90S Broadway. Jan. 4
The case of c. Z. Kinard against Fred
c. Gift, which practically died with the
old year. the main object being to de-
pose defendant as Justice of the Peace
was formally stricken off the docket by
Judge Ellsworth this afternoon.
When the case came up to-day Attor-
ney NJ. c. Chapman, on behalf of the de-
Tense. stated that il there was any doubt
in the courts mind as to whether or not
his Honor had jurisdiction defendant
would waive that point. desiring to pro-
coed with the hearing of the case. the
gist of which he considered a malicious
attack and one in which the defense de-
sired to put Ill its testimony.
Judge Ellsworth remarked from the
bench that he regarded it very strange
that Kinard had allowed the matter OF
charging malfeaSance in office to lie until
within twenty days from the close of
Gifts term before proceeding.
We have been busily engaged in hear
ing this case said Judge Ellsworth,
and as yet Kinard has proven nothing.
The main object of the suit was to Gust
defendant and the time for this has eX-
PRED"
Plaintiff Kinard here called his Honors
attention to the fact that a penalty of
$500 was involved. Judge Ellsworth, how
ever, remarked that he had proven moth
ing, and that the penalty was merely an
incident. He therefore declined to hear
the matter further and struck the case
off the docket.
Even 10 this action the defense ex-
cepted, stating that ii would be prefera-
BILE to put in a defense.
His Honor then suggested that Kinard
might take an exception and get out "A

90S Broadway, Jan. 4.
Pete Farrell, the Deputy Poundman,
who cruelty beat a small boy and was
convicted some time last fall, was in the
Police Court to-day, but was not SEN
fenced, although he was peremptorily
served with notice that unless he be pre-
pared to pay a $50 fine for his brutality
tomorrow morning he will be summarily
punished. Farrell gave as an excuse to-
day for not being ready with his coin that
his employer, the Poundmaster was dig
ging il up for him and would no doubt
pay it before night.
FarrellS employer, according to the re-
port of the pound for December. should
have no difficulty in digging up $50. This
Oakland a total of $3.50 so for December,
and Councilman Girard demands an in
VeStgation. This immense increase in the
fees paid the Poundman explains to a
great degree the reason for the plight in
which Pete Farrell now finds himself.
Farrell was convicted of beating boy
after forCibly taking away his pet dog
AS the report shows that on an average
about fifteen dogs day We're caught and
killed, ii is not surprising that some of
them were not the stray ours that the
pound officials are supposed to corral.
In addition to killing 3lS dogs the Pound
master had collected fees for removing
81 dead dogs ! dead sheep dead goats
dead pigs and 26 dead cats during the
month From all these sources, as we'll as
in amounts collected from individuals who
redeemed their animals, and including $50
for the rent of the pound which the Coun-
last November, Mr.. Powers bill reaches
the respectable figure of nearly $500.
Tomorrow, when the deputy appears
before Judge Smith, the $50 Will have to
be on hand, or Farrell will not be given
any further chance of catching dogs to
satisfy the demands of justice.

Trouble Over a Courtroom.

OAKLAND, Jan. 4.-There is trouble
over another temple Of justice in Ala
media County. James G. Quinn has sue
ceeded Fred c. Gift as Justice of the
Peace of Oakland Township, and when
the former appeared at the courtroom,
southwest corner of Eighth street and
Broadway, this morning prepared to take
turn over to him the furniture and court
paraphernalia, unless he be paid there
for $500. This price Quinn regarded as
eXorbitant, but he was at the mercy of
his predecessor, who had already paid an
other months rent in advance. Quinn
has therefore rented a store Just below
justice until the friends of the past and
present Justices induce the former TO re-
linQuish his key.

MRS. Won SCHMIDT Is
GRANTED A DIVORCE
SENSATIONAL CHARGES OF CRU

The Commodore Was Alleged to Have
Threatened to Cut Off Her
Head With Sword.

Isabella Won Schmidt was granted di
vorce from Commodore Edward a. Won
Schmidt on the ground of cruelty. She
was also awarded custody of the five
minor children, for the present at least,
and SO monthly alimony for the sup
port of herself and children.
The case was tried before Superior
Judge w. E. Greene, and the courtroom
was thronged with friends of both parties
and witnesses from Alameda, where they
reside.
Mrs. Won Schmidt testified that on one
occasion her husband had taken a shot
at her in their Alameda home, and that
the bullet lodged in the door leading from
the dining-room to the hall, while the
shooter stood in the kitchen. On another
occasion he had threatened to cut her
head off with a sword.
Commodore Won Schmidt, the defendant,
also gave testimony which the court in
summing up the case severely criticized.
His father, Colonel A. w. Won Schmidt,
was also called and narrated an episode
regarding a quarrel between his son and
the plaintiff, in which a flower pot was
crashed to smithereens. He had told
them both that they should be ashamed
of themselves. Witness regarded some of
Mrs. Won Schmidt'S associates-mostly di-
vorced women and theatrical people-as
unfit and not proper companions, and in
speaking of the wordy wars that some
times were waged by husband and wife,
he said that to his mind the parties got
along about as well as most married peo-
pie do" At times the wife was rough
with the children, but she had always
been what he considered a pretty good
mother to them. On several occasions
during the husbands absence at sea the
wife remained away in San Francisco all
night, and frequently came home very
late. say 1870 o'clock. In the morning he
would comment on this and Mrs. Won
Schmidt would tell him that it was per-
haps $3.50 when she had arrived home.

the court as to his financial condition.
He stated that he was receiving $3.50
monthly. minus $50, which he was re-
quired to pay monthly to Captain Doll1ver,
his predecessor as harbor pilot, on note
for $3.50 given for his goodwill; that aside
from this debt there were several others;
that he owned no realty, save three acres
of Alameda marsh land, worth about
$1,000, and some Alaska mining stock.
Mrs Won Schmidt, plaintiff, next was
taken in hand by the court on the same
point. and testified that she was abso-
iuteIy without means of support.
The case was submitted without argu-
ment, and in summing up the case Judge
Greene stated: The plaintiff is entitled
to a decree The weight of testimony is
in her favor 1t is true that probably

Governor Budd has issued a second
commission to William p. Lawlor, Judge
of Department II of the Superior Court.
Governor Budd's original commission ar
rived at a time when the legal situation
Judge Lawlor was in an extremely tangled
condition. This tangle was caused by the
death of the late Rhodes Borden and a
desire on the part of Judge Wallace to
claim the office, he having been fifth on
the list of candidates for Judge of the Su-
Ierior Court AS the question regarding
the legality of the contention that Judge
Lawlor could not hold over under the
original commission was a knotty one
