robbed of a pocket case tilled with sur-

presented it to him yesterday. It is the
case which was found in possession of a

lieving that she had prevaricated gave
her four years instead of two.

Smothered to Death.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Holman re-
siding at No. 23 San Pedro avenue awoke
and found her baby child cold in death.
She was horrified at the sight. Dr. Clif-
ford was summoned and pronounced the
cause of death to be suffocation. It Is
probable that Mrs. Holman had laid upon
the little one while in her sleep.
He Was Disorderly.
Last night a young German boy enter-
ed a chili restanrant on Alamo plaza and
ordered a supper. It was served and then
he proceeded to raise a row over the way
his eggs were cooked. He grossly in-
sulted the waitress and an officer was
called. The boy subsided and left.
