A Frivolous Charge.

J. Canton, who was charged with the
larceny OF watch short time ago, ap.
peared in Police Judge Stanton's court
yesterday as the complaining witness
against Mike Mullet. Mullet keeps a
cigar stand at No. Is West Second street,
and Canton charges that he has violated
the city ordinance relating to the pawn
broking business. He asserted that
Mullet was in the habit of receiving
pledges and loaning money without pay
ing any license to the city.
When the case came on for trial, yes
terday morning, Mr.. Canton had no wit
nesses to prove the charge but himself.
He narrated how, on recent occasion,
when he was very hard up, he went to
Mullet and borrowed $17 on his watch.
When Canton finally managed to raise
the money Mullet returned the watch
without charging any interest. As
nearly as the Court could ascertain this
wac the only pawnbroking operation in
which Mullet had INDUCED, and from the
gross ingratitude which he had received
he probably will be very slow to repeat
the experiment. He WAS discharged.

ORANGE COUNTY.
The Superior Court Hearing Argu-
ments ON Its validity.

Tho case which is to determine the
validity of the recent election held in the
southern section of Los Angeles county,
for the purpose of bringing about d.
vision OF the county, is still on trial be-
fore the Judges of the Superior Court
sitting in banc. The session began y s-
terday afternoon at 2 O'Clock and lasted
until after f. All the bench was present
except Judge Mckinley. The title of
the case is The People of the State of
California upon the relation of ]. A..
Graves VS.. w. McFaddep, A, B. Cald-
welt, j. W. Turner, j. X. Kellom and R..
g. Wickham. The defendants are the
commissioners who conducted the re-
cent election.
The afternoon was consumed in hear
ing the argument of Judge Hutton for
the defense. 1t dealt with the law of the
case, and was too thoroughly technical
to prove of much interest to the laity.
AS large part of his remarks consisted
of quotations from decisions, and the
reading of authorities, the argument
does not admit of readable synopsis.
The complaint had set forth the fact that
the Edwards law, under which the cleo
ton had been held, was contrary to the
section of the Constitution prohibiting
special legislation. Judge Hutton read
from the report of the proceedings of the
Constitutional Convention, endeavoring
to show that it was not the intention OF
the trainers of the section in question to
shut out such laws as the one under dis
cussion, which was special law under a
general provision. He devoted some
time to showing that a county could not
be regarded as a municipal corporation,
and that hence the law as applicable to
that class of organizations could not be
brought to bear upon it. The case will
continue through to-day.

An Unknown MAN at White Point.

quest on the body of a man who was
found drowned at W bite Point. Several
witnesses vera called, but the name OF
identity of the man was not discovered.
VIM. Schutt, a fisherman, said that Sunday
afternoon about o'clock he was in the
vicinity of White Point putting out his
nets. when he heard some people who
were camping further along the beach
cry that there was man out in the
waves. He and his partner went to the
place and saw the man about thirty feet
from the beach in thewater. They drew
him in and searched his clothes, but
found nothing by which to identify him.
From the condition of the body the wit
ness thought that he had been in the
water several days, perhaps four or FIVE

THE ACTON SHOOTING.
Testimony Taken Before the Jun
of Inquest.

VI
The verdict of the jury of inquest,
which was convened at Hebrewville,
near Acton, upon the body of Hugh
Boyd, brought in verdict Sunday even.
ing to the effect that boyd came to his
death by reason of a gun-shot wound, in
fiicted with a gun in the hands of Bob
Cam pbell, alias Three-Fingered Bob,
with intent TO commit murder" Three
Fingered Bob is now in the County Jail,
WHITTIER he was brought Sunday evening
by Deputy-Sheriff Wray.
The testimony taken by the Coroner
would go to prove that there was a
drunken fight, in the midst of which
both parties frequently threatened to
shoot each other, and that Boyd was
finally shot while going unarmed to at
tack Campbell, who was armed with a
gun.
L. Capers, Hebrewville laborer, tes-
titled that on the evening of Saturday,
the 9Th inst, he was going down the road
from the New York mine toward He
brewville with Jack Foley, when they
came upon Boyd and Campbell in the
middle of the road both under the in
fuence of liquor, and each using very
unpleasant language to the other.
Threats to kill were very common, and
at one time Campbell raised his gun as
if to carry out the threat. Capers sue
ceeded in getting the weapon away,
whereupon Boyd declared that he would
get a gun also, and he started off to
Tim Lyons house to see whether
he could find one there. In
few minutes he returned, but he was
still unarmed, as Lyons refused to give
him gun. Nothing daunted, however,
Boyd still went forward as if to attack
Campbell. The latter lifted his gun and
warned him off, saying: eff you come
any nearer I will shoot you." Boyd
came on, and Campbell fired two shots !;
one made the dust fly about Boyd, and
at the second he fell into the road.
John Foley told about the same story,
and Tim Lyons, who was somewhat
further away, corroborated several of the
details.
