He was therefore willing, with the consent of the District Attorney, that a nolle prosequi should be entered and the defendant discharged. There being no objection to the proposition, the order was entered, and Mike was released form the annoyance and perplexity of a second trial. THE WRONG CAN - A few days ago, at one of our city hotels, the cook was somewhat surprised, on resorting to the milk can just left by the milkman, to find that it contained nothing but pure water. On demanding an explanation of the milkman, on his next return, he frankly acknowledged that, instead of bringing in a can of milk properly diluted with water, he had by mistake left that which contained the diluting substance itself. He had designed, as was his custom, to distribute the water pro rata among his customers. The unreasonable landlord gave full credence to the explanation, but at once changed milkmen. INSANE - A man named Michael CODY was yesterday arrested by officer CHILDS and taken to the station house on suspicion of insanity. He was removed during the afternoon to the County Hospital. Bertha ALVERDE, who was on Monday taken to the station house on account of insanity and released was again taken in charge by officer CHILDS. She was subsequently visited by the Examining Committee, and pronounced insane. She will probably be taken to Stockton to-day.
