KOWALSKI HELD.
A SAN FRANCISCO DRUMMER GETS
IN THE WRONG ROOM.
He Is Charged with Attempting to Rape
Perris Girl = The Young Woman's
Story-The Drummer Held to Answer.

Readers of the HERALD will remember
reading some days ago an account OF an
alleged attempt to violate the person of
girl at Perris by J. N. Kowalski, a
San Francisco drummer. The New Era
of Perris of the I'd contains the following
account of the examination
The examination on behalf of the
People VS.. j. N. Kowalski, which oc-
Cured before Justice Moore last Satur-
day, resulted in the defendant being
held to answer in the superior court,
bonds being fixed at $1,000. The testi-
mony OF the young lady was that she
was awakened by a man in her room
who placed his hand on her breast and
made indecent proposals, which she re-
jected, at the same time pushing him
away and ordering him to leave the
room. She testified that she recognized
Kowalski by his voice and the offer of a
pair of shoes he made Che was travelling
for shoe house). He left the room
after being ordered out three times and
the young lady went up stairs and
awakened the landlady with whom she
remained until morning. Mr.. Kowalski
testified that he was writing orders in
tine office during the time the alleged
assault was made, but never entered the
girls room or saw any one else do so. He
heard no noise or outcry save the open
ing and closing of door during the
evening, between IL and 12 O'Clock.
Circumstances point to case of mis-
taken identity, as the testimony of the
young lady and the accused was plain
and apparently straightforward. The
young lady has resided in this valley for
a number of years, and her character is
above reproach. Mr.. Kowalski also
bears good reputation, and is one of
the most popular commercial men on
the road. 1t is not likely that case
will ever be made out against him, but
in our opinion the evidence given at the
examination warranted Judge Moore in
holding the defendant to answer.

SAFE BLOWERS.
They Make a Good Profit From a
Nights Work.

\ ANiSAI VsOihs
Just before daylight yesterday morn
ing the safe in the soda water factory
OF w. H. Stoll & Co., at 500 Commercial
street, was blownsopen. The operators
got away with several hundred dollars.
The work was apparently done by no.
vices. At all events, they made bung-
ling job OF the operation, and showed
that they were not up in the profession
of safe cracking, still they Jared all
right as they succeeded in getting away
with something like $500.
The explosion made terrific racket
and aroused the people living in the
neighborhood. 1t was soon found out
that the safe in the soda water factory
had been blown open. In fact, the side
of the building had been blown out.
The explosion caused several cases of
carbonated beverages to burst.
Notwithstanding the terrible noise of
the explosion and the bursting OF bot
ties, the operators did not hasten away
until they gathered up the money.
Several people living near by say they
saw three men rushing away soon after
the explosion. The implements used in
drilling the safe are in the hands of
Chief Glass. They are very crude in
deed. A couple of men have been ar
rested on suspicion, and the detectives
are working up evidence. The soda
water people think that man who was
seen hanging around Thursday afternoon
is the leader of the gang. This man
pretended to be under the influence OF
liquor.
No difficulty was experienced in get
ting into the factory, and in view OF
that fact it was carelessness to leave so
much money around.

GOOD INVESTMENT.
Eager Buyers Taking Stock in the FL
sinore Irrigation Company.

SAAoAS AiAASasioh ScilipdAys
The present issue of stock OF the Lake
Elsinore Irrigation company is being
rapidly taken by conservative investors.
The fact that the enterprise is endorsed
and participated in by such we'll known,
reliable men as Hon. J De Barth Shorb,
f. @. Howes, cashier of the Los Angeles
National bank, S. V. Landt, Gervaise
Purcell, the noted civil engineer, is one
which naturally carries much weight.
There are no adverse features about the
enterprise; the title to the lake is per-
feet; it is supplied from watershed
consisting of over 1900 square miles; it
is located at such an elevation as to be
able to supply thousands upon thous-
ands of acres of land, simply by grav-
ity flow, and it is in the center of an
enormous area of the finest kind of land,
which cannot get water supply from
any other source.
The directors meet on Tuesday, when
the books will be closed. The stock is
being SO rapidly taken that it is doubt
full if single share will be left on Mon
day afternoon. Mr.. s. V. Landt, the
general manager, whose office is in the
Wilson block, on the second floor, has
been kept busy during the past week
taking applications for stock.

