fenced to-day by Judge Fritz. Mr.. Ole
son testified that the woman hammered
the animals head with heavy rake,

r. P Hale of All Minna street ac-
cused Miss Alliene Hill of having pur-
loined from him one diamond ring and
presented it to rival for her affection.
She is charged with grand larceny, and
the man to whom she gave the ring is
also in prison, but the police do not
know what to do with him, as he did
not participate in the actual theft of
the bauble, which, by the way, he is
supposed to have hidden somewhere.
The case will be heard tomorrow by
Judge Mogan.
J. A. H. Umbach. accused with
George Farmer of robbing G. A. Clock
er at an early hour the other morning
in the latter's apartment, waxed indig-
nant when the prosecution moved for
postponement Of the hearing.
II desire to be tried right now" said
Mr. Umbach. Then, pointing right
index finger at the complainant, he ex-
claimed dramatically, TT is a shame
that a rascal like that should be al
lowed to injure mans reputation by
having him brought into court"
Despite the protest the case was con-
tinued till tomorrow, when 1t Will be
tried In Department No. 1.
James V. Miller (colored) also pro-
nounced his arrest an invasion of per-

he was seeking a Democrat.

F. H. Huber, who manages book
store on Kearny street, could not prove
that Edward Perry victimized him by
working the change trick" and Judge
Cabaniss dismissed the case. The prose-
cution tried to show that Mr.. Perry's
failure to obtain some dollars to which
he was not entitled was entirely owing
to Mr.. Hubers vigilance and obduracy.
