IN POLICE COURT
Judge Anderson Disposes of Many
Christmaj Cases
NEGRO VERSUS CHINAMAN
Charle Patten, Colored, Eati Go Mun'i
Noodle and refaaei to Pay for Them
Fight Eniutt, ia Whick the Metro
ia Laid Out.
A ttriking demonstration that a
n-gro' head U not alway bard enough
to withstand tlie impa-t of a five-pound
tthk of woid, weilded vigorously by
the. muacular arm of a wild-eyed ton
of Heaven, wa afforAfd th police and
the public in general, Monday after
noon, when Go Mun, proprietor of a
noodle Joint on Bond street, bad oe
cation to chatie Cliarlea ratten, at
gentleman of the 'ebony hued variety
for eating of hi noodle, and then re
fusing to pay for hi meal.
Patten, and be of the almond eyet,
were ' before Judge Anderson in police
ctriirt yesterday - afternoon, and by
meana of an Interpreter, Go Mun man
aged to tell enough of hi aide of the
ttory to induce the Judge to present
Patten with a Christ ma gilt of ten
tbiyt in the shadow of the bar.
A'Tording to the. tain of Go Mun, Pat
ten lml wanderod into the noodla cafe
with a Christma "jag" on, and ordered
l-.ttl of the "long white." He ate,
and then started to leave without
handing over the unal fee. When
preMl for the change, ratten grew
angry that a "chink" ahould have the
presumption to ask him for money, and
brubed bim aside with some force. Go
Mun would not be denied however and
ruhed to a clinch, whereupon the in
evitable raror of the colored gentle-
mon flashed forth. There wa nothing
doing for Charles in this line, for be.
fore be could get action, Go Mun felled
him with a heavy blow on tho bead
from a stick of wood that lay bandy.
It was all over then but the shouting,
for the noise had attracted two of the
city' guarduins of the peace, who
promptly carted tlie prostrate and
senseless form of Charles Patten to the
ritv jail where yMerdar he pleaded
guilty to being drunk and disorderly,
and received tlie generout sentence of
ten daya.
Lying on a cot in the city jail; with
a sprained ankle, and hi face and bead
a mas of cut and bruites, James Scott
ia beginning - to realize the depth to
which be bat fallen through hi over
indulgence in liquor.
There were teart of repentence In
Scoft'e eye yesterday afternoon when
Judge Anderson convened court in bis
cell that he might hear hit case, Scott
was beaten up so badly tbat ha could
not appoar in the court room, and to in
order that be might receive justice, the
judge listened to the case in the man'
cell.
"I must plead guilty your honor,"
said Scott, "it was lne who started the
fight, and I guest I deserved what I
got, I come from Scotland, and this li
the fin-t time I ever spent Christmas
in jail."
"Yes," said Judge Anderson, "I
wonder what your old mother would
thiuk if ho could see you now!"-
This was too much for the already
wounded feelings of Scott, and he
biiiko down, and wept. A ten-day
sentence was impWd on him, and the
judge advised tlie chief of police to
have him removed to the hospital at
w.n n D.w.ii.1. ivs h& could occur
the proper medical attendance.
Anilrew Tlandcr, with whom Scott
had hi mixup," presented hardly a bet
ter tight, when he greeted the police
court to listen to hi doom. Hit face
wa badly cut in teveral place and
both eye were black and swelled shut.
Ha pleaded guilty to fighting and wat
fined $211, which tot having, ho will
remain in jail for ten daya.
John Chevalier, for drinking loo
much, wa arretted and yesterday
afternoon fined by Judge Anderwon the
turn of $3, execution of the sentence
being suspended during hi future good
behavior.
Carl ChrWenton. who wa arrested
on Aator street Christma day in a
drunken condition and released on bail
of $3, did not appear for trial, and for
felted hi money.
John Doe and Richard Roe, two in
dividual imbibing too large a quantity
of Chrifttmas liquor, contributed ten
dollars each into Ua city treasury, as
bail which they forfeited by their non
appearance in court yesterday after
noon for trial.

Redmea Celebrate. Aa enjoyabte
Christma celebration wa held Christ
mas night iu the lodge ball by Con-
coraly THIh, No. 7, of the Order of
Kedmen. About 250 person were pres
ent to take in the Chrbtmaa tree and
have a jolly good time. The children
all received gift, and the lodge mem
ber were each presented with an em-
blm of th order. Refrethmnts of a
delicious nature were served in the
basement.
Gift Worth Having.--Among other
uumerou and appreciated Chrktmat
gift howered on Vncle Charley
Wright, the genial boniface of the Hotel
Occident, was one from Well's River,
In far Vermont, hit native place, that
for real, unique interest, aurpatse any
thing that ha been reported at thl
office. It reached him on Christmas
day in good" season, and was nothing
more, nor le, than a baby' under
thirt about seven inches long and show--ine
soma faint sign of wear, but re
vealing the further atributea of a
mother's loving and tender care of a
precious relic. It wa bis own, the first
little shirt he ever wors wa placed on
hU own baby form) seventy-five years
aim, when he didn't -Inow so much
about men and things a he doe now.
The sift, odd, ind ,uggcstive, i dctply
appreciated by Mr. Wright and ha
awakened more and hRppier memories
than anything that could have been
sent him. He will take inestimable
care of the funny little garment, and
obey to the kttcr, the instruction of
the donor, to pat it along to hi first
grarHcldld. 'Like soimt other conjec
tural matters, he must first catch the
grandchild, a quet in which be is not
entirely hopeless.
Mr. Strumeyer's Burglar. In the
dark and dismal post-midnight hours
of yesterday, the homo of Kd Strun
meyer, at 520 Franklin avenue was in
valid by burglar. He wa aroused by
certain aounda of a turreptitiou na
ture, such a the careful opening of a
window, the easy opening of chamber
doom, and the faint, yet unmistakable
foot falls of the prowling and predatory
visitor. He arose in hi wrath and
went to bunt for the invader, but at
a simple matter of precaution, slipped
upstair and aroused his friends and
roomer, Van Turks and Bell of tho
0. R. & N. Iservice, and the three, in
semi-Grecian costume made nine dis
tinct circuits of the entire house, from
"foundation atone to turret crest." Mr.
Strumeycr guarding the rear ol the
parade with Van Tuyl in the lead.
After they had got their marrow chilled
and a first-claw cold apiece, the dis
covery was made that their next door
neighbor was hustling about making
fire and getting ready for his day's
wdrk. The trio sncesed out a solemn
oath to say no word of the adventure,
but it leaked out, like a good Christ
mas story ahould.
