FOUND ASLEEP IN THE PARK
ACCUSE THE FATHER OF CAST
ING THEM ADRIFT.

with tear-stained faces and bedraggled
appearance two girls were led into the
City Prison yesterday morning by po-
liceman who had found them sleeping in
Golden Gate Park. Amid sQbs they gave
their names as Maud Speaker, aged 49,
and her sister, Lille, aged II years.
The officer had Desk Sergeant Brown
register their names in the dodgers book,
as they were without home,
According to the story of the unfor-
tunate girls they recently arrived here
from the interior with their father. They
were almost penniless. but through the
efforts Of a friend their father secured
employment in q tannery in South San
Francisco
Saturday night ne returned home and
they say severely beat his eldest daugh-
ter, and when her sister interfered that
he also abused her and finally drove them
from the house. They appealed to him
not to cast them adrift as the night was
cold and they Were without money TO
rent room, but they were turned away
and the door was shut in their faces.
They say their father threatened to kill
them if they did not go away.
With heavy hearts the girls left the
place, determined never TO return. After
walking for several hours they found
themselves at the entrance TO Golden
Gate Park. Tired and footSore they re-
solved TO sleep on a bench until the
morning. when they intended to make
efforts to procure employment.
They were awakened by a policeman,
who saw them enter the park, and
thinking they were lost he determined TO
follow them
After listening to their story the officer
took took them to a restaurant, where
they were given something to eat. Rather
than accompany the policeman to their
home, where he intended to take them, |
the girls asked to be sent to the police
station. They were at once taken to the
City Prison and given in charge of the
matron.
Il cannot understand why father turn
ed US out remarked one of the sisters
yesterday. He was always SO kind to
US. 1 suppose we are in his way and he
is anxious TO get rid of US. If we could
get something to do I know we could
earn sufficient money TO at least buy
food and q nlace 10 sleen - -

MAYORS COURT.

Protein Mayor John Carmichael,
held his first trial court yesterday,
He had two cases before him, one
drunk and one disturbing the peace.
When the boozy fellow was led be-
fore the Mayor pro TEN, who is a
"white ribboner" and a teetOtaler,
it was like displaying red flag to
an lnfuriated bull, and the blear-
eyed individual did not know he
was standing before a piece of dy-
mantle or he would have asked for
a change of venue, or something
like that before the mayor put the
props under him and gave him the
tumble he got. 1t was five dollars
and costs and a lecture thrown in.
The next case was a disturber of
the peace, and the mayor pro tenn,
who is a yard master, and has been
used to hearing bells clang and To-
comotives blowing, putting and
whistling and negro porters yelling
out the names of the Benefited
and Cosmopolitan hotels, in his i'm
mediate neighberhood, takes to
noise right along and the disturber
got off with a dollar fine and cost.
Those present at the court tells us
that Judge Carmichael looks at
home on the bench as much so as he
does riding up and down the rail-
road yards on the pilot of loco
motive. We warn the red nose
gang however to keep sober while
Judge Carmichael is on the bench.

of business Just at this time. The
Judge made us a tip top county

says no, for they are generally as

He says money is plentiful in Mexi-

to every job offered. Mr.. SibleY at
tended a bull-fght between a Mexi-
can Sampson and a bull, aud he tells
us the Mexican handled the vicious
animal almost as easy as a cat
would a mouse. He would let the
bull charge him, and when the ami
NAL closed its eyes, as they do when
in reach of their enemy, the Mexi-
can would grab both horns and by a
dexterous twist of the bulls head,
would tumble him on his side, jump
on him and make his bow to the
shouting multitude. Mr.. Sibley says;
Talk about your base ball-for ex.
citement there is nothing in the
wild world to excite a man more
than a bull-fght."
