IN THE POLICE COURT
Grating a Profitable Business
for Augusta Taylor.
RAKE-OFF OF TEN DOLLARS
A Light Fine for Her Theft of S2O-De.
MED That She Robbed Stokes-A
Lucky Quartette OF
Offenders.

Augusta Taylor, the woman arrested
Friday night for robbing John Stokes,
a miner at the Cousa-Parrot, will find
the grating business quite profitable
at the rate at which her offense was
punished in the police court yesterday,
if she stays by it and always gets off
as easily. She parted Stokes from $50
of his money, spent night at the city
Jail and was fined $40 when she ap-
peared in the police court yesterday
morning, leaving her neat profit of
$40 for her nights work When the
woman appeared before Judge sullivan
she entered a qualified plea, acknoWl-
edging she was guilty of the technical
charge of maintaining a house Of pros
titution, but denying that she fobbed
Stokes which furnished the real occa-
sion for her arrest. AS there was no
one in court to contradict her statement,
Stokes having failed to show up, Judge
Sullivan imposed the customary fine Cor
the offense charged. The woman pro-
duced the money and left the court
room smiling.
A uuartette of other offenders were
equally as lucky as the Taylor woman
in getting off with light punishment.
T. T. Mcmahon, who was arrested for
beng drunk and who made "a desperate
effort to wreck the jail. breaking dishes
and glasses and everything else within
his reach that was breakable, and was
only subdued after being repeatedly
knocked down by Jailer McGlynn and
finally locked in the dungeon. escaped

$40 fine for his disorderly conduct in the

I'm OLD KENTUCKY"
1t Is an Idy1lic Romance of Southern
Life.


Life.
That ever popular and pretty story of
Kentucky life, I'm Old Kentucky" will
be at the Grand next Sunday night.
Probably no American play of the day
appeals as strongly to the masses as
does the idyllic romance of the South
with its characteristic types of south
ern life, it's scenes on the race track, its
grotesque pickanninies and it's mani
fold other attractions. The singing and
dancing little darkies come in for no
small share of applause and their por-
ton of the entertainment is one of the
delightful episodes of the play There
are 30 or more of these ragged pickan-
mines. some of them compose the
Wangdoodle brass band, others sing,
dance, shoot craps and amuse them
selves in various ways Their native,
unaffected ease and apparent enjoy
ment of all they do render this a re-
markable stage picture. The cast of
the play is a thoroughly competent one
and the scenery and effects very elab-
crate.

four inches of rain II would mean the saving to
him thousands of dollars in agricultural way.

the banker.
Certainly" she said 80
IF YOU will give me four inches Of rain Will
pay the debt OF the Methodist Church." said the
banker
Mrs. Fuller at once went home and commenced
to pray. She told other members of the church
about the matter and they prayed. The whole
town of fifteen hundred people became interested.
Two DAYS later * commenced to rain. Steadily
down IL came-one inch. two inches, three, three
and three quarters. At last while the town held
its breath the gauge filed up TO four inches, and
the crops OF Alameda County were saved.
Then Mrs Fuller reminded Banker Pitcher OF his
promise lie was still inclined TO treat the matter
as n joke. but he toed the scratch manfuliy ana
paid the church debt Of $500. -
Then came the complications. Mr.. Pitcher is a
trustee of the Presbyterian Church OF Iivermore

church instead of the Methodist. So he com

pajrs ON the Presbyterian Church property.
