SHATTERED AT A BLOW

derson and all her folk were eager to
accept Mr.. Benjamins proposal and
one emotional lady averred that even
the week-old baby in the case had
opened its eyes and smiled acquies-
cence.
So when the case was called and the
Judge heard of the agreement he ad-
vised the Andersons to hurry up If
they desired to have the knot tied that
day. as the morning was far advanced
and haste was essential to obtaining
the license in time to have the nup-
tials performed at high noon, his in
variable hour for officiating at such
pleasant functions. There was in
slant scurrying between the two halls,
but alas! II o'clock came and went
and the license appeared not. His
Honor even waited till 1:45 and then
reluctantly locked up his chamber
and went to luncheon.
Subsequently is was ascertained that
the official who issues the wedding
permits could not be found by the
perspiring Andersons until he return
ed from refreshing the inner man and
then 1t was too late to have the union
effected unless an exploring expedition
was sent out in quest of Judge Mo-
gan. The marriage will be pulled off
tomorrow, however, Mr.. Benjamin's
Incarceration continuing until he is
pronounced a husband.
Charles Yehl, a bartender out of
job. satisfied Judge Mogan that in
ability to obtain employment at his
regular vocation was the sole cause
of his alleged failure to provide for
the support of his minor child. If
there were fewer persons ready to
tend bar or more bars in need of tend
ing Mr.. Yehl opined his family might
have no reason to complain Of negli-
gence on his part; but the fact was
that the supply Of mixologists exceed
ed the demand for Mythology. To all
of which the court lent attentive ear
and then desired to be informed If
Mr.. Yehps apparent reluctance to turn
his hand to some other honest means
of bread getting was incurable. Mr.
Yehl replied that he did not think it
was, and then his Honor suggested
that he apply the cure as speedily as
possible. For" added the bench, IT
don't think you would sacrifice more
personal dignity by tackling any Job
you can get than you are losing by
having those dependent upon you for
life's necessaries complaining that you
fail to provide for them"
William Wilson, who ATTEMPTED TO
transform a Market street saloon into
a slaughter-house one night two weeks
ago, was fined SOS for carrying brass
knuckles by Judge Cabaniss.
Emma Carroll, vagrant. was saved
from long term Of Imprisonment
through the mediation of Rebel
George" the evangelist, who persuaded
Judge Fritz to allow the woman to re-
turn to the Oakland home of her re-
spectacle parents. When 1 looked at
her face" said the mediator "I saw
that she was ashamed of herself, and
when learned that her parents would
not have anything more to do with her
/ prayed to the Lord to soften their
hearts. Then 1 talked to them and
found that my prayer had been an
swered. I have no fear of her back
sliding. Her repentance is keen, she
has found the light and the Lord will
help her"
Mrs. Annie Speakman, charged with
attempting to murder Mrs. Clara Lefe-
vre by cutting her with a carving knife
one day about a month ago, was ready
for trial before Judge Mogan, but again
a continuance was asked for and grant
ed on the ground that Mrs. Lefevre is
unable to appear In court because of
her injuries. The case will be called
again next Saturday. It looks to the
experts as If strenuous effort is being
made to effect settlement out of
court.
Charles Kady was convicted of bat
terry on November IS, 1903, and Judge
Fritz sentenced him to fifty days i'm
prisonment. He appealed to the Supc-
rior Court and sentence was suspended.
The upper court, however, sustained
the magistrates action, and now
Charles Kady must serve his fifty days
If the police can find him. The COM
plainant was married woman who OBJ
jected to his attentions.
AS a consequence of his once having
helped the police. the charge of imper-
sonating a licensed plumber on which
William Yakowski was before Judge
Mogan has been dismissed 1t was va
kowsh's information that led to the ar
rest, conviction and execution of three
Russian ex-convicts who murdered the
Weber family in Sacramento about
ten years ago. The assassins boarded
at the Yakowski residence.
Judge Fritz issued an attachment for
the arrest of Harry Mondooly who ac-
cused Bacon place woman of stealing
$40 from him and then failed to appear
to prosecute her.
