PROGRESSIVE CHINO.
The Big Factory Going Up and Beets
Being Planted.


Mr.. Richard Gird, OF Chino, came in
yesterday to attend the meeting OF
bankers. He is director in two or three
banks and vice-president OF one. He
says things are going along very smooth
ly at Chino. The walls OF the big sugar
factory are mounting skyward as rapidly
as brick and mortar can be put together
by big gang Of men. A large amount
of land is now ready for seed, and beets
are being planted by the hundred acres.
Six varieties are being put in according
to the nature of the soil. There is 80
great a variety of soil on the Chino that
planting may be done from February for
several months, and the harvest will
vary in date accordingly. So early
beets and late beets are being put in.
After a few years of experiment beets
will be forthcoming all the year round,
and there will be no dead season for the
plant. Mr.. Gird says his big steam
plow is doing well in the main. A weak
place breaks now and then, but it is
good for So acres day. Things are
done on big scale at Chino.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT MADE TO CON-
vICT AARON ABBOTT.
The Outlines of the Case-Released
On Bail.

1t will be remembered that several
days since Aaron Abbott, younger
brother of Billy, Johnny and Amos Alb
bott, was discharged on the charge OF
vagrancy, principally on the ground of
the tall swearing Of the witnesses called
for the defense.
Yesterday Aaron Abbott and Lottie
Miller were arrested by Officer Todd for
perjury. 1t is alleged that these wit
nesses swore falsely at the late trial.
Lottie Miller is young, frail and pretty.
The officers assert that Abbott has been
consorting with her for several months
past. Both Abbott and the Miller girl
swore on the stand that Abbott was
never inside of her rooms except when
there as wall paperer. On the other
hand, the officers say that Abbott must
have passed two months in papering the
room, as he was seen entering there
nearly every day for that length OF time.
The girl maintains that she has never
given Aaron Abbott any money. She
says, however, that when she first met
Johnny Abbott that he sold her some
diamonds for $400, and that when she
paid nearly the whole amount on them
that Abbott got the diamonds from her
on some pretext, and that he left for
San Francisco a few days afterwards.
Probably these are the diamonds that
Abbott lost in the double cross stud
poker game at San Francisco.
Aaron Abbott was released last even
ing on $4,000 bail, but the girl was
obliged to pass the night in the city
prison.
She cried very bitterly when she
learned that Aaron Abbott was released
and no attempt was made to get her out.

The proposition that the Los Angeles
District Telegraph company take charge
and conduct the alarm system of the
fire department for Sl450 per year came
in for considerable discussion. Commits
sioners Stern and Brodrick favored
making such contract. 1t was finally
agreed that the telegraph company fur
nish man to take charge of the system,
and that he be paid monthly salary of
$12l per month. II the arrangement
should not prove satisfactory, it can be
declared off at the end of any month.

A GREEN OLD AGE.
An Elastic Step and Erect Carriage
at SeventY-four.

at Scventy-fOur.
The day before yesterday a HERALD
reporter was standing on the corner OF
Spring and Second streets. A tall, we'll
formed gentleman with lady by his
side stood in front of the entrance to the
Bryson-B -Bonebrake block, talking to L.
w. Dennis, the real estate man. The
strangers back was towards the re-
porter, who was thereby prevented
from recognizing who he was. But
moment later the little party broke up,
Mr.. Dennis coming forward to speak to
the reporter, while the other gentlem an
with his lady passed across Second
street. AS the two passed, the scribe
happened to look up and at once recog-
nized the classic features of General
Sprague, of Tacoma. In moment
he had gone by, and as he was in the
company OF lady, it did not seem right
to cause the gentleman from the
Alki land to stop. But as he walked
down Spring street, his elastic step and
upright carriage attracted general at
tention. General Sprague is probably
"a years old, or thereabouts. He was
SAiAAACN VWCACy yCdIo dEO, Wucu Luo
writer first saw him up in webfoot, long
before he became one of the chief ad-
visors OF Henry Willard. But to the
eyes of one not acquainted with the
facts, General Sprague would look to be
a remarkably vigorous man, of about 60.
He is as straight as an, arrow. His
complexion is ruddy and sound.
His eye kindles with the en-
thusiasm of a boy. His step has the
spring of man in the first prime of
life. 1t is not necessary to go across the
Atlantic to pick up their Gladstones,
Bismarcks and Won Moltkes as exam
pies Of green and vigorous old age.
There are lots of such examples even
out here on the frontier, where the
times try the physical as we'll as the
spiritual makeup of men to the utter
most. Three men who bore conspicu-
GUS part in the development of Oregon,
and who are now pretty we'll known
here,, General Sprague, Captain G. j.
Ainsworth and Captain A. R. Thomp-
son, will do pretty we'll themselves as
examples OF green old age.

''It would seem that officers of the
law should obey the law" said well
known attorney to a Herald reporter
yesterday, ''yet one OF the most import
ant OF the county officials is living in
direct violation OF a provision Of the laws
of California.
"Who is the man ?" asked the re-
porter.
"District Attorney McLachlan is the
man."
"And what law does he violate?"
"a mandatory statute of the political
code; it is section 4ll9, and it reads as
follows:
Section 4119. The following officers
must reside at the county seat OF their

Yesterday was an exceedingly dull
one in the courts, not single case of
interest to the general public occupying
the attention of either of the six supe-
rior judges. No business was transacted
in departments one, four or six OF any
kind, and in department three Judge
Wade merely heard couple of motions.
In department two Judge Pierce OF
San Diego, sitting for Judge Clark, dis
posed of few probate matters, and or
dered judgment for the plaintiff in the
suit of B. f. Ball VS.. Susan M. Lewis ct
al, on action to foreclose mortgage on
lot Is of Balls subdivision of the Carr
tract at Pasadena. given to secure the
payment Of $4547 .56, to which no defense
was offered.
Judge Mckinley, in department five,
decided two appeal cases. The first OF
these was an action brought by Charles
H. Kimball of Santa Monica against
Constable II. s. Clement, for claim and
+. delivery OF a piano and some picture
frames, alleged to have been illegally at
tached by defendant on a writ of at
tachment issued at the instance of r. j.
Collins, grocer who sued May Enright,
woman residing at 201 Alameda street,
for $71 due for groceries, it being claimed
that the property was sold to Kimball
one day prior to the date on which ii
was attached. The court rendered de-
cision, affirming that of the lower court,
for the restitution Of the property, with
out damages.
The other case was that of A. S.
Moore vs.. M. L. Anderson and w. A.
Merrill, which was heard and submitted
a few davs ago, the court rendering a
decision in favor of defendants, thus
reversing that Of Justice Marshall, be-
fore whom the suit was tried. The facts
in the case are as follows: Anderson
and Merrill leased deciduous fruit or
chard of fifty acres at Glendale from
February l., 1890, to the following Janu-
ary, for $240 cash rent. with the addi-
tional consideration that the lessees
were to take care of Moore's COW and
keep the house and ranch in order, and
to cultivate the premises so far as af-
fected the permanent growth of the or.
.chard, according to Moore's wishes.
Defendants went into possession and
paid up their rent with unfailing regu.
larity, the last payment being made ir
August. The very day upon which he
received his money, Moore entered suit
against the defendants to oust them
from the ranch, claiming that they had
not cultivated the premises according
to his wishes.
