Before the Brotherhood of Locomotive

stop his engine on account of pounding.
He tinkered at it for a day or SO, but the
trouble was as bad as ever when he

same result. Finally his employer was

A CHASE FOR
AN ACTRESS
Josie Gonzales, Alias Fowler,
Run to Earth by a
Vengeful Landlady.
Arrested and Taken to Prison
on a Charge Of Grand
Larceny.
Accused of Stealing a Trunk Left
With the Landlady as Security
for Unpaid Rent.

A dizzy blonde, who is sometimes known
as Josie Gonzales and at other times as
Josie Fowler, and who claims to be an
actress, was arrested yesterday morning
and taken to the City Prison on a charge
OF grand larceny. She was dressed in deep
mourning, which accumulated the blonde
ness OF her hair.
The warrant for her arrest was sworn
out by Mrs. Margaret Leahy, 326 O'Farrell
street. on October 20. She was charged
with stealing trunk filled with clothes
and other articles left in Mrs. Leahy's care
by Chester Bradley Fowler until he was
able to pay his indebtedness to her,
amounting to S95
Since October 20 Mrs Leahy has been
looking for Josie, but il was not until
Monday night that she learned she was
domiciled at Ais Jones street. She got
police man yesterday morning to go with
her 10 the house, and Josie was arrested.
She declined to wa TX to the City Prison if
that woman" referring to Mrs. Leahy,
accompanied her, so Mrs. Leahy went
home.
Several friends called upon Josie at the
prison and assured her that she would not
remain long in dungeon cell, as they
would get her out on bonds, but Judge
Low sallantly came 10 the rescue aud re-
leased her on her own recognizance.
She declined with dignity to'discuss the
case. but Mrs. Leahy was not so reticent.
According to Mrs. Leahy. Chester Bradley
Fowler is Jo,es husband. but he left for
the Klondike in September and gave her
the custody of the trunk and its C ontents
ii II he could send her the sos he owed her.
His wife, as she was called" said Mrs.
Leahy yesterday, "knew that the trunk
was left in my custody for debt, but she
slipped it out of the house st night while
had com pany, taking all her own things
away also and leaving me with five weeks
rent of her room unpaid.
"1 will tell some things In court, if am
allowed that will not be pleasant to Josie
Fowler. or. as she may often call herself,
Josie Gonzales"
Josie is friend of r. V. Redpath and
John Olsen, the two men arrested some
months ago for swindling merchant from
Hawai- out of a consignment of silk hand
kerC hiefs. Redpath was hiding in her room
at 326 o Farrell street when he was ar
rested. The case against Them was dis
missed in the Superior Court.

Police Court l of San Francisco and
Judge ]. A. Campbell, TO the petition of
Lawrence for an alternative writ OF pro-
hibition. This writ was applied for by
the defe ndant in the libel case to prevent
Judge Cam pbell from sitting in The pro-
ceedings against him, but his effort went
for naught.
The petitioner failed to show the court
that the Judge of Department l was
biased against him and that he could not
have fair hearing before that court, and
in consequence the demurrer TO The writ
was sustained. Judge Daingorfield de-
livered his decision in the case orally and
ordered that ii be made OF record. In his
ruling he sustained the demurrer, dis

writ of prohibition. discharged the re-

but in case this is not done the charge
against Lawrence NAV be immediately
taken up py Judge Campbell.
The charge of criminal libel was pre-
ferred against Lawrence on the 18th OF
last August. On the Goth of that month
the defendant made an application to
Judge Campbell VINO was sitting in the
case. for a change of venue on the ground
that he believed the court was biased
against him. Judge Campbell denied the
change of venue and application for an al
tentative writ of Prohibition was made by
Lawrence TO the Superior Court to pro-
nibit Judge Campbell from hearing the
case. Argument was made on the Goth of
August and the matter was submitted.
Application to file briefs on the matter
was allowed, but as they were not placed
in the hands of the Superior Court in sus-
fcient time Judge Daincerield decided
the case on the oral argument.

Those oeomstrical Problems.

To the Editor of the Optic.
EAST LAS VEGAS, May 8lst, 'e7.-In re-
gsrd to the problem published In yours Of
the 31st, the figures are not wrong, but the
reasoning is tout of gear" This is but a
case which, when magni6ed. loses IL spps
rent cloudiness, and seems ridiculous to
all. Thus: 1000 divided by 10 gives 100
and 80 divided by 2 gives 40; sum of quo
tIents, 140.
Now, 1850 divided by ~ gives 90. Why
the difference of 25 aud "a in the problem
referred to, or of 40 and 90 herei Simply
because the sum Of the quotients Of two
divisions is not equal to the sum OF tn
dividends divided by the sum OF the di.
~visors. Nothing very strange, is 1t?
