SOON CUKRALED,
The Nadeau House Night C1erl
Ei0pes With $500.

The Nadeau House Night Clerk
Eiopes With $500.
A sensation was created in the Nadeau
House yesterday morning, when the
news went around that James L. Kirke,
the night clerk, had disappeared during
the early hours Of the morning with the
contents of the safe. The first intimation
there was of trouble was when, at 6 80
O'Clock, Mr.. Chase, one of the proprie-
tors, was awakened by the night watch
man, who informed him that Kirke had
lett the house at 8 A. NJ. and had not re-
turned. Mr.. Chase did not suspect that
anything was wrong, but he dressed and
went down to the office. He there ex-
amined the books and found they were
all right, and then he opened the
money drawer and got his first
staggerer. for 5000 was missing. A
look into the safe showed that $500 was
gone from that receptacle, this being,
luckily, all that Kirke could get at, as
the inner chamber, containing a large
amount of money and valuable property,
could not be opened by him.
MIR. Chase at once announced reward
for kirke's arrest, and kilograms were
sent in all directions. resulting in tele-
phone message at 10 o'clock from San
Pedro to the effect that the absconder
had been arrested there. Mr.. Schrieber,
armed with warrant, at once left for
the seaport town, and, taking Kirke in
charge, brought him back to town by
team, arriving in Los Angeles about I P.
NJ. When arrested, Kirke had only
$44.9O on bus person, and declared
that he had lost the balance before he
left the Town. He made the trip to San
Pedro in hack, and hoped to get away
on one of the ocean boats. He was
taken to the city prison and will be
arraigned to-day.
Kirke came here from Dayton, O., and
has only been in the employ of the Ma.
deau House about two weeks.

Death of s.Biilyv WniI.


Mr.. William Wall OF New York, died
at the Nadeau House at IL O'Clock yes
terday noon. Mr.. Wall, whose brother
Berry, ''the king of the dudes," has made
the name famous, arrived in Los Angeles
some two weeks ago In search of health,
but he came too late, for the mendipg OF
his battered constitution was beyond hu-
man power, and he grew weaker and
weaker day by day. The fact that he
had an income of $4,000 per an
mum, insured the best of medical
attendance and treatment, and
this he had, although the mem bers of the
profession knew from the start that their
task was a hopeless one. The remaios
will be embalmed at once. and returned
70 New York, to the family burial-place.
Mrs. Wall, l,who had accompanied her son
to this city, will leave for the East as
soon as she RECEIVERS from the prostration
attendant on her bereavement.

The Polander population Of La Sale fur
nished a blood curdling murder on Monday
night, Joseph Kutha severing the jugIer
of Birtkowicz, another Pole with whom he
had been quarrelling
Both men, together with man named
Kiczsowiski we're drinking in low saloon
during the evening, and a question was
raised as to who was the best wrestler of the
principals in the murder. Kutha insisted
that he could literally mop the floor with
Birtkowicz and the latter as stoutly main
tanned that he could throw Kutha best two
out of three times. After some wrangling a
pot of beer was put up as stakes, and the
men jerked their coats and proceeded to
demonstrate their ability. Kutha was the
better man of the two, and in consequence
BirtkowiCz was compelled to pay for the
beer. This made him angry, and after
filling himself full of beer he became loud in
his demands that Kutha give him chance
to get even. They quarrelled all the way
home, and started the fight just as they
were entering their boarding house, but
were put ont by the proprietor. They then
clinched on the side walk, and Kutha. find
ing that he was getting the worst of the
mill, pulled heavy pocket knife and
stabbed Birtkowicz in the neck, completely
severing the jugler. Birtkowicz staggered
to the door, and gaining admission fell to the
floor of the hallway, expiring in few mo
ments. Kutha fed, but was captured and
sent to the county Jail to await the action of
the grand jury.

