Sonora Palma, raising her tone pitch,
humping the carpet with increased
vigor and absolutely ignoring both
critic and criticism.
Mr.. Bell repeated his request in
voice of pronounced acidity, but the
lady pursued her vocal and physical
exercise as if he were not. Then he
abandoned suasion and resorted to in
timidation, but not until his language
became thickly larded with profanity
did she look up and take notice. She
abruptly ceased both singing and
clouting the carpet long enough to
convince herself that his utterances
were really abusive, and then she had
him arrested for disturbing her peace.
The case had a brief inning yester-
day before Police Judge Mogan and
much testimony is expected to be ven-
tilated at the next hearing, set for
December Is.

Mr.. o'Smith acknowledged the at
tempted trunk removal, but denied the
battery. He did not intend to elude
payment of his room rental, but he de-
sired to get his personal belongings
out of Nine. Frances house ere he
notified her of his determination to OBJ
tain another abiding place. Why? oh,
just because he knew there would be

of his contemplated change of resi-
dence. The fact was, If the court must
know it, his landlady had become too
tender in her attentions to him, and,
as he could not reciprocate in kind, he
felt that 1t was his duty as a man of
honor to flee her presence. He had
lodged In her house about nine months
and throughout that period her att
tachment to him waxed in strength
until IT became an annoyance. Even
when she discovered his attempt to
escape she inlplored him to remain
where he was, and when he sturdily
ignored the voice of the siren she sat
upon his trunk and refused to move.
While he may have exercised little
physical force in effort TO unseat her
anG secure his property there was no
eye punching by him.
Then the case was dismissed.
Patrolmen Brown and Groat testified
that each Of the three Toms-Ahern,
Kern and Toomey-was as bad as
either of the two in the matter OF per-
silent vagabondage and fighting, al
though Toomey was the one that al
ways performed the actual fistic work
and received the counter blows. When
the trio became laden with the cheap
claret dispensed at their favorite wine
joint on lower Commercial street
Ahern and Kern complimented Toomey
on his boxing ability until he became in
named with desire to prove by practical
demonstration that their f1attery was
not unmerited, and then forth they

went to find a foeman worthy of his
muscle and science. When a likely
looking subject, usually belonging TO
their own social set, was selected
Toomey went in to win, while Kern
seconded him and Ahern kept lookout
for the police If the fortune of war,
however, should signal intention to
turn against Toomey. Kern invariably
punched the other fellow while they
were clinched, and thus maintained an
even balance until Toomey won out.
The second round of Toomey's latest
fight was in progress last Friday after
noon in a Barbary Coast alley when
Patrolmen Brown and Groat rushed
the guard and arrested the trio
Toomey's opponent escaping without
his coat.
The three Toms will be sentenced for

he had repeatedly requested her to de-

handkerchiefs into their mouths and
abstained from laughing after his first

building after threatening those in the
bank and, leaping into buggy stand
ing near, lashed the horse into run.
The streets were crowded at the time
and a large crowd was Immediately in
pursuit of the men. Their progress
was impeded by a crush of drays in
the wholesale district and they were
stopped for moment by the crowd,
which had received word Of the rob-
berry.
A liberal display of revolvers fright
ered the crowd back and the robbers
turned and fled IN another direction
\ big crowd took up the chase, includ-
iBg several automobiles, whose owners
managed to keep in sight of the men.
The men travelled rapidly and gained
on the crowd. They drove to the river
bank, where they abandoned their rig

peared.

Post, war correspondent for the New
York Herald during the war with

an English Baron. is a fugitive from
justice. The County Attorney tonight
fled in secret an information charging
Herrick with bigamy.
Herrick is believed to be in Denver
or Spokane and officers of the West
ern cities have been notified to arrest
him.
Herrick's marriage to Miss Alma

was one Of the important society
events Of the season. News Of the ef-
forts 10 cause his arrest is certain to
cause a sensation.
Herrick was connected with one Of
the local newspapers until a few days
ago. He was a man Of many attain
ments. who quickly made friends
among the best residents and his So
cial position was assured from the
first. He and his latest bride have
been back from their honeymoon only
q few days.
X. A. Crawford, an Iowa attorney,
visited the County Attorney to-day
with the information that Herrick had
2 wife and 10-year-old daughter in
Spokane, Wash.
The first Mrs. Herrick was a Miss
Gsrbraith. The man left his family
in Spokane several months ago and
has not been heard from by them
since. Inquiries instituted by Mrs.
Eerrick led to the discovery of her
husband in this cry. Herrick is be-
Icved 10 have learned of his wife's
search for him and TO have gone West
TO straighten out family affairs just
at the time papers were being pre-
pared for his arrest
The latest Mrs. Herrick is at the
home of her parents in this city. She
IS a handsome woman, the sister Of
Katherine Urlau, an actress in David
Belasco's Darling of the Gods Com
pamy.
Herrick's father is Sir William H
Derrick Of Derbyshire. England. Her
rick was famous in college as an
athlete.
