POLICE COURT Do1Ncs
Troubles OF the Bruisers, Drunks and
Ignorant yiolatoTs OF the Law.

Jesus Miranda was arrested Thurs
day night by Officers Kaufman and
Upton in the vicinity of the Columbus
saloon whittier they were escorted by
a Mexican woman who was covered
with blood from a bruising of the
nose and a general batterinS up, though
she was not seriously hurt. She said
Miranda had appeared at her door and
demanded admittance which was retuS-
ed when he smashed the window and
the door and came in anyway. Then
he assaulted her and run her out of
the house. When the police got there
the man had crawled into a narrow
passage between that and the adjCin
ing building and laid down to sleep
off his intoXication. They pulled him
out. loaded him into a hack and took
him to the city Jail before he regained
consciousness. Yesterday he was tried
by Recorder Jobs and sent to Jail for
twenty days, another charge being at
the same time lodged against him in
Justice Robertson's court Miranda is
a barber and has a shop on South
Second street opposite the city hall.
Pedro Sanchez. a sleeping drunk for
feited five dollar cash bond he had
deposited for his freedom.
Pasqual Grijalva is a Mexican that is
strictly next to American customs.
Yesterday afternoon he hit country
man Oh the nose at the Central saloon
and without waiting for an invitation
rushed over to the police court, pleaded
guilty ard paid fine of five dollars.
Charles Roberts, an Indian, was also
arrested late yesterday afternoon by
Officer Moore for obstructing a street
with his pony. That looks like rather
an odd charge and it is possible the
Indians only crime was a lack CT good
sense. He had rope something less
than a quarter of a mile long so he
left his horse in front of Wells-Fargo's
express office and tied him to an avn
ing pole in front, of the Commercial
hotel. The horse kept the rope little
too high for ladies to jump over and
not low enough for teamsters to drive
over. Noting that the industrial pro-
gress OF the city was being seriously
interfered with he was arrested and
gave Il three-6cliar cash bond for his
appearance in court, after which he
reeled in the slack anchor line.

and was discharged.
Bias Contreras got on a high lone

MR.. CONTIGUOUS ORDER.

The overcrowded excursion boat uSu-
ally attracts attention when an accident
has happened or when disaster has
been narrowly averted. Then people
speak about violated regulations and of
the failure on the part of officials to
enforce the law. After few days the
incident is forgotten and the excursion
resumes its trips. This criminal practice
has been brought to the attention of
Secretary Cortelyou, who has issued Il
special order to the steamboat inspec-
tors in which the rigid enforcement of
the regulations is called for.
The regulations have e: ;sted for /
long time, but the men who had charge
of excursion boats running on the riv
ers and lakes and along the Atlantic
coast have always found room for
one more" no matter how crowded the
steamers may have been, and this WAS
done because the officials wlnked at
the abuse. The recklesSneSS of owners
and the blindness OF inspectors were
in conspicuous evidence at the time OF
the last International yacht races. and
it was probably with a view TO prevent
d recurrence of the scenes of fech-
lessness of that season that the order
of Secretary COrtelyou was issued. The
masters of excursion steamers undouot-
eddy realize that the order from the
department of commerce is not mat
ter of form. but that it means the De-
ginning of Il new era in the excursion
business. and that the day when
''Ghere's always room for another on an
eXcurion boat" is over
When the regulations are enforced a
great source OF danger will have been
removed, and men will go down to the
sea in ships with d greater feeling o.
security than they felt in the days of
the deaf and blind inspectors.-New
York Tribune.
