them.
In the hands of the deputies of Con-
stable Ben Cohn is a judgment and an
order of ejectment which would nave
been served before now had it not been
for the pity of the officers, but IT must
be served this morning unless some
kindly hand stays proceedings.
One T.. +. Byng is behind the pro-
ceedings for eiectment.
According to all reports, Gehrman,
who is "a carpenter. and his Wife who
does janitor work, bought the Tanning
street home and saved enough to pay
$4,000 on the property. Then came
hard times and they could not meet
the payments. A genial soul APP
peared on the scene and suggested
that as they We're about to lose the
house anyway they had better trade
their equity to him for valuable prop
erty i'm Indiana and thus protect their
earnings. This they did.
Then they wrote to Indiana ana
found that the property for which they
had surrendered their $500 hard
earned money was worth only $lGO.
They still lived in their old home
and paid rent to their new landlord
Recently they fell behind one month IN

Jacobs Bond with the composer at the
piano. These bits of music are unique
in that they adhere to no rule of form
and follow no preconceived notion of
what is expected in the way of musical
structure, yet each is perfect. They are
like cameos-clear cut miniatures
that express the most dainty sentl-
ment.
1t was a work of love on Mrs. Bonds
part to play for Mr.. Dupuy, for, as she
says, "There is no other tenor l have
heard who can catch tire sentiment, has
the beauty of voice and temperament
to do my songs as Mr.. Dupuy cam"
Mrs. Bond has but a few days ago
returned from Honolulu and delayed
her departure for the east particularly
to assist last night. she words of many
of the songs also are her own.
The first part of the program was
made up of songs in German. French,
Italian and English, with William Ed
son Strobridge at the piano. These
were mostly request numbers and are
the best liked solos Mr.. Dupuy has
been singing for years. The full pro-
gram was as follows:

At the close of the program a re-
quest came forward for Mrs. Bond to
sing and she most kindly added three
of her own compositions, prefacing
them with a few remarks concerning
her work. She wished the impression
corrected that she composed only
chldren's songs, for much of her best
work is cast in larger form, and rather
pretentious, though it is for her
smaller songs she is best known and
loved.

Damages

An alleged false imprisonment, a
quantity of missing furniture and a
large bunch of mangled feelings kept
Judge Charles Monroe busy all day yes
terday in department SIX of the SUI
perior court, and promise to give him
room for thought today.
The case is that of Bertha Belle Rhein-
hart, sometime known as Mrs w. II.
Heap. who is suing Miss Marian l.
Chidsey for $685. for false imprison-
ment The plaintiff is being repre-
scented by Attorneys Hester and Clai-
bourne, and the defendant by Attorney

complaint of petty larceny. filed by
Miss Chidsey, before Justice w. S.
Brayton, July q, 1907. She was arrest
ed In Los Angeles, taken to Long Beach
and kept in durance vile twenty-four
hours Then she was released on $40
bail. Here enter the mangled suscepti-
bilities.
August IA, 1907, she was tried and
found not guilty. Later on came the
suit for damages, the young wife, who
has been deserted by her husband, de-
claring she had suffered mental and
nervous anguish of much value and
had lost many friends.
When called to the witness stand Miss
Chidsey declared she knew Mrs. Rhein-
hart only indirectly and that therefore
there could be no malice. She had rent
ed a. cottage at Alamitos to Mrs. Rhein-
hart, whom she knew as Mrs: Heap,
and that the cottage was furnished at
the time with a bed mattress and
bedding, a cook stove, cutlery, dishes
and chairs. That she was informed by

moved suddenly and that, when. she
reached her property, all the furniture
that was left was cook stove. table
and one chair. Then she sWore to the
complaint. There will be further evil

Nathan Cole Returns
Nathan Cole, jr., returned from the
north yesterday with the latest politi-
cal data from the bay city.
my trip north primarily was on
business connected with the sugar fac
tories at Visalia and Corcoran." said
Mr.. Cole yesterday, land had no polit-
zeal Significance.
MY guiding principle in this cam
paign has been to foster as much as l
could the sending of delegates favor
able to Bryan for president and the
instructing of delegations to that effect.
Il feel now that this has been fully
determined.
MY own fight for delegate at large
leads me to believe that harmony will
prevail and that only Democrats will
be sent to Denver who will be truly
Democratic and representatives free
from corporation and boss control.
"While i'm San Francisco with Mayor
Harper we met both factions of the
party there. There is a friendly scrap
on. but both seem to be laboriug for
the same ends-thc nomination and
election of Bryan and the success of
the Democratic party in California.
Vote with Regulars
"As near as l can determine from
reports | get the Los Angeles delega-
ton will vote almost solidly with the
regulars.
1--WE expect to stand by the regulars
and the caucuses.'
Mir. Cole says the Southern Pacific
will make a night rate of $1l for the
round trip to Fresno during the con-
vention.
The Los Angeles delegation has en-
gagged a special sleeper for the IL: SO
o'clock train, leaving Los Angeles next
Saturday night. All that can will be
done by the committee toward sharing
accommodations. Southern delegates

A SURPRISED Deputy.

A number of years ago the United
States marshal of western Pennsyl-
vania sent a warrant to one of his
deputies, who was stationed in a back
county, for the arrest of a counterfeit
err. The deputy knew the man and
treated him considerably. When they
reached Pittsburg the necessary papers
were not at hand to commit the prison
er to Jail. The deputy would not take
him to hotel, because he would have
to pay the bill out Of his own pocket.
So he took him to the marshaPs office
to pass the night there. The deputy
was sleepy and the counterfeiter said
he was. So the deputy handcuffed his
prisoner to himself and lay down on
the floor beside the steam register As
soon as the deputy was asleep the
counterfeiter took his keys from his
pocket, unlocked the manacle and fas-
tened the loose end to the register
Then he took the deputy's watch and
what money he had and departed
Where is your prisoner" asked the
marshal the next morning, awakening
the deputy.
Doesn't that beat allT' he replied
as he tugged at his handcuff and
bruised his wrist. "Darned If I don't
believe he's gi' noe the slip."
