COMPLAINTS AGAINST BOTH.
Unexpt cted Termination of a Disturb
ance of the Peace Case.

Unexpe cted Termination of a Disturb
ance of the Peace Case.
The trial of George Spiker, charged by
A. Kowalski with disturbance of the
peace at Verdugo, November 25th, took
place before Justice Stanton and jury
yesterday, and terminated in way
that was unexpected to both the parties
concerned.
The circumstances connected with the
trouble were brought out by the first
witness, Mrs. Fred Minner, German
woman, who described the row clearly,
as far as sine knew it. She said that
Mr.. Kowalski came to their place about
5 O'Clock on the afternoon of the day
mentioned, in wagon, and were talk
ing with her husband when Spiker and
man named Layman came along.
They walked up to where Kowalski
and her husband were standing, and
something was said which she did not
hear. AS soon as it was said Kowalski
hit Spiker over the head with big to-
bacco pipe he drew from his pocket.
Spiker picked up a big stick of wood and
was about to hit Kowalski with it when
she stopped him.
But Spiker ran over to Kowalski's
wagon, drew out shotgun and leveled
it at him, saying: "I'll kill you" He
fred at Kowalski but missed him, when
the latter wrenched the gun from his
hands and knocked him down with it.
Fred Minuer, husband of the preced-
ing witness, testified about as she did as
to The facts of the row, and said that the
language Spiker used as he came up to
Kowalski was: "You persuaded my
hand to leave me-" The row then en-
sued.
At this point in the trial Justice Stan
ton ordered the proceedings to stop,
saying that the evidence disclosed g
graver offense than that with which the
defendant had been charged, and in
structed Deputy District Attorney Diehl
to prepare the papers.
The court dismissed the charge OF dis
turbiDg the peace, when Spiker and
Kowalski were both arrested on COM
plants charging the former with assault
with deadly weapon and the latter
with assault with intent to commit
great bodily injury. The termination
of the trial was, great surprise to each
man, and they did not like the attitude
of affairs. The examination was sset for
December 18th.

feet that the men had bad characters
and that Pinkham, under another name,
had served term in Jail. Pinkham and
his "side partner" Rogers, were photo
graphed, and their photos were placed
in the detectives album.

who it seems is unable to get employ
ment, was again in the prisoners dock,

he could not find work, and must sleep
somewhere. He was given 10 days in

woman with the overshadowing cum
flower bonnet. The boy was arrested

MR.. TUFTS AND LABOR.

An Anidavit Which COntradicts His
Statements.
The Express of last evening contained
an article denying the truth of the
action taken by the Federated Trades
against Mr.. Tufts, and also a card from
Mr.. Steigenwalt, the secretary, that no
resolution against him was passed. The
secretary of the Federated Trades crawls
out of small hole to favor MIR. Tufts,
as the subjoined affidavit shows. The
only difference being, inetead Of reso-
luton being passed, a motion to the
same effect was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Tufts did not sign any pledge un-
til he was denounced by the Federated
Trades. The news of the action OF the
council was carried to him by the
proprietor of the printing Office where
the Federated Trades circulars were
printed, and then Mr.. Tufts gave him
the pledge. He never mailed it as he
first asserted. When the pledge was
shown to members of the Federated
Trades it was apparent at once that the
ink on the signature of Mr.. Tufts was
hardly dry.
Mr.. Tufts now says he left the pledge
to be called for, and yesterday he said
he mailed it to the council of labor. In
both cases he wanders away from the
truth.
Homer G. Katz and James E. Cusick,
being duly sworn, each for himself, de-
poses and says:
That they were present at a meeting
of the council OF labor on Wednesday
evening, November 80. 1892, and that
ft,o A<x Il
dates reported through the chairman,
James E. Cusick, and that it was re-
ported that Mr.. Tufts had not signed the
pledges submitted to him. After a
lengthy debate Homer G. Katz moved
the adoption of the following resolution
Resolved, That the election of Mr..
Tufts would be antagonistic to organized
labor, and that all unions be requested
not to vote for him.
Or the suggestion OF Frank B. Colver,
the resolution was withdrawn and the
following motion was put and carried
unanimously:
Resolved, That it is the unanimous
sense Of this council of labor that all
unions be requested to refrain from vot-
be sntagonistic to organized labor and

