THEY WERE THERE,
BUT MR.. SYKES AFTER THE BAN
QUIET SIMPLY SAID GOODBYE.
How a Lot of San Diego County Gulls Were
Fooled-Mr. Sykes Gets Fine Supper
and Gives No Prizes.

Jim Sykes is an old man who has been
working the credulous people of San
Bcrnardino and San Diego for some
time. His last exploit is chronicled by
the San Diego Union as follows:
Jim Sykes has suddenly become prom
inent as the man wanted in three places
at once. Chief Coyne has heard from
San Bernardino widow whom Sykes
swindled. A lady and several others at
Coronado had a somewhat similar ex-
perience with him two days before the
election; and now comes a story of mis-
placed confidence from the lee of San
Miguel mountain. that isyouched for by
b. F. Maskey OF this city, and by CORE
spondent from the same neighborhood.
The old man recently appeared in that
vicinity seeking employment, and was
referred to Mrs. Gendy. When she in
dicated her willingness to set him to
work the man observed that he had not
labored for seventeen years, and did not
propose to begin it. He subsequently
called at the Greenleaf ranch in the
guise of capitalist. After some bar
gaining he agreed to pay $40, 900 for the
property, and the same day arranged to
to another. Mr.. Sykes felt so satisfied
about these bargains that he engaged
Mr.. Greenleaf to prepare supper for
about fifty persons, regardless of ex-
pense. While no money had yet been
paid on account to hold these deeds,
the visitor gave it out that he
intended to assist ranchers of
that region in need of money by distrib-
uting $4,000 among them in amounts
ranging from $500 to $50. This was to
be presented at the close of the banquet,
precisely at II O'Clock at night. The
ranchers we've promptly ON hand, and
their enjoyment of the good things was
materially heightened by the anticipa-
ton OF Mr.. Sykes sintended munificence
Sykes kept them waiting till five min
utes before 5 a. M, when he arose,
picked up his hat, and with an elaborate
bow and Good evening, gentlemen, he
vanished into the cafion's gloom. A hasty
pursuit was made by the amazed and
indignant guests, but no trace of Mr..
Sykes could be found. A reward of $500
for his apprehension is now posted on
the Jamul schoolhouse and postoffice.

voted women to relieve the wants and
alleviate the sufferings of the needy.
The good and prominent ladies', repre-
senting almost every religious denomina-
ton in Los Angeles, who have thus zeal
ously banded themselves together to
help the poor and friendless, the desti-
tute strangers within our gates, irrespec-
tive of creed or nationality, richly de-
serve the cooperating assistance OF the
community at large. In the prosecution
of their noble work of mercy among the
lonely and the afflicted, they depend
wholly upon voluntary contributions of
money, clothes and other necessaries of
life. AT this inclement season of the
year especially they are beset with more
applicants than they can relieve; their
resources, always small, are exhausted,
so that they are now constrained to
make an earnest appeal to the public
for aid to meet the most pressing cases
of distress. The annual report of the
president, whose name alone is guar
antee of intelligent and faithful admin
istration, published i'll the HERALD a
few days ago, shows that the Ladies'
Benevolent society is daily engaged in
labors of practical good in our midst.
At the approach of the gladstone tide
of Christmas, when generous hearts
throughout the world are moved to acts
of charity, this self-appointed, single
handed mission of benevolence to our
unfortunate neighbor, commends itself
to the sympathy and support of all our
people. A. 2. DIETZ.

LOCUST WIELDERS.
YESTERDAYS PARADE AND IN
SPECTION OF THE FINEST.
The Police Force Put On Their Sunday
Best and Show What They Know
About Drilling and Marching.

AT IL o'clock yesterday morning the
last regular monthly inspection of the
police force for the current year was
held, on Third street, between Hill
street and Broadway, in the presence of
Messrs. Bryson, Collins, Dexter and
Lewis, of the board of police commits
sioners, Chief Glass and large number
OF interested spectators.
Every member of the force, except the
twelve officers on active duty at tn e
time, was in line, and the sixty-fve
men who were drawn up at
attention when the inspecting party
arrived, presented very creditable
appearance. Sergeant Jeffries was in
command of the rifle corps, composed of
eighteen picked men, armed with Win
chester repeating rifles, while Sergeants
Fletcher and Morton were in command
OF the forty-one patrolmen, the six
mounted men and the patrol wagon.
Every man was attired in his full dress
uniform, and a cleaner looking body of
men it would be hard to find.
Captain w. G. Roberts, who was in
command of the whole squad, put the
men through number of military ma
neuvers, which were executed with
promptness and steadiness highly cred
liable to both the men and their drill
master. The rifle corps is especially de-
serving of mention for the manner in
which it went through the manual of
arms.
AT the close OF the drill the men were
formed company 'front.'" and while at
parade rest" listened to brief compli-
mentary remarks from the commission
ers. Mr.. Bryson's remarks were espec
tally commendatory. This being his
first inspection since his long illness, he
expressed great surprise in the progress
made by the force and complimented
them highly upon their general appear
ance. He said Los Angeles now had
better police force than for ten years
past and hoped the men would continue
their interest and ambition. He also
complimented Chief Glass for his inde-
fatigable efforts in bringing the force to
its present high standard. The other
commissioners followed in the same
strain.
The force then marched down Third
to Main, thence to Temple street, thence
down Spring to the station. The men
attracted the attention of everyone along
the line of march, and many business
men were heard to pass complimentary
remarks on the general efficiency of the
body and the officers in charge

She Wants Her Husband Arrested for
Disturbing the Peace.

Mrs. Maria Brizzoleri, rather elderly
woman from sunny Italy, yesterday
swore out a complaint against her hus-
band, Georjio Brizzoleri, for disturbing
the peace. Mrs. Brizzoleri states that
her husband has abused and threatened
her until life has become burden.
The complaining witness left her hus-
band, but upon promise of his reform
she allowed him to relocate with the
family on New High street. Brizzoleri
cut up. his usual antics and will, no
doubt, be given chance to explain his
conduct in the court.
