RECORDERS BUSY DAY
Something Doing All Day Yesterday
 at the City Hall.

The rc.order's court yesterday was q ] scene CT old time activity, such as does a police.-.au's heart good to witness. There wers fourteen cases tp be dis 1 posed of. and thirteen Of them faced the administrative representative of l outrag ged justice. The other man was
 9 quiet drunk who .crfeited g. fine by refusing to appear. To save time necessary in ilCiviiuaIizine, il may be
 said that the court played no favO- rites. and gave ever. i-:zr passed uocn
 fine of SEQ or twenty daya.
 Under tine head of disturbing the peace Joe Hamilton. Juan Pelarsar ard John Bender were arraigned. The first
 two named were convicted and sent below. Bender was sent below. though
 hc was not couvi,ted. II may -e safely
 predicted. though. that he will be. for his conduct is court would entitle him . to some sort of a sentence had there
 been no othe.- charge. Bender is an
 old offender. and bette known under
 the name of Erenchy. lie is not Vag
 n the sense illus:re ted b. poverty and
 begging. Bender has been arrested
 many times and though dirty beyond description and Usualy drunk, he ;i-
 ways has q DooEetfui of cash or Cer- t!Gcotcs Of deposit. When arrested this
 time he had s67 in his clothes. but he
 was SD dirty the money was small in cent've to careful search. When his case came up-the recorder wanted Co 60 the talking. but ne couldn't set
 the floor Tender ins:sted on telling
 tine court what ought 10 be done. and was SO persistent he Vas sent below for sentence at some future time.
 W. R. Jackson. L. T-evine. Td Kelly and Karl Barber formed a =aVory quaTtette Of hoboes that tooS the twenty day sentence like 9 duck take= to water.-and passed into the relhar
 Vorld-that r.. tf.e world ia the base lnent Of the city hall.
 Frank Lynn, an invalid. vas arrested under the same charge. put after an examination by the city physician. he vas sent to the hospital at the poor farm.
 Another man also protested that he was almost dead and pleaded for an eNamina ton by the city health officer. At its conclusion that official told him he was g frst-class risk for a life in- to take his medicine.
 But the most interesting catch was trio jailed early yesterday morning. having been found in a box car at the N. & r. depot by officers Lawrence and Bush. They were not tried but will be held pending the search for evj- deuce Of stronee~ charge than vas rancy. Tn the car a paper was found under the head of one Of them. contain ing bunch of skeleton keys and other things that suggest a burglars outfit. They were brought up in hack and when the -ehicle stopped at the jail and while the officers got out on one side the other door of ths hack was opened and ring wss heard from the ground nearby The suspects c--nle3 having thrown out anything, but dark lantern revealed another skeleton key on the ground. The men all deny having any keys or other implements of the kind. but the officers Tn the course of the arrest at one time and another found in their close vicinity four Fkel- eton keys a crow for opening tumDisr locks and cnther interesting exhibits. among which were several fountain pens. which the men have been ped ding around town. IL is not believed . however. that the pens were stolen . here.
 The police have descriptions of a couple Of men wanted in Sacramento . for various crimes. and two of the trio arrested seem to tally very well with the descriptions given.
 Another incident Of eome interest occurred during the afternoon. A young man came to the marshaIs Of flee and said he was sick. The city physician examined him and told hi.a he was as sound as a dollar. This i'm formation seemed to discourage EIm. and he told Officer Russell h. was gp- !. ing out to commit suicide. Mir. Russell agreed with him that it would be a good idea. but to date the coroner has made no report.