The city council chamber was turned into
school Of instruction in the rules and
practice Of the general law in relation to
municipalities, on Monday evening. The
meeting was called to order by members of
the council in order to attempt u break the
apparent deadlock between Mayor Sherwood
and the council on appointments. Mayor
Sherwood had insisted that his was the right
Of appointment and the councils the right
Of approval, but the council at least in the
matter Of the police, was finally convinced
that II had a say in the matter and proposed
to assert its right in appointing the police
force,
On this particular evening the police
committee was loaded with report on po-
lice recommending jeremiah Maher for
Asst, Marshal, and John Daily, JAS. Moloney
and Jas, w, Walsh as policemeni Asst.
Marshal's salary TO be sixty dollars and
policeman's Fifty dollars per month, But
the police committee saw a deep-seated
smile on the face Of Mayor Sherwood and
bided is time. The Mayor seemed to re-
coguze the fact that the time for the settle
ment of all question as to his power Of ap-
pointment had come, and after he and the
council had sat and eyed one another for
some time he stated his position. He said
that the power of the Mayor over the police
was in the same relation as the power of the
President Of the United States over the
army or Of the Governor over the National
Guard. lie could cal upon any one TO
assist him In time of trouble and vest such
person with police power, and might call
out Co. ID, if he thought the occasion argent
lie had received his commission from the
governor and by the general law was given
power to appoint all officers of the city not
elected by the people.
Mr.. Williamson called upon City Attorney
Madden for information upon the Asst
Msrshalship and the police
Attorney Madden read extracts from the
general law showing that the city council
might by a three fourth vote establish the
offices Of Asst Marshal, City Comptroller
City Collector, &C., and compared the gen.
eral law with the ordinance on police, show
ing that the police ordinance was void as far
as it established the power of the police
committee.
Mr.. Armstrong followed Attorney Madden
and said that the Mayor should surely be
privileged TO surround himself with his
friends, and that the law gave HIM the power
to appoint while the council could confirm
or not, as it chose
Mr.. Alshuler, of the police committee,
fred his police report but the Mayor ruled
lit out of order as he would attend to all
appointments himself.
Not having accomplished the object aimed
at, the c0uncilmen adjourned, but before
they left their seats Mayor Sherwood an
nounced that he appointed Vim. Osman &
Sons, as City Printer, and John DAILY, Jas,
Maloney and Jas. W. Walsh as policemen.
The meeting was harmonious and not SO
much bear dance as that of last week,

He Was a Rnnplar.

George Lynch, crook from Leland, who
was a witness in The Leland larceny case in
the county court this week, attempted to
play what he considered neat little conf
dence game on Il. II. Trask and A. Frank,
while awaiting his turn TO 80 on the stand.
He went into Trask's on Tuesday morning
and represented himself 10 be Thos, Lynch
a butcher at Leland. lie bought gold
watch and chain, and three rings, but said he
was out Of funds and expected one hundred
dollars from Leland by telegraph. Before
allowing him to take the goods Mr.. Trask
telegraphed the bank at Leland and finding
the credit of Thomas Lynch excellent, al.
lowed the man 10 take the jewelry. He then
borrowed Eve dollars of Trask, promising to
return it when he paid for the jewelry, but
came in again on Wednesday with an excuse
and borrowed three dollars more. On
Wednesday morning he went into A. Franks
and under the same representations attempt
ed to buy suit of clothing from Larry
Seaman. Larry has good memory for
faces and at once spotted the man as one
who had purchased suit at the store on o
former occasion and forged the signature of
McManus, the well known farmer, to note
which he gave in payment. Larry therefore
held him by honeyed words until the arri-
val of Mr.. Frank, who accused him of the
forgery. At this be left the store, but Mr..
Frank followed him and meeting Trask ex-
planned the matter. Trask at once rccog,
nized the man described as Lynch and catch
ing the fellow near the park, he was made
to disgOrge the jewelry and give Mr.. Trask
an order for thirty dollars on the estate of
his father, in payment for the suit for which
he had swindled Mr.. Frank on the former
deal. Lynch was lucky in escaping arrest,
for he made very poor confidence man.

The Knights of Pythias gave very nice
reception at the rink on Monday evening.
George Funk, one Of the biggest and best

assured The program opened with short
concert by Willis orchertra, after which
the Uniform Rank filed out upon the can

thew came to attention. Under the faithful
rays of the arc lights, the rich black br oad'
cloth uniforms, with silver trimmings,
the long dress swords and the cleaning
white helmets, topped with the blood red
plumes gave them ohivalric air that the
best appearing soldiery could not hope to
attain.
