ACTIONS AT LAW.
Valuable Property Involved In a
New Suit.


An action involving the title to valu.
able realty in this city has just been
entered in the Superior Court by Charles
Fl. Dimmick. The complaint alleges
that Kimball II. Dimmick, father of the
plaintiff in this case, died intestate, in
the city of Los Angeles, September l,
1861, being seized and possessed at the
time OF his death OF the following parcels
of land, to-wit: Lots and 8, block 8,
Ord's survey. fronting Spring street on
the east, between Second and Third a
lot of about two acres, fronting on the
| west side of San Pedro street; lot of
| similar size, on the east side of San
Pedro street; also of personal property
valued at $3.50. 1t is alleged that the
deceased left wife and two sons in the
State of New York, who were his lawful
heirs, but it appearing to the local auth
critics that there were. no known heirs,
George Carson, the principal defendant
in this case, applied for letters of admin
istration, which were granted by the
Probate Court, and the estate of the de-
ceased was subsequently settled accord
ing to the usual way, several claimants
being allowed reimbursements, and the
property being disposed of among vari
GUS purchasers. The plaintiff, however,
alleges that said letters of admins
tratlon were procured illegally, and that
the estate was administered in an
irregular manner. Proper notice of same
was not given, and the alleged heirs did
not learn of the circumstances of their
relatives death until within three years
of the commencement of this action. The
claims of the mother and brother having
been duly assigned to the plaintiff, Char
les II. Dimmick, he now asks the court
to set aside all former proceedings, that
he may come into possession of his rights
by inheritance and assignment. Among
the parties to the suit, who have become
connected by purchase of portions of the
disputed property, or otherwise, are
Julian Valdez, Mary 10 seph Cashel, John
Lang, Robert McGarvin, John Stein, E.
E. White, Henrietta J. Workman, Alfred
Workman, A. l.. Bath, N. w. Stowell,
Patrick Goodwin, and number of others
unknown by name.
Matilda B. de Sanchez comes to the
court for relief in a business transaction
she has had with one Manuel Contreras.
1t develops from the complaint filed in
the County Clerks office, that Contreras
rented certain tract of land from the
plaintiff for farming purposes, agreeing
to pay therefor rental of one-third of
the products. The plaintiff alleges that
the defendant has not turned over any
portion of said rental although he has
occupied the place since February l,
1887, and successive crops have been
harvested and garnered wherefore plain
tiff prays from such redress from her ten
ant as the court may deem fit in the
premises to allow.

A QUEER CASE.
A Brood of Mares and Colts Sued
for Board and Lodging.


for Board and Lodging.
A brown mare with bay colt, bay
filly, bay mare and sorrel colt were
sued in the Superior Court yesterday for
board and lodging by Rafael Machsdo,
who alleges that the animal on May
10th, ran onto his land in the Rancho
Rincon de Los Bueyes and for ten days
wandered about devouring the verdure
and damaging the agricultural products
of the rancho to the extent OF 5000. He
also sues the animals for their board
amounting to $10l and asks that Judge
ment be rendered against them for $3O1.
The suit has some peculiarities about it.
The Sheriff is obliged in all cases to serve
the defendants with copies of the com.
plant. The question is how will he
serve the complaint in this instance and
will he be required to serve a copy to
each defendant? The animals may not
be able to accept personal service and
should it be done by publication, the ad.
vertisement might never be read by
them. OF course they will make nc ans
wer and judgement will be taken against
them by default, and then the question
will arise as to how they will pay and
how they will be required to pay into
Court the costs of the suit? These CO.
nundroms agitated the minds OF tine
Deputy County Clerks yesterday.

THE SOTO CASE
still on Trial In the Supreme Court.
Small Witnesses.

