BROWN DISCHARGED
NOT GUILTY OF BRUTALITY TO
HIS DAUGHTER
Did Not Exceed His Legal and
Natural Rights in the 1nflic-
ton Of Punishment

Police Judge Owens yesterday sustain
led the motion to dismiss In the case of
Dave Brown and Mrs. D. Brown, and
discharged the defendants. Brown, who
Is the captain Of a chemical engine COM
lpany, and one of the best-known mem
bers Of the department, was charged,
with his wife. with cruelty to his fifteen
year old daughter, Mabel. The evidence
was to the effect that the child was way
ward and absented herself from home,
giving as a reason that she was not kind
ly treated by her stepmother, and 1t is
alleged, that on the last occasion, dur
ing Fiesta week, when she returned and
her father learned Of her actions, that
he choked and beat her. This Brown
denied to the extent that he had been
cruel and brutal, but admitted that he
had corrected the child, and that it was
necessary. The case has caused great
deal Of comment in the fire department,
owing to Browns prominence, and the
fact that he was promptly suspended
by Chief Moore pending the decision.
In his ruling Judge Owens goes into the
law of the subject at some length, and
as this phase Of the case Is of general
interest, the substance Of the opinion Is
given as follows:
The evidence upon the part of the
people shows. in substance, that the
daughter Mabel was absent from home
for several days; that she returned home
on Saturday; that her stepmother said
that if she behaved herself she would
not tell her father, the defendant, Dave
Brown; that on Tuesday, the 9th of
April, the stepmother told defendant
something about his daughter Mabel,
but what it was, does not appear; that
then defendant exclaimed, you will
break my heart" and took hold of his
daughter by the neck and choked her
and threw her down upon the floor.
This lasted for minute or so and she
said, Papa, do not hurt me-" and he
then desisted; that in falling upon the
floor her thumb was sprained a little,
and she complained that her neck was
sore from the effects of the choking;
that the next day DR.. Hagan, the police
surgeon, examined her neck, but was
not able to discover any marks, nor any
swelling. and that his attention was not
called to her thumb. Mabel stated that
she was not hurt much, but that her
neck was sore and some swollen after
ward. No blows whatever were struck.
and Mrs. Brown was not connected with
the affair.
The sole question is, did defendant
Dave Brown inf1ict unjustifiable physi-
cal pain upon his daughter? The de-
cisons bearing upon this question are
few.
A parent naturally and properly must
nave considerable discretion in the
method employed and the amount of
punishment to be inflicted in correcting
his child. and am of the opinion that
defendant Dave Brown did not exceed
his legal and natural rights in this case
Such being my view, defendants motion
will be sustained. the complaint dis
missed, and the defendant be discharg-
| ed.

His Head

]. W. jackson, colored man, was
brought into Judge Van Dykes depart
ment yesterday morning for examina-
ton as to his mental condition. Jackson
was not inclined to take the situation

He was asked what business he fol-
lowed. WELL" Jackson answered with
conscious pride at the number of his at
tainments, Il am corn doctor and a
preacher, and a general all'around
sport" Jackson imagines that he is inn
mensely wealthy and declares that he
once received $4,000 for removing corn
from the foot of Queen Victoria. On his
way to the court house he said that
there was something in his head which
was making 1900 revolutions to the min
ute. He was committed to Highlands.

There is a land which is not Of this

weather shifts with the varying moods
of its people; which has the same nat
ural features as ours, but grouped to
form suitable backgrounds and facil-
tiles for hair-breath escapes or cum

regardless of season. and birds sing
by special request. Its people too re-
Semble us or our ancestors in general
attributes; yet we never meet them
nor did they. For in this country, the
good are ever beautiful, and ultimate

hideous, and, though fiourishing for a

l know a girl with sparkling eyes
And cheeks just like a peach,
And lips that many a lover tries;
Nor finds them out of reach.
Her curling hair is very long,
And black as any jet,
And O, she does not think it wrong
To smoke a cigarette.
Her tiny feet and ankles trim,
And dainty little hands
Attract the miscellaneous him
To matrimonial banns.
Although her age you try to gauge,
BY laws of average
You'll find 1t true, whate'er you do,
