Wing and Wing last Friday, but de-
spite that fact he boarded the vessel

James Hawks believed he had a right
to chop down the stairway leading
from the street to his home on the
second floor of 1872 Fulton street. In
the first place, he argued, only his own
family would be put to any inconven-
ience by his removal OF the means of
ingress and egress, and, In the second
place, the stairs had been so debili-
tated by the effects OF the rainstorm
that they were no longer safe to tread
upon. Therefore he considered it the
prerogative of no person outside Of
his own household to dictate what he
should do or should not do with the
stairway. Although he questioned the
right of Patrolman Earle to arrest him
for malicious mischief, he did not at
tempt to resist that officer, but meekly
accompanied him to the prison. He
hoped that Judge Mogan would weigh
carefully the circumstances before pro-
ncuncing judgment.
His Honor took all the facts into con-
sideration before he dismissed Mr..
Hawks and ordered restored to him
the ak which the policeman had ap-
propriated with intention to submit as
evidence for the prosecution.

Judge Mogan consented to have the
charge of grand larceny against John
Benson changed to that of battery,
and then sentenced him to six months
imprisonment.
Benson is Is years of age and by
occupation a sailor. He was arrested
on September 15 on complaint of Mrs.
Kate Courtenay of 332 Main street,
whom he knocked down and, it was
alleged, attempted to rob at Main and
Howard streets. Several firemen who
witnessed the incident testified that
the young fellow was drunk and appar-
entity did not realize what he was do
ing. He was given a good character
by the superintendent of the Sailors
Home, where he resided.

compatriot, John Yokila, came from
Oakland with blood in his eye. But
he did not propose to take cowardly
advantage of the man he hated. No,
indeed. Instead of committing ordi-
nary assault and battery he procured
a pair of fencing foils, went to Yoki-
las residence, 243 Steuart street, and
challenged him to cut, thrust and
parry until one or the other was in
capacitated for further fighting. In
stead of accepting the challenge Yo-
kila had Mativen arrested and charged
with disturbing the peace. Judge Con-
Ian continued the hearing.

II was the opinion of both Mr.. and
Mrs. Barker, and they voiced it with
emphasis yesterday morning in the
court Of Police Judge Mogan, that
Dentist NJ. f. Smith must have been
either insanely reckless of consequences
or imbued with murderous desire when
he fired his pistol last Sunday after
noon and frightened them almost to the
swooning point. They were seated on
the ocean beach, opposite NJ street.
they averred, when the sharp report of
a revolver, shot behind them. and the
simultaneous splash of a bullet in the
water at which they were pensively
gazing rudely dispeIled their day
dream Springing to their respective
feet they saw Dentist Smith. pistol in
hand, standing on the boulevard and
apparently preparing to send another
leaden missile in the direction taken
by its predecessor. which was in direct
line with their persons. They fran
tically requested him TO save his am
munition and then had him arrested
for discharging firearms within the city
limits. They were certain that their
lives were only preserved by a sand
hummock that lay between them and
the marksman when he fred the first
shot. Mr.. Barker, indeed. believed that
the bullet whizzed directly q, few inches
above his head and that if he had not
happened to be in a recumbent position
1t would have entered his body. So
narrowly did it miss him that he both
saw and heard its flight.
The defendant said he did not per-
ceive any one between himself and the
ocean when he fired the shot and the
only motive he had in firing it was to
ascertain whether his pistol was in
working order. As he had; never seen
or heard of Mr.. or Mrs. Barker until
they leaped from behind the hummock
that concealed them from his gaze
when he took aim, he certainly had no
desire TO kill or even scare them.
Mr.. Barker, however, insisted on in
sinuating that something more than
mere thoughtlessness was at the bot
tom of the dentists misdemeanor, and
so vociferous did he become in denun-
citation of that gentleman's conduct
that the Judge took issue with him.
His Honor held that the defendant
could be censured only for carelessness
in his pistol practice, just as Mr.. Bar
ker had been rather careless in his
dealing with the truth when he testi-
fed that he saw the bullet fly and
heard it buzz. Then the case was taken
under advisement.

Edward Murray was posing as
one-armed beggar on the Barbary
Coast, when Patrolman Nelson discov-

policeman testified that Murray had
one Of his arms twisted behind him in
such a way as TO lead the casual OBJ
server to imagine that it had been
amputated at the shoulder, and that
he was reaping a harvest of small
coins from plying pedestrians when
his swindle was checked. Judge Con-
Ian gave him six months imprison-

early yesterday morning when shot
was fired, and Patrolman Tillman

contradictory stories told by those

that Mr.. Almon had made a target of
his wife, but the woman denied il and
supplemented her denial with such
oral abuse of the accuser that he took

WEATHER IS COOL
The Figures Show 1t To
Doubling Thomases.
And as We Live in Hopes 1t is Possible
That Today May Keep
Up the Rec
ord.

Jus as this paper gave out the glad
tidings it was cooler yesterday, and
life was worth living.
The temperature went down many
degrees and during part of the day
a pleasant breeze sent in it's visiting
card. "Glad to see YOU" said every
body.
1t might have been cooler, but it
was not, and Mr.. A. Weisner, the
Weather Man, told me why this was
so. He pointed it out on a weather
map likewise and from it l gathered
the following:
On Monday the area of high barom-
eter was in Montana and Kansas, and
this was moving to the east. 1t must,
of course, either go direct east, north
east, or southeast. If the latter had
occurred we would have had some real
cool weather, but it took the northeast
trip and landed yesterday up amongst
the Great Lakes, just flirting an edge
of cool weather down this way. These
high pressure areas are generally at
tended by cooler weather, and it was
so in this case, as shown by the low
tempera ture in Montanan and Wyom-
ing, as reported yesterday, and by the
fall in temperature in the Lake Re-
gion, where the high pressure area
was central yesterday morning.
And here are the figures that show
how the folks in that section got a
cold whiff yesterday. On Monday at
Oswego, N. Y, the temperature was
"a. yesterday 62 Buffalo fell from IA
to 5S; Cleveland rs to 62; Detroit 20
to 5S; Connecticut rs to Ga; Pittsburg
"A to SIS.
These daily changes in the weather
are shown on the weather maps that
are issued, and if one refers to those
of the 22nd and 23rd the change can
be plainly seen, and then the bulging
lines on the map marking the pro-
gress of the high barometric pres
sure take on new meaning.
For today light thunder storms may
come in some sections, which may re-
lieve the heat here. Anyway yester-
day was somewhat cooler, and the fol-
lowing table, showing the difference
by hours in the temperature Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday in Raleigh, will
show that there was a decided change
yesterday:
