 A HAT EPISODE.-An officer yes terday brought John Doe and Rich ard Roe, d couple of young Mexicans. before the city marshall. He had found them in a state of beligera ncy, the scrap being over a hat. which Richard Roe claimed was a fine Stetson that he had bought at GOldberg's. Doe alleged that the hat had been taken from him during a free for all fight sometime ago, that he had caught the other man wearing it and had replevined it by the force of his good right arm. He said he did not care anything about the hat as he had since bought anoth- CT one but that it was his. he had bought it at the Boston store and as a matter of principle he proposed to take il away from Roe The marshal told him he could not settle. that dis pute but told Roe he could go to a justice court and begin action for it's return if he wanted to. Incidentally he held up Doe. who had the hat. for a dollar he owed on an old fine he promised to pay for a friend. He failed 10 get the dollar but got a re- newal of the promise. which is the net result of the hat episode to date ex- cept that Roe when last seen was still bareheaded and grief-stricken.
