The San Francisco call., 1906-07-03

quested Mr.. Mann to remove from it
an unsightly box he was treated with
contumely and threatened.
! David Rosenberg swore that he saw
1 Mr.. Mcnamara, after that person had
given his alleged realistic imitation of
catastrophe, standing upon the lot
with brick in his hand and blood
in his eye"
| Hearing continued thirty days to
afford the belligerents time to talk it
| over
| Il was taking a sand bath FIR me
rheumatics," pleaded John Walsh, who
was groveling when a policeman ar
rested him in vacant lot in the West
ern Addition last Sunday afternoon.
There's nuthin'." he went to
plead, that takes the rheumatics out NV
man like lynn on tn sand when tn
suns shinin' bright an warm"
But the policeman had averred drunk
enness, and when reminded by Judge
Mogan of that averment Mr.. Walsh
said: It's mistaken he was. If I'd
bin drunk | wouldn't hev had sense
enough t take tn sand bath f'r me
rheumatics.'
"have you ever tried the perspiration
remedy for rheumatism?"
Il have not" was the reply.
We'll, I'll prescribe it for you, and
the officer who has charge of the mu-
nicipal brick pile will doubtless see
that it is properly applied. Twelve
hours of it may make new man of
you
Mr.. Walsh did not seem to be exalted
by the prescription.
When arraigned for drunkenness
George d. Rowland hinted he was pos
sessed of vast wealth and that the
property clerk downstairs had ii in
custody, whereupon Judge Cabaniss
rubbed his hands gleefully and re-
marked that it was refreshing to him
to be confronted by defendant of con-
fessed opulence.
For" said his Honor, ''the munich
pal treasury needs all the money it can
legitimately get. and l am pleased to
be able to help it out. You don't know
just how much cash you have on de-
posit Mr.. Rowland, do you?"
No. Mr. Rowland did not.
Well, we can soon find out by send
ing the bailiff to interview the prop
erty clerk said the court.
When the bailiff returned with the
announcement that As cents was the
sole amount of money taken from Mr..
Rowland's person by the booking ser
geant the Judge sighed heavily and
said:
I'm sentencing you to forty-eight
hours toll without recompense / desire
to have it plainly understood that l am
not actuated by resentment of the de-
ception you have practiced on me-"
We'll, l had more money than that
when / started back from Oakland"
Mr.. Rowland muttered, glancing sus-
piciously at the bailiff.
About how much did you have?"
that functionary inquired.
AT least dollar and a half" was
the reply
Patrolman ]. T. Gallagher testified
that he found Walter Kruth PROSTATE
and inert at Twenty-ninth and Mission
streets last Sunday afternoon and was
somewhat alarmed to see that his head
was damaged and he was minus a leg
Relief was conveyed to the officers
mind, however, by the sight of an
artificial neither limb stuck upright in
the sand about half dozen yards
from where it's ostensible owner lay.
With much difficulty he fastened the
inanimate substitute to the equally
inanimate man and then arrested the
latter and booked him for drunken
ness.
What happened to your head?" in
quired Judge Conlan when Mr.. Kruth,
only portion of whose face was un-
bandaged, appeared for examination.
Don't know for sure was the re-
ply, delivered between clenched teeth
and from one side of the mouth, but
guess whoever did it used the leg
for wopping."
AS the physical punishment to which
he had been subjected more than amply
compensated Justice for his intoxica-
ton an order Of dismissal was issued.
