"ARMoR" FOR ATHLETIC GIRLS
Demonstration That Corsets Are Help
to Women's Development.

In a recent series of athletic feats in g
young ladies' seminary in England, says
Chatter, the opposing sides were taken
by the girls with stays and the girls who
wore no stays. The girls who were for
titled with that extra garment won the
tourney, at least they claim the victory.
This is what witness writes in an
English paper:
"The high jump was won by the
'armored' ones, and the high lump. of
all things, is about the only event, or
rather an event, in which the corset
would seriously interfere.
''In the tug of war, which fell to the
'unarmored' ones after long struggle,
one of the successful side strained her
self rather seriously (Which, by the way,
caused great merriment among the
'armored' warriors), and / am rather in
clined to think such thing would never
have happened if the young lady had
been armored.
eff the sixteen competitors again
went through the same trials, but this
time vice versa-viz., the different sides
to change, the 'unarmored' ones to
buckle on armor, and the others to
throw it off am quite sure the result
would be the same, so sure am that
the corset is no impediment."

FOUGHT FOR THE LADIES.
A Car-Driver Who Takes Exception
to Slanderous Talk.


Yesterday morning it was reported
that about 8 O'Clock Jimmy Talbot, a
driver on the Secondstreet car line, ad-
ministered something of thrashing to
Fred Downes, who drives a watering
cart on the Vernon line, and as conse-
quence he was arrested for battery later
in the day.
1t was near the Wolfskill depot !;
Downes was driving his cart along the
track, when Talbot called upon him
to stop. He demanded to know
why Downes had been speaking in dis
respectful terms of the two ladies who had
accompanied the car driver to recent
ball on Center avenue. Downes under
took to drive on, paying no attention to
his inquiries. Thereupon Talbot
sprang upon the sprinkler and pulled
him down. The horses became fright
ened and started off, but Talbot ran
and stopped them. He then came back
and had a few rounds with the driver of
the cart, and according to the account
given Of the affair used him up pretty
badly.
Talbot was arrested in the afternoon
on charge of battery.

of Mr.. Goldsworthy the state announced
that the only remaining witness they
had was not to be found, and the de-
fense was instructed to proceed with it's
case.
A number of old-time residents of So
noma and Ventura counties were called
and examined by the defense as to the
reputation of the defendants for peace
and quiet. and in every in
stance they testified that it was
good, more especially when ques-
toned about Chormicle. After about
dozen of these witnesses had been
called, the court stated that the defense
had reached it's limit with regard to
character witnesses; but one of the at
torneys for the defense asked to be al
lowed to put a few more residents of
Castac on the stand, as altogether some
seventy or eighty witnesses had been
subpenaed for the defense, and the court
granted the request. Six more were
called, and they were unanimous in their
statements regarding the good reputa-
tion of the defendants.
George w. Brockwell, a farmer, who
had been a minister of the gospel for
fifteen years, was next called, and told
d louS SJOIy VI u QudTTcl DebWtcH O.lOI-
micle and Jenkins, which occurred about
some cattle on January 18th last. Wal
ton and Dime were there with several
others of the Jenkins faction, while sew
eral of Chronicles friends were present
at the same time. The witness pro-
duced about fourteen pages of manu-
script, which, he explained, contained
notes of the conversation which took
place there between the rival parties.
He stated that both Jenkins and
Walton threatened Chormicle and
offered to fight him with pistols
or any other weapons he chose. The
wrangle lasted from O'Clock in the
morning until IL 80 o'clock almost con-
tinuously. The witness held the gate
open before Jenkins came up, while
Chormcle and his friends drove band
of cattle off the land claimed by the
latter; but after the quarrel the Jenkins
outfit drove them back again, reopening
the gate to do so.
The cross-examination of the witness
was commenced just before court ad-
journed for the day, and will be resumed
this morning.

EXPERT BILLIARDS.
The Exhibition at the Pavilion Last
NIGHT


Jacob Schaefer and Frank G. Ives, the
worlds champions OF the billiard table,
arrived in this city yesterday morning
and took up their quarters at the Nadeau
hotel. AT O'Clock last night they gave
an exhibition at the pavilion, the in
terror OF which had been arranged in the
form OF an amphitheater, so that the
table in the center could be seen from
any seat in the building. In spite of
the worldwide reputation which both
men have as GUESTS, the attendance was
not such as might have been expected,
not more than 800 spectators being pres
ent. There was a very fair sprinkling of
the fairer sex among the audience, and
the ladies apparently evinced as much
interest in the exhibition as the en-
thusiasts around them.
The first event on the programme was
game of straight rail billiards, 400
points up. Schaefer led off, but missed
his second shot, and Ives started off with

BEATEN AND ROBBED.
Two Men Assault "One-Armed Pete"
and Escape.

