sAUSALITWs PECULIAR CASE.
Novel Defense Put Fortcard bv a Han
Charged Wfth Crime.


Charged With Crime.
SAUSALITO, CAL, March S.-There
was quite a collection of ANIMALS in the
Recorders court in Sausalito to-day dur
ing the progress of the case of the people
against J. Christensen. charged with ap-
plying vulgar language to Mrs. Lucy
SouZa.
A novel defense was offered when Chris
tensen, who held large gunnysack in his
hand, and said that the vulgar term which
he used was the name of the black cat he
had in the bag. His Honor, Judge Pryor,
drew back in horror when Christensen
offered 10 produce the animal, and two
dogs lying on the floor left the courtroom
in disgust at having been cheated out of
scrap.
Christensen is also accused of splitting
al Mrs. SouZa's feet.
Christensen put his son and little daugh-
ter on the wltness-stand to prove that the
vile name was that which the family regu-
larry applied to the cat. Judge Pryor
failed to see the matter in that light and
Christensen was found guilty, with orders
to appear for sentence tomorrow at 10
O'Clock.

ton: 1.-THE speculation to-day was utterly
devoid of new or interesting developments
What little trading there was of local
scalping character, and the fluctuations in
prices We're confined within narrow linz
it's. Prices slowly advanced early in the
DAY. Liverpool was higher, the receipts
at the ports and the interior towns We're
light and there was a small demand for To-
cal accounts. Before the close part of the
Improvement was lost on selling by local
scalpers Liverpool also sold here early
in the day, but the worst feature was the
dullness of the speculation The seuti-
ment continues bullish, but owing to the
stagnation of the speculation, the fiuctua-
tons in prices from day TO day are few
and unimportant."
