PRICE OF FRIENDSHIP
Creditor Resorts to a Hard Method of
Collecting a Note

The case of j. P. Domingos against c.
H. Moser came up in Judge Aliens court
yesterday in the form of a citation to dis
cover whether the defendant has any prop
erty to satisfy a $3.50 judgment which the
plaintiff holds.
The plaintiff is a young farmer and he
alleges that for ten years previous to May
1897, he and Moser were close friends. He
leaned Moser $3.50 of hard-earned money.
under promise that the amount would be
secured by mortgage on piece of prop
erty owned by Moser. The borrower got
married. covered his property with q
Homestead" and then refused to mortgage
it. Domingos sued on the note, got judg-
ment, and now, in order TO collect it, must
resort to heroic methods.
In yesterdays proceedings 1t developed
that Moser is employed in a manufacturing
concern in the city at SIS per week. AS he
was not married when the loan was made,
one-half of this salary is subject to gar
nishment. and Domingos' attorney states
that such a method of collection will be re-
sorted to.

RATHER STRONG ASSURANCE
Woman Tells Tale of Woe in District
Attorneys Office

Mrs George Bellamy, the wife of col
ored prisoner in the county Jail, was telling
tale of woe at the district attorneys Of
fee yesterday, and incidentally made some
interesting statements concerning her hus-
bands attorney.
Tie woman is in a delicate condition
and. from her appearance, evidently needs
every penny she can scrape together to keep
the several children with which she is al
ready blessed. Her husband is charged
with burglary and she states that an attor-
ney has been to see her a number of times
in an endeavor to induce her to raise $23,
in consideration of which he guarantees to
have her husband acquitted and restored TO
her. Mrs. Bellamy found that by depriv-
ing herself and family of some of the ne
cessities. she might raise the sum required
but before doing so she decided to investi-
gate the claims of the enterprising attor-
ney. She was advised to keep what money
she has, and decided to take the advice.

PROMISED TO BE GOOD
Hubert Sprague, Youthful Offender,
Lectured by the Court

Judge Smith yesterday delivered a severe
lecture to ragged urchin who has been held
for several days for breaking into a trunk
and stealing therefrom number of articles.
There were several boys concerned in the
offense but all the others were mere babies,
and the district attorney held only this one,
Hubert Sprague, the eldest of the crowd,
with the idea that he must have been the
ringleader
The lad was only IL years old, however,
and with the assurance of the parents that
he will be carefully looked after, the dis
trict attorney recommended yesterday that
the case be continued Indefinitely, or until
It can be determined how the boy will deport
himself in the future. Judge Smith deliv-
cred severe lecture to the young culprit
before acting on the district attorneys sug-
gestion, and finally succeeded in eliciting a
promise of good behavior in the future.
1T seems said the court, that you boys
out there at the Palms lay awake nights and
plan to break into states prison. Is it true?'
The boy spake never a word. He knew
better.
you have been consorting with those little
ruffians, and have thus far made very good
progress on your journey to San Quentin
What will you do in the future?"
The lad saw his chance here, and promptly
answered: I'm be a good boy"
"All right" said the court 'WeIl take
your word and will keep the promise entered
in this book. Now. look sharp and see that
you don't get up here again."
The youngsters mother soon after called
for him and took him in charge. The pro-
ceeding did not apparently impress Hubert
to any great degree.

merely because he found that he could get
the loan from another source at lower
