HE WANTED TO GO,
hut the BucOlic C0nstables Herded
Him too closely.

A day or two ago a poor, foot-weary
tramp came up to the Sheriff's Office and
told a doleful story. He said he was
very anxious to get out of the county.
He wanted to go as he pleased, and he
pleased to walk. One day he packed his
few effects and took the road. He got
away from the city days journey or 80,
when a bucolic Constable pounced upon
him and headed him back to Los Ange-
les. After a few days he thought he
would try it again, hoping that by taking
a different route the Constable
might be off fishing, or not
so rapid as the other fellow.
But the average country Constable is
|Argus-eyed where what he thinks a
tramp is concerned. He soon found his
legal sphinx by the roadside with the
modern riddle of why he was not riding
in palace car. Not guessing right, the
poor pedestrian was hustled back to the
city to answer to another charge of being
vagabond. In due time the go.as.you-
please traveller got oncs more out OF
the meshes of the law, and set off on
foot to get out of Los Angeles county.
He trudged away manfully for many a
weary mile, when there sat his Nemesis,
a Constable, who, seizing him for a
tramp, hurried him back to the
city. He wanted to take no more
chances, so he came to the Sheriff's
Office to get passport that he might pass
beyond the lines of the county. He
told the officer that on all these oc-
casions he had had money in his purse.
He showed the Sheriff modest sum
then in his purse, so he WAS duly fur
nished with letter from the office, ad-
dressed to all these, so vigilaut limbs Of
the law who lie in wait for tramps for
SO fee and for mileage, to let the bearer
pass unmolested beyond the lines of the
county. 1t is q queer state OF affairs,
indeed. The county government bill
might be we'll amended so as to give
these Constables in the country $3.50
year salary and stop the fee business.

A TERRIFIC RUNAWAY.
A Horses Leg cut off Clean as With
a Knife.

A terrific runaway occurred yesterday
afternoon on Upper Main street. A load
of lumber was proceeding along the
street when some circumstance fright
ened the team, causing them to run
away. Just ahead was load of bricks
going in the same direction. In an in
slant the runaway team had collided
with the rear OF the load of bricks. One
of the frightened horses swerved side
wise and passed alongside the other
wagon. This pulled the other horse
right in line with the load OF bricks. He
leaped in the air and came down with
terrific force on top Of the bricks. The
driver of this wagon had narrow escape
from the iron shoes of the terrified horse.
The harness partly gave way and
allowed the horse that kept the road to
continue in his wild carer, but the
leather did not entirely part, and en-
tangled the poor horse on top of the
other wagon. The animal was pulled to
the ground, and one of the straps becom
ing wound around one of his legs, sew
cred this as clean as if it had been cut
with saw. In spite of his pitisble
plight the wounded horse sprang to his
feet and set in lively race to overtake
his companion, now nearly out of sight.
Some men in the street caught the poor
brute whose leg was lost, and he was
taken away to be shot, SO as to end his
terrible suffering.

Arrives.
The Building Committee of the City
Council will recommend on Monday next
that the bid of Meyberg Bros, for fur
nishing the new City Hall with gas fix
lures, be accepted. 1t will also recon-
mend that the bid of Eckstrom & Stras-
berg, to fresco the Council Chamber for
5000, be accepted. The design selected
by the Building Committee is not as
handsome as it might be, but it will look
very well when the smallness of the price
is considered.
1t is the intention of the Council to
move into the new City Hall on August
1st, if possible, although it is believed
by those who have visited the building
lately that it will not be completed by
that time. The work bas been
DELAYED somewhat by the tardi-
ness of the arrival of the marble
for the wainscoating OF the halls, but
this is here now. and large force OF
men is busy putting it in place. Most OF
the carpenter work is done, and the
painters are busy in various parts OF the
building. Yesterday they were at work
on the Council Chamber. The terra
Gotta mantel, which is to be twenty i've
feet high, is not yet ready to be put in
place, but it will be in before many
days. The crushed bricks in the veneer
ing of the tower are being replaced, and
it begins to look better. The alkali
which shows on the surface of the bricks
will be washed off with acids, which will
prevent its coming out again. Some OF
the offices are ready for use now, but
none of them will be occupied until the
whole building is ready to turn over to
the public.

