THE TAX COLLECTOR
Not Afraid of Withdrawals From His
Bond.

"The report that ] have in any way
avoided service of any papers upon
me by an officer of the law is false.'
This was the remark that Robert S.
Platt, county tax collector, made to a
HERALD reporter last evening. Mr..
Platt states that he had been in the city
all along; that while it was true that he
had not visited his office on Saturday,
he had been at all times ready to accept
notification that one of his bondsmen
had withdrawn as one of his sureties.
"Have you been as yet notified that
L. Bxiby has Withdrawal from your
bond?" was the next question asked
by the reporter.
"No l have not" said Mr.. Platt.
'But if the gentleman desires to with
draw he is PRIVILEGED to do so. If the
enemies l have expect to secure my
office by prevailing upon my bondsmen
, to withdraw from my bond they are
mistaken. l can play at that game as
long as they want to, and l will win
i'll the end unless | am sadly mis-
taken"

been a remarkably brilliant one, with

the excellent bathing, have made it the
most memorable of the season. Yester-
day there was goodly number of ex-
cursionists who came down and enjoyed
themselves in every way imaginable.
The surf, which is the chief attraction,
was literally patronized.
In the afternoon the excellent concert
on the esplanade was the chief attrac-
ton.
Go where one would, on beach or bluff,
in the various resorts, there was sure to
be seen group of business men earn
estly discussing the wharf news, and the
various new enterprises about to be in
augurated for the upbuilding of the
town. Last week there were eighteen
sales of realty and there will be twice
the number this week.

strollers upon the beach the following
were seen: H. V. Wattell, w. F. Nord-
holt, j. M. Crawley, Robert Hamilton,

reveled in the good things the ladies had
prepared for the occasion.
G. T. Webber has returned from his

Los Angeles herald., 1890-09-01

James L. Noel for seven or eight wears
has resided in this city; he kept liquor
store and saloon on Main street, and is
supposed to have made a great deal of
money. He married in Petaluma in
1873 and has a family of two children.
Mrs. Noel is now in San Francisco where
she has recently filed a complaint
against her husband asking for divorce
and alimony.
Mrs. Noel alleges in her complaint
that she was compelled to leave her hus-
band on account of his brutal treatment.
So violent did Noel become when under
the influence of liquor that on one occa-
sion his wife was compelled to take her
children and spend the night in the
barn. At another time she slept in a
bath-tub and covered herself up with
old clothes.
Blows and kicks were accompanied
with vile names and epithets applied to
the wife in the presence of her children
and friends, and contributed to cause
her great bodily suffering and mental
anguish.
Leo Lilienthal is made co-defendant
with Noel, it being alleged by the wife
that her husband had transferred to him
property in this city valued at $4,000 in
OTueT W prevent ner from obtaining all
mony. She asked the court to set aside
this assignment on account of fraud.
Noel in his answer denies all the allie
cations of the complaint, and claims
that Mrs. Noel's mind is deranged.
The case came up in Judge Rearden's S
court in San Francisco Friday on mo-
tion by the wife that she be allowed $3.50
a month alimony $500 counsel fees and
$50 costs pending the trial of the action
In an affidavit she set forth that Noel is
a prominent liquor merchant in Los
Angeles, which, in connection with GER
tain valuable real property, yields him
an income of $500 per month.
In a counter affidavit Mr.. Noel sets
forth that owing to business reverses he
had been compelled to assign his busi-
ness and property to j. Leo Lilienthal
and Lilienthal & Company, to make
good an indebtedness. His present in
come he claims to be but $50 month,
which he receives as manager of hotel
in Porterville. He admits the Joint
ownership between himself and wife of
homestead in Los Angeles valued at
$4,000.
On this showing Henry Ach, Noels
attorney, asked Judge Rearden that the
motion for alimony should be denied,
but the Judge took a different view of
the matter, and ordered that Mrs. Noel
should receive $55 month alimony.
The further hearing of the case was
continued indefinitely

solidate. / told the Atchison people was will
ing TO combine all our respective properties

cepted the proposition and cannot say If they

Company was about to buy the transconti-
mental route Mr.. Huntington said the Standard
Oil Company had made no offer to buy 20 the
Southern Pacific. mo one else is trying TO
buy that am aware OF, as our figures are too
high"
BosroS, Nov. 13.-Mr. Frederick Ames saws
he knows nothing about reported dissa tisfac tion

seen Mr.. Gould for six months and does not
believe Mr.. Gould ever said what was