The trial Of the Mexican boy Soto, who
is accused OF making an indecent
assault upon little Tillie Vest, continued
through the day yesterday in Judge
Cheney's court. An entertaining feature
of the trial was the effort OF the prosecu-
tion to obtain testimony from the two
children, Walter and Tillie Vest. Walter
is ten years of age and Tille not quite
five. According to the law of this State
child under ten is competent to give
testimony if he has sufficient intelligence
to perceive and narrate anything that
has happened, aud if he appreciates the
difference between truth and falsehood.
Little Walter acted in very shy
fashion when brought to the stand, and
it was only with considerable difficulty
that any answers were obtained from
him.
"Walter, do you tell lies?" asked the
Court. I'm uI
"No, sir" whispered Walter. m
"Do you know what happens to' little
boys that tell lies? ?"
"They get whipped"
After a few more questions the Court
said that he was satisfied as to the wit
ness appreciating the difference between
truth and falsehood, but the attorneys
for the defense still had doubts.
"Walter," said one of the gentlemen,
"Can you tell me what truth is?'
"Just have his answer taken down.
said the District Attorney, 81 have been
wanting to find out what the truth is for
long time"
Walter did not attempt to define truth.
"Can you tell me who God is and
where he lives" continued the lawyer.
''There are good many wise men
who have given that question up" said
the Court. eve can hardly expect a
child to tell u.s."
After few more questions it was de-
cided that Walter was too shy to get any
thing out of him and little Tillie was
brought in. The Judge made use of a
vent which he discovered in the little
ones dress as an illustration and sue
ceeded in getting from her pretty clear
statement that it was naughty to tell lies
and that little girls who did SO got burnt
up" For child of four, Tillie was GER
tainly very bri ght and was more promis-
ing as witness than her older brother.
She did not escape the attorneys for the
defense however.
"Tillie," she was asked, "Do you I'M
derstand the nature of an oath ?'
The little one stared in silence at the
questioner.
"Do you understand what it is to swear
or to make an affidavit?"
"Ask her if she understands a posse
comitatus or writ of replevin," said the
Court, and the Sheriff had some difficulty
in suppressing the laughter of the spec
tators.
1t was finally decided that as far as the
comprehension of the difference between
truth and falsehood was concerned Tillie
was worthy to go on the witness stand.
The testimony was thrown out on other
grounds.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The Annual Meeting of thc Board
of Directors.

The Annual Meeting of the Board
Of Directors.
The annual meeting of the Directors OF
the State Normal School of Los Angeles,
took place in this city yesterday morn
ing at the Normal School building. There
were present: Governor Waterman,
Lieutenant Governor Stephen M. White,
Mrs. Clara Foltz, Col. Geo. H. Smith,
G. w. Childs and Prof Ira More. The
meeting was in every respect harmonious,
and the unanimity with which action
was taken, argued we'll for the prosperity
of the institution in their care. The
Board of last year was reelected with O..
w. Childs as President, Col. George H.
Smith as Vice-President, and Prof. Ira
More as Secretary. The Executive Com
mittee for the coming year is unchanged, +,
consisting of Messrs. o. w. Childs, G.
H. Smith and Lieutenaut-G s.
M. White.
The matter of a gymnasium for advanc-
ed physical culture, was thoroughly
discussed, and ended in a resolution
to petition the Legislature for an appro-
priation to erect building suitable for
that purpose. Various other needed i'm
provements were to be included in this
petition. A resolution was passed look
ing to an increase OF the salaries paid to
the teachers during the next fiscal year.
1t appearing from the financial report that
there was small surplus left from the
appropriation OF last year, there was
some discussion as to how it should be
employed. Governor Waterman, who had
recently paid visit to the Lick Obser
vatory at Mount Hamilton, was very en-
thusiastic over the beauty and value Of
the study of astronomy, and argued
strongly that this money could not be put
to better use than the purchase of a
telescope, which would be of service not
to the school alone, but to all the resi-.
dents of Los Angeles who are interested
in the mysteries of the heavens. 1t was
finally decided to employ the surplus in
accordance with Governor Waterman's
idea.
