invaded the garden of the McCanns, on
the San Bruno road, and trampled down
or consumed some of the choicest floral
and vegetable treasures therein con-
tanned, 1t was Mrs. Mccain who first
witnessed the work of demolition, When
her horror subsided sufficiently to ner
nit of speech she commanded her To-
year-old son to drive forth the yandal.
and with more alacrity and gleefulness
than usually marked his response to a
maternal mandate the boy, armed with
a stout stick, obeyed. He chased and
belabored the COW until the animal
deeply regretted its imprudent vista
tion.
When the masculine head of the Nc
Cams. baptized Frederick A., returned
from work that evening and was being
regaled by his better half's recountal
OF the COW incident. there appeared in
the doorway the chief or the Katinow-
skys, christened NOtto. with heated re-
quest that Master Mccain be chastised
for his maltreatment of the COW. The en-
suing discussion led to Mr.. McCann's
arrest on Mrs. Katfnowsky's complaint
that he had disturbed her peace, and it
fell to the lot of Police Judge Cabaniss
to hear the testimony
IN loud and strident voice Mrs.
haunoWsky averred that Master Nc
cam had hunted the COW eight CITY
blocks and whacked its hide at the rate
OF Twelve whacks per block, the effect

output of lacteal fluid, also a marked
depreciation of the quality of the same.
Mr. katfnowsky, with a bald head
and horizontap mustache, corroborated
his wtfe's statement, and to 1t added
that Mr.. McCann's language to him was
frightfully profane
Mr. Mccain, who adjured punctla-
tlon, SWore he knew nothing about what
his son did and why he should be ar
rested for what his son was alleged to
nave done was more than he could un-
derstand and he would very much like
to have the court enlighten him on that
point and as to using bad language he
would hate to repeat some of the words
that Mr. katinowsky addressed to him.
Mrs McCann would like to know IL
one was to let strange COW eat up
every blessed thing in ones garden and
not raise ones hand to stop the devas-
tation.
Then the Katinowskys and the Nc
Cams talked in concert at each other
and the Judge, and as a controversial
subject the cow was augmented by the
introduction of horse and a dog. but
when a mule was also mentioned his
Honor abruptly called halt by dismiss
ing the complaint.

The defendant. a stalwart young fell
low with stolid visage, said he enlisted
at ST. Louis eight months ago, and he
had drunk some whisky before he made
himself obnoxious to the women he was
assigned to guard from intrusion. Two
of them, Mrs Wilgrens and Mrs. Lam
ders, both aged, told of how he had
attempted to forcibly enter their re-
spective tents.

whose testimony was corroborated by
that of her two young daughters, "he
