Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-04-10

Sefior Alfredo Bandini died on
the evening of April 9th, from q
complication of disorders, the i'm
mediate cause of death being in
ternal hem'orrhage. An evening
contemporary was wrong in stating
that his death was the result of an
accident received while superin-
tending portion OF the building of
the Baker Block. Mr.. Bandini
was brother of Mrs. r. S. Baker,
brother-in-law of Judge CarriIlo
and was scion of one of the mos
distinguished native families in
Southern California. His numer-
Gus connections will be shocked to
hear of his death. He was young
man OF fine promise, fair talents
and exemplary habits. The funeral
will take place from the residence
of Mr.. Charles II. Johnson, Main
street, on the arrival of his sister,
Mrs. Baker, overland from San
Francisco. The services will take
place in the church on the Plaza.
We had visit yesterday from
Mr.. B. M. Lelopg, late the Secre-
tary of the Fourth Ward Working
mems Club. He informed us that
the Club of which he is a me mber
had Il meeting on the night of April
lst, at which Mr.. Jesse H. Butler
was exonerated from all blame for
his conduct in certain transactions
with which readers of the HERALD
are familiar. The resolutions tn.
Secretary was instructed to publish
in the Star. The meeting broke up
about "a quarter tn eleven o'clock,
and at half past eleven, Mr.. Lelong
arrived at the Star Office with the
resolutions duly authenticated by
his signature, only to find that u
series of resolutions, with his name
attached, was already hanging oil
the compositors' hook. AS Mr.. L..
had not authorized the writing of
his name he was highly indignant
at the liberty which had been taken
with it. AT the meeting on the
evening of the 9Th instant he arose
in the Club, denounced the whole
transaction as forgery, with the
declaration that if they could forge
his name in such a matter they
might do it in something more ma
terial, and withdrew from the Club,
leaving the records on the table.
Mr.. Lelong informs us that Mr.John
Goldsworthy and two other gentle
men followed his example.
Mr.. Noyes, our we'll known vet
eran auctionaer, brought to our at
tention yesterday rather, to say
the least, strained Interpretation of
his duty by member of the city
police force. Mr.. Noyes was about
to sell mule, and, after ringing
his bell In :he usual manner, led
the animal, which was perfectly
docile, across the sidewalk into
his warerooms. While he was iu
the act of selling the mule a police .
men approached him and ip a per-
emptory tone Of voice, Mr.. Noyes
says, told him he must not bring
that animal across the sidewalk
again. Mr.. Noyes, notwithstand-
ing he thinks he is entitled, like
other merchants, to ipgress to and
egress from his place of business,
when the sale was over, took the
animal out by the back door. In
view of this arbitrary proceeding
on the part of the policeman, the
question arises, Has an auctioneer,
notwithstanding he pays higher
tax than any other class of busi-
ness men, any rights? If not, we
think it is but fair that Mr.. Noyes
and others engaged in the same
business should be so informed or
the law should be so amended that
they can conduct their business on
the same terms as other merchants.
