HOFFMAN'S MANY OFFENSES. =
Fhe police piled 1t on Frank Hoffman
on Sunday night. Hoffman had been
around town in the capacity of unof1-
cial inspector eli spirituous, vinOus
and malt liquors until he sacrificed
the mastery of his bicycle. At last he
! fell and in the fall the lamp of his
wheel was broken and extinguished.
| The police had been watching him for
some time. They arrested him for in
toXication and also made the charge of
riding without light against him.
He put up his gold watch for his ap-
pearance in police court yesterday at
ternoon. He was fined SO, which was
pretty reasonable considering his null
tifarious offenses.
WARNED AGAINST BATHING. -
A movement has been begun against
bathing in the canal near the city linn
it's. The objection is not that the
flow of the water is impeded by the
ibatherS, but for the most part the pre-
vailing costume is simple to the point
of immodesty. Boys of from eight to
fourteen may be seen at all hours of
the day in bathing suits ranging from
abbreviated Overalls down to the alto
gether From the point of view of
cleanliness there Is no advantage in
bathing in the canal at all. The bather
finally energies with a coating of silt
which he has to go home and wash off
if he has any regard for his health
The constables will be instructed by
the board of supervisors 20 arrest all
who neglect this warning
SOLD LIQUOR TO INDIANS. 1t
is reported that the Yaquis in Arizona
are all returning to Sonora to assist in
the uprising against Mexican authori-
ty This may be true with most of
them, but there is one of the tribe
named Jose Garcia who will hardly be
able to report for duty during the pres
emit insurrectiOn. He was arrested in
Tempe for selling liquor to Indians
and after his capture it was discovered
that lie still had some of the original
stock on hand, but it was SO far be-
meath his vest the officers could not
secure it, though they enjoyed its in
cense to their full satisfaction. He was
before the commissioner
yesterday and his examination was set
for Thursday.

A MEXICAN MARTYR. About a /,
week ago officers Dowell and Hale ar
ested fragrant bunch of Mexicans
or kicking up a disturbance on Mon
Oe street. En- route to the Jail one
made his escape. But before the party
cached the city hall it was met by q
Gexican, who, the officers calm, was
he escape, and their theory is that he
an around a block and thinking he
7ould not be recognized purpOsely met
he officers again to see how his
riends were getting along. He gave
he name Of Joaquin Sonora and was
placed under arrest and
tried, convicted and fined
Is. At the trial he protested his in
ocance, but the word of the officers
as taken in preference. Later he
sked for new trial and it was
ranted, the date being set for yester-
ay He had a goodly array of rep
Mexicans on hand as wit
esses, by whom he claimed he could
OF only prove an alibi but his gen.
raj good character. The city attor-
ey, however, put a stop to proceed
lgs by informing the court that the
efendant had sinned away his day of
race by not applying for a new trial
n the occasion of his convic-
on. The legal talk was effective
nd the recorder announced that the
ew trial was all off and the old SEN
nee must stick.
