Sunday mUrnIng street tig 1t
occurred on Morley avenue between
Allen T. Bird and Abraham UlImann.
Bird raised = cane he was carrying
with the apparent intention OF striking
the boy, when Enrique, brother of
Abraham, arrived on the scene and
took the cane away from Bird and
broke it over his shoulders.
In The fight Bird received black eye
and two cuts over the eye which bled
freely.
Mr.. Bird went to a saloon to
get 'Gxed" and Officer AL White and
Deputy Officer Walter N McCurdy
placed the boys under arrest and took
them before Justice Joe Taylor, where
they we're charged by Duputy Officer
Walter n. McCurdy with assault with
deadly weapon. The charge did not
ssy who or what had been assaulted,
but the judge evidently knew for he
SO ordered that the boys give bond of
$1,000 each for their appearance before
him Monday afternoon at 2:30. About
two minutes after the bond was asked
it was given and the boys were again
at liberty. Had the judge placed
tho bond for the appearance of those
two boys at nine-tenths the valuation of
Santa Cruz county the boys would
not have gone to jail.
Monday afternoon the case came to
trial before Justice Jos. Taylor in the
district court room. At an early hour
the court room began TO fill and when
che court took his seat he had a large
and Interested audience.
w. z. Harlow appeared for the pro-
secution and Judge Eb. Williams was
present for the defendants.
Judge Taylor opened the ball by
calling OF officer White to search the
audience for firearms and exempt no
one, except officers of the COURT
Officer White Immediately started on a
'stIn hunt. $" He found one gun. 1t
was worn by an officer of the peace.
He swore a silent but awful oath he
would not submit to be disarmed but
was willing to leave tho court room.
He left.

boys which had been made the day be

Curdy was then read but it failed tt

Cnrdy came up and handed mo two
warrants.
Judge Williams-Please the court,
the qustion is "Did these boys use
! deadly weapons?
I submit this to the court as a mat
ter of law. Where and what Is this
damnable evidence?
Prosecuting Attorney Harlow--Did
defendants resist arrest?
Officer-I don't know, 1 did not see
them. They we're in room and
was outside when McCurdy went to
| arrest them.
Mr.. Webb was then called and he
testified that he saw the fght. He
saw Bird attempt to strike one of the
| boys with the cane and saw the cane
| taken from him and broken over his
shoulder.
Witness did not see Ullman strike
| Bird on the head with the cane. Wit
ness recognized the piece of cane in
! evidence as looking like the one he saw
in the fight the day before.
Walter McCurdy who works in Har-
/ lows Office was the next to take the
stand. He saw the fight and he did mt
see it. The first part OF the evidence
he said the fight was over when he came
up; the second part of his evidence he
! remembered that ne saw the fight. Nc.
Curdy heard Ullman tell Bernstein that
if he (Bornstein) wanted any of the
fight he could have it.
Here Williams objected to the evil
dence and was sustained.
DIR. Purdy was called as an expert
witness to prove that Bird wa5 struck
with something other than mans
fist. Witness said he had examined
/ Bird the night before and found that
lie had d black-eye and two lacerated
wounds caused by some pointed instru-
ment. The doctor was not sure the
wounds had been made by the piece OF
stick in evidence.
DIR Russell, an eye doctor, who is
stopping at the Belleview hotel, was
the next expert called by the prosecu-
ton. He also found what every man
not being stone blind can see that Bird
had black eye and lacerated wound.
The eye doctor thought; he was not GER
tain, that the wound had been made
by the pieces of cane introduced as
deadly weapon.
This ended the case of the prosecu-
ton and in fact the case of the defense
al tie same time.
Every body expected the boys
would be bound over. What was tie
use of showing their defense All
that the lawyer for the defense had to
say was: 81 just wish to say that if
the weapon in evidence is deadly it was
brought into the affray by the prosecu-
ton.
Prosecuting Attorney ask that they
be bound over to the grand jury in
heavy bond and thai I be shown their
bondemen before it be accepted
Judge Wllliams-And L ask that
they be discharged by the court.
The Court.-I will hold them over
to appear before the grand jury which
, convenes the second week in July in
the sum of $1,000 each.
There was some talk of cash bond
, but when a gentleman stepped up and
, presented two checks for $1,000 each
the matter was soon settled and the
! boys were allowed to go back to their
{ work.
, It is safe to say that the case will end
here. No grand jury in the world will
). indict a boy on charge of assault with
a a deadly weapon, if that weapon only
be light walking cane. and taken

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-The trans
Atlantic liner Rhynland, Captain Ham
nah. from liverpool for this port, went
ashore on Cotton Patch shoal. about
four miles north OF Fenwick's island
life-savins station. during the storm
last night AT late hour tonight she
was still stranded, but lay in an easy
position, and Il was hoped 70 get her
off with the next high tide. The tug
North America went 10 her assistance
this Inc-riEg and succeeded in moving
her a shu;t distance. Later in the day
the tug went 10 Delaware breakwater
and brought back the lighter Lottie
Part of the steamers cargo will be
taken off, and when this has been done
there is little doubt but that she will
be safely tioated. The Rhynlands pro-
peller is broken and II is thought her
!'udder has been carried away.
There are forty-two passengers and
a crew of seventy-nine men on board,
and al! are well.
ferwlck's Island light is about TWEEN
;y-Tve miles below the breakwater,
which would Indicate that the Rhynland
was few miles out OF her course when
she grounded. This is easily accounted
eor by the condition Of the weather at
the time a dense snow storm was pre-
railins and the island light could not be
seen.
The fact that big steamer was
ashore on the shoals became known
about midnight. when patrolmen OF
the life-saying station saw her light.
They gave the alarm and the station
crew went 10 her assistance II was
found, however, that the steamer was
in no danger. Her identity was not
known until this morning. when the
North America went 10 her.
