Mixed Those Chinese Up

Somebody mixed couple Of Chinese up
in amusing fashion at the police station
Wednesday night. All Son and Ah Sam
were arrested on San Fernando street by
a special officer and sent to the station on
charge of selling lottery tickets. Both
were locked up, but the friends Of Sam raj
lied to his support and deposited SIS cash
bail for his release. Instead of Sam reaping
the advantage of this bail, it was his al
legged companion in crime, Ah Son, who
profited. BY a mistake All Son was re-
leased instead of Sam. When the case was
called in Police Judge Morrison's court yes.
terday there was no complaint against Sam,
who had been punished by being detained
in Jail over night, SO he escaped further
prosecution. Son appeared, however, and
entered plea of guilty and was fined SIS.
There would probably have been some dis
turbance over the fine being paid with the
money belonging to the friends OF Sam had
not all hands held short confab and come
to a satisfactory understanding.

REJECTED BONDSMAN
Superior Court Declines to Review Act
"A Police Court

Ed Mcintyre and Joe Mangaragina were
brought from the city prison before Judge
Smith yesterday on writ of habeas cor
pus. Their attorney, j. Marion Brooks,
complained to the court because of the re-
lection of bondsman offering himself as
surety for the appearance of the boys to
answer to a complaint charging them with
disturbing the peace. They were found
guilty of that offense and Mcintyre was
fined $50 with the alternative OF fifty days
in Jail and Mangaragina 800 with similar
option of Imprisonment. Desiring to ap-
peal to the superior court, they sought to
give bond with a person not possessed OF
real property as surety. The rejection of
the surety was objected to by Attorney
Brooks as arbitrary, the bondsman rejected
being established in trade here, though not
the owner OF real estate.
Judge Smith declined to consider the mat
ter on such grounds, holding that there was
no foundation in law for appeal to the su-
perior court to determine the sufficiency of
bail bond offered in an inferior court,
that being matter purely discretionary to
the couyt below. The superior court having
no jurisdiction, the prisoner was remanded
to the custody of the city police authori-
ties

NOT OVERDRIVEN
Young Man Prosecuted for the Death
of Horse

j. S. Sepulveda on August Is hired a horse
from the Tally-Ho stables in this city with
which to drive to the Las Nirgines ranch
He went out that day, and few days after
ward the horse died. Complaint was made
to the district attorney and charge OF mis-
demeanor was preferred against Sepulveda.
The case was tried yesterday before Justice
Young, who gave judgment in favor of Sepul
veda.
1t was sought to show that the horse was
driven in such a cruel manner as to bring on
an attack of congestion of the lungs. from
which it finally died; but evidence on behalf
of the defendant was to the effect that the
animal had eaten we'll at the ranch and been
supplied with water, and that the time con-
sumed in going and returning was sufficient
under all ordinary conditions. The judg-
ment was therefore in his favor. The death
of the horse was held to have been attribut-
able to some other than the cause alleged.
