WILL TEST THE LAW.

Louis Kaufman Will Find Out About the
Crossing Rule.
Louis Kaufman proposes to test the
sons for leaving horses standing on
the street crossing in front OF the pest
office in East Broadway. and does not
intend to stand convicted of having
committed that offense if he can help
it.
Some time ago the head Of the police
department made an order for the
arrest of all persons leaving their
teams standing on this cross walk.
Several arrests were made Of persons
who walked up and paid their fines
without question, but Louis Kaufman
was built differently. When arrest
ed because his team was found stand
ing on the crossing he went before the
court and pleaded not guilty. Yes
terday he had his trial before Judge
Sullivan. He conducted his own case,
and proved conclusively that he did
not leave his team on the crossing, but
that some other person had come along
and backed the horse across the cross
ing.
But that was not the main point
on which Mr.. kaufman relied. He con-
tended that the crossing was not a
public one. but had been built at pri-
waite expense, and therefore the city
had no authority to arrest persons for
blockading it. The court held differ
emily and fined him ST.
IT give notice Of appeal" said Mr..
Kaufman, .'for J. do not propose to
pay even 81 for something for which
was not responsible in the first place,
or for blockading crossing in which
the city has no interest,""

court and the father cross examined the
officer rather severely, compelling him to
admit that he had never seen the boys
out before at night and that his state
ment that they were tough was based
upon the fact that other boys in the
neighborhood were tough. Witnesses for
the defense denied that the boys did
anything wrong and charged that the
officer struck one of them and when the
other threatened to report him arrested
them both. The court found the boys
guilty and suspended sentence during
good behavior.
A. J. McWilliams, who was arrested on
a charge of stealing two kegs of saur-

Her LOVE GREW COLD
John Anderson No Longer the
Apple Of Mrs. Johnson's Eye.
CAST ASIDE FOR ANOTHER
And for That Reason John Enters Into q
Rock Throwing Contest and VIII
Look Between the Bars
for 80 Days.

John Anderson, My Joe john is not
the refrain that is most favored just
now by Mrs. johnson of No. 707 South
ARIZONA street, the reason being that
she and John have come to a mutual
misunderstanding. Time was when
John put his feet under Mrs. Johnson's
table three times day. but that time
has gone by and this explains why John
and the former apple of his eye were in
court yesterday to give their respective
stories anent rock throwing contest
which occurred at the premises of Mrs.
Johnson night before last.
According to the evidence adduced at
the trial of Anderson on charge of dis
turbilg the peace, the contestants We're
limited to John and the contest was TO
show how many rocks he would have
to thrown against Mrs. Johnson's door
before she would let him in. It further
appears that John was once Mrs. John
sons accepted adnlirer but had been
discarded some time ago, and another
installed in the lady's affections That
was why John threw the rocks. He
partook Of more red liquor than was
good for him, as it aroused in him a. de-
sire to get even, and caused him to de-
port himself as aforesaid.
What reason has this man for mo-
testing your inquired the court Of Mrs.
Johnson.
..Only that he tells me that he loves
me-" was the response, the witness
blushing becomingly.
Johns trial came to an abrupt end
at this time. Mrs. Johnson was excused
and John stood up and said he would
plead guilty
."rhe court orders and adjudges that
the defendant be fined in the sum of $50
and failing to pay the same that ne
stand committed to the city jail for the
period of 80 days." observed the court.
who then added: you must not an
noy that woman any more, and II yoH
are brought in here on the same charge
again you will be severely dealt with
At this, which meant to John the ~
days he sought to make an explanation
in the hope that the court would tighten
the sentence and proceeded to make
some sensational charges against the
woman, but she had departed and the
court refused to listen to the damaging
statements regarding her character -
her absence and the sentence stood.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
John Schneider Wanted in Idaho for
Criminal Assault,

