NO, sir; got it in Sacramento" was
the unexpected response.
What You don't mean to say that
you did not drink anything exhilarat-
ing after you left the capital city?" his
honor asked, incredulousiy.
That's what 1 mean 10 say, replied
Mrs. Byron. "A gentleman friend of
mine accompanied me to the depot and
insisted that l take a glass of beer or
+ two before 1 started, because il was a
warm day, you know, and by the time
/ l arrived here l was feeling awfully
queer I guess 1t was the stuffy car
more than the beer that made me dizzy
Train riding always makes me light
headed, even when the weather is cold"

David Nolan's non-appearance to
answer charge of peace disturbance
before Judge Shortall conveyed sur
prise to Patrolmen Savage and Cor
don, whose united strength was re-
quisite TO his subjugation when they
arrested him in Lobos Square. They
could assign no reason other than ill
ness for his forfeiture of the $40 bail
which had obtained his release, and
the idea of him being physically in
capacitated was too absurd for serious
consideration.
His sobriQuet of ''Toughy Nolan"
was explanatory of his bodily endur-
ance. How he stood the wear and tear
Of resisting arrest at least once a
month for the last five years was a
physiological puzzle. Police clubs,
vigorously swung. seemed to have no
more effect on his Uranium than would
water sprinkled upon the back OF a
duck. And the latest drubbing so ad-
ministered 10 him was much less severe
than the gentlest OF its predecessors.
So his accusers were willing to lay
to 1 side cdds that his failure to
appear was not caused by their treat
ment of him. More reasonable would
it be TO presume that he was not suf-
ficiently sober TO remember his appoint
ment in court
Acting on the latter hypothesis. his
Honor issued a bench warrant for Mr..
Nolan's capture.

Crowley, a Southern Pacific freight

Before putting that threat into ex-
ecution you should weigh its conse
quences," said his Honor, booking the
decision While you might get along
all right after resigning, you should
think of the company's convenience as
well as your own"
L don't care was the relentless re-
sponse, delivered with great emphasis.
No yard is big enough to hold Hamill
and me, and the company must look out
for itself"
So saying, Mr.. Crowley returned his
depleted purse to one of his trousers
pockets and with resolute mien depart
ed the tribunal.
Judge Conlan continued until to-
! morrow the case of William J. Barnett.
accused of having disturbed the peace
by addressing to a woman on a Mission
street car an eight-syllabled word
which his demeanor denoted to be Of

him. although he was conversant with

Patrolman d. F. Johnston, who made
the arrest. swore that Mr.. Barnett was
