as Evidence.

The Confession of Mrs. Pratt Admitte d
as Evidence.
OAKLAND. CAL, Oct. I'm the divorce
suit of George G. Pratt against Bertha
Pratt, his wife, whom he accuses of
illicit relations with L. L. Bromwell,
president of the California insurance
company, Judge Ellsworth today ruled
that the alleged confession of Mrs.
Pratt should be admitted in evidence,
and the confession was then read. 1t is
very lengthy, consisting Of several
Thousand words, and in it she
processes to tell of her meeting with
Bromwell. Her counsel claimed
that the confession was written at
the time of the trial of Pratt for shoot
ing Bromwell some months ago; that it
was designed to secure Pratt's acquittal
on that charge, and that it was obtained
from Mrs. Pratt by force, and therefore
should not be admitted in evidence. The
court overruled the counsel's objection,
holding that while influence was I'M
doubtedly used to secure the confession,
such influence did not amount to duress.
The affair has attracted considerable
attention from the prominence OF the
parties involved.

which stated Mr.. w. II. Rardon, of

positively refused to do and when asked
to come to Bakersfield and ship them on

ODD and shipped seven cars to different

sold for nv account, not being able to
make direct sales, and upon receiving
advice from consignees that potatoes

to Los Angeles on September 18th, tell
ing the Cinnamon that if the marke t
improved sufficiently to warrant future
shipments, l would return, but upon

were not only arriving in bad condition
but finding market that would not pay
freight, thereby compelling the railroad
officials to sell the stock to best advan-
tage, the balance OF the freight bills to
be paid by me. go,
II have not only paid all my bills at
Bakersville, out bought and paid for
one thousand sacks for the Cinnamon
at six cents each, and when Dom Castro,
the drayman, who was hired by the
Cinnamon, presented me with an order,
duly signed, directing noe to pay him
his bill for hauling potatoes, l promised
to pay him as soon as the amount had
been received from the proceeds of
sales,

would please a few of my enemies, one

Agent Rust Wants an Indian Tri-
bunal.
The trouble between the two factions
OF the Mission Indians still continues,
and Agent Rust takes lively interest
in the affair, says the Cotton News.
The latest squabble is over a cow,
which is claimed by an Indian OF each
faction. One Indian took the
COW from the other, and the agent
promptly arrested him and placed him
in she cooler.
Agent Rust is DESTROYS OF organizing
a court of Indian police to try the alleged
culprit, and he will review the findings
of the court.
The officers here say there is no law
which warrants the detention OF the
prisoner, whom the agent will not turn
over to the courts OF the county, and it
it is thought that writ OF habeas cor
pus will be issued and the Indian re-
leased.
An Indian court with Agent Rust as
Judge, Jury and executioner would GER
tainly be novel if not pleasant sight.

lie Vicomte de Santa Maria, in the
last number of LIE Progress, has an article
on DIR. Beaudennet, the physician OF the
French Society of Benevolence, whose
elopement on the 14th of September
with Basque girl was announced in the
HERALD at the time. The following are
extracts translated from the account:
Beaudennet never was a doctor, but
simply health officer, never having
passed his examinations. He arrived in
Los Angeles with his brother in 1889. :,
He was elected doctor of the
French Society of Benevolence in March,
1891. AS soon as he was at the head OF
the medical service of the French hos
pital he became intoxicated with sue
cess.
Some time after he became
acquainted with young Basque girl,
Madamoiselle Marie Cerramu, who
could not resist the charms OF TINS
medical Don Juan, and in spite OF her
26 years, she was frail enough to fall
into his snares. Finding herself IN
condition more than interesting, she
thought it best to hide her shame by
flight with her seducer. The poor girl
had with her when she left almost $500
and when she arrived in New Orleans
on the 18th of September, her com,
panion found means to take this and
abandon her on the street.
On the 23d OF September he sailed
from New York for Liverpool, and ii
now probably in Paris.

FIRE MATTERS.
Some Figures Regarding the Fire
Alarm System.

Alarm System.
The Fire Commissioners met this
morning in regular weekly session, there
being present Messrs. Kuhrts, Brodrick
and Stein.
Mr.. Summerland's motion in the
council to cause connections to be made
with Zanja No. l and Zania Madre to
furnish water for fire engines on various
streets, was referred to the chief, as also
were various motions in the council for
placing fire boxes at various points.
A petition of the property owners to
furnish better protection from fire in
the vicinity of Seventh and Mat 60
streets was referred to the chief
The chief reported on the plan of
putting in boxes at various points as
moved for by councilmen, that they
would cost $125 each, and the total cost
of the work would be $6,S50. 1t would
require seventy-three poles at "a each,
sixteen miles Of wire at 500 per mile,
ninety-six cells of gravity battery at
$1.30 with fixtures for each.
This would necessitate changing the
system into ten circuits, which would
be $500 additional. A new ten circuit
automatic register would cost $500 !;
the street boxes would cost $500, the
entire $6350.
Instead of this scheme the chief
recommends the districting of the out
lying precincts and the putting in OF
$25 boxes. In district No. l the pole
fixtures would cost $122. IA, and three
miles Of wiresand fixtures, $1OS.90 in
struments and fixtures, $l47; total for
district No. l, 1914.
District No. 2, 80 poles, $156, and fix
lures amounting in all to $46222; 81
miles of wire and fixtures, $2293O; in
struments and fixtures, $l47 total for
district No. 2, $685. 52.
District No. 8, IA poles, $50, and fix
lures amounting in all to $172.75; ia
miles of wire, $35, and fixtures, $63.O5
instruments, $l47; total, 1892 so.
District No. 4, SO poles, 1892 fixtures,
$791. 80; 10 miles of wire, 5000; fixtures,
$351.S0; instruments, $174.25 total,
$131735.
The cost of poles and wire is included
in the totals of the fixtures.
The total cost of this system would be
$3111.50.

The Farmers and Merchants Bank.

This reliable financial institution has
declared its quarterly dividend on it's
capital stock, at the rate OF Is per cent
per annum. The fourishing condition
of this dean of all our city banks is a
gratifying indication OF the healthful
condition of the business of Los An
geles. 1t shows that business is improv-
ing apace, when conservative financial
institution like the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank finds itself in position to
materially increase the rate of its quar-
terly dividend. This fact is also tribute
to the fitness of Mr.. H. w. Hillman to
take his brothers place in bank which
stands at the very front of the great
banking institutions OF this state.

been thoroughly schooled in crime, which
he would have learned from association
with convicts inside the prison walls,
