TRIED STARVATION.
A Soldiers Home Inmates Adventure
with a Stomach Pump.

A Soldiers Home Inmates Adventure
with Stomach Pump.
Jesse Carter, the hospital patient from
the Soldiers home, at Santa Monica,
who was brought up to the city several
days ago for examination before
Iunacy commission, was sent back to
fSae home last evening, after short con-
linement in the county Jail. The fact
was discovered after Carter's arrival in
this city that he was not at all insane,
: but was making deliberate attempt at
suicide by starving himself. All efforts
TO make him eat proved fruitless up to
yesterday, which was the ninth day of
his fast. Last night consultation was
held at the county jail, and it was de-
cided to make him eat whether he
would or not.
Accordingly stomach pump was pro-
cured, and Carter having been securely
tied down, the tube was inserted into
his stomach. The other end OF the
pump was then connected with two
pints of appetizing beef broth and the
whole was transferred into the would-be
suicides interior in short order. On
top of this Carter was given fine "egg
hip'' as dessert, and he was then al
lowed to get up. A night train took
him back to the home, and it is now
probable that he will decide to eat as
often as Governor Treichel sees fit to
feed him.

yard, and finding Francis out locked
and barred the entrance. Francis came
along later and called in the assistance
of Officer Harris and smashed down the
gate. For this both Francis and Harris
were arrested on an order from Judge
Shaw.
Yesterday, to get even, Francis took
out complaint against Blackinton for
perjury in swearing to the complaint in
the ejectment suit, which he alleges to
be false. Blackinton, who is we'll
known veterinary surgeon, was arrested
on warrant from Justice Stanton and
released on bonds.

AT the meeting OF the board OF super
visors yesterday morning, set OF reso-
lutions expressing sympathy for the
children OF County Auditor Howe in
their bereavement were unanimously
adopted.
Yesterday being the day set for the
consideration of the petition of Capt.
John Cross for franchise for an electric
railway along Mission road, from the
city limits OF Los Angeles to the city
limits of Pasadena, protest was pre-
sented against the granting of the petit
ton, signed by Samuel B. Kingsley and
nineteen others, and the whole matter
was continued for further hearing till
September Sth. Without transacting
further business the board adjourned.
A special meeting was called for last
evening to elect successor to the dead
auditor, but for some reason it was not
convened. Samuel Maclay, a son of
Senator Maclay, of San Fernando, is
prominently spoken OF to succeed Mr..
Howe. In fact, his is the only name
that has been suggested SO far. Mr..
Maclay has already filed petition
with the supervisors, signed by the
requisite number of freeholders, for mis-
appointment. He will undoubtedly be
the successful man and will be named
as soon as the board returns from its
trip to Ell Monte, tonight or tomorrow.
MI. Maclay, it will be remembered, came
within few votes Of getting the nomi-
nation for auditor at the last Republican
convention, and soon afterwards entered
the assessors Office as deputy.
The sheriff will have control OF the
auditors Office, under the direction of
the supervisors, until Mr.. Howes sue
cessor qualities.
