Court Condemns Action of Policeman
and Train Men.
Mr.. William K. Richardson, newspaper
correspondent, was the complainant today
in the Police Court, Judge Scott presiding,
against Policeman Charles Smith, Motor
man William O'Brien and Conductor Benja-
min Frazier, the two latter employees of the
Brightwood Electric Company.
Mr. Richardson said that the evening of
June % he was coming from his home in
Brightwood on an electric car. The car was
very much crowded and the complainant
said he had to stand on the running board
and was clingfng to one of the uprights.
He was approached by the conductor for
his fare, but he could not get it out of his
pocket without danger of losing his hold
and falling from the car. He told the con-
ductor he would give him the fare before
he got to the end of the road. Instead of
waiting requested, it is alleged, Frazier
said he would have to pay at once or get
off. Mr.. Richardson again said he would
pay when he had better chance to do So
Frazier then stopped the car and calling
O'Brien to his aid, they with officer Smith
dragged the witness from the car in such
a violent manner as to dislocate one of the
fingers of his left hand and to otherwise
bruse him.
All the defendants said Mr.. Richardson
was handled gently. Smith, a former en-
ploye of the railway company, admitted
having taken him by the legs. He said he
did not know how Mr.. Richardson got his
hand hurt.
Judge Scott asked Mr. Richardson who
dislocated his finger, and he replied the mo-
torman.
The court said 1t was evident that more
force than necessary was used to put the
complainant off the car, and that Mr.. Rich
ardson was unjustifably treated. Each of
the defendants was fined s., which was
paid.

DISTRICT BANNING BEACH.
The Advantages 1t Affords for Fresh
Water Bathing,


In the judgment Of many competent to
pass an opinion on it's merits, the District
bathing beach affords unsurpassed oppor-
tumties for fresh-water bathing and SWIM
ming. An analysis made by the District
chemist, at the instance of the bathing
peach committee, showed that the water at
the peach and its vicinity is exceptionally
pure for river water, and might be safely
USED for culinary purposes. The present
condition of the water at this source of bod
lily comfort and amusement has never been
excelled.
The recent warm spell has had a marked
effect in increasing the patronage of the
peach, and gives the attendants very busy
slLls; Inc basket appliances, which were
Iamlllar objects at the beach during the
past two seasons, have been removed, be-
cause Of the temptation they offered to I'M
practlced swimmers to go beyond their
aeptn. Ihey are not missed by the boys,
however, as their place seems to be more
than filled by the present arrangement of
the noats which sustained them, and by
lne catamaran made Of a platform sup
ported py three rows of empty barrels.
rms catamaran was constructed as an ex-
pertinent, but has proved satisfactory in
every respect as an appliance for the in
structlon and enjoyment of the more ex-
per1enced learners.
The beach is open exclusively to ladies
ana their escorts and accompanying chill
dren Monday, Wednesday and Friday morn
lngs, from until 10 o'clock, but ladies have
access to any part of the beach, and the
nortn part exclusively, at all times during
bathing hours. This north sixty feet has
been uniformly graded out to point where
It Is six feet deep at low tide, and thorough
~ covered with thick coating of sand.
the new bath houses on that part of the
peach have also been set apart for ladies
only, and partition is in course of con-
strnetion which will give seclusion to this
class OF patrons until they reach the water

before, and is composed of diligent and
courteous officials. Officer Lally, the repre-
sentative Of the police department at the
tact, it is said, in the maintenance of good
order, and in that respect has brought the
reputation of the beach up to the highest
standard, while Superintendent Stevens has
added by his experienced supervision, to
the many obligations the public are under
to MIN for establishing this great public ac-
