SHE HIT HIM HARD.
BOW A WEST END GIRL TREATED
A BLACKMAILER.
He Put His Hand on Her Arm and She
Smashed Him in the Face-A
Wretch Who Should
Be Jailed.

Another story of attempted blackmail,
or something worse, came to the surface
yesterday, the victim in this case being
an estimable young lady living out OH
Union avenue, in the western part O:
the city, and the man answering to the
description of an ex-police officer.
The young lady is 18 years old, large
and strong, and is very much respected.
She went to Boyle Heights last Friday
night and attended social at friends
house. She started home about 6
O'Clock, being escorted to the cable cal
by brother of one of the county
officers. She changed cars at Second
and Broadway, taking the electric car
over the hill, on Second street, to reach
her home.
When she alighted from tbe car, near
her residence, man followed her and
accosted her, asking her if she knew
where there was carpenter.
She was startled at being so addressed
and replied stiff1y that she did not,
whereupon the fellow said that perhaps
her husband might know. She said she
had no husband, but was an unmarried
II want to talk to you,"
The young lady, now thoroughly
alarmed, said she did not want to talk
to him; that if he had anything to say
to her he could do 30 at her home.
Then the man said that he had seen
her coming out of questionable house
on Boyle Heights; that it was house
of low character, and he had seen man
put her on the car.
The lady was very indignant about
this reflection upon herself and her
friends, and expressed as much; but the
fellow said he must tell her that he be-
longed to the humane society, and there
were four of them who were seeking out
these low places and looking up the
people who went to them.
The girl started to get away from her
unwelcome assailsnt, when he laid his
hand on her arm. This was too much,
and the strong young woman hit him q
solid blow in Che face.
II thought you were lady," the un-
speakable wretch blurted out, staggered
by the blow, "but don't think so now."
II never did think you gentleman"
said the young lady, and started away
again.
Once more the fellow tried to seize
her, when she ran and escaped. The
assault was the subject of excited COM
ment on the part of the family, but they
remained quiet about it, dreading noto-
riety. The story has leaked out, how
ever, and it is probable that the fellow
will be brought to account.

BIG DAMAGE SUIT.

Mrs. Arcadia b. De Baker Wants $l55,-
705.26 From the Santa Fe.
The trial of one of the largest damage
suits in the history of the state began
yesterday afternoon in department four
of the superior court, before Judge Van
Dyke. II is an action brought by Mrs.
Arcadia B. De Baker against the South
ern California Railroad company for
$155, ,705.26 damages alleged to have
been done to her property, the Laguna
rancho, southeast of the city, during the
foods of 1889. 1t will be remembered
that the flooding of the Los Angeles
river during the winter of 1889 caused
an immense amount OF damage to prop
erty eouth and east of the city.
Mrs. De Baker claims that the dam
age done in the Laguna rancho resulted
from the manner in which the levee of
the Santa Fe company had been con-
structed. She claims that it was built
into the river bed 80 that it changed
the channel of the river, and caused the
overflow upon the lands owned by her.
The railroad claims that it was au-
thorized by the legislature to build the
levee, and that the work was executed
in a skillful manner. They contend
also that the damage, if any, was conse-
quental, and was caused by the unpre-
cedented and unusual floods of the win
ter of 1889.
The cause has been pending for a
long time, and has finally gone to trial.
The term trial jury was in attendance
during the afternoon, and some of the
counsel, but owing to the absence of
others in another court, the empanel-
ing of jury went over until this morn
ing. There are large number of wit
nesees to be examined, and it is expect
ed that the trial will last two weeks.
Messrs. Wells, Monroe & Lee, represent
the plaintiff, and Judge .Anson Brunson
and d. P. Hatch, the railroad company.

district court in the trial Of James w.
Murphy, charged with passing counter
felt money at Fresno Flats last fall. The
jury retired for consultation, and, after
celebrating for some time, announced
that they could not agree on a verdict,
and were discharged. They stood nine
for conviction and three for acquittal
from the first ballot, and the three
stood by their guns. The prisoner was
remanded to jail, after his second trial
had been set by the court for November
Sd. The verdict was a surprise to the
government counsel, as it was thought
an exceedingly strong case against the
defendant had been made out. He
seems to bear a charmed existence. If
he should be acquitted on the second
trial, it would be a repetition of his two
trials at Fresno upon the charge OF the
murder OF his former partner, Mckay.

The Consumers Gas Company of Terre Haute
Given Privileges by the Council.
Special 20 the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Dec. 27.-The City
Council tonight responded to the demand
of public opinion and passed the ordinance
granting a franchise to the Consumers
Gas Company on the terms asked by that
company. A week ago the Council adopt
ed amendments to the ordinance. by which
the company was required TO extend its
mains to any block adjacent to one where
mains were LAID, when four subscribers
asked for the gas. Another amend
ment stipulated that the price of ess
should never be higher than 80 cents q
thousnd feet. Both these amendments were
reconsidered and rejected, tonight, by O
vote of 10 TO 2. leaving the stipulation. as
TO price. that for five years 1t should be no
more than so cents. The ordinance gives
the city the first option to purchase the
plant at the cost price, with 6 per cent. in
ferest added.
The Consumers' Gas Company represents
1.400 citizens. who have signed contracts to
use the gas for five years. beginning at So
cents and never higher than 30 cents. The
company came into existence as the result
of q public meeting called on account OF
the proposal of the old gas company 10
buy the Citizens Fuel-gas Company, start
ed three years ago. and which has been
selling oil-made gas ut - Il "a. but which
has not been O profitable enterprise be-
cause the old company. having met the
price, retained it's customers. The con-
sumeTs' company has no immediate inten-
tlon of going into business. but wanted the
franchise to hold as n check on the two
companies. The old company o few days
ago raised the price TO sc cents and it is not
unlikely that the cItIzens' company will do
the same, but not before March.
