fla-ebe, Rti artist of eood profostionnl stnndlnc, aped more than sixty years, w-as this morning sentenced by Police-Judge Campbell to some sixty iIhvh In jail and to pny a fine of 100 for disturbing the peace by ogling, following and otherwise annoyingMissIsabolla Warn, daughter of a well known citizen of San Francisco. The case and its culmination have created 9 sensation in San Francisco and in Marin county, where both parties are very well known. Basebe ia a married man, but something of a Lothario, notwithstanding his age. Daring the past three- years he lias made a systematic attempt to ingratiate himself into the favor of Miss Warn by addressing her on the street, writing letters and other delicate devices, too numerous to mention. Ilia advances were scornfully repulsed by Warn, but frequent robufTs seem only to have incited the aged suitor to more frequent and ardent efforts which finally annoyed her beyond endurance.

Miss Warn caused his arrest. On trial, he was convicted and sentence was administered today. The case will be appealed. SUIT ACA1NST THE GOVERNOR. Patriotic Chapter from tho Hlotory of Minnesota.

St. Paul, May 3. A sensational suit was begun against William Merriam, governor of Minnesota this evening bv James C. Hathawuv, of Stillwater, on bnhalf of Thomas O'Connor, a life convict in the.tt.ue penitentiary. Tho damages aBKcd nre $25,000.

The story tendinis up to the suit is one of the most pathetic in the state'!) hia tal y. highteen years ago Thomas O'Connor, and Thomas Kime, two convivial companions, had a rough and tumble fight near Montgomery, Lesuer county and Kane was stabbed to death. O'Connor was tried and sentenced to spend the remainder of his life behind the prison walls. Two years ago friends of the notorious Younger brothers, the Missouri outlaws, secured the passage through the legislature of a law permitting the governor to release lifo prisoners on their promise to leave the state of Minnesota forever. Under this law the governor, who was then William It.

Merriam, refused to set free the Younger brothers, but ho did older the re lease of Thomas O'Connor. Tho latter left the atato at once, but his wife, who still lived near Montgomery, fell very ill, and lying on her death-bed, expressed a desire to see her husband ngain. He came, and while she lingered between life and death eorao one informed the officers of Leseur county. who seized O'Connor and informed the governor of his capture. Governor Merriam ordered O'Connor reincarcerated, and he began again his life sentence in prison.

The case was carried to the supremo court of the state, and yesterday a decision was rendered to the effect that Governor Merriam had no right to act until the case had been examined by tho court in which the prisoner had been tried or by a higher court. An order was this evening served on Warden Wolfer at Stillwater, and O'Connor will depart a free man tomorrow. The $25,000 suit against Merriam is for fatso inprlson-uient. TAUGHT BOYS TO STEAL. W.

When the case of Charles Johnson, who was charged with abducting Lizzie Brookbank, was called in Justice Eber-hardt's court yesterday morning Robert Brookbank, father of the girl, created a sensation by making an attempt to shoot the alleged abductor of his daughter.

IN A HOP JOINT, St A Minneapolis Girl Rounded Up In Chicago. Sho could Not Got on with Her Mother-Likes Chicago because There Is so Much Fun. Chicago, III, May 3 Associated Press. That peculiar sickening odor which permeates the lowly Chinese laundry was preeent in Justice Lyon's court this mprning. 'A large tray, ar-e'nt, with four' opium pipes rampant and several alcohol lamps in the home stretch, formed the central decorations of his honor's desk.

Itanged before the bar of justice, 15 heavy eyed opium fiends gazed sadly at the innocent-looking paraphernalia which woos them so seductively to dreams of happiness and oblivjon of mundane cares and disappointments. The outfit was the result of a raid on a "hop joint" at 310 Clark street, kept by Charles Loen-ard. When the ofiicera entered the place last night they found 15 inmates, all white save two half-breed Chinese. Three of the "pipe-hitters" were women, one of the latter beine Ruby Peyton, a 17-year old girl, who has been missing from Minneapolis for two mouths. Ruby, not content with that counomen, rejoices in the sobriquet of "Tootrty." She is a petito girl of striking beauty and had no in telling her story.

