on a Charge of Assault With
Deadly Weapon.

A pickpocket has for the past two or
three weeks been stealing purses from
ladies who were attending the auction
sales in the Chicago store on Market
street, near McAlIister. About ten DAYS
ago he was pursued by several OF the
clerks, but managed to escape by running
into barn on Stevenson street and
doubling on his pursuers.
A. B. Levy, the proprietor, suspected
Brannan, and when he saw him in the
store Tuesday he instructed his clerks to
watch him. Brannan returned yesterday
afternoon and was chased out of the store.
Levy ran after him and was followed by q
crowd.
Brannan ran along Stevenson street and
got entaneled in cul-de-sac. Levy was
close behind him and Brannan pulled out
a knife and threatened to Kill him if he
aside and Brannan dashed past him and
ran back on Stevenson street and down
Seventh. Policeman w. T. Hooper was
walking along Seventh street and seeing
Brannan hotly pursued by the crowd he
caught hold of him and held him till
Levy reached them.
Brannan was taken 20 police headquar-
ters and after Levy had told his story he
was ordered locked up on a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon.
Brannan served term of i've years for
robbery and Detective Balm bridge said he
was now out on bonds awaiting his trial

Lulu Gwinn Made an Effort Yesterday
to Wed Frederick Fox
Judge Coffey has refused to hear the
application for guardianship of Mrs.
Mary Cham berlain over the minor,
Lulu" or Cecilia Gwinn, which, she
says, is her real name.
The girl has been convicted of vagrancy
and immoral conduct of aggravated de-
gree, and was committed ten days ago to
the Magdalen Asylum by Police Judge
Campbell.
The girl is under age, and unless she
obtains guardian cannot marry one
Frederick Fox, a stoker on the Tillamook,
who seeks her hand.
Judge Coffey stated he desired TO not
mix civil and criminal cases if he could
help it. He would consider the case,
however, on Saturday, if Judge Campbell
would continue his investigation in the
matter and ascertain whether the secur-
ing of a guardianship and subsequent
marriage were for the purpose of reclaim
ing the girl or of avoiding justice.
