BUNCH OF TROUBLE
 IN POLICE COURT
More Uuhappiness Than Usual Among
 the Bad Element.

There was quite a grist of unhap- was disposed of by Recorder Thomas. A. Beltran and a Mexican were arrest ed the day before by Officer Moore for fighting and were both released on bonds which were forfeited yester- day by their appearance in court. The trouble between the two men had all the necessary requisites for a homicide if the officer had not inter- fered. The men were in the neighbor- l hood of the flour mill east of the red light district when they began quar- reIing. On mixing Beltran fell un- derneath and he requested his antago- mist as politely as he could under the circumstances not to hit him while he was down. The Mexican granted the request and when Beltran re- gained his feet he made a charge on his opponent. This was parried bV the Mexican, who presented six shooter in a way that made Beltran hesitate Then the Mexican put the gun in his shirt front and Beltran charged again. This time the Mexi- can drew d dagger from his hip pocket About that time the officer
 
 them both into custody, keeping them in jail until Sunday evening when their bonds were accepted.
 But that was not all of Beltran's trouble While he was in jail his father appeared and desired to get him out of the calaboose, but he was too drunk to be turned loose. The elder Beltran then went away and began submerging his grief in the flowing bowl By the time the young man got out of jail his father had been dragged into the county jail for drunkenness by a constable and the young man felt it to be his filial duty to return the compliment to his father. However. he found the old man too drunk to be released so he had to lay around until yesterday.
 John LucerO. who was arrested Sun day for drunkenness, was jailed for seven days, five for the present of fense and two days for an old fine he had escaped paying in full.
 Jane Doe was arrested Sunday for maintaining a questionable resort and yesterday she was found guilty and fined SIS. J. Edwards, arrested for lettering around the premises of Jane Doe forfeited s25 cash bail he had de- posted when arrested.
 There was one other case. that of Ramon Acosta, more or less known to fame. He had been arrested for drunkenness and released on a cash bond of S5. He declares he was not drunk and employed an attorney to defend him. The attorney advised that he forfeit the bond and let it go at that but at court time he showed up and wanted to fight the case. H. brought along his little boy to prove that he had not been drunk. The court told him he could fight it if he wanted to and he would postpone the trial a day to give him a chance but he finally decided to plead guilty and take his medicine. which was s5, the
