It was enormously announced yesterday that he had whipped his mother after crawling through the window of her house on Third street. It seems that the house was occupied not by his mother but by the Yescas woman, whose record with the police is but little better than that of her assailant. Guillermo Bra camonte was also brought before the magistrate by G. Alvarado, driver of sprinkling cart and an ex-officio po- Hceman. Bracamonte though, seemed to have been sinned against rather than shining himself, though he was not above wicked things as he indicated by getting drunk. He was enticed into the house of a wonaE on Seventh street Monday night, As soon as he got inside the lights were extinguished and he lay down on the bed. He claims the woman then went through his pockets and took all the money he had after which she gave an alarm that called Alvarado to her rescue from his high perch on the sprinkling cart. As Bracamonte was drunk Alvarado easily believed the womans story of how she had been imposed upon, and took the man to jail. The court con sidered that Bracamonte had been punished enough for his drunkenness and discharged him, warning him not to stir up any more trougle in that neighborhood.