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Proceedings of Yesterdays Meeting of
the Directors.


the Directors.
The regular monthly meeting of the
board of directors of the Los Angeles
public library was held yesterday, with
Directors Howard, Severance and Dob
inson present.
The librarian, Miss Kelso, reported
that the circulation of books for the
month of June was 1884 volumes, and
769 new books added.
The reference department, which had
been opened on the 10th of June, had
been highly appreciated by students,
55S persons having made use OF the room
since the opening.
The board OF education had turned
over 1921 volumes of the school library,
100 volumes OF which are too much worn
for circulation.
The library was made entirely free on
the 1st of July, and the registration of
members was going on at the rate of
100 per day, the call for books being so
great as to tax the resources OF the Ii
brary.
The usual monthly bills were. audited
and passed, and the board adjourned.

CROWDS OF PEOPLE.
The City Filled Yesterday With Wis

The streets presented very gay ap-
pearance all day yesterday, notwith-
standing that it was trifle warm. The
country girl and boy were on deck and
enjoyed the gala appearance of the busi-
ness portion of the city. An enormous
crowd will visit Los Angeles today from
all over Southern California. Quite
number of city folks, as usual, will visit
the seaside resorts in order to miss the
terrible racket of the fre-crackers and
bombs. The small boy was in his ele-

prospects are the Fourth of 1891 will be

The life Of the mission Indian maiden
Is not altogether a happy one, especially
II she is pretty, judging from the fate
which befell a comely daughter Of the
tribe at Mesa Grande recently, says the
San Diego Union. A letter received
here from one Of the most reliable resi-.
dents of that district relates Q thrilling
and harbarous incident. The CORE.
spondent says:
'1n the autumn, after harvest Is over,
the Indians hold this fearful orgie-hu-
man sacrifice. Each clan by itself, at
the burial place OF It's " tribe, gathers
In from all the country round and pro.
ceeds to brighten away the evil spirit by
offering a human sacrifice to the gods.
the sacrifice always consisting of the
most comedy young maiden belonging to
the clan. This was practiced here re-
Gently. In this case it was a young
girl IL years Of age, whose race was
nearly as white as my own and whose
tresseS would have graced the head Of a
queen. She has been attending school
at m OF the white schools Of the neigh
borhood for several years, and Is as we'll
educated as the average country maiden
OF that age as far as school books 60.
''But alas, when at home she Is In that
hotbed OF vice, the Indian rancherie. and
all the outside influence counts for
naught in counteracting the pernicious
influences which surround her there. A
huge fire was built and the usual pre-
liminaries OF %grOaning, chanting, fat
footed stamping and all that sort Of Jug
glery that Is common on such occasions
was gone through with in extra fervor
on this occasion, and while this was in
progress the fire had burned somewhat
and lost Its ~iercest heat.
"When 1t reached this stage q huge
pile OF very green brush Is brought and
thrown upon the fire, making the most
binding smoke you can we'll imagine,
and while this Is at its height the maiden
is bound, q blanket IL thrown over the
smouldering green brush, and amid the
most demoniacal cries and shouts she Is
thrown thereon, and the whole mad
crowd vie with each other In piling brush
over her until. In this case, 1t was as
high and broad as q squatter's cabin. OF
course all this brush is green, and Is not
calculated to cremate the girl, but only
to corne as near to 1t as they dare. The
smoke is enough to XIII anyone but an
Indian, and II the pile should blaze up,
as green brush sometimes does, nothing
car save her from instant death. It was
a terrible scene, and all this in the midst
Of a civilized community that is con-
stantly contributing to foreign mis-
sions."
