Marcus Susman's case was called before Justice Goodman yesterday aft ernoon. Susman was charged with having assaulted N. Kazepy with a walking stick, and when he appeared la court h demanded trial by Jury th Inalienable right of every citizen of this great republic. So the court set about to draw a list of six good men and true. E. O'Connor, Al Davis, D. R. Blount and Jacob Jordan were satisfactory to the watchful Susman, but he didn't fancy O, F. Morton. "Please, Mr. Court, dat man Is a re publican, and 1 am a democrat, sir. Stop 'er! J do not want him!" But the protest did not go, and Mr. Mor ton was accepted. John Pentllla was the sixth Juror drawn. Th case will be heard at 2 o'clock this afternoon. At an early hour yesterday morning Anton Roumlet, a well-known fisher man, attempted to commit suicide by drowning, but at the last moment he changed his mind and swam to shore. It Is stated that he had a bad case of young lady on th brain. He has lately had several heart-to-heart con versations with the police because of th fact that h took love-making too seriously. It Is stated that a few days ago the young lady promised to be "hls'n," and that when b called to pay his respects to. her night before last she had changed her mind and took the liberty of telling him so. He rushed from the house to the Kinney wharf, entirely disrobed and burled himself Into th Columbia. The cold water caused him to change bis mind and he swam ashore. He ran home in his nude condition, donned fresh apparel and returned to th wharf for the clothes he had left there. On his way home again he met a policeman and was arrested on suspicion of hav ing stolen the clothes under his arm. Then he told the tale of the momentary Idea of suicide. At this stage of the game his fair young heart's desire ap peared on the scene and shed the peni tent tear, whereupon the wedding day was named. Love may run over bumps in Astoria, but she moves a little nevertheless. A son was born yesterday to Mr. In deep thought, would be suddenly aroused by having his hat knocked off by some unseen power we would raise a mighty yell, rush out from our hiding places, grab hold of him wherever we could find a place and shout for Joy.
