that Ii. l. Kowalsky had been arrested at
the instigation of one John w. Ingram.

not arrested and no warrant was issued for
my arrest" is Kowalsky's response to the
publication.
1t appears that Ingram attempted to cause
Kowalsky's arrest on charge of embezzle-
ment in connection with some legal trans
action regarding an estate, but Chief
Crowley refused to issue any orders for the
attorneys arrest.
Mr.. Kowalsky states that Ingram en-
deavored by this means to force him to pay
over money which he is holding pending a
settlement. Ingram, by the way, is the
same man who shot Supervisor Abbott sew
eral years ago and achieved some tempo
rary notOriety when his aged wife and fos-
ter mother died, leaving her property to
Dr. Junius l.. Hatch, resulting in a contest.

been filed in the Superior Court by w. II. L.
Barnes, who expects to be party plaintiff,
and Easterby defendant.
Easterby is President and manager of the
California Portland Cement Company,
which claims to own certain lands in Santa
Cruz County. Barnes subscribed for 800
shares of the company stock and paid the
first installment of $1,000 thereon. agreeing
that the money and stock should be de-
posted in Belloc d Co. bank, to remain in
escrow until he had paid the amount of his
subscription, $4,000, when the money was
to go to the company and the stock to him.
When Barnes subscribed for the stock,
Easterby represented that 5000 of the re-
quired capital was taken. Barnes now
charges that no part of that amount has
been paid, and that Easterby has converted
the $1,000 to his own use and refuses to re-
turn it, Judge Murphy has ordered that
