AROUND THE CITY.
Williams Arrives at the
County Jail.
A C0L0RED WOMAN BEATEN.
Other Events of an Interesting
Nature Which Occurred Yes
terday in Town.
A COLORED WOMAN BEATEN.

Deputy Sheriff Wray came into town
yesterday accompanied by Mr.. A. G.
Williams, the man fmany aliases, who
took the liberty of signing Arthur Cor
hams name to draft. He was taken to
the County Jail, where he will remain
until he can be examined on a charge OF
forgery.
Mr.. Williams does not resemble very
much the elegant "sssiety" swell who
left here few days ago fer the purpose
of bestowing little of the $500 a week
allowance upon the sporting people OF
that city. He is beginning to show a
little asperity in the matter of his arrest
and forcible return to Los Angeles
and declares his intention Of making it
hot for somebody. The joke has been
carried too far, and he is tired OF it. He
was perfectly willing to talk to the re-
porters who sought an audience, al
though upon Mr.. Maynes, of the Nadeau,
who called and offered to shake hands
with him, he turned very cold shoul-
der. Mr.. Williams still insists that it
will all come out right as soon as Mr..
Gorham himself can be heard from.
He says that the statement which has
appeared in some of the papers that he
was of mean origin, is untrue,
as his family in Mississippi is
wealthy and of high standing. He makes
very savage remarks about the society of
Los Angeles, into which it appears that
he supposes himself to have been re-
ceived, and he threatens Damaging dis
closures about some prominent ladies' if
they do not exert themselves to have
this prosecution stopped. 1t is needless
to say that nobody appears to be very
mnch terrified at the threat.
A party of gentlemen were discussing
Williams case in a saloon yesterday
afternoon, when one of them remarked: :
"Well, the fellow, after all, did look like
an aristocrat." Glow ?" asked one of
the others. "He gave one the impression
Of not having any brains," was the reply.

ASSAULTED A WOMAN.
She Resisted His Attentions, and
He ChOked Her.

He ChOked Her.
A large negro man by tue name OF
Charles Harper was arrested yesterday
afternoon on charge of assault to MUIR
der. he went into low lodging house
on Also street, used only by people of
his own race, and entered the room of a
young colored woman who was living
there. He informed her that she must
not receive the attentions of other men
than himself, and swore that ii she did
not consent to be his mistress exclusively,
he would kill her. She became fright
ened and started to call for help, but
he grasped her around the throat and
threw her upon the bed. According
10 the account which she gave afserward,
he set about killing her by beating her
over the head with his fists and choking
her. When her screams finally brought
help he had succeeded in almost strang-
ling her; the blood was gushing from
her nose and ears, and she was fainting
from loss OF breath. The last thing he
tried to do was to stuff a large pocket
book down her throat.
When help came to the woman Harper
bolted out of the room and was running
down the street at lively rate when
Officer Dugan overlook him. He was
captured and brought to the station.

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
A Chat with Governor Torrcs-The
Massac Deal.


Massac Deal.
Senior Luis E. Torres, Governor of
Lower California, was sitting in the Ma
deau House lobby watching the throng
of recreation-seekers passing to and fro,
when a HERALD man dropped in yester-
day afternoon. When questioned as to
matters on the Peninsula, His Excellen-
cy said
"Things are rather quiet down there
just now. At the Santa Clara mines there
are, however, 700 or 500 men encamped,
and as they are coming and going all the
time, it makes that part of the country
little active. A good many of them are
prospecting but several stands have been
made and there is already one mill in
operation"
Speaking of the Massae deal, Senior
Torres said: eve are very glad to have
the Chinese down there, for at present
the labor supply is not equal to the de-
mand. The natives do not care to work
for anyone but themselves, because if
they want to mine they can do so on
their own account. The importation of
Mongolian laborers by Mr.. Masac will !,
therefore, be very beneficial to our part
Of the country; also to the Cinnamon,
because they can get plenty of work and
good treatment, and also to Lower Cali
fornia, because Chinese immigration is
especially desired there"
Governor Torres will leave this morn
ing for his headquarters at Ensenada.

DINNER ALA CARTE

Then the bette nor tied his legs

ticket at the station.

and losing connections because the bette
noir wouldn't pay his ten cents.
One man said, "lIerel I'll pay the ten
cents. Great heavens! I've got to lee
ture at Talbot, Indiana, tomorrow,
and if don't get there lose IS and my
expenses"
But the passengers said, "No, he
must pay it hi nself. We will assist in
hanging him to dried apple tree, but
we will not allow anybody to pay his
ten cents for him"

Discouraged.

1t is so easy to say, 'Never give up
the ship" 1t is SO easy to hold your
head up and step firmly, to laugh
cheerily and have pleasant word for
everybody, when safely hedged in from
sorrow and poverty by the love OF
friends and bottOmless purse. When
sickness passes by to knock ut some
other door, when home is the one
"sweet safe corner in all the world,
when there are those who would suffer
that YOU might go free-ahl then it is
easy to feel as if nothing could ever
make you quite discouraged. This is
a beautiful world, and there are lots of
good things in it. Yes, many son
and daughter, few wives and moth
erS, and ABOUT the same proportion of
husbands and fathers, do live more in
the shine than in the shadow OF life.
But there are so many, so many more,
who have to buck e on their armor and
spend their best hearts blood in the
daily life. Such bitter trials as men
and women do live through! Who can
doubt that heaven sends them their
forlitudeg 1t cannot be of earth. Such
strains of heart and brain rs hearts and
brains do still bear up under! Is it any
wonder that weary hands sometimes
fall de5pondingly, and weary heads
bow discouraged? Oh, We whose paths
are in the pleasant places, whose faith
was never tried by heavens seeming
disregard of your prayers AMI tears,
| who never knew the lack OF tender
| home love and protection, eXult in
your happiness, and thank Providence.

At the kraal or livery stable, wher

that game was very plenty about thirty

a small forest of ilngsnag trees and

and elephants had been scared up by
Boer who had penetrated this jungle
accompanied by his brake or dog.

venting the escape of our trusty cle-
plants by attaching their trunks, we
began TO prepare our evening meal.
read the directions from q book Of Al
rican travel and my very faithful com
rade, Mr.. Riley Haggard, did the cook
ing.
First refreshing ourselves with long
draught from n gourd OF spoopiu from
Peoria, marked 1912, so called because
1t is placed on the market eighteen
hours and forty-two minutes after it is
made, our faithful gun-bearer, Wang
Wang, began to carve tho bultong
Meiboss, and jerked muskrat for the
evening meal Making a bright fire Of
karroo bushes and fresh train figs, q
wad of mealies was soon simmering
over the Goals, while the odor of Gin =
cinnati buliong pervaded the tropical
forest.
Wang Ylang, our faithful valet, who
has made his name n household word
because of his search after Schwatka
and Oae Mint Stanley, said that ac-
cording to the books on African explo-
ration it was now time to bed down the
elephants. After doing this he returned
and proceeded with the cuisine.
We had hardly swallowed our sup.
per, when Mr.. Riley Haggard was
about to climb date palm TO secure
few luscious lecture dates, when our
ears were saluted by a most unearthly
and ear piercing roar from the heart of
the Jungle. At this moment our faith
full Wang Wang came with eyes stick
ing out like a sore thumb to announce
that our bird dog had flushed large
Abysinian lion.
Hurriedly putting a little Mayouaise
dressing on our faithful Wang Ylang
we sent him out to parley with the lion
while we put on our telegraph climbers,
and filling our pockets with bultong we
assembled a Duluth palm tree.
