DAMRON BOBS UP AGAIN.
THE ERSTwHILE REPUBLICAN LEG
IsLATOR AGAIN IN TROUBLE.
The Father of His Pretty Typewriter on
Hunt for Jim the Penman-Mrs.
Damr0n Brings About o
Lively Episode.

Yesterday an irate father was looking
sll day for James M. Damron, whose
checkered career as an attorney of more
than ordinary ability, member of the
state legislature, and fugitive from JUS
tice while charged with forgery, is very
familiar to the people of this city.
Since the trials in which Damron
narrowly escaped going to the penitAn-
tiary, he has kept considerably in the
background, and those still his friends
were led to believe that he was building
himself up again, or honestly attempt
ing to do 30, and leading regular life.
! But the scene which was enacted at
his Office on New High street Friday
| night has thrust the versatile attorney
once more into the glare of publicity, as
well as a young girl of 16 years, whose
life he has probably ruined.
At 8 O'Clock Friday night Mrs. Dam
ron, whose devotion to her husband
through all his trouble was touch
ing, suddenly appeared in the
hallway leading to his offices. There are
frosted windows opening from the hall
into these apartments, and the lady
broke one of them. She claims that she
found her husband and the young girl
under such circumstances as caused her
to enter the rooms in some way and cre-
ate havoc therein. The girl has been
employed as typewriter by Damron
and is quite pretty, her parents being
respectable people who have only resided
in Los Angeles a few months, and are
from the east. For some reason she
hastily left the room, and Damron him
eeIf followed euit.
The outraged wife was so excited that
che proceeded to wreak her vengeance
on visible things. She spied a type
writer machine which she thought was
the property Of the girl, but had in re-
ality been rented by Damron, and
played on it with a poker, 80
that it was soon q shapeless
mass. The room soon looked as if
dynamite had struck it. After waiting
around for q time Mrs. Damron sought
apartments at the Nadeau, where she
spent the remainder of the night.
Yesterday morning secondhand
man from whom some of the furniture
was leased called and carted it away,
and the handsomely fitted rooms were
dismantled.
Damron did not put in an appearance
during the day and it is rumored that
he has left town. The girl went home,
and it is understood claims that she
was doing nothing wrong and that Mrs.
Damron was jealous without cause.

FOR EXTREME CRUELTY.
A Pasadena Divorce Suit Decided by
Judge Van Dyke.

A Pasadena Divorce Suit Decided by
Judge Van Dyke.
Mrs. Sarah Post, pretty little dark
eyeo woman, who nevertheless showed
signs OF trouble, related the story of her
marital troubles to Judge Van Dyke
yesterday morning, and was granted a
decree of divorce from her husband, g..
B. Post, on the ground of extreme
cruelty.
The couple live in Pasadena, where
Mr.. Post is clerk in bank. They
were married in December of last year,
and after living together until May of
this year, the unhappy union was ter
minated by the husband going away
from his wife.
She told story of domestic infelicity
which did not show up her husband in
an enviable light. Immediately after
their marriage he 30 conducted himself
as to disgust his bride and injure her
health; and their unhappiness grew un-
til it was unbearable. She testified that
her husband became overbearing and
wanted her to sign contract that she
would see her mother only twice week
be in bed every night by 10 O'Clock, re-
ceive only such persons in their home
as he should designate and act in all
things as his obedient wife. She also
stated that he came home under the in
fuence of liquor and would 20 to bed
with his boots on much to her discom-
fort. He also clipped out extracts Civ
ing accounts of women who had been
unfaithful to their husbands and gone
wrong, and would read them to her de-
spite her protests and tell her that was
the way she would fnish her life. It
was proved that Mrs. Post had been
nurtured in pleasant home in Provi-
dence, Rhode Island, her parents being
then wealthy and had never been
accustomed to the harsh treatment
to which she was subjected.
There was no physical violence dis
played towards her by her husband,
and the case presented the legal point
of divorce for extreme cruelty being
asked for without bodily injury. The
decree was granted by the court, after
the presentation of the evidence.
