outfit as 1t passed him on Sherwood
place, blind alley shooting from
Third street and between Howard and
Mission.
That chap is 10 poor but proud
paterfamilias giving his last-born an
airing" quoth the officer to himself,
for although paternal fondness oft is
akin to economic foolishness, 1 doubt
that any papa, even in the first flush
OF fatherhood, would be so absolutely
asinine as to provide his idol with
such a costly conveyance and be con-
tent to walk upon his uppers. More
over, the buggy is empty"
Thus it came that Mr.. Rice was ac-
costed with demand that he explain
his possession of the buggy. His story
was so f1imsy that the policeman
laughed it to scorn and placed him
Under arrest. Mr.. Rice resolutely de-
clined to accompany his captor, and as
the latter could not manage the pris-
oner with one hand and the plunder
with the other he was forced to dump
the man into the vehicle and trundle
him to the nearest police station.
Mr.. Rice enjoyed his ride.
The baby carriage was stolen from
ISL Third street, secondhand fur
niture store owned by A. Feig. Judge
Mogan found a prior conviction for
petty larceny against Mr.. Rice and
sentenced him to thirty days \ i'm
prisonment.
Edward Walsh and Harry Craig,
charged with robbery. were sent to the
Superior Court by Judge Conlan. 1t
was shown that while they were at
tempting to steal a barrel of whisky
from the rear of James Hoods saloon,
at Twenty-fourth and Noe streets,
fvia fn MT q
robbery and was set upon by both
men and beaten. When the saloon
keeper, attracted by the noise of the
scuffle, went to the back door he re-
ceived a blow on the head that stunned
him. Then the men entered the saloon
and rifled the cash register. They
were arrested by Detective Graham
and Patrolmen Cole and harrison.
Davorien was SO badly beaten that he
was taken to the City and County
Hospital for treatment.
Max Hyman, proprietor of a grog-
gerry within the prescribed district ad-
joining the Presidio, made repeated
endeavor to get back a portion Of the
500 bail which he deposited to secure
the appearance of H. o. Bebbel, his
bartender before Judge Mogan. Mr..
Bebbel was arrested for selling liquor
without a license, and soon after his
release on bail he disappeared. When
he failed to appear in court his bail
was ordered forfeited, whereupon Mr..
Hyman's importantly began. He first
implored the Judge to return him $50,
then he offered to be content with $40,
then he dropped to $50, to $40, to SIS,
and probably would have descended to
S., if the court had not adjourned
while he was still frantically figuring.
He will have opportunity to reopen
his crusade tomorrow, however, the
Judge having considerably postponed
final Judgment till then.
Antoine Vosger pleaded that 1t was
in Jest he passed 500 Confederate
and served by Frank Judnic, barten-
der in the saloon of Andrew Judnic, at
461 Fourth street. After receiving
about S99 so in change for his spurious
currency, Mr.. Vosger remained in the
saloon and freely spent money until
the proprietor arrived and discovered
that the bill was bogus, and the fact
of his staying there instead of depart
ing with his gains was urged by the
attorney for the defense as evidence
that there was no serious intention to
defraud.
BESIDES" argued the young legal
light. this defendant resides in Ala
media where the passing of Confeder-
ate currency is of common occurrence,
probably because the people over there
do not know that the civil was is over"
The case was continued till next Fri
day.
For peddling lingerie without Ii
cense Fon Lee was arrested in the
Western Addition, an1 in lieu of ap-
pearing in person to answer the
charge before Judge Mogan he sent
q note, evidently written by Cau-
casian scribe, which was as follows:
Fon Lee, the chink that was copped for
peddling underwear, let's his $40 bail go. He
says he has a license, but his at JacA
san ard Stockton streets is using 1t. If lie
Is copped again you should also cop mis- cousin
The bail was ordered forfeited.
Seventeen-year-old Emma Odd was
yearning for stage honors when she
abandoned her home, 1863 Brown

sition as leading woman she gradually
descended to expressing readiness to
