intention to operate during the coming
conclave and was so indiscreet as to
allow himself to be seen by one of the
detectives who are under special in
struction to look out for such charac-
ters as he and run them in. Judge
Fritz pronounced him guilty of va.
grancy and will sentence him this
morning.
Mrs Julia Duffy, accused of disturb
ing the peace of her daughter-in-law,
Mrs Annie Duffy, was sentenced to
thirty days imprisonment by Judge
Cabaniss, despite a fervent renewal of
her plea that she had abandoned the
Horses and Carts" and cast her po-
litical lot with the McNabbites. Mrs.
Terrier and two other matrons teSti-
fed that the defendants character was
not as dark as her alleged conduct
might indicate or her daughter-in-laW
had depicted it, but the unalterabie
fact remained that she repeated the
very offepse which the court had
warned her against a few days prior
to her rearrest. So for thirty days at
least there is likely TO be peace in the
Duffy home, on Guy place.
Elsie Barker made her third ap-
pearance within as many weeks before
Judge Conlan on the charge of drunk
enness and it was as much in sorrow
as in anger that his Honor gave her
the limit-six months imprisonmen
She is a young and rather good look
ing woman, who left her parents
home at Redding to seek employment
in the city and the companions she
took up with led her astray. At least
that was the story she told the Judge
on her first and second appearances
before him, and each time he believed
ii and dismissed her on her promise
to return to Redding Immediately.
The Salvation Army tried to restore
her to the stranght path, but she
spurned their reformatory efforts and
was drunk when a policeman arrested
her last Saturday night on Fifth street.
James NJ. Gallagher, who was among
the striking hackmen, told Judge Fritz
that as soon as he obtains work he
will provide for his minor child. Now
that the strike is over, he added, he
expects to be employed within a very
few days, and as soon as he gets con-
troll of a hack he will swear off drink
ing and turn his weekly wages over to
the court, so that they may be divided
justly among those dependent upon
them for maintenance. Then he was
dismissed.
Harry Morrison mounted Frank
Sylvester's bootblack stand at Fifth
and Mission streets last Saturday
afternoon and indulged in the luxury
Of a shine" When his attention was
called to the fact that his shoestrings
were defective he cheerily instructed
Mr.. Sylvester to go ahead and sup
plant them with new ones, but when
the instruction was obeyed he declined
TO pay cents for the substitutes,
opining that the 10 cents which he
paid for the shine was intended to de-
fray all incidentals.
Why" he argued. you might with
equal unreason charge me cents for
rolling upNmy trousers legs or brush
! ing my hat. The shoestrings 1 con-
slider an extra thrown in for courtesys
sake. To charge anything for them
[ consider attempted eXtortion."
According to the testimony heard by
| Judge Conlan, before whom Mr.. Nor
rison and Mr.. Sylvester were charged
with having disturbed the peace by
lighting, the bootblack attempted to
recover the new strings he had placed
! i'll Mr.. Morrison's shoes and was
kicked on the head by that gentleman.
Mr.. Sylvester retaliated by plucking
footrest from its socket and shifting
Mr.. Morrison's head, and Mr.. Nor
rison was endeavoring to equip himself
with a similar weapon when Patrol
man j. w. Doyle happily arrived and
arrested both combatants. They will
be sentenced to-day.

ten days for disturbing the peace.
Joseph Sullivan, who was arrested
or the Barbary Coast while he was
masquerading as a man-o'-War Jackie,
reappeared before Judge Cabaniss yes
terday in civilian garb and reiterated
his former plea that he had donned
the naval uniform for a bal masque
given by "the Easy Dues Club last
Friday evening.
"And if the press cares to remedy
an error" he added, lit might say that
