Mrs. Minnie War against Emanuel Skra-
bek and wife. in which Mrs. War OBJ
tanned verdict of Si00 damages in part
> of the city court yesterday, is of inter-
est TO tenants of property in the. present

by her the evening of February 16. 1907,
when she slipped and fell on ice which had
accumulated on the pavement in front of
the house at 733 North Collington avenue.
Her left leg was broken and she claimed
$4,000 damages.
Judge Sharp allowed the case to go to
the jury as the evidence showed that the
ice on the pavement was caused by water
flowing from the yard of the house and
not by the elements. 1t was contended
that negligence of Mr.. and Mrs. Skrabek
caused the ice TO form.

CROWDS in STREETS

Market Proves Most Attractive
ThOr0ughfare on Account of
World Wide Fame

Judging from tho size of the crowds
on the, streets yesterday few of the
visitors to the y/have yet departed
for their homes. All dayslong the rest
less pleasure seeking throngs surged
up and down the streets and overfiowed
into the squares where the band con-
certs were held.
1t was the same good natured crowd
of the, day before, and on ell sides one
heard the remark that the. old, time
light hearted spirit of San Francisco
has again returned to its own.
The sun shone brilliantly and the
stiff breeze which prevailed only served
to refreshen those who had spent the
night before IN jollifcation.
PICNICkERS IN PARKS
The cars running to the beach and
Golden Gate park were janmed from
the time the parade was over until
late in the evening. Every sheltered
nook in the squares was occupied by
couples and family parties, who
brought their lunches and picnicked
there in true country style.
Among the visitors Market street
proved the most attractive thorough
fare on account of it's world wide fame,
and downtown businessmen, who have
not enjoyed a large transient trade
since the fire, profited far beyond their
expectations. The fame of Fillmore
street had evidently spread afar, but
people who had not been here since the
fire were constantly asking to be di-
rected there. The women visitors
seemed to be drawn irresistibly to Van
Ness avenue. and even the masculine
eye was attracted by the captivating
parade of feminine fashion which sue
ceeded the more spectacular affair of
the morning on the great shopping
street.

VINO wanted to cross were permitted to
do so, being held In check until the
