hauled them for selling carbolic acid
to a woman, and then their lack of
qualification for the trade was discov-
cred and led to their arrest. Judge
Fritz fined them $50 apiece for violat-
ing the pharmacy law, and hereafter
their business will be performed by
duly certificated clerk.
John Roselli was sauntering down
Pacific street last Saturday evening,
when rain began to fall upon him, and,
as his footgear was leaky, he helped
himself to a pair of rubber boots that
dangled in front of A. Somner's store
at No. 500. The theft was witnessed by
young woman, who shrilled an
alarm, and John ran, plunder in hand,
until he was captured after long and
exciting chase. He offered no defense
before Judge Conlan, and his sentence
for petty larceny is to be pronounced
this morning.
Hama Shirata, a dainty Japanese
miss, was accompanied by her paternal
relative when she appeared before
Judge Mogan and stated that she
would like to have Fernando Marco
compelled to pay for the surgical SER
vices necessitated by his horse step
ping upon her ribs as she was cross
ing Dupont street, near Pine, to pur-
chase beer for her familys vesper
meal.

Her father gave corroborative testi-
mony and Mr.. Mario was given until
to-day to pay the doctors bill.
Judge Cabaniss dismissed the larceny
charge which Amos Hicks had filed
against Miss Bessie Craig, because the
young woman proved conclusively that
the articles she was accused of stealing
from the complainant's apartments
were given by him to her as love
tokens and that his prosecution of her
was prompted by desire to prevent her

him to better-looking wooer
James Murray, a morphine slave, ar
rested for vagrancy, declared thai ne
did not care how long term of i'm
prisonment might be prescribed for
him as his life was a failure anyway
and might as we'll be spent in jail as
anywhere else. Judge Conlan gave the
unfortunate fellow six months and was
politely thanked for the sentence
Joseph Smith, who shot and killed
Joseph MCGOWAN last Saturday, was
charged with murder and INSTRUCTED as
to his rights before Judge Moga1 On
motion of the defendants attorneys,
ex-Judge D. J. Murphy and John j.
Gllfoil, the formal arraignment was
continued till next Monday by which
time the Coroner's jury will have been
heard from. Smith looked rather
worried as he sat with his counsel and
listened to the Judges instructions.
Miss Irene Curry gave a birthday
party last Saturday evening at her
apartments in 104 Turk street and those
present were Miss Lille Thomas,
Thomas ]. Curry and B. Castro. The
quartet unanimously informed Judge
Fritz that the landlady's intrusion was
unwarranted, as no more noise was
made than is usually produced at social
functions of that kind and that she
provoked the hurting of the mattress
at her by the way in which she talked
to the merrymakers. The landlady,
however, averred that if the party had
been deliberately trying to make
rough h-house" the uproar could not have
been greater and that it was to pre-
serve her furniture from menacing
demolition that she invaded the cham
Der and commanded that the festivities
cease. The mattress came to her so
suddenly that she could not state which
of the defendants hurled it. but she be-
lieved that it was projected by more
than one pair of hands. Case continued
one week.
Detected of spirit and deprived Of COM
panionship, Spider" Welsh, profess
sional pugilist, sat in the cage Of
Judge Fritz's court and awaited the
summons forth to be sentenced. What
would that sentence be? Would it en-
brace the maximum penalty for crap
shooting, tho offense for which he was
arrested and the top limit forsholding
the court in contempt by deliberately
lying to 1t? Narrowing possibility!
