HOLDRIDGE GETS $6 AND
TRIMMINGS. VAN EEEK
GOES FREE.
A hot kitchen, a hot day and
lots of work is inclined to ruffle
any ordinary man's temper and
as a consequence htere was a
little mixup in Cal’s Cafe which
landed the participants in the
police court this afternoon. As
reported to the Tribune, Mr. Van
Beck, the dishwasher, objected to
the way in which Mr. Iloldridge,
one of the waiters, set his dishes
upon the table and in order to
enforce his argument and also to
save his own head he used a cup
which made quite an impression
on the head of the said Mr. Hold
ridge.
The two were then hailed into
the police court and as the wit
nesses all seemed to be of the
opinion that Mr. Iloldridge had
not. been laying the dishes down
according to “Hoyle” and that
his temper needed to be better
governed, he was fined six dol
lars and costs.

X-RAY WORKS OVERTIME ON
PUGILIST’S SKULL
An X-ray portrait—profile—of
Jack Johnson, the enthusiastic
colored motoiist who became the
world’s champion heavy-weight
pugilist a year or so ago appears
in the June number of Popular
Mechanics Magazine. The .aver
age mortal’s cranium is rather a
dainty affair, rather less than a
quarter of an inch in thickness;
but a solid half an inch of good,
honest bone shields Johnson's
brain from the unkind world. Tlu
common or garden variety of
X-rays can penetrate the average
mortal's skull in 10 or 15 seconds
but the same rays had about five
minutes of hard work doing the
same thing for Mr. Johnson’s.
