A BIG GAMBLE.

How n Livery Stable I'm Pasad en
was Lest and Won.
A case has been on trial before Judge
Van Dyke which is peculiar to remark.
able degree. ]. A. Crosby and Eugene
Gilman owned livery stable at the
Crown of the Valley. Business was bad
and there was only scant living for one
and starving for two. The young men
decided to pitch horse.shoes, in the
manner of pitching quoits, the winner tc
take the whole stable. Crosby won and
Gilman lost. The winner sold half in-
terest to Decker, and went on with the
work. Then Gilman weakened about
the disposition he had made of the prop
erty, and brought suit to recover the
same. At the close of the trial yesterday
Judge Van Dyke read the whole outfit q
lecture. He said In substance
II am amazed at the defendant
allowing such a transaction to
come into court. 1t must have
been apparent to all that the transaction
between the parties was worse than a
sham. and that the defendant Crosby
had tried to take an undue advantage OF
the plaintiff" Leaving out the gambling
feature of the transaction, the Judge said
as there had been no delivery of the bill
of sale, there was in law no sale. Col.
r. B. Treat, who appeared as counsel for
Crosby, made a statement in which he
said that the evidence produced was as
great surprise to him as it was to the
Court, and that he had not been given
all the facts by his client.
The Court gave judgment for the
plaintiff.

Miss Anna Fuller.

This lady will appear in grand concert
before our people on the evening of Feb
ruary 25th, at the Los Angeles Theater,
assisted by some of our best home talent,
amongst others, Carlo Modini and the
Hungarian orchestra. Our German citizens
particularly ought to avail themselves of
this opportunity, as Miss Fuller stEdied
under Madame Artott in Berlin. She
has acquired the German language and
is very enthusiastic over the Germans
and German art. We are informed that
ct least two Of her numbers at the COM
ing concert will be in German. From
Berlin Miss Fuller proceeded to Paris,
where che placed herself in the hands OF
that great prima donna of former years,
Madame La Grange, and by her advice
and teaching Miss Fuller will adopt the
operate stage for her public career. In
TACT, Miss Fuller has about completed all
arrangements upon her return to sing
Aida in the great opera house of ola
Scala, J" in Milan. Madame La Grange
assures Miss Fuller undoubted success,
and as this will be the last opportunity
our citizens will have to hear this gifted
singer for many years, when she hopes to
return to us q full crowned queen Of
song, We hope all lovers of art will be at
the theater on the evening aforemen-
TONED to greet her on her bon voyage.

Postal Orders.

E. A. Preuss has issued the following
circular son or about November l
1889, a new Government postofice station
will be established in this city, to be
known as Station G, and will be located
in the Pico House. Money orders will
be issued and paid, letters registered
stamps, stamped envelopes and postal
cards sold, and letters, papers and pack
ages can be mailed. A limited number
Of postofice boxes will be provided, and
business men desiring to secure one
should leave notice at the main Office as
early as possible. No boxes will be
transferred, but box holders in the main
office, if they desire, will as far as posi-.
BILE be given the same number at the
station. Box holders at the main office
who desire to change to Station 9 will
have to pay an additional box rent at the
station for the balance of the quarter. To
facilitate delivery, box holders in Station

THE LEVEE.
The City Engineers Report OF
Needed Repairs.

The City Engineers Report on
Needed Repairs.
The City Engineer will report as fol-
lows tomorrow in the Council:
"The estimate of the cost of the cut on
Buena Vista street, figuring on the basis
of 30.foot cut at Rock street, was
$54, S01.50. This estimate included The
cost of grading and the damage to prop.
erty. 1 estimate the cost of doing the
work with 2O-foot cut at Rock street at
$45, 1868. so, or So, 23S less than for the 80
foot cut. This estimate includes dam
ages to property as in the former one."
1.-THE number and location of the wings
necessary to protect the approaches OF
the city bridges is as follows: 1t will re-
quire three wings north of the Downey-
avenue bridge in order to protect it's east
approach, three wings north of the
Kuhrts-street bridge to protect its east
approach; one should be placed north of
Kuhrts street to protect the levee on the
east side of the river. This will make
seven in all that the city should build on
the east side of the river. On the west
side of the river the levee of the railroad
company extends about fifty-6ve feet into
the official bed of the river, and is in a
very bad condition. The company should
be required to repair this as soon as pos
sible in order to protect the west ap.
proach of the Kuhrts-street bridge, as
well as its own property and the prop
erty Of private parties adjacent to the
river. There is also weak point
in the levee just north of the
Southern Pacific, railroad bridge (Yums
branch) and one just south, each of
which should be protected with wing.
One wing is needed north of the Also.
street bridge to protect the west approach
of the same two wings are badly needed
between Also and First streets to pro.
tect the levee and west approach to the
First-street bridge. Some sheet piling
also should be driven along the west
levee north of First street. This l con-
slider very urgent as the entire west
approach of the First-street bridge is in
danger. The number of wings that the
railroad company should be required tc
build is five, making in all for the city
and railroad, twelve wings. This
makes no provisions for the protection
of the Seventh and Ninth-streets bridges
These bridges are not in danger at the
west approaches. and we cannot protect
the east approaches this winter, as there
is no levee on that side of the river south
of First street."

