant's actions, Judge Rogers sustained Mr..
Brennan's view of the case.
Then Mr. McGill asked permission to amend
the declaration so that he could prove ths in
juries TO the health of the wife and children
Of the plaintiff. This was granted, but Mr.
Brennan and his associate, p. II. Quinn, asked
for a continuance on the ground of surpris-,
and the case was taken from the jury and
passed for reassignuent
Mr.. Quinn was formerly fagman for the
Consolidated road at Lonsdale and the only
reason, Mrs. Quinn says, Doyle gave for his
actions was that she had told an untruth
about where her husband worked.

Points-Tke Decision a Draw.

The anticipated fifteen-Tound bout be-

ComQue last night was a disappoint-
ment to the lovers of fistic sports, as,
owing to the light attendance, the men
declined to contest the full limit.
They spared six rounds for points,
however, and the referee decided it a
draw, in which the audience seemed
to decidedly disagree with him, as Nc
Mahon did nearly all the leading and

FOOTBALL TODAY.
The High School Team to Meet the
Berkeley Lads

The weather indications for to-day
favor pleasant day, wherefore there
Will no doubt be a large attendance at
Snowflake Park, where the High School
football team will have a tussle with
the Berkeleyites.
The latter play a strong game and
count on defeating the Sacramento
boys without great effort, but they are
liable to go home with better opinion
of the prowess of the students.
The game will commence at ) o'clock,
SO that those who eat their Christmas
turkeys at the noon hour will have
plenty of time for that diversion and
can afterwards witness the game.
There Will be no reserved seats thrust
upon the public, and the management
will see that all persons are kept off
the field during the game.
Sam Dickson, an old Sacramento boy,
will play tackle for the Berkeley peO-
pie, and his friends should be out in
force to see him. The captain of the
High School put his team through light
work yesterday, and put on all the fin
ish4ng touches. The students will put
up the game of their lives, and have no
doubt but what they viii be able to dis
pose of the team from Berkeley.
Everything at Snowflake Park has
been arranged for the benefit of the
spectators and Sacramentans should
be out to cheer on the High School to
victory,
