to the theater, the masher was standing
in front of an express office.at 404 O'Far-
rell street, and as we passed him he ut
tered an offensive remark. He had done
the same thing several times before, so
thought it was about time to stop him"
And then you chucked him?"
''Yes. sir; 1 just turned around, picked
him up and threw him into the window"
You did what was perfectly right"
the bench commended, 'and if you could
have chucked him through a sky scraper
skylight instead Of a first-hoor window
he woud have been properly served
Miss Sanchez looked as If the feat sug-

While the recent primary election was
progressing in a booth at Sacramento and
Laurel streets Wallace Bradford became
engaged in an altercation with Frank A
Maestretti, president of the Board of
Public Works, and so foul were some of
the epithets voiced by Mr.. Bradford that
he was arrested for peace disturbance.
In the court Of Judge Fritz the defend
ant expressed contrition and declared
eagerness to apologize to Mr. Maestretti,
so the case was continued till next Mon
day.
AL Lean, whose saloon is at 1854 Mar
ket street, was plunged into profound
gloom by the mysterious disappearance
of his fox terrier, nor did he again dis
play buoyancy of spirit until the animal
had been recovered and Fred Rankin, an
advertisement man, was under arrest for
having purloined it.
Mr. Rankin told Judge Fritz that never
did dog have better time than he gave
Al Leans foxterrier. And that assertion
was made advisedly, as he was fully
cognizant of the coddlng that Mr. Lean
had bestowed on the animal From the
moment the dog came into his possession
until it was taken from him its tail was
awag with contentment. His business
compelled him to visit places where in
toxicating liquors are retailed, and dur

permitted to partake of the choicest
viands upon the free lunch tables Mr. |

Mrs. Sadie Hoffman was unsparing in
her denunciation of the quality of food
served to persons confined in the City
Prison.

Judge Fritz, 'is a French cook, and

Mr. Hoffman corroborated her state ,
ments as to his relationship, his vocation
and the daintiness of her matutinal
meals, so the charge of vagrancy against
her was dismissed. She dwells on the
first block of Mason street.
When she heard that George Fisher
had suddenly departed this sphere Miss
Ruby Wilson wept copiously in her hand

possessed her esteem for more years than
she cared to confess having lived. She
