The Prosecution Act.

Justice was dispensed in Recorder

occupied the chair, while the position
lof prosecuting attorney was filled
by Mr.. T. NJ. Warrington, instead o.
Mr.. Hertzberg as usual. that gentle
man being in Austin attending the uni

The first case called by Mr.. Waiting
ton for the Mayor Recorder to decide
was that of Julius Frimuth, arrested
Saturday by officer Khouri for allow
ing his team to stand united. He was
| fined 81.
Charles Garrett, Joe BONNER and
Chas. Lambert were next called to
tell why they fought among themsel-
yes on Alamo street Saturday night,
but as they were not prepared to ex-
plain they were given until tomorrow
to do so.
Next came quartette of young boys
colored and otherwise, charged with
gambling, arrested Saturday by the
west side efficients, Quintana and Shell
burn. OF these, three, Charley Davis,
Jim Smith and Tony Cotria, were each

Miss(D Bessie Robinson, a colored
damsel, not very tall, but loud enough
to. suit the most fastidious, as the ad
writer says, was next presented to His
Honor who was informed that officer
Shelburn accused her of being vag-
rant. After hearing the officers story
the judge came to the same conclusion
and said. $50 or ten DAYS." and she
was escorted back into the corner
without ado or additional ceremony.
Next came in rapid succession three
of those cases attributable to the fact
that San Antonio's saloons sell intox-
icants. Each man had imbibed too
freely, one of them becoming as lively
as an old maid getting religion at
Salvation Army gathering. OF these
three cases w. w. STANDARD. and An
drew Kohlsatt got 81 each and Marcos
Perez, the lively one, got s.. Perez
was evidently under the impression
that he was celebrating st. Pats day
as he wore a very conspicuous bow of
green ribbon on his coat.
Then Mrs. Meisel, by the aid of
Chancellor Seilig Deutschmann, told
His Honor all about fight in her sa-
loon, corner Wyoming and South Mes
quite street yesterday, in which one of
the participants had displayed audacity
enough to tear her apron off. ]. B.
Taylor (not the genial Southern Pa
cific brakeman by large numbers,)
was the only man caught by the Of

Capt. Hennessy received the amount

ter-with a smile and wink at him
self.
]. C. Darrell was then brought up for
fighting and got five dollars written
opposite his name on the big book in
front of His Honor. From the tes-
timony of Capt. Andreas Brown, who
made the arrest, he was giving an ex-
hibition of his pugilistic skill on a
whole crowd of Mexicans on West
Commerce street near the corner of
Laredo last night.
Then came S. Gilland for using abus-
i've language toward and attempting
to manipulate a razor on his wife
This didn't take long for decision
and the mayor soon said twenty-five
dollars in one case and five in the 9TH

Charles Howell was then brought in
and fined five dollars for being disor-
derby while intoxicated on Officer
Shelburn's beat las night, contrary to
that officers desire.
This closed the court with the ex-
ception of a few trivial cases which
were continued until tomorrow.