WHERE Is GIESEN !?
An Antelope valley Rancher Is
Missing for Two Weeks.


Missing for Two Weeks.
Two weeks ago yesterday a man who
gave his name as Giesen, and said that
he came from Antelope Valley, came to
the stable OF Mr.. Boquist, on First street
known as the Buckeye Stables. He left
a pair of horses, one of which was bay
and the other roam, farm wagon and q
camping outfit, to be taken care Of.
Giesen had with him some samples OF
wheat, which he stated he had brought
to the city to sell his crop of wheat by.
He said he would 60 out and see what he
could get for the wheat, and left the
stable. Two weeks have passed, and
still the team and other effects remain at
the Buckeye Stable; but the Antelope
granger has never put in an appearance.
His,w heresbouts ar not known to any one
here, neither is his postoffice address
known, nor is there any way to reach his
friends, if he has any, excepting through
the daily press. Hence the publication
of the facts.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-07-12

The case went to the Supreme Court
after many delays, owing to the absence
of the Judge for this county and other
causes. The court held tnat all the ex
ceptions taken we're we'll taken, and
ordered new trial, with the provision
that the testimony on which the pre-
vious judgment was founded be not again
admitted. But there was no other evil
dence procurable and, therefore, the
District Attorney moved to have the
case dismissed, which was done. 1t was
fully tantamount to an acquittal for
Mays. These are the facts, as the writer
knows, for he reported the case at the
time.

A New way of Protesting a Note

A day or two ago an unknown man
walked into the Sheriff's Office, and his
eye striking Joe Aguirre, he approached
him as the hsndsomest and most pleas.
ant appearing inmate of the Office. He
asked If there was any money there, as
he had note he wished to pro est. Joe
said he did not know of any money for
such purpose, and the man walked out.
Mr.. Aguirre told the story to Captain
Thornton, and the Under Sheriff, think
ing it queer, went out on the sidewalk
and asked the man what it was he de-
sired. The fellow took out a note for a
sum Of money, which was overdue, and
said the man who gave him the note
would not pay it, so he had decided to
come to the Sheriff's Office and have il
protested. but that if there was no money
in the office he supposed it would do nc
good.

WHAT Is THE S. P. SCHEME
Pii.nE Peiion ON Ossa In the Way of
Ties.

In railroad circles the conundrum of
the hour is what the Southern Pacific
is mp to. Any one who visits San Pedro
will be struck with astonishment to be-
hold the heaps of ties being piled up by
the thousands and hundreds of thous-
ands. For long time it was supposed
that the company intended a big pro-
gramme of renewals and repairs, but as
the ties continued to come in, and as the
piles grew longer and longer, it became e
evident that some other object than that
of repairs is in view. Seldom has such
pile of ties been gathered in one place,
and the cry is, still they come. Steam
schooners follow one another almost daily,
and they are all loaded with ties for the
Southern Pacific. The mystery of it all
is that no Southern Pacific official knows
anything about it. Is it move on San
Diego? What use has the Southern
Pacific with San Diego? Is it Salt Lake ?
Every Official you ask looks at you and
says, Quien sabei All the same, il
means something in they way of exten-
sion. But what?

How Ed. Mays was Acquitted.

Nearly all the daily press is utterly in
error as to the manner in which Ed.
Mays was acquitted. His attorneys, A.
J. King and Henry T. Gage, took nearly
sixty exceptions to the ruling of the
court during the trial, and most of these
objections were as to the admission of
evidence put in by the prosecution.
Hon. s. M. White was District Attorney,
and the late Judge Hines, of Ventura,
tried the case. After the jury brought
in verdict of guilty, and the sentence
was pronounced, both Mr.. White and
Judge Hines offered to sign petition for
his pardon. This Mays attorneys would
not accept, but said that as their
client was not guilty, he must come
out as an unconvicted man.

A movement is on foot to make close
connections in this city between the
Rapid Transit trains and those of the
Southern Pacific to Santa Monica. AS it
is now, the people OF Pasadena find it
difficult to reach the beach in any sort OF
good time. The Santa Fe train to