"I came here from Minneapolis two months ago," said sho to a reporter, I could not get along with my mother. Mr. father is Meyers Altinan, aecretaiyof the Abernethy Blind Company, and ho knows that I am in Chic-ngo." I started to go to Hot Springs with a lady friend and her husband, but hia monoy gave out when we got here, and ho he went on and left us here. I went to the opium place with a friend and hive been going there two weekB. Of course I smoke, but I don't like it.

I will not go home, and if they take mo back I will run away again. I like Chicago, there is so much fun here," continued Ruby, and I'll soon bo 18 and they can't touch me. I took the name of Ruby Peyton from a novel which I once read." But little testimony in the case was taken and no defense was made, the judge imposing a fine on the keeper and the inmates. Ruby Peyton was taken back to the armory for safo keeping. MEHAN'S NARROW ESCAPE.

Knocked Thirty Feet by an Express Train and Lives. New York, May 3. AssociatedPress John Mehanr driver of a milk wagon, had an experience today that he will not soon forget. At 6:30 o'clock this morning he was driving a wagon across the tracks of the New York and New Haven Railroad when the Boston express came bowling along at full speed. The locomotive struck the wagon squarely and ground it into kindling wood.

The horses were killed instantly, and Mohan was thrown a distance of at least thirty feet. Tho engineer was mute with astonishment when he saw Mehan pick himself up and and walk toward tho 'train. Tho man wbb half stunned by tho accident, but waa uninjured, and insisted on going home without assistance. THE LOST YUMA. Juan Ca-To-To the Cosmopolitan Indian.

How He Nearly Broke a Wild West Show. Now Said to Be Living In Luxury and Sin at Glasgow. Arizona Charlie Relates an Interesting Story of tho Yuma's Adven-turos In Many Countries. Investigation reveals the fact that the Yuma Indian the Mnricopas claim was left by Arizona Charlie on the other side of the ocean, lias gained more distinction and has come nearer establishing world-wide reputation than any other Indian since the discovery of America. The name of this noted character is Juan Ci-To-To, who made a tour of the world us chief of thr Nav.tjoes.

ChnrJio Meadows and Juan Ca-ToTo slatted out from Arizona to travel with the wild weBt show managed by Worth who after undergoing the usual vicissitude" of a combination of this character went stranded in the latter fart of the year 1800 while on the stand of New Zealand. Shortly after this, Arizona Charlie organized a wild west show of his own, which, by the way, was one wing of a monster circus, and gave the first exhibition nt Melbourne, Australia. Juan, owing to hia superior intelligence together with his ability to speak fire languages, viz: Malay, Japanese, Spanish and English, besides his native tongue, took the leading part in all dramas with which Indiana were connected, besides fighting a butcher-knife duel with Charlie Meadows. He is a lluent talker in each of the languages he epenks, and at each entertainment gave a speech as big medicine man with gusto.anil brazenness excelled by none and equalled only by the irre-preeslblo Texas Tom, of tape-worm notoriety. Juan Ca-To-To Is a fine specimen of Yuma Indian, 0 feet 3 inches in height, HDd has much the bearing of an American.

His weakness for the gentler sex almost wrecked Charlie'6 Wild Wpst while in Melbourne. One morning Mr. Meadows was almost thunderstruck to meet thin reckless specimen of humanity with his hair shingled, a Prince Albert coat on, and dude trousers, with a cane to complete the outfit, walking down the street with a well dressed, handsome lady. Charlie ran him down, and after some delay finally fitted him out with a wig, so lie was able again to assume hia role. He traveled with this show nineteen months, during which Mr.