himself one of the finest residences in
the city on the corner of Figueroa and
York streets. A community is
more than ordinarily benefited when
it secures a citizen 80 public-spirited,
wealthy and of such wide experience
as Mr.. Klockke.
Dan Mcfarland, whose residence is on
the corner of Figueroa and Dana streets,
came here few years ago from Ohio,
and during the active times since has
been one of the most prominent figures
among our people, showing wonderful
genius for business, all his undertakings
proving more than usually successful.
He is largely interested not only in the
oil production of Southern California, but
in Redondo, Ofland and quite a num-
Der OF our most substantial
enterprises. Such genius for business
must make itself felt in Southern Cali.
fornia.
Mr.. Fred Eaton is native son of this
locality, and is now the City Engineer,
whose latest achievement is the build.
ing of the Burdick block, in which is
situated the National Bank of California.
He is a man Of very fine attainments in
his profession, man with many friends,
and held in the highest esteem by all
who know him.
w. G. Hughes, the cashier of the bank,
has long been a resident of California.
He has for some time been with the
Bank of California, and later in charge
of the large interest in this part of the
State OF Mr.. Bacon, of the old and once
prominent banking firm of Page & Bacon.
He is man highly respected by all who
are fortunate in knowing him, as a gen.
tleman of strict integrity and honor.
Perry Wildman, the assistant cashier,
lately came from Arizona, and, after a
succ ,ssful business career, in company
with his wife made a tour of Europe for
health reasons; but after looking over its
most select localities, returns to this city
to make his home here, believing that in
everything that makes life worth living,
Los Angeles is the best place. Mr.. Wild
man brings to his new profession ripe
experience as successful business man
and with bis many warm friends and his
genial manners, promises to be YER
valuable member of the board.
A bank starting with such corps of
managers must have successful career.
Without making any odious comparisons
it is safe to say that no bank in the State
has 30 experienced directory as the
National Bank of California. So far az
thorough experience, strict integrity
perfect success in past u Undertakings, and
abundant means to carry on their pre-.
sent enterprise goes, the new concern
starts out with every possible guarantee
of success.
As was said at the start, when men
like these come into a city and make sc
great venture as this it's prospects must
seem bright to them, and surely with
their large and varied experience they
cannot BIZ deceived.

SUSAND'S WILLS,
hAs FORMER Testament was
Favor of ErauL Ev

HIS Former Testament was In
Favor of Frank Ely.
The question of admitting the alleged
will of o. L. Susand TO probate occupie d
all yesterday in Judge Clark's court.
The principal event was the putting of
the Voudoo priestess, Mrs. Laura E
Sample, on the stand. She told how
Susand came to her house. She was q
medium and gave advice on business
matters. 1t was she who told Susand
not to rent the Earl B. Millar building.
She did this in her capacity of fortune
teller. She narrated how Susaud came
to her house and took paper from his
pocket. He then took out cigar. which
he lighted. Then, with the match
he yet fire to the paper in his
hand, which he told Mrs. Sample
was his will. He had changed his mind
about it. and it did not suit him at thai
time. So saying, he set fire to the docu.
ment, placed it in tin plate, and
watched it slowly burn. This was abou,
month prior to the date of the paper
offered by Mrs. Susand for probate
This was given to her near the end of
Jauuhry VI tul5 year. SuSauu came 10
her house and gave her package OIL
papers. He did not state what it con-
tanned. He told her to keep it until be
called for it, and to be careful of it as il
might do her good some day. When
asked by the officers if she had a will
she said che had not; she did not know
this was will she had been given
Afterwards when opened it proved to be
a will, and she offered it for probate
Her daughter, a girl of IA or Is, corrob
grated these statements in all minute
particulars.
During the afternoon Captain George
G. Knox was put on the stand. He
stated that he witnessed will of Susanc
made in 1882. He read it all through a,
the request OF Susand. He then signed
| it as witness. 1t made Frank Ely, if moi
the sole legatee, the principal one. Il
made Ely executor Of the will, too. 1t il
alleged that this will was identical ir
expression and terms with the one nov
offered for probate, with the exception
that the last clause of the will now ir
existence did not appear in the one de
stroyed. That is the clause which givet
Mrs. Sample $1,000.
The case was submitted on briefs, thu
decision to be handed down hereafter.
