"Times" Newspaper Thrown Out.
EDIEBURGH, Feb. 6.-The Edinburgh
Court has rendered a decision in which
it holds that it has no jurisdiction in
the action tor libel brought by Mr..
Parnell against the London Tim IS. The
court has, therefore, dismissed Mr..
ParnelPs action with the cost of APP
peals. The judgment was rendered on
the ground that Mr.. Walter was only
one of a copartnery, owning the Times.
and consequently the arrestments
made against him as an individual
were invalid.

ANGIE HARCOURT.
She Seems TO Have Been n Willing
vfCtlnm.

She Seems to Have Been n willing
victim.
Some weeks ago quite q sensation was
stirred up over the arrest of Joe Ellings-
worth, the pug, who was charged with
criminally assaultipg a young girl named
Angie Harcourt. The girl told story to
Mrs. Watson, of the Girls Home, and
Mrs. Watson went before the Grand
Jury, which indicted Ellingsworth,
charging him with rape. Ellingsworth
was committed to the County Jail, where
he has been for five weeks.
Yesterday the trial came off, and
Deputy District Attorney Hardesty put
the girl on the stand. Briefly her tale of
woe was to the effect that she met
Elhpgsworth and they went to saloon,
where she drank several glasses of beer.
From there they went to a notorious
house OF ill-fame. Here the girl
INDUCED in more beer, and then she and
Ellingsworth retired to a room he had
procured, and they went to bed for the
night. She confessed that in all they
did she was a party, and willing one.
The prosecuting attorney said: "That's
all "and acknowledgements counsel said |:
do not know if the attorney for the
people wishes to go on with this case or
not" Mr.. Hardesty seemed at last to
"tumble" to the significance of the situa-
tion and the logic Of the facts and threw
up the sponge, Joe winning the care.
The jury did not leave their seats to find
a verdict of acquittal.

Magician Hermann at the Los

Magician Hermann at the Los
Angeles.
Hermann, the great and only of his
kind, made his re-appearance III the city
last night at the Los Angeles Theatre.
To fill the Los Angeles Theatre all that is
necessary is that first class attraction
be assured the people. This playhouse
was filled to overfowing in all it's parts
last night. All the boxes were crowded
and SO were both the galleries.
1t will not do to think one has seen
Hermann before. There is little that
he does now that he did year ago. All
his tricks are new. and they are as far
beyond his old time performances as
those were beyond anything seen here
before. Marvel after marvel follow of
90 mysterious nature that they puzzle
the mind of the most experienced man in
the audience. It is all wonderful. The
cremation act is perhaps the most won
dsrfui series G: illusions ever attempted.
The house is sure to be filed all the rest
of the week.

LOCAL MELANGE.
A Big Market Building to be
Constructed.
NoRDHOLDT ESTATE CONTEST.
Angie Harc0urt Testifies SO as to
Release Ellingsworth-Other
Interesting Events.

Major E. w. Jones and Hervey Lind
Icy propose in the near future to erect q
couple Of large buildings, side by side,
making practically one edifce, on Fort
street, between Sixth and Seventh, in
the st. Vincent property. 1t will be
used for markets and for the armory of
the Seventh Regiment of the National
Guard.
A meeting was held yesterday at which
number of the intending lessees con-
ferred with Major Jones and Mr. Lindley
and discussed the plans for the building.
These have not been quite completed as
yet, nor has the elevation been made.
The size of the two sections of the build.
ing has, However, been determined.
Major Jones' half will be 125 feet
front by 80 feet back, and Mr..
Lindley's 81 feet front by IA feet
back. This makes a total frontage of
1872 feet. The height will be As feet
The portion built BY Mr.. Lindley will be
three stories and that of Major Jones will
be two stories. the upper part being of
double height, to admit Of the con-
structlon of the large hall for drill pur-
poses.
The building will be built of brick and
iron and will be finished in style to do
credit to any locality in this city. The
lower floor will be occupied by general
market. Provision has been made for
fifty stalls. On the upper floors will be
the main drill room Of the regiment, the
company rooms and the apartments OF
the officers.
Work will begin on the building az
soon as arrangements are completed.

SOME ANCIENT HISTORY.
The Contest for the NOrdhOldl
Property ON First Street.

The Contest for the NOrdh0ldt
Property ON First Street.
Yesterday was taken up in Judge Van
Dykes court by the trial of the case of
Alvarado against Nordholdt. In this
contest the heirs of one of the old-time
Alvarados, of this section, sue the heirs
Of the late Nordholdt for an interest in
the property lying along the northeast
corner of Main and First streets. Nord-
holdt bought the property in 1856.
The scene in the court yesterday was
interesting, as witnesses were called who
had lived in Los Angeles forsupwards of
half century. There were men of the
native race who had been here longer
but there were many Americans present
as witnesses whose testimony shows that
they have resided here continuously for
from twenty-five to fifty years. Among
those put on the stand were j. J..
Warner, Dan Scheick, 81. w. Osborne,
J. P. Moran, Theo. Frohlinger, Louis
Mesmer, W. Fl. Workman, O..
w. Childs, G.. W. Robbins, Jacob
Johansen, U. Kramer, Louis Eb-
niger, H. W. Hellman, K.
Messer, s. Lazard, Mrs. Marie Gates,
Mrs. Gorgonia Reyes de Ward and L.
Leck. Many of these have been in Los
Angeles for upwards of thirty years,
some of them from forty to fifty years,
and Don. J. J. Warner for more than
Atty years.
There were Vigilance Committees in
the land in those days, and it looks as if
old man Nordholdt had been OF the num-
ber of plucky men who made it un-
healthy for the bad man of those times.
In an old book, under date of November
21, 1868, is record to the effect that on
that day the committee had hanged
three Americans and two Mexicans.
A great array of legal talent is engaged
in the case, s. M. White, R. A. Ling,
Captain Edgerton and others appearing
for the Nordholdt heirs, and ]. r. Scott,
F. Fl. Howard and others for the Alvar-
ados,

area Of fine land. Doctor Cotter states
that the settlers are good deal exercised
at the proposition to limit q pre-emption
claim under these systems Of irrigation to
be developed by the Federal Government
to forty acres of land. A good deal
of the land in question below Yuma
has been taken up some time. The
impression prevails that in 30 remote q
place 100 acres of land is the least that
will justify settler making the necessary
It may be that 16O-acre
claims would make it harder for land
grabbers than 40 acre claims. At the
higher figure great many bona fds
settlers might go in and take up the
land. whereas If 40 acres will not justify
a family settling there, then the whole
territory will be left open for the land
thieves to grab by means of dummies.
