HOW KITTY ESCAPED.
She Was Saved from Wedding the
Man She Did Not Love.
A Heroic Young Clerk Carries Off
the Prize-What Dame Gossip
Says About It.

The clerks and other employees of the
the Nonpareil store were surprised yes
terday morning when Ed Farmer-also
an employe there, and who had on the
previous afternoon been excused from
work on the ground of illness-walked
into the store with blushing country
lass on his arm, whom he introduced as
his wife.
OF course he was congratulated-even
by the proprietors.
But none of the clerks could remember
of having heard Ed speak much of
matrimony, and chided him for being $50
mean as to keep it quiet.''
Dame Gossip of course had to find out
all the details and distribute them broad
cast. She rolled her eyes, and related
how young Farmer had only been ac-
quainted with the young lady ne married
Miss Kitty Hall of Mayhew's Station-a
few days. And it could hardly be called
case OF love at first sight, either. 1t was
little short of an elOpement
1t appears from the story set afioat that
Miss Hall was one OF those dear creatures
who are tortured in every yellow back
novel that is sold-she was the daughter
OF stony-hearted father who demanded
Ihat Sne wed certain 'haySeed" young
man (whom she loved not, or be dis
owned. So the story goes. Then enters
the hero IN the person Of the sympathetic
young clerk. They become acquainted,
she tells him her tale of woe, and he vows
he will save her-he will marry her him
self. And he does. He procured a mar
riage license at the County Clerks Office
Wednesday afternoon, when his employ
ers thought he was home fighting Off the
ly performed, and all was happiness with
them.
Yesterday morning young man, who
tallles, so Dame Gossip says, with the de-
scrlption given of the stony-hearted
parents prospective son-in-law, called at
the County Clerks Office and inquired if
anybody got license to marry Kitty
Hail." When informed that Kitty was
another's he went away with set teeth
and fiery ewes.

CONTRADICTORY TESTIMONY
y Typical Chinese Case on Trial in the
Sunerior Court.

y Typical Chinese Case on Trial in the
Superior Court.
The trial of Ong All Foon, charged with
attempting to murder All Dep over year
ago, was resumed before Judge Catlin
and jury yesterday. The case was
partly tried two weeks ago, but owing to
the illness of A. L. Hart. counsel for the
defendant, it had to be continued.
The testimony taken yesterday was for
tho defense, and, as is usual in Chinese
cases, was directly in contradiction of the
OF the case began to grow more and more
mixed and complicated, the jurors began
10 perspire and look uneasy.
The prosecutions witnesses were all
positive that All Foon was the shooter,
and Police Officer Wilson testified that
Foon, when arrested, acknowledged his
guilt.
But this did not phase the witnesses for
the defense in the least Some of them
were eye-witnesses, and were positive
that Foon was not at the scene of the
shooting at all. Ong All Ock, very To-
ouacious heathen, told in glib manner
how he had witnessed the shooting, and
running over to where the wounded man
lay, heard the latter say, "Ah Hong shoot
me-" several times.
Gang Long, look out" at Fong Sings
gambling place, was another eyewitness.
and cOrroborated Ock's story.
Shortly after the shooting of Dep a
Chinaman named All Linn was arrested
for the crime, but, as the developments at
the present trial show, he was released
from custody and declared by Dep to be
the wrong man upon the payment of Sl25.

NEW CITY CHARTER.
The FreehoIders Meet and Organize
for Work.
Committees Appointed at Yesterdays
Mesting-Next Week They WIN
Set Down to Business.

The Freeholders recently chosen to
frame charter for the city held their first
meeting yesterday afternoon at the office
of Robert /. Devlin. Thirteen of the fif-
teen members were present, and were
sworn in by Notary w. I'll. Deylin. They
were: Robert t. Devlin, j. ii. Roberts,
Hugh M. LaRue, Clinton L. White, G.
L, Simmons, S. b. Smith, n. Greene Cur
tbs, Matt. f. Johnson, w. f. Knox. Jr.,
G. II. Hubbard, Christopher Green and
II. Weinstock.
On motion of S. B. Smith, the Chair
appointed committee of five, consisting
of S. B. Smith, Clinton L. White, Christie
pher Green, Robert T. Devlin and II. M.
LaRue, to present the draft of a perma
nent organization.
On motion of G.. l.. White n. Greene
Curtis was chosen temporary Chairman
and W. II. Devlin was asked to act as
temporary Secretary.
The committee, through its Chairman.
reported that they recommended Robert
Il. Devlin as Chairman of the Committee
Of OfFreeholders, Christopher Green as Vice
Chairman, and Lincoln White as Secre-
tary, and the report was adopted.
Clinton l.. w hite suggested that the
City Trustees be asked to pay the ex
penses of one of the Freeholders to visit
Los Angeles and the other cities that
have recently adopted new charters, with
a view to inquiring into the workings
thereof.
The matter was discussed at consider
able length, and finally it was decided,
for various reasons, not to make the pro-
posed request Of the Trustees.
Messrs. White, Green and Smith were
appointed a Standing Committee on
Ways and Means, whose duty it will be
20 wait on the City Trustees from time to
time and acquaint that body with the
needs of the F'reeholders in the way Of
funds to meet the expenses incident to
their labors.
There was also appointed a committee
of five on Order of Business, consisting
OF Messrs. LaRue, Johnson, Weinstock,
Devlin and White. This committee will
report to the board at next Wednesdays
meeting an outline OF procedure to govern
the board in its work.
The Freeholders held a long discussion
of an informal character relative to the
work to be performed. Some advocated
the taking up of the present charter, the
elimination of its objectionable features,
the amendment of other provisions to
conform to present and future needs, and
the addition Of new clauses. Theamend-
Inent OF the present charter, it was held,
would be more acceptable to some citizens
than the proposition to frame an entirely
new one.
1t is likely that, at the next meeting,
various subcommittee will be appointed
to prepare different portions of the char
ter, and that a general idea Of the scope
OF the work will be outlined.

q Grocery Firm Internationally Vio-

Yesterday Constable Brissel, accom-
panied by II. G. Ewing, drove up to the
grocery store of Fabian Bros, at Ninth
and streets, and bought a flask OF
whisky for two bits. Then he went to
Justice Henry's court and swore out a
complaint against the firm for selling less
than quart of liquor without having
first obtained special city retail license
to do so.
The Messrs. Fabian gave a bond for
their appearance to answer the charge
They explained that they We're ignorant
Of the fact that the city ordinance differed
from that of the county, and that its
meaning of the sale of liquor at retail is
tlat the same must be drank on the
premises" They say they had no idea
fhey were violating any ordinance.
Ewing says he was asked by the Con-
stable to join the latter in a ride, and that
after Brissel purchased the liquor he no
titled him EWING that he would be re-
ouired to testify to the act.
The saloon men evidently have their
