on amatory conquest bent and with
money TO spend. Pat sullivan, miner,
came down from Butte City, Mont.
where he had exhausted the list OF fair
ones he considered worth flirting with.
The fame Of San Francisco as a beauty
show attracted him, and when he ar
rived here he sailed forth to conquer.
Fate led him to ls5 Shipley street. a
lodging house owned by Mrs Catherine
Reynolds and there misfortune over
took both him and the lady. She was
the defendant on a grand larceny
charge in Judge Mogan's court, and
Pat Sullivan was her accuser.
Mrs. Reynolds pleaded not guilty
and then recoUnted her experience with
the Adonis from Butte. He entered her
establishment, she stated, and said he
desired 70 rent q room. and as her live
hhood was derived from the renting Of
rooms she treated him civilly and said
she would be pleased 10 have him for a
looger. Then his conduct became &c
centric. Dropping upon his knees, he
clasped HIS hands appealingly, address
ing her as queen Of his SOUL and de-
clared his senses were enslaved by her
charms. Then. proposing that she toast
him IN beer he rushed out. 10 return
moment later with a bottle of that
beverage. Considering him demented
and being alone and afraid, the
queen" humored his fancy by drink
ing a glass Of the beer. With renewed
assurances Of his imDerishable affec-
ton, he then withdrew. A few hours
later she was arrested on a warrant
charging her with having stolen s45
from Mr.. Sullivan.
Examined by the Judge. the COM
plainant confessed that he could not
prove the defendant guilty Of robbery.
This woman is discharged. said the
court. and I think her arrest was an
outrage. The complainant has proved
nothing more than that he was a fool,
and t hope he viii return TO Butte as
speedily as possible. The issuance Of
warrant on his unsupported complaint
was unjustified.'
Nr. Sullivan looked like anything
except a typical squire Of danes as he
walked out Of court.
A dispute over the rightful posses
sion Of silver dollar led to such seri-
SOlinsk Of 81 Ivy avenue that the man
retired TO escape the wOman's wrath.
When he had given her ample time for
restoration OF reason he returned, TO
nnd that she had barred the door
against him. and then he became
Wrathful and smashed the window.
Neighbors heard the crash imagined
burglars raised sashes and blew

fled. At the intersection Of Larl1in and
Hayes streets he ran into the arms Of
a policeman. and that's how he hap
pened to be a defendant before Judge
Mogan. The case is under advisement
Joseph Friedl. fair compleNioned,

coated. stood beside his black-skinned
wife in Judge Fritz's court and told
how she had been insulted by Martin
Devine. a jolly jack ashore.
The Friedls keep a hardware store
at 1872 Folsom street. and Mariner De
vine was passing the door when his
eye caught a glimpse of Mrs FriedL
into the shop he rolled. and addressing
the lady with the familiarity that men
# the sea exercise indiscriminately to-
ward the opposite sex he informed her
that he wanted a cigarette. In tone OF
freezing dignity she said she could not
give him one, and also commanded him
% git.out" He obeyed like a true dis
ciplinarian but as he made his exit he
plavfUlly smashed a window.

rial damage the Judge permitted Sea
man Devine 10 go free.

of the feminine dwellers in that

peace had been disturbed by Siegfried

In both cases the witnesses were /
numerous and voluble. Their testi- 4
