A Dog’s Leg Broken EXPRESSMAN IS ACCUSED OF CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL The Injured Canine Belongs to a Theatrical Company - Now Under a Surgeon’s Care - Talk of an Arrest Joseph GRISMER, the well-known actor, who is at the head of the “Humanity” company, which is to appear at the Metropolitan Theater to-night, and John S. HALE, the business manager of the organization, are hot after the scalp of a Sacramento express man. They propose to prosecute him upon a charge of cruelty to animals. When the train bearing the “Humanity” actors and five or six horses and a pack of eighteen English fox hounds arrived at the depot in this city this morning, there was a crush of curious people and a large collection of hacks and express wagons. Mr. GRISMER told a Bee reporter that an express man, who evidently imagined he owned the earth, drove deliberately into the pack of hounds, running over one of the animals and breaking one of its front legs. The suffering brute was taken to a livery stable, where the fracture was reduced by a surgeon. Mr. GRISMER said that a police officer witnessed the affair, but declined to make an arrest, saying that a warrant, properly sworn to, would have to be procured. GRISMER and HALE then consulted an officer of the Humane Society about the matter and were told that that organization would prefer not to act in this case, as it would not be a wise thing to get into conflict with the law officers.

Anonymous communication will not be noticed, but confidence of correspondents will be sacredly kept. The publication of articles in this department carries with it no guarantee of indorsement. Letter From Mrs. Minnie Pugh To the Editor of The Bee - Sir: Please pardon the liberty I take in writing to you. I am a subscriber to your weekly paper. In the issue of January 6th is an account of the criminal conduct of Frank E. PUGH, Postmaster at Perkins. Among the statements made in the article published is that he is unmarried. Now, in justice to a cruelly wronged and forsaken wife, I will state that he was married in El Dorado (this county), to Minnie N. SAVAGE, of Shingle Springs, by Justice F.N. TRACY, and five years ago the 4th of November, 1896, he forsook his home and wife to go back to keep saloon. To-day his wife is dependent upon the miserable sum of $6 per month, a helpless invalid from nervous prostration, unable to bear her weight upon her feet, or walk one step, only as she pushes a chair in front of her. Oh, if you could come and see for yourself and know the cruelty, the privation and the suffering that she is now undergoing, it would melt your heart to the keenest pity. It worries me in by feeble condition to know that if a false statement is telegraphed to the Associated Press it is so published in every newspaper in the whole world. “Helpless and alone.” None know the full meaning of the words except those who experience it. It is with the greatest exertion that I am enable to write, even with a lead pencil. Trusting I have not wearied you by my writing, I remain the forsaken wife of Frank E. PUGH. MINNIE N. PUGH Latrobe, El Dorado County, January 10, 1897. Complaint From Washington. To the Editor of The Bee - Sir: A great deal of complaint is made by parents and guardians of children attending the public school of Washington, Yolo County, of which Daniel Boone LACY is the Principal, over a rule made by him (which subordinate teachers must enforce), that the little scholars ranging all the way from 6 to 17 years of age are denied the use of the water closet during school hours, save and except upon the penalty that if they do make such use as nature requires, often time under an extreme emergency, they will be required to remain in the school room during the recess period. Mr. LACY having been remonstrated with numerous times in regard to this rule by the parents of children attending his school as to the injury to the physical health of the scholars, have received from him nothing but supreme contempt and a statement from him to these who talked to him about the mater that he would make such rules as he saw fit and see that they are obeyed. One little girl by the name of Lillie LOHRY has just returned from the hospital convalescing, after an operation performed at the Sisters’ Hospital in Sacramento, for appendicitis. The operation was performed by Dr. SUTLIFF, WIARD and O’CONNER, all of whom distinctly state that the cause of the afflictio0n was brought on by constipation. Others who are now out of school are suffering from the rule as they believe, laid down by Daniel Boone LACY. It is a well known fact to parents that many of their children are of a sensitive nature, and through their want of knowledge of their physical conditions, will withhold and check the calls of nature, because they will have to pay the penalty of being detained in school during the hours when their little comrades are at play, thereby bringing about the results stated by physicians. SEVERAL RESIDENTS Washington, Yolo County, Jan. 13th. WATSON PLEADS GUILTY He Will Appear for Sentence Before Judge Hart on Saturday. C.H. WATSON, who, a short time ago, entered rooms in two hotels in this city and stole therefrom various articles of value, was upon his own request brought into Judge HART’s Court this morning. The prisoner was accompanied by his counsel, C.F. GARDNER. His case had been set for trial on Saturday next. District Attorney RYAN announced that WATSON desired to withdraw his plea of not guilty to the two charges of burglary filed against him, and would plead guilty to one of the informations. The District Attorney was willing to accept this proposition, as it would save the expense of a trial, and would not necessitate the calling together of the jury on next Saturday. The prisoner’s attorney assented to the statement of the prisoner’s desire to plead guilty to one of the informations against him, and Judge HART thereupon set Saturday next as the time for hearing testimony as to the degree of the offense, and for the passing of sentence. ANOTHER WALK-OUT. Pacific Rolling Mills Employes Out on a Strike. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 14 - Another strike of Pacific Rolling Mills employes took place to-day, the men were employed on work for the Claus Spreckels’ new building on Market Street, and struck for an advance from $2.50 to $2.75 per day. When the advance was refused the men quit work. The strikers say the walkout was caused by a failure of the rolling mills to keep their promise of a raise in wages of 25 cents per day.
