COULDN'T JOLLY COURT
Judge Sullivan Disbelieves Will
sons and Kigher's Stories.
REGULAR WEEKLY MATINEE
Isaac Adler Is Not Shrewd Guesser at
Ages and Is Fined $3O-He Also Is
Let Down for $40 More-Po-
lice Court Matters.

81 1t was all a mistake, that story
about the Kighers and George Will
son engaging in a three-cornered fight
last Sunday morning. That is, if the
testimony the three gave at their trial
4 in the police court contained as much
truth as sworn statements are always
supposed to. AT an early hour Sunday
: morning Police Officer Walsh was call
ed in to quell riot at the Newport
lodging house, on Wyoming street,
where William. Higher was engaged
in fight with his wife and Wilson,
which he was getting very much the
worst of. Higher said he had found
his wife and Wilson together in the
room, and that the black eyes he Wore
and the blood that overspread his
countenance were due to his having
been hammered by Wilson, While his
wife figures as Wilson's ally. The trio
was taken to jail.
When Wilson got there he had no
black eyes, but he had one 90 min
utes later, which was presented to him
by Higher in the general corridor, but
it was all quite different when the
three parties to the affair came be-
fore Judge Sullivan in the police court
yesterday to be tried for disturbing
the peace. They had made it all up
in the meantime, and it was quite a
pretty story they told and quite a nice
job they put up to jolly the court into
letting them down easy. ..0.
When the case was called Higher
pleaded guilty to the charge of disturb
ance, and the other two entered a
plea of not guilty. 1t was evidently
supposed that if one pleaded guilty he
4 all Ill Il
would be let off and one fine divided
between the three would fall lightly
on them when divided up. According
ly, when the case Went to trial the
woman and Wilson tried to swear it all
on Higher, and he stood for it. Kigh-
er took back his story to the officer
about catching his wife and Wilson in
a predicament and said he was drunk
and had started the row. The woman
said she had been in the room and
was sitting with the door open when
Wilson came along and stepped in to
ask her about something. Both Will
son and Higher swore without a blush
that they did not give one another the
black eyes they both Wore, but that
they got them the night before the
trouble. The story sounded well, but
Judge Sullivan evidently took little
stock in it, as he found both the wom
an and Wilson guilty and all three had
to produce SO apiece to procure their
liberty.
1t was Judge Sullivan's Tuesday mat
inee and the bill was rather an extern

Moscow. Idaho. Oct. 31.-The most dam
aging evidence yet presented against the
men on trial for obstructing the mails
was given to-day by the witnesses for
the prosecution. Objections by Colonel
Reddy, counsel for the defense were nu-

policy to give evidence in accordance with
the wishes of their employers.

Sive one. Among the cases on the
docket We're three against Isaac Adler,
young man who runs jewelry store
in East Park street. The first of these
to come up was a case in which Adler
was charged with violating the city or
dinance prohibiting business men from
purchasing certain articles from boys
under the age of Is years. The testi
mony was to the effect that Adler had
bought a watch from a 12-year-old boy
named Eddie Foley. The boy had sto-
len the watch from his father and TAX
en- it to Adler. who had given him a
cheap pistol, a box of cartridges and so
cents for it. After shooting off the
cartridges the boy sold the gun back to
Adler for IS cents. Adler made no de-
Tense. but his attorney made a plea in
his behalf saying it was a difficult
thing for a man to judge how old the
boy was. and that Adler undoubtedly
thought the boy was IS. The boy, who
was the principal witness for the city.
was present. AS he did not look as old
as he really was, a smile went round,
and Judge Sullivan. remarking that it
was a peculiar kind of a man who
could not tell that the boy was not IS,
fined the defendant $50.
In connection with the same case a
charge of conducting a secondhand
business without a license had been
Hffu against Aulef, Nnltn was ais
missed on the motion of the city attor-
ney, Nj. Lamb, and the third case was
taken up. In this case Adler was
charged with disturbing the peace by
using bad language to H. Coldwater,
Which that individual objected to. The
charge of disturbance was proven to
the satisfaction of the court and a fine
of $40 was imposed. Adler's counsel
gave notice of appeal in both cases in
which his client was convicted.

court We're: J. A. Miller, malicious

visiting her sister, Miss Kate.
The parlorS were gorgeously decor

white chrySanthemums and cotton,
profusely sprayed with silver-winged
butterflies and gold-bugS. The
guests were dressed in party style,
trimmed in butterflies of every con-

prominently conspicuous. Music,
plays and games were INDUCED in
heartily by all the butterflies, while
