Chris Stohberg and Hazel Ester were
tried by Justice Owens yesterday on
charges of having disturbed the peace on
Alameda street Saturday night. The wo-
man is one of the vile denizens of the cribs
and she enticed Stohberg into her abode
of shame. She demanded money from him,
but he declined to produce, whereupon she
grabbed his hat, declaring her intention to
keep 1t until he paid her. Chris thought
his hat would be of no service to her. so
he tried to recover it. They had a strug-
gle and knocked over lamp before assist
ance came. The woman's clothes caught
fire, but the blaze was soon extinguishbd.
Justice Owens continued the case until to-
day, in order to hear the testimony of an
other witness.

PROTESTS NOT HEARD
Council Again Forced to Delay Hear
ings on Important Matters


Large numbers of protestants were pres
ent at the council meeting yesterday, but
most of them were there merely to pre-
sent reasons for a continuance, and only
one property holder really presented rea-
sons for not wanting projected improve
ment made. This was in the matter of the
establishing a new grade on Fifth street.
from Bonnie Brae to Burlington avenue
The protestant stated that the improve
ment as projected contemplates the injury
of three blocks Of property to benefit one.
The engineer reported that majority of
the property holders had petitioned for the
improvement, and that the professionals
could do no more than claim damages The
matter was finally referred to the board
of Public works for investigation and re-
port.
The protestants against the sewering of
a portion of San Fernando street are maxi
ing arrangements to conneoA the property
on the street to a private sewer, and tn
matter was therefore carried over until
1t Is seen what can be done in the manner
suggested.

the improvement Of opening their street
Is not needed since the Broadway tunnel

DRUNKEN IMMOLATION
A Crazy spaniard Sets Fire to Kero-
sene Soaked Blankets

Asiano Cordero, a Spaniard living at
Olympia and San Fernando streets, has
been drinking for number of days past,
and yesterday his spree eliminated in ter
rible attack of delrium tremens. He was
crazed for hours and toward the evening
became very cold. In his wild condition,
he bethought himself of a means to get
warm, so, pouring a quantity of coal oil
over some blankets, wrapped himself in
them and applied a match to the inf1am-
mable material.
People passing saw the fire in the room
and hurried to the assistance of Cordero.
They extinguished the flames before the
fire had burned the crazy man. The patrol
wagon was called and Cordero taken to the
receiving hospital. Cordero was only re-
Gently released from the Highlands asy-