Meadows took him entirely around the world and visited nearly eveiy political division of known lands. In July, 1802, the Wild West disbanded while In Japan, and Charlie brought his red Ekinned friend with him to America, pacing through Canada and the United Statea and then made a tour of Europe. After visiting London they went to tho IsIe-of-Man, where Juan Ca-To-To joined Mexican Joe's Wild West, and Mr. Meadow's set out for America. He remained of his own free will, and is now playing a successful engagement at Glasgow.

Juan lives like a prince and has been wined and dined more than any other Indian in the world. His manner is peculiarly fascinating and he is at preeent married on the theatrical p'an to a handsome Scotch lady of menus. The talk mnde by the Maricopus iu tho result of jealousy aa Mr. Meadows offered to bring him back with him, but he scorned perfectly content, besides ho knows tho ways of tho world equally as well us the tourist of a dozen eeasons out and will turn when ho growB tired of his present mode of life. Hia Falary is a large one and ono week of economical living would at present I erne him sufficient for his fare home.

Governor Sold. Charlio Meadows yesterday told his famous thoroughbred stallion, "Governor," that was once the pet of Senator Hearst's stable and during bis palmy days a great favorite amonest the book-maakcrs and sports in long distance racing. He was a present to Charlie from Col. Head and has sired a number of flyers ii Yavapai county. Joseph Tompkins made the purchase.

FELL DOWN. Sustaining tdlo Report without Evidence. The Gazette as usual fell down on its statement in regard to the Bmooth tongued T. B. Bassett who for the past few days has glided along the streets on hia bycicle with the "sacred" letter in hia pocket and the court's decision of not guilty.

The only Bassett who haa been on the bench 'unless a carpenter's bench is referred to) in Kansas since the antediluvian age, is Judge R. O. Bassett who was judge of the district court in the twenty-second judicial district and his term expired three years ago. The relationship existing between Judge Bassett of Kansas and this T. B.

Bassett dates back to the timo Noah and bis boya loaded their little boat with poultry pigs and garden sassand sailed from the valley to the top of Mt. Ararat, but since that memorable event much of the family record has been lost and the only evidenco of relationship now in existence ia that T. U. Bassett passed through! Kansas four yea rs aco hile Judge R. C.

Bassett was holding court in another section of the state. C. Bassett, the legal gentleman referred to by the imaginative ecribe does not make a specialty of criminal practice and while famous as nn attorney, has trained none of his money, and laurels defending star routers.

E. Farish accompanied by his sonT. E. Farish, reached the city yesterday morning with the body of his son Holland who had been killed at Vulture the previous morning and of which mention was made by The Republican yesterday. The body was taken to Randall and Davis's and prepared for interment which will take place at 4 o'clock this afternoon after a funeral service at the undertaking rooms conduced by Rev.

Mr. Pearson. Just how the ui.fjrtunatt; ounu man met hie death can never be knownr bc- yond the fact that it came as result of accidental shooting. When found he was lvitig on a cot in tho ollieeof the mill with a ghatly I10I0 in his left breast ami another in his hack. The ball had passed directly through the heart.

The young mail had gone to bed in his usual bedroom, and It was sup-posed thnt he afterward arose to look' for a coyote which had been infesting the vicinity of tho house. Thlsruopo-sition is based on the circumstance that a fevv'daya before he borrowed the mill watchman's revolver for the pnrooee of shooting tho troubledomo coyote. Its thought that he arose and made an ineffectual search for the animal and afterward concluded to spend the remainder of the night on cot in the of fice. He probably threw the revolver, cocked, on the covering of tho cot and then lay down. In adjusting the covering the" revolver was probably brought into position for ii.fiictingeuch a wound as appears in the body and was 'discharged.

This conclusion is arrived at by the fact that the weapon was found tangled in the bed clothing. The deceased was 21 years of nge and a young man of excellent promiso who would have been shortly admitted to the bar. THE BALLOON EXPLODED. Ono of Emperor William's Scientific Experiments Ended.
