FRESH YOUTH FINED.
Threatened To Arrest Young Women
for Matching Nickeis.

Attracted by the unusual spectacle
of two well-dressed young women, sit
ing on the curb on High-st. west, and
matching nickels, William O'Brien, an
1S-year-old youth. allowed himself to
get into trouble which led to the early
session of police court, and IS fine.
Thursday morning.
O'Brien was one of a crowd which
gathered around Miss Ray, of No. q
Sibley-st., and another young woman
who were engaged in an exciting
matchmaking contest on the curb.
The crowd cheered them on, I'M
abashed by the frigid statement that
the young women were merely match
ing for the ice-cream sodas, and when
the fair gamesters left the crowd fol-
lowed. nthe van was O'Brien, who
thought the affair a huge joke. When
the women sought refuge In Miss
Rays home, he waited moment. and
then marched up to the door. repre-
senting himself as a special detective.
I've come to raid this place as
gambling den," he announced. II was
alleged at his hearing.
Whereupon, the real police were
called, and the festive young Mr..
O'Brien was pinched

Police Taking No Chances With Al
legged Murderer.

Court officers are taking no chances
with Charles Connors, alias Clark,
whose second trial on the charge Of
numbering Horton Warren, in the fall
of 1902, was begun before Judge Pho
Ian, Thursday morning. Every time
Clark is brought into court from the
Jail he is carefully searched for
weapons. Connors has many friends
OF his ilk, outside, and the officers are
afraid that some OF them might try 20
slip him a gun or other weapon un'
awares. With a revolver he could
easily start a scene In the court room
and perhaps get away in the excite
ment He is regarded as one of the
most desperate men who ever faced
trial.
The work of securing a jury to try
Connors. or Clark. as he is better
known, occupied all Thursday fore
noon and there was no immediate
prospect of securing one when the
noon adjournment was taken. Clark
is represented by Attorneys Felix
Deutsch and James S. Doyle. Prose
cutor Van Zile personally appears for
the people.

way Up to a short time ago. the
bride attended the Detroit Home and
Day School, while the young man is
is engaged as cashier for Noble a. Co.,
stock brokers.
When the girl told her parents about
her secret marriage, they were much
upset about it. but decided TO make
the best of the matter.
I'VE hadn't the slightest objection
to the young man, and in fact, we had
always considered him as one of the
family. he had been coming TO the
house so long," said Mr.. Strasburg
Thursday. We were neighbors and
both Muriel and Junior as we called
him had played together since they
were youngsters. or course, they are
little more than childre now, and Meth
er Mrs. Strasburg nor myself would
have objected had they waited until
they were a little older. Junior Is "A
fine fellow, but Is is pretty young to
start married life.
However. as long as they are mar
ried. both Mr.. Trump and myself Will
see to 1t that they are well taken care
Of"
When asked If she wasn't fearful of
being married Feb. Is, the pretty
bride laughed and said she wasn't su-
perstitious. The couple now regret
that they caused their parents the
worry they have, and declare they
didn't fully consider the matter or
they wouldn't have eloped to Windsor,
but would have been married in the
conventional way.
The couple will live with the brides
parents for the present, at least.

CHANGES AT THE BORDER

A move is on foot to change the customs service guard station at Mex icali from the angle now occupied, between the canal and the Inter-Cali- rornia Railroad, to 8 point about two blocks east. The objection to the present location is that whenever a team is stopped by the guards it necessitates stopping almost upon the railroad tracks, and with the coming operation of the road, it is feared ac- cidents will result. As the American Customs House is almost opposite this guard station on the Mexican side, it is probable that a new location will be sought for 1t, on land about op- poslte the new guard station.
