Cat Goes After Birds and Catches
Tartars Instead.

Los Angeles. May 6.-Treed by a
great flock Of angry little sparrows, a

birds fought IL back with their sharp
beaks. anc the rescuers had TO beat on
the spiteful sparrows before they could
reach the cat.

TWO JURORS ASSERT

The members Of the jury took no
ballots. and il seemed TO be their
unanimous opinion as soon as they
retired that the four former inspec-
tors were guilty. according to Juror
IL. John w. irvine. a travelling
salesman. Of No. 523 West 107tn
street. Mr.. Irvine and Juror 3.
Clayton r. OIena, public account
ant. of No. 612 West 194th street,
arrived home together.
They spoke of the agreement that

Louis Baumgold OF No. - West

Hoboken. and held for examination
this morning on charge OF smuggling.
Ii is said he failed 10 declare diamonds

steamer and on the pier, during the ex-
animation OF his baggage.
Baumgold was accompanied by Ralph
Elbaum and Mrs. Edith Elbaum. OF
Berlin. in whose company he had con-
stantly been on the trip across the

made no mention OF any jewelry. He
