Saturday and Sunday last respectively
The complainant alleged that the de-
PENDANTS came to her house on the 10th
day OF April last, but, after being there
only three days, Mrs. Tracy disappeared,
and it was subsequently learned that she
had been to the County Hospi al to be
confined. During his wife's absence
Tracy paid the first months rent, $40,
but had never paid any since, and when
he was asked for it he became very
abusive.
The defendant, John Tracy, was ex.
amined on his own behalf. He denied
the whole story as related by Mrs. Full
Ter, aud stated that he was not present
when the milkman came on Saturday
morning, but that Chinese vegetable
man came during the forenoon and
Mrs Fuller told him not to leave any
food for 'those paupers," whereupon he
turned to the Chinaman and said,
"Never you mind that old woman, she's
crazy" He stated that he had paid up
all his rent from the 22d of April last,
with the exception of So, which was due
on Monday last. He had asked for re-
ceipts, but was unable to get them, as
Mrs. Fuller could not write. He further
stated that he had cautioned his wife not
to have anything more to do with Mrs.
Fuller than she could possibly help.
Mrs. Tracy corroborsted her hus.
bands testimony in every detail, and
the Court dismissed the case.

Small Damage Salt.


Justice Lockwood and a jury were
occupied nearly the whole of yesterday
in the trial OF civil suit, in which Reu-
ben Williams appeared as the plaintiff
and George Schroeder as the defendant.
The action was brought to recover of and
from the defendant $29S as damages,
which Williams alleged he had sustained
on the 9th day of March last, through the
negligence and carelessness of the de-
fendant. He asserted that on the day in
question he WAS standing at the intersec-
tion OF Fifth street and the grounds of
the new depot of the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company, when Schroeder, who
was driving large omnibus drawn by
two horses, negligently allowed the team
to knock him down and trample on him,
in addition to which the vehicle ran over
him. By eason of this he sustained inju-
ries to his linn BIS and body, both thum bs
and wrists being sprained, and his shoul-
der, back and legs being badly bruised,
wounded and cut. He was incapaci-
tated from attending to his business, and
expended $l39 for medical attendance
during the time he was coufned to his
bed on account of his injuries SO re-
ceived. The defendant claimed that the
whole affair was an unforeseen accident,
which could only have been avoided by
the defendant himself, who must Ger.
tainly have seen the vehicle approach
ing, but who persisted in crossing in
front of it.
The jury, however, after brief delib.
Grafton returned into court with verdict
for the plaintiff for $125 damages and the
costs of suit.

ScOtt,s Trial.

Yesterday in the Superior Court, De-
partment 6, before Judge Mckinley, the
lawyers spent the day presenting the
case against Charles Scott, charged with
the murder of Anna LIE Brun. At 4 80
the case was given to the jury. They re-
NAMED cogitating on the matter until 10
O'Clock last night, when the Judge called
them into the court and inquired if they
were likely to agree. The foreman stated
that he did not think they would ever
agree. In answer to an inquiry from the
Court the foreman stated that they
stood eight to four. One of the
jurors, an old man, created some
interest by asking how many it took to
render verdict. The Court stated that
in criminal case the jury must be unan-
imous to find verdict. 1t is probable
that the jury stands eight for acquittal
and four for conviction. Perhaps the old
man is one of the four and had an idea
that if nine would convict he might ex.
perience change of heart and get home.
rhe jury was then locked up for the
night.

Residence.

Residence.
A we'll. known citizen of Los Angeles,
Colonel Robert G. Flournoy, died at his
residence on Hill street yesterday after
noon about 5 O'Clock. He had been
troubled for some time with neuralgia of
the heart, but no serious danger had
been apprehended. Monday he was at
his office at work. as usual, but yesterday
be found himself unable to leave the
house. His physician called on him
several times during the day, but the
death, when it came, was sudden and
quite unexpected.
Colonel Flournoy came to Los Angeles
seven years ago from Louisville, Ken
tucky. He was native of Bourbon
county, Kentucky, and made his way
out to California before the war broke
out. When the news of the rebellion
came TO the Coast, as his sympathies
were with the Confederate cause he re-
turned to his native State and WAS put in
command of regiment. He was in the
battle of Shiloh and several other con-
f1icts during the war. After the failure
of the rebellion he retired to Louisville
and began the practice OF law. On ac
count of the illness of his oldest son he

Away From Los Angeles.
During the past year and half a great

the great realty boom, folded their tents
like Arabs and incontinently stole away
These exiles from the semi.tropics have
now wintered and summered in the
frigid-torrid East, and have a good op-
portunity to take stock of their feelings.
MFR. W. G. Krutz, Jr., an energetic young
real estate dealer in Los Angeles, ls re-
ceiving great many letters from these
truant wanderers from the earthly para
disc. 1t is astonishing how nearly all
these letters agree on one point-that is,
that the writer's all desire and intend to
return here at an early day.
Mr.. Krutz states that from the tenor
of these communications he looks for the
return of great number of these people
this fall and winter. And that is quite
natural result OF having lived here and
gone back TO the East. Ever since the
days of the Argonauts it has been ever
thus. Those who tired of the Golden
Coast and betook themselves to their
former haunts on the Atlantic seaboard,
or in the States of the Great West, soon
become disgusted with their surround
ings and incontinently hasten back to
the land of eternal sunshine, and of per-
ennial flowers.

A Notable PtCttaFn.

The attention of people who happened
to paes through the lobby of the Nadeau
Hotel yesterday was arrested by large
oil painting, which hanes on the east
wall. During most of the day small
crowd stood inspecting the picture, which
was generally voted to be one of excep-
tional merit. 1t is the work of
a young artist, a resident of Los
Angeles, J. q. Borglum. 1t bears
the title of "Staging in California" On
mountain road curving around ledge
above deep chasm, six horses at a
gallop are drawing an old red coach. In
the left, one may look away into the
mountains for miles, and the effect OF
distance, the mellow haze of the atmos-
phere and the spring softness of the SIX les,
are excellently done, The artist has
succeed ID in capturing an atmospheric
effect peculiar to this section and climate.
The work is one which in every way
merits the attention which it receives.