anu Escape.
Early yesterday morning the robbery
of Jean Pierre Deville, known as Zone
Armed Pete" at San Antonio, about
three miles south of Boyle Heights, was
reported at the sheriff's office, and sew
eral deputies were sent to investigate.
They found that Pete had been badly
beaten, and that his assailants had evil
IDENTIFY attacked him for the purpose of
robbery. According to Pete's statement
he came to Los Angeles on Tuesday to
transact some business and returned to
his home about s O'Clock in the evening.
As he left his wagon and stepped to the
door of his house to put away several
parcels he had purchased, he was con-
fronted by big man, who struck him
on the head with big revolver he
held in his hand. Pete showed
fight and grappled with his assailant,
who was joined by an assistant, who also
brought his revolver into use, and be-
tween them they beat him into uncon-
sciousness and then searched his person
and house fer valuables and money,
overlooking two watches. Pete, who had
his nose broken, his scalp gashed in sew
eral places and his ear badly cut, tainted
from loss of blood and was found early
yesterday morning by a neighbor who
was in the habit of delivering milk to
Pete. Medical aid was summoned, and
it was decided to move Pete into the
French hospital, where he will be given
proper care. The nearest house to Pete's
is 800 yards away, and the people resid-
ing there heard no noise. The deputy
sheriffs found tracks leading from Pete's
house to the river, but no clue that will
lead to the discovery of the men was
found

under the top cushion. Ives only made
3, but Schaefer broke down after adding
more to his score, and the young Ma

the bottom cushion and ran up 190 In
short order, breaking down, however, at
an easy shot Schaefer added more to
his score, and Ives 2 and 3, the former
failing to tally at his next attempt. Then
Ives missed an easy shot, apparently
purposely, and Schaefer took advan-
tage of the leave to the extent
of four caroms. Ives only man
aged to secure next time.
and left the balls, with the result that
the "Wizard" ran up 63 as fast as the
scorer could call them out. Ives still
maintained his lead, and added 8, and
Schaefer put on Is more; but the
younger man piled up Al in his next
run. Schaefer only made II in his
next three attempts, and Ives but 3.
This was followed by Schaefer's making
two runs of 20 each, and runs of 54 and
by Ives; and then the Wizard" let
himself out, and nursing the worries on
the bottom cushion he ran out with an
unfinished break of 172, Ives's score
being 1926.
The table was then marked, and IL
inch bal1 line game of 250 points up
was played, Schaefer again winning with
ease at the finish. The score was as fol-
lows: Ives--0, 2, AZ, IS, 1S, SO, 10, 25,

THE CASTAC CASE.
The Defense Commences With Its
Testimony.

ne OcItlSe Commences WlCu ACS
Testimony.
The Castac trial was resumed before
Judge Cheney and the jury in depart
ment of the superior court yesterday
morning.
AS soon as court convened, the defense
stated that Judge B. 7. Williams, of
Ventura county, who had been sub
penaed as a character witness, was
anxious to return home, and asked that
he might be called out of order. The
request was granted and the Judge stated
that he had known the defendants inti-
mately for fourteen years; had visited
their homes frequently, and was familiar
with their standing in the community
as to peace, quietness and integrity. He
said it was good. The judge was not
crOss-eXamined.
Sheriff Riley was recalled, and stated
that on the morning when he went to
the house where the defendants were
stopping, he noticed that Chronicles
face was much swollen and that some of
his beard had oeen pulled out. He told
how it occurred. He had often seen
him and was perfectly familiar with his
appearance. His beard could not have
been pulled out in that manner by run
ming through the bush or by falling upon
stone.
John Goldsworthy was called by the
prosecution, and stated that by the di-
rection of the board Of supervisors, at
the request OF the district attorney, he
visited the scene of the shooting and
took a complete survey of distances,
etc., to be used in the case. The wit
ness then produced chart, the various
points being pointed out for the in
formation of the jury.
Upon cross-examination the witness
stated that he was at the scene Of the
shooting two days, and stopped at the
house OF w. w. Jenkins, and that Dime
and George pointed out the different
points to him.

STRUCK WORK.
The Cooperative Laborers' Association
in Trouble.

1t appears that there is small war
going min the camps of the Cooperative
Labor Union which came to head yes
terday at noon. 1t will be remembered
that number of laboring men formed
an association for the purpose of taking
some of the contracts for building sew
ers to be let by the city. Since that
time bids have been sent in by the asso-
citation for every contract that has been
to let The bids have been sent in by
two members of the association in their
own names as representatives of the CO.
operative company. One contract was
secured, that OF eXcavating the trenches,
laying the pipe and filling section of
the Arroyo de los Reyes main sewer on
Flower street. These contracts were
made out in the names of the
two representatives of the cooperative
company, the arrangement being, so it
is stated, to transfer the contracts to the
company after they had been obtained.
The members of the company went to
work with q will and have completed
over one-half of the hardest part of their
work, but up to yesterday at noon the
contracts had not been assigned to the
company, although it is said that the
two representatives had been frequently
requested to do SO. Yesterday at noon
the men at work concluded that their
contracts should be turned over to the
company before any more work was
done, and they quit their labor 1t is
stated that they took this step because
they don't intend to finish their work
and let some one else draw their money
The contract will either be turned over
to the company or else it's terms will be
unfulfilled, in which case the money
cannot be collected upon it. 1t is proba-
BILE that the difficulty will be adjusted
amicably today, and the work 60 on.

Mining and Scientific Press.l
Notwithstanding all the predictions

ing 1000 stamps dropping with =
monthly product of $4,000 ounces,
there are only IS mills with 900

The big English syndicates that
were to reap such fortunes must be
much disappointed. There has been
more stock gambling than mining,
and the 100 companies operating
there have made very little money.
