Charles GIBNEY, one of the proprietors of the Art Dance Hall, who was convicted last Thursday of selling liquor without permission from the Board of Trustees, was fined $10 by City Justice John C. MARCH in the Justice’s Court this morning. Gibney was found guilty of the charge by a jury composed of twelve representative citizens. Charles T. JONES, the attorney for Gibney, asked for a new trial this morning, but the Court denied the motion. Jones asked that the fine imposed be made as light as possible. He said he had advised Gibney not to sell any more liquor until the matter was finally settled by a higher Court, and he felt sure the defendant would comply. The case he said would be carried directly to the Superior Court, and there is no inclination on the part of the defendant to violate the law. He said the case was merely to test the law, and the defendant was acting under the advice of his attorneys. City Attorney S. Luke HOWE did not ask that a heavy fine be imposed. When Justice March placed the fine at $10 he warned Gibney that this case was not to be taken as a criterion, and that if he sold liquor again, he would not get off so easily. He fixed Gibney’s bail at $10 cash or $50 bond. The case will be carried to the Superior Court immediately.

He was a victim of consumption. Deceased was a native of Missouri, aged 55 years. He leaves a wife. Marsh was the son of Mrs. E. Marsh, of Alturas, Modoc County, and a brother of J.W.

JAFFE The Victim of an Assault Would-be Robber Made an Attempt to Choke Him When a Light Was Struck - Former Employe Arrested on Suspicion A bold attempt was made to rob Dr. M.S. Jaffe at an early hour yesterday morning while he was asleep in his room in the Davis building, on K Street between Fourth and Fifth. A young man named Joseph LAWRENCE, who was formerly employed by Dr. Jaffe, has been arrested on suspicion of having committed the offense. Dr. Jaffe was awakened about 3 o’clock in the morning by a noise in his room. He struck a match, and as soon as he did so the intruder grabbed him by the throat and attempted to choke him. He called for help, and the burglar ran from the room. Night Clerk W.G. MITCHELL responded to Dr. Jaffe’s calls, and was told the fellow was in the bath-room. When Mitchell opened the door, the man ran out, and succeeded in making an escape. The man was in his coat sleeves and had a slouch hat on. He had rented a room in the Davis building a few hours prior to the attempted burglary. His coat was found in the room by James G. DAVIS, proprietor of the lodging house. Substitute Officer George RADONICH, who was detailed on the case, took the coast as a clue and shortly afterward arrested Lawrence, whom he found asleep at his home in the southern part of the city. Lawrence admitted that the coat belonged to him, but said he could prove it had been stolen from him. He claimed he want to bed at 10 o’clock that night. Those who saw the burglar have looked at Lawrence, and declare he “looks like” the man wanted, although he has not been identified. Lawrence has been released on bail. The would-be burglar gave the name of FOSTER when he rented the room at the Davis building. He did not succeed in securing anything of value. The door to Dr. Jaffe’s room had been left unlocked. About a year ago Dr. Jaffe was the victim of a bold assault. Two men entered his place to make a purchase. While he was waiting upon them, one of them struck him down with a cruel blow on the head with a slungshot. His cries frightened his assailants away before they succeeded in robbing him. He suffered several weeks from the injuries he received. BURGLAR CAPTURED WHILE IN A HOUSE Charles GIBSON, a native of the Sandwich Islands, who has been employed as gardener at the residence of Lew. A. NORTON, 1403 I Street, has been arrested by Officers KRIPP and RYAN, and a charge of burglary will be placed against him. While Norton and his family were absent from the house last Saturday, Gibson crawled in the back window. He was seen pulling down all the shades by neighbors, who notified the police. Officer Ryan entered the house, and found Gibson in the dining-room. The house had been completely ransacked, although the only thing missing was a small silver watch, afterward found in Gibson’s effects. It is evident that Gibson expected to find money, for a number of articles of value were not touched. CRIMINAL CASES IN SUPERIOR COURT In Superior Judge E.C. HART’s Court to-day, the cases of Francisco QUIJADA, Charles CARSON and J.W. FINLEY, the Folsom convicts charged with assault with deadly weapons, were continued until next Saturday. S. KOJIMA, a Japanese charged with assault calculated to do great bodily harm, made a motion, through counsel, to set aside the information against him. The motion was overruled, and the defendant then interposed a demurrer on the ground that the information did not clearly set for the nature of the offense. The demurrer was argued and taken under advisement. Isaac ANTONE, charged with burglary, with a prior conviction of petty larceny, entered a plea of not guilty, after a motion to set aside the information had been denied. The cases of Frank CLARK and Thomas KEARNEY, charged with burglary, were continued until to-morrow. PIONEER WOMAN CALLED BY DEATH Mrs. Sarah COOPER, who died in this city last Friday, was one of the oldest pioneer women in this city, having settled here in October, 1848. With her father and mother, she left Maryland in 1847. The family wintered in Missouri and reached here in 1848. The father purchased a farm from General Sutter at Twenty-ninth and B Streets. Upon this property some member of the family has resided continually ever since. Her husband, who has been dead for some twenty years, was also a pioneer, coming in 1849. She leaves a brother, Amos P. STEWART, of Truckee, and two sisters, Mrs. G.O. HIGGINS of Oregon and Mrs. L. CHURCHMAN of Fruitvale. She was 74 years of age. POLICE RECOVER MUCH STOLEN HARNESS The police have recovered a dozen sets of harness, a saddle and bridle and a lawn mower, that were stolen by Charles CLARK and Frank DEL MAR, who were arrested Saturday afternoon by Officers PENNISH and RYAN, as told in The Bee. Both of these men are crooks, and the officers have enough evidence against them to send them to the penitentiary for long terms. They have confessed to the crimes, and have said they will plead guilty when the case comes up in the Superior Court. They have both served terms in the County Jail. Clark was released about a month ago, after serving eighteen months for obtaining money under false pretenses. COOPER CONCLUDES TO PLEAD GUILTY John COOPER, the man who recently cut off the nose of his wife with a caseknife in a fit of drunken, jealous rage, in their rooms in the Mansion House, on Seventh Street, has made up his mind that it would be best for him to enter a plea of guilty. He has been fighting for delay in his case ever since he was arrested and had his preliminary examination. It is now understood that he will go into Court next Monday and enter a plea of guilty to a charge of mayhem. A SUICIDE IN OAKLAND OAKLAND, May 8 - Former City Councilman B.C.. CUVEILIER, living in this city, and Vice-President of a San Francisco liquor house, committed suicide to-day by shooting himself through the mouth with a pistol, on top of the eleven-story Union Savings Bank building, the highest point in Oakland. Death was instantaneous. Illness is assigned as the cause. Murdered a Girl and Shot Himself SAN JOSE, May 8 - As the result of a shooting tragedy enacted late Saturday night at the New Almaden mines, twelve miles form here, Minnie CHAVES, a young Mexican girl, is dead, and J. SENESCEROS , the young miner who murdered her, is in danger of dying from a self-inflicted wound. It is said that Senesceros, in a fit of jealousy shot the woman and then turned the revolver on himself. This is the theory which influenced the Coroner’s Jury in it’s verdict, which directly fastens the crime on him. Senesceros is in the County Jail and is not expected to live. Prompt action of deputies saved him from lynching. BORN BUCK - In this city, May 4, 1905, to the wife of Arthur E. Buck, a daughter. DIED GRAHAM - At Goldfield, Nevada, May 7, 1905, Ernest M.
