 NJ. Hackney, the man arrested Wed nesGay evening for attempting to se- cure a watch at the Copper Queen store through forgery, will be arraign- ed at 2 o'ctrclI this afternoon in tue Court of Justice Mcdonald. Attorney Baker has. peer retained by Hackney. Mir. Baker came before the court yes terday and stated that reading of the complaint to the prisoner would be dispensed with by the defense if the court did not obJect. There was no objection. and time for the hearing was accordingly immediately set. Hackney has not been in the city long. He claims to have wite and chr dren who are dependent upon him. The watch he attempted to secure at the store was valued at $14. The named he used was that of E. Daley, sn employe of the Copper Queen O., whose account was good tor considera- hiy over the amount that Hackney at tempted to work it for.
 Francisco Jiminez, the Mexican who attempted 10 steal household gooUs on Chihuahua hill Monday, and who was later bound over to the grand jury, maoe a startiingly bold escape trrIn the county jail wednesday night. Jim ilez went through the roof, thereby proving that there is not pointt or Jne Jau that is not vulnerable to prs eners who may have liberty from the proving that there is not a point of Che ceiis, and wlth case hnite that he had found cut through the inch board oelllng and pOked his way through the tar paper roofing on top of the boards. Once out on the roof he took the rope rom the flag staff and going to the rear wall lowered himself comfort ably to the ground. All of this time CoEstabIe Jack White was seated in the Jafl awaiting arrival of a woman who lad been sent for by Hackney, who is under arrest on charge of forgery. When the officer took the woman to Hackney's cell he was in formed of the escape of JimineZ, who he had intended putting in cell as soon as the woman arrived. JimineZ was never in serious trouble in the city, but he has been considered by the officers for some time 10 be a dangerous character. There is no doubt that since his escape he has fled into Mexico, and il is felt that perhaps the community IS better off through heing permanently rld of him than it would have been had he remained to put the county to expense of trying bss case.
 A case that was not lacking in the humorous was before Justice Murphy yesterday, when John Gibbs was ar raigned on a charge of disturbing the peace. The charge was brought by P. F. Mearoetti, proprietor of the Lafayette House. The ground for the charge was the fact that Gibbs mades loud and unusual noises and much disturbance" when he upset d lamp at the Lafayette last Sunday morning and set the house on fire. Proprietor Mearoetti could not see that the noises were justified, for some reason. contelding that Gibbs had worked him much damage, though it was not apparent to the court that Gibbs had done more than any sane man would have been expected to do in case of fire occurring in his room. The court consequently dismissed Gibbs. From later talk made by the lodging house proprietor it appeared that what he was trying to get at was damages for the harm done the room that the fire was in, he attribat ing the damage to carelessness on the part of Gibbs. He was advised tha. he would Have to bring civil action against his lodger to get damages
