FOR DERELICTION IN DUTY,
Captain Robinson of the City Prison
Prefers Charges Against Desk
Sergeant Shields

Captain Robinson of the City Prison has
preferred charges before the Police Com
missioners against Desk Sergeant John
w. Shields.
Some months ago Chief Crowley issued
an order that the desk sergeants should
visit and inspect the cells during every
half hour on the watch from II o'clock
midnight till 8 in the morning.
In the complaint against Sergeant
Shields it is alleged that on eeven occa-
sions between Decembe q and February
ID, both inclusive, the sergeant failed to
visit the cells in accordance with the
Chiefs orders.
The hours mentioned in the complaint
are when the captain is not on duty, so
that it is supposed that he Obtained his
information from TRUSTEES" whom he
took into his confidence.
The captain sent for the sergeant at 6
o'clock last night and read the complaint
to him. The result will be q rigid investi-
cation into the general discipline and con-
duct in the prison and will, it is said, take
on a much larger scope than the mere
charges against Sergeant Shields.

diately after the drawings and before the
day of the coursing.
The mem bers had a m ost en- ioyable time
between disposing OF the menu and the
enjoyment OF wit and song as rendered by
those whose talents led in those direc-
tons. After the repast President shan
non gave a brief resume of the history of
coursing in California since 1867, when ex-
Sheriff Adams, Nat Curry, Judge James
G. Penny, Nike Sicily and few others
started the first club in San Francisco.
Since that time coursing has assumed
a higher plane, and now through the
able Management of Judge Grace the sport
has been elevated to a standard emitting
