GO AS YOU PLEASE AT $5 AND COSTS Last Friday evening, William Stevens, a saloon keeper at Pinos Altos and a San Fran- cisco judge dressed in his besht Sunday shute av cloas, a shtandin’ collar and a darby hat, and who says he “dhraws millions an his check vwhin it has the famous frinch name av Edward Kayhoe tacked an to the tail ind av it; were driving at a furious rate up Bullard street. When Marshal Cantley tried to stop the pair they urged the horse to go faster and after a narrow escape from being run over, the marshal was forced to loose his hold on the horse and let them go. Constable Rodriguez followed on horseback and overtook them outside of town but they refused to accompany him without a warrant. Next day Marshal Cantley procured a warrant and arrested the pair at Pinos Altos. They v/ere tried before Justice Givens and fined $5 and costs each. The case was a very aggra- vated one and it seems a peculiar construction of the law when the minimum penalty is as- sessed against the most audacious law breaker, for whose benefit the severer penalties were enacted.
