the peace Of the baths. that after you
entered the natatorium. where intoxi-
cants are not proeurable for either love
or money, YOU developed a most spec
tacular jag?"
'It was the high atmosphe. ic temper
ature, operating. on and In conjunction
with the beer / had consumed, that up
set my balance. Mr.. Bell readily ex-
planned $50 long as ] breathed the outer
ozone my faculties were clear as crystal
and my legs perfectly controllable. but no
sooner did enter the steam-laden air OF
the baths than both brain and limbs went
awry. The transition was too abrupt"
Your plea is logical" quoth the court
''and as the complainant is not pressing
for punishment I'll dismiss the case"
Special Officer Lean. on duty at the
baths, averred that the first he saw of
Mr.. Bell was sturdy figure attired in
regulation bathing costume, staggering
and sprawling as 1t tried to navigate the
sloppy and slippery route, from the dress
ing rooms to the swimming tanks, while
many. spectators shouted encourag ging
words Mr.. Bells feet were oftener sole
upward than upon the planks, for every
time he would slip and fail and. rise it
was only to slip and fall again. What
ever progress he made was mostly on his
back 1t was as much for the mans own
welfare as with desire. to punish him that
his arrest was effected, and then the
rules and regulations for the preserva-
ton of decorum in the finest bathing es-
tablishment on earth had to be enforced
Herman A. Kellum, accuseds of disturb
ing the peace of the young mother of his
three-year- old illegitimate child, professed
willingness to marry the woman, but she
respectfully declined.
Whats the use of marrying him?" she
asked Judge Mogan., I'VE would be fight
ing all the. time and if 4 were his wife
couldn't leave him ands-.ve weth my sis
ter as l am now doing.
But you should think of your child's
future his Honor suggested. IF you
are willing / will take you and the de-
fendant into my chambers and make you
husband and wife in very few minutes"
II don't want to marry him." she re-
iterated, but wish you'd make him
support the child
Il shall do nothing of the kind" was
the reply.
Then the defendant was allowed to go
on probation. He is postoffice clerk and
was arrested on complaint of Carlotta
Rodiig of 1908 Mission street, sister
of the obdurate young mater.
Leslie Stern. a medical student, and
Frank Day. a bookkeeper, were intoxi-
ors to the cafe at the Chutes when
special policeman arrested them. They
had detached descriptive signboards
from some of the geological attractions
at the great popular resort and attached
them to each others persons, Mr.. Stern
being embellished with painted notifl-
cation that he was the only. full-grown
Australian wallaby in captivity. while
Mr.. Days decoration conveyed the in
telligence that he belonged to the SIM
ian family. Judge Conlan dismissed
them with a repriInand.
John Smith and William Williams
also disturbed the peace Of the Chutes
patrons and Judge Mogan pronounced
them guilty as charged They were in
the big theater,. and while stage artist
was giving vocal limitations of various
birds and beasts, they did divers things
with intent to queer his act" When he
piped Ia canary they crowed like roos-
ters. and when he roared as untamed
lions they yelped as yellow dog yelps
when he has been kicked. They will
be sentenced this morning.
Napoleon Bonaparte Deslong, claim
ing direct descent from the great little
Corsican, denied the accusation of va
grancy filed against him by Patrolman
Teutenberg and averred he was an hon
orably discharged soldier of the Union
and the recipient of a pension sufficient
to defray his living expenses.
III that is the TRUTH said Judge Ca
baniss. this day is not your Waterloo.
Your arrest by Mr.. Teutenberg is not
remarkable. however, when his name
and yours are taken into consideration
together. Not until the lion and the
lamb hobnob shall Teuton and GauI af-
filiate. Case dismissed
