San Francisco, July S.-Mayor Eu.
gene +. Schmitz, convicted Of eXtor-

five years in the penitentiary. When
the sentence was S,onounoed there
was a remarkable outburst Of applause
from the hundreds of persons who
crowded Judge DUNES courtroom.
AS the last words of the sentence
fell from the judges lips the great
crowd that had stood during the dra-
matte scene sent up a thunderous
cheer

was echoed and re-echoed by one

others scrambled upon chairs to look

greatest confusion prevailed. Attor-

voice above the din, called out to

spirit, IF we had sheriff worthy Of
