their home at Fifth and Brannan
streets ere the honeymoon had fairly
waned, and from acrimonious argu-
ment it gradually broadened into fistic
combat. In the oral tits Nellie in
varia bly, held her own and had some
to spare, but in the athletic contests
Johns superior muscle and knowledge
of the boxing game always won outs
If conquered, however, Nellie was
never subdued. Her defeats were not
accompanied by disgrace, as that ele-
ment is rated in pugdom. for in alb
sorption of punishment she proved
herself a perfect glutton. Before
she succumbed John was convinced
that he had a fight on hand.
In the battle described by Patrol
man p. Hammond to Police Judge
Mogan the woman had been Knocked

minutes, but was upon her feet and

when the bout was stopped by the
officers arrival. He gallantly grasped
John and purposely afforded Nellie
opportunity to deliver a "sockdolo-
ger" or two upon the prisoners coun-
tenance, but instead of doing that she
transferred her battery to the police
man.

the officer to the Judge, but 1t was

The Asperns, John and Nellie, will
be sentenced tomorrow for disturb
ing the peace.
Patrolmen Berry and McCortie were
in Judge Cabaniss' court to tell how
they arrested Miss Alice Wilson for
masquerading in masculine attire, but
the defendant failed to appear and
thereby conveyed vexation of spirit to
an expectant auditory. The Judge
limited at forfeiting the $40 bail that
was present in lieu of the woman. but
an attorney asked for and obtained
continuance till tomorrow.
Miss Wilson-which is not her
name was promenading Fulton
street, near the Chutes, at midnight
Tuesday when the policemen cap
tured her. She was accompanied by
two women attired in automobiling
costume, while she wore masculine
neither garments that were consider
ably too small for her. She said she
had met with an accident while
autoing. 1t ruined her own clothing
and she was compelled to don her
little brothers trousers to enable her
to reach her home.
John Kelly. accused of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, hoped that
Judge Fritz would not be so cruel as
to deprive him of opportunity to full
fill his promise to treat lady friend
to Thanksgiving dinner. She was
of excessively sensitive temperament,
he explained, and if he disappointed
her the result might be a severance
of their relationship, which. ne con-
fessed, was tender. The Judge gave
Mr. Kelly twenty-four hours impris-
tete-a-tete absorption this afternoon.
Walter Conboy, convicted of va
grancy, will spend both Thanksgiving
and Christmas in durance, for Judge
Mogan sentenced him to three months.
He was arrested on the water front by
Patrolman Dover. who pronounced him
the most thorough bum" in San Fran
cisco. He served one term as president
of the Horseshoe Club, a social organi-
zation with headquarters amid the hay
bales on the Harrison street wharf,
and for heraldic emblem a tomato can
couchant surmounted by the inscrip-
ton wv. NJ w." which stands for I'VE
Never Work" The membership is large
and lazy, and the officer opined that Mr.
Conboy's election to the presidency was
not so much a testimonial to his poru-
larity as an evidence that no other
member was sufficiently energetic to
get up and run for 1t.
william Parker and Alexander de La
cruze, arrested while escerting an un-
conscious, inebriate into an alley Jut-
ting off Kearny street, with evident
intent to rob him, were given thirty
days apiece by Judge Fritz.
"Chee!" exclaimed Parker, "ef dat

Mr.. de Lacruze's facial expression elo-
quently indorsed his companions senti-
ment.
Ernest Carron robbed a drunken man
of his watch and chain early yesterday
morning in the doorway of saloon on
Market street, between Third and
Fourth, and Joseph Rodelli, plumber,
witnessed the theft and informed a po-
liceman. who found the stolen property
in one of Carron's shoes. Judge Mogan