John Schneider Wanted in Idaho for
Criminal Assault,
1t transpired yesterday that John
Schneider, who was arrested day before
yesterday by the police on Geographic
instructions from Weiser, Idaho. Is
wanted at that place on the serious
charge of criminal assault, and Sheriff
George D. Dean arrived last night from
Weiser to take him back.
Schneider is the man who gave the
name of Snyder when he had man
named Corrigan arrested last Sunday for
robhing him, as he claimed, and who
got himself locked up for sauclng the
chief of police. When arrested Monday
the police did not know what Schneider
was wanted for, and for that reason
booked no charge against him. Yesterday
he employed Attorney John Kirk to try
to secure him his liberty by habeas cor
pus proceedings.
Attorney Kirk went before Judge Clan
cy yesterday with petition for a writ,
reciting that Schneider was arrested
without a warrant and was being re-
strained of his liberty without warrant
of law. Judge Clancy granted the order
for the writ and set the hearing for
o'clock yesterday afternoon BY that
time Chief of Police Lavel had received
a Geographic warrant from Sheriff Dean
of Weiser, stating the charge on which
Schneider was wanted, accompanied with
the request that he be held until Sheriff
Dean reached Butte. $780,. E"
The telegram was presented to the
court when the hearing came up at 4
o'clock and the charge was continued
until this evening to give time for the
Weiser officer to be heard.
1t is said the offense with which
Schneider is charged was the commission
of criminal assault upon young fe-
male relative of his.

No new smallpox cases were discov-
cred yesterday and the authorities are
now hopeful that the epidemic which
was feared will not materialize. There
We're three suspicious cases reported
during the day, but when visited by Dr.
Monroe it was found they were not
smallpox.
The quarantine on the Maule block
was raised yesterday and those of the
inmates who had not escaped were very
thankful to obtain their liberty once
more.
DR.. Monroe stated last evening tina.
all the patients in his charge were rap
idly recovering except Mrs. Peter Foley
of T0S North Wyoming street, who was
very sick; and word was received from
the pesthouse that the patients there
| were also improving satisfactorily. Neil
Mcleod, about whose case the contro-
| versy arose among the doctors, has
| been discharged. The county commits
| ! sioners sent him a suit of clothes and
| he returned to the city.
| Considerable criticism is heard among
| people who had their children vacci-
| mated by others than practicing physi-
clans Of the fact that such children are
not permitted to attend school because
they are unable to present a certificate
or vaccination from a physician 1t Is
said that a great many people when
the scare first started and since as well
procured vaccine from drug stores and
vaccinated their children themselves,
or had some one do it, to save the ex-
pense Of going to a physician. The or
| der requiring children to bring a GER
| tificate from practicing physician,
| these people complain, works a hard
! ship on them. for the reason that if thay
!, take their children to doctor to get a
| certificate they are charged the same
| for the certificate as though the physi-
| clan did the vaccinating.
| One citizen who vaccnated his boy
| successfully, but who was obliged to
| go to a physician and pay $1.50 for a
| certificate before the boy could attend
school, complained rather bitterly yes
| terday of what he considered a very
arbitrary requirement.
Money was not very plentiful with
me-" said he, land ! concluded / could
| vaccinate my boy as well as any one
| and save at least dollar. I did so.
| and it took, yet before my boy could
| go to school I was obliged to go to
doctor and have him look at the arm
and then pay him the regular price for
| vaccinating him in order to get him to
sign a certificate of successful vacci-
| nation.
| This order requiring that certificates
must be signed by physicians looks very
| much to me like some one in authority

| tors. l cannot see, if child has been
successfully vaccinated, why the school
! teacher cannot look at the vaccination

her slap him repeatedly. At another
time she told the witness that she had

Sol Binnard. a brother of the victim,
said he saw the latter's wife strike him
with her fist a number Of times. and
she always addressed him in the vii

least 40 times. She called him vile

after she left him she went to Salt
Lake. where she discarded his name and
assumed her maiden name. He tried to
induce her to return to him, but she
told him she would not come, as she
