dent Mr.. Machner became excited, and
his descriptive gestures erased much of
the impression of calm dignity origin

by his coat and hat and announcement
of vocation.

The defense claimed that Mr.. Mach
ner disturbed the peace of the auction
mart by indulging in loud and offensive
language and that the alleged assault
was committed by some person other
than the defendant. A decision will be
handed down next Thursday,
Mrs. Lena Johnson, who stole some
articles of trifiing value from one of the
big department stores in which she was
ostensibly shopping wept SO piteously
in court that Judge Fritz fined her only
$40. Her husband, Otto, also shed tears,
and there was moisture in the voice of
the attorney that pleaded for leniency.
1t was her first arrest for stealing and
she earnestly promised to steal no more.
Otto Grandquist and Henry Hendrick-
son, able seamen, commenced their
fistic combat in a water front saloon,
and after their ejectment therefrom By
the bartender they went to the Howard
street wharf and resumed active hostil-
tiles. Patrolman Slattery told Judge
Conlan that it was very neat bit or a
fight, and the faces of the defendants
bore evidence that he told the truth.
1ney were II6Q 30 dplSCS.
Mrs. Tomley Of s63 Hayes street won
dered why James Lewis had neglected
10 send her Yuletide gift, as had been
his wont for many years, until she as
certained that a package of Jewelry
forwarded to her was received at her
door by Charles Eisley, former mes
own use. He falsely represented him
self to be a brother of the lady to whom
the present was addressed. Judge Ca
baniss gave him sixty days.
Six young fellows were arraigned
before Judge Mogan on the charge
of burglary, filed by Patrolmen O'Con-
nor and Blick, neither of whom ap-
peared to prosecute. The defendants
however, were permitted to tell how
it came to pass, and their story made
even Bailiff Mahoney laugh.
They boarded the roof of freight
car at San Jose with intent to steal
a ride to this city, but had not been
there long ere the chilling wind
treat So at the trains first stopping
place they descended from their perch
and entered a car, carefully fastened
the door and prepared to spend the
remainder of their journey in COM
parative comfort. No sooner had the
train started, however, tIdfl tlGy us
covered they were inmates of re-
frigerator car, and 1t was only by
dancing to prevent their blood freez-
iIsg that they were enabled to reach
San Francisco alive, as the train did
not again stop until it rolled into the
yard at Third and Townsend streets.
So great was their hurry to get out
that they threw caution to the winds,
and that's how they came to be ar
rested.
His Honor continued the hearing
until to-day.
Dennis Feeley's facial cuticle was of
purplish hue and his side whiskers
showed signs of recent rough handling
as he stood before Judge Fritz and
announced his readiness to stand trial
on the charge of assault with a dead
ly weapon, to-wit, knife, on the per-
son of an unknown man who did not
appear to substantiate the arresting
policeman's complaint. It was at San
Bruno avenue and Army street that
Mr.. Feeleys countenance was bat
tered. and his plea was self-defense.
The case went over for one week.
Mary Smith and Emma Anderson
were accused of purchasing racing
