The two little fellows were playing in
the kitchen OF their home, which is just
over that OF Citron. OF course, childiike
they were a little noisy. This annoyed
Citron, and he started up the back stairs
after them. The boys heard him coming
and locked the door. Unable to get in
that way, he started to the front door.
This he wrenched open and mounted the
steps. Little Henry becoming frightened,
took refuge under the bed. Citron. after
kicking him once pulled him out and
administered another kick on the childs
knee. He was not satisfied with this but
proce ed, to box the ears OF the other
boy and pulled his hair. Then be went
away and left hem.
When Mrs. Zimat returned she found
the little fellow crying, and, after finding
out the facts, attem pted TO demonstrate
with Citron. He not only denied he
charge but straightway began 10 call Mrs.
Zimat all the vile names he could think
OF. All this happened about three months
ago, and for some time the little ones
knee did not pain him, but within the
last lew weeks i, began to bother him con-
siderably. His mother took him to the
polyclinic on Ellis street, and DR.. Regens-
burger lookei at the injured knee. He
called in DR.. Phillip Minis Jones, VINO ap-
piled the X ray. he found that the bone
was badly fractured and that the poor
little fellow is likely TO oe cripple for
lie. He is now IN the hospital.
The mother of the child, a hard working
woman. is just a bout distracted with grief.
Her husband, Emanuel q mat is en-
ployed as tailor by the Muller Cloak and
Suit Company. He does not care TO say
anything about the case, because Citron
is a distant relation of his. Citron, OF
course. says he did not do 1t, but yester-
day he moved out of the neighborhood.
The fact that the child had to be sent 10
ihe hospital seemed to worry him but
li.tle, and he told little Louis, so the
mother says, that be would come up and
hurt his mother if anything were MADE
known, so she would have 10 be sent to
the hospital to keep Henry company.
This is not the first trouble between the
two families. Some time ago Citron's
little girl and Henry were playing in the
yard. They got to quarreling and slapped
one another with : right good will. The
grand ather of the child came upstairs and
slapped Mrs. Zimat in the face. She took
this case 10 court, but at the urgent re-
quest of her husband it was dismissed.
This time she says il seems almost too
much to bear, but the poor woman is
powerless. She has no money to engage
a lawyer to fight the case.

Judge Ogden Refuses to Be

Attorney George A. knight and Judge
Ogden clashed in the Boogar trial this
afternoon and for nearly hal: an hour the
passage al arms was very lively.
Mr.. knight was making his address to
the Jury, and he took occasion to say some
sharp things about the charges of the
Judge to the jnry in the previous two
trials of the prisoner, Michael Collins.
The attorney said that TO repeat such in
structions would be "a direct insult" to
the jury. This did not please Judge
Ogden, who replied 10 Mr.. Knight in a
very pointed manner.
During the previous trials of the case,'
said Mr.. knight, 1.-THE court has stated to
The jury that they must not permit them
selves to be swayed by sympathy. This is
entirely wrong, and is as much a direct
insult 20 the intelligence of the jury as il,
would be for me to sav to the court, sit

''If anything was wrong, MIR. Knight

the court has no right TO tell jury that
it must not be swayed by sympathy you

such an instruction be given"
II wish to call the courts attention to a

"Mr. Knight, are you addressing the

Knight, II turn my back on the jury, and

Judge Ogden was very much disturbed
at Mr.. knights argument, and when the
attorney told the r porter 10 be careful IN
noting his exceptions, the Judge said,
That is your privilege, take an exception,
and another one. and more If YOU wish, :"
to all of which Mr.. Knight excepted.
Finally Mr.. knight and the court forgot
each other and the attorney confined his
remarks to the jury.

SUPERVISORS UNEASY.
They Did Not Fix Outside Water
Rates on Time This
Year.
Partially Reassured by an Opinion
From District Attorney

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,

The Board of Supervisors were in great
terror this morning when they were in
foru ed that they were in danger of follow
ing the San Francisco board out of Office
and even now hey do not know whethe r
or not they are at the mercy of any local
George K. Fitch, who may bring the
necessary suit.
February has passed and the Super
visors OF Aiame da County did not during
that month, nor have they subsequen tly,
fixed the water rates for that portion of
the county that is not included in ncor-
porat d towns and cities. The case is a
little different from that OF San Fran
ci SEQ. but there is still enough doubt in
the matter 10 keep the Supervisors on the
an xious seat
As soon as it became known that the
po .iticaI enemies of The present board were
trying to discover that they had been de-
relict and thereon base suit to have them
ousted there was CONSERVATION at the
county building The Supervisors and
county officials are more or less agitated
when Grand Jury is IN existence, but
that was not sufficient to account for the
uneasness to-day. County Clerk Jordan
was requested to produce the minutes,
and an examination clearly showed that
no action was taken during February re.
garoing the fixing of water rates. This
knowledge added to the Supervisors dis
comfture, and the codes were eagerly
searched to see where they stood.
District Attorney Shook was sought and
lis interuretation of the statute WAS
eagerly await d. lie somewhat reassured
them by reading the law and quoting the
section that says when petilioned" by
the residents OF an outside district the
Supervisors must FIX the water rales. This
year there was no petition fled and no
rates were fixed.
