Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-30

Miss Latta was reclining upon sofa
reading, and upon learning the nature
of her visitors business she coolly de-
manded and perused the warrant, after
which she rose and went into an adjoin-
ing room, presumably to change her
dress. Hearing a noise as of bottles
jingling, the officer followed his prisoner,
and as he entered the room saw her
throw something, which she took from
her medicine case, out of the window.
He at once climbed through the window
and found an instrument ON the roof of a
low building underneath. On return
ing through the window he found Miss
Latta fumbling with bottle of NOR
phine, which she was extracting from the
case, and seizing the case and its contents,
he informed her that she must at once ac-
company him. She then betrayed
nervousness for the first time. but soon
recovered, and after locking up her
rooms, left the key with neighbor and
was escorted to the county jail
Miss Latta, who is buxom brunette
of rather prepossessing appearance,
about "a years of age, appeared to feel
her position very keenly when seen in
the woman's department of the jail last
night, and refused to make any state
ment whatever about the affair. When
questioned by the reporter, Miss Latta
turned quickly away from the grated
door of her cell with the remark: ''It is
too late for me to receive this evening""
Mr.. Swanton appears to be completely
prostrated with grief at the death of his
wife, to whom he was deeply attached.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-30
HE WAS A STRANGER
And Was Taken in at the New Or
leans House.

AND was AIKEN IN at the New Or
leans House.
Con. Stone, very black and likewise
unsophisticated negro, arrived here from
New York via Tucson on Monday night.
He was on his way to San Francisco but
having become very tired travelling for
several days, it struck him that night
off in Los Angeles bed would tone him
up. Stone wandered away from the de-
pot toward the center of the city, until
he reached the New Orleans house, on
Second street below San Pedro. There
he concluded to camp, and for that pur-
pose hired a room from the proprietress,
a Mrs. Dupuy.
1t was II O'Clock Monday night when
he retired and it was O'Clock Tuesday
morning when he woke up in the small
inside room where he had been slowed
away. During that period a remarkable
change had taken place in his fortunes.
Whereas he had arrived with a sack con-
tanning $27 so and a ticket to San Fran
CISCO upon his waking up he was liter
ally without sack. A sneak thief had
entered the room through the hall WIN
dow and relieved him OF all his earthly
possessions. He made his complaint to
the landlady, but she was disinclined to
listen to his story, and as he had no
more money he was treated with but
scant courtesy. Finding that the New
Orleans house would afford him no re-
dress he had to seek lodgings at the
police station, where he unfolded his
tale Of woe and was given supper and
lodging last night. Stone is an ex-
United States soldier, who served five
years in the Third cavalry regiment.

IROQUOIS BRAVES
Condemn Unholy Methods of Carrying
Elections.

Elections.
The Iroquois Club held large meet
ing in the spacious club rooms on First
street last evening. After approving the
minutes of the previous meeting, the
club elected six new members and in
itiated five new members. Four pro-
posals for membership were received
and referred to the proper committee.
The picnic committee made it's report.
which showed fattering result in the
clubs favor.
The ''Herald" Endorsed.
The committee on resolutions, through
the chairman, J. H. Melville, handed
in the following resolution:
WHEREAS, The HERALD OF this city, a Demo
cratic journal which has never failed to give
voice to the best impulses of Democrats,
and to champion the faith of Jefferson
and Jackson with unseltsh energy and
ability has been assailed for giving expression
to the righteous indignation of respectable
Democrats at the character OF the late primaries
held in this city to elect delegates to conven-
ton to be held at San Jose on the 10th proximo;
and
WHEREAS, The scenes of repeating which
were perpetrated at those primaries were un-
precedented in their indecency and enormity
and were calculated to bring the blush of shame
to the cheeks of all true Democrats; and
WHEREAS, The only way to arrest such fla
grant violation of the rights of citizens is
through the medium of an honest and fearless
press;
RESOLVED, That the earnest thanks of the Iro
quois Club of Los Angeles is extended to the
HERALD for its manly and outspoken course
and that this club is surprised that the recent
so-called investigation held on Saturday after
noon was not directed rather at the frauds
which were practiced at the primaries than at
the journal which dared to denounce outrages
which were instigated by money procured from
some source, and which was most lavishly
used, as was apparent to every citizen
Upon motion the resolution was unani-
mously adopted, and was ordered
spread on the minutes and copy or
dered furnished the press for publica-
ton.
Mr.. Melville stated that quarters in
the Downey block had been secured for
the purpose of aiding the registration of
Democrats.
A committee, consisting of Dr. Rich
ard Millar. Emile Quarre and Terrence
Cooney, was appointed to aid persons in
obtaining their naturalization papers.
The committee can be found at the
Iroquois club-rooms from 10 to l2 am,
and | to 4 D. m.
A committee, consisting of the chair
man, Judge Reddick and T. J. Cuddy,
was appointed to wait upon the county
clerk to have members of the club given
representation on the outside precincts.
The advisability of having a grand
open meeting was discussed for while,
and the chair appointed Judge Reddick,
Ed. Gibson, Henry Kearney, D. J. Nc
earthly and r. Grant as a committee to
report on the proposition at the next
meeting.
The club then adjourned to the read
ing-room and dispatched the case of
wine which they won in the tug-of-war
contest against the Republicans at their
'fOutinp ,,