the resolution would not be published

O. both your houses" yesterday after
noon in Judge McKinley's court when
judgment was rendered against them for
$1,000 as sureties on the bond given by
Editor Raskin OF the French paper LIE
Gaulois in the fall of 1891.
They have been left with the bag to
hold by Mons. Raskin, and they did not
appear to be pleased with the situation.
In September, 1891, Raskin was ar
rested upon charge of criminal libel
preferred against him by J. P. Goytino,
editor of LIE Progress. The case was
brought in Justice Austin's court, where
on September 9th his bail was fixed at
$1,000. Mr.. Clarey and Mr.. Castera be-
came his sureties. From one cause and
another the case dragged along until
November 18th, when the case was con-
tinued and Raskin went to Fra 'e. Hg
never came back, and February ilth Z
this year Justice Austin declared ha
bond forfeited. The district attorney
afterwards brought suit against the
bondsmen and the case came to issue
ycetcIudy, Wueu jury Whb lmpducleu
and testimony taken.
The defendants were represented by
James d. Reymert and Mr.. Blair, Dep
uty District Attorney York appearing
for the county.
The defense vainly endeavored to ex-
tricate Messrs. Clarey and Castera from
the dilemma into which the paper war
between Raskin and Goytino had
plunged them.
The case ON the part of the county
ing of the introduction of Justice Austin
and the records Of his court, showing
the forfeiture of the boud.
The defense endeavored to exonerate
the sureties by showing that before Ras.
kin left for France he procured an agree
ment from the court and dietrict attor-
ney allowing him to 60, but Judge Nc
Kinley stopped this line of defense
short, and the more the attempt was
made the more peremptory he became,
saying that if even such thing were
true, it was no excuse to the bondsmen.
The district attorney could make no
agreement allowing defendant to go
away.
The defense further contended that
the arrest was unlawful and that Justice
Austin had no Jurisdiction in the case
When the testimony was concluded
Judge Mckinley state d to the jury that
there was no isene OF fact for them to
decide, in view OF the rulings made, and
directed them to bring verdict for
plaintiff for $1,000, which they accord
ingly did. A atay OF execution for 80
days was granted upon motion of coun-
sci for the defense.

COURT HOUSE WORK.
THE SUPERVISORS FIND BIDS ARE
EXPENSIVE LUXURIEs,
So They Give Mr.. Arnold Another Con-
tract for Stonework at tho
Court House.

The board of supervisors transacted
considerable routine business at its
meeting yesterday.
Petitions for the vacation of Weiss and
Victoria streets in the Weiss tract, and
La Belle avenue in the Sierra Madre
tract, were granted.
1t was found that the board had in
correctly declared Thomas P. Herbert
elected constable in Ell Monte township,
Frederick j. Paullee having received
the majority; the certificate issued to
Herbert was therefore ordered revoked
and one ordered issued to Mr.. Paullee.
A leave of absence for 80 days, begin
ming January l, 1898, was granted to
Constable G. S. Gilbert of San Jose
township.
The board accepted the bids of w. S.
Arnold for two granite buttresses and
steps on the court house grounds tor
$164, and granite platform at the bot
tom of the main steps on Broadway for
$252. The board did not take bids for
this work, but it was let without bids
according to the specifications ON file to
Contractor Arnold. One of the mem
bers of the board informed a HERALD
reporter that the reason it was let
without bids was that they fouEd they
could get this work done for less by Mr..
Arnold than anyone e Sc.
A hearing was set for December 18th
upon a petition for the vacation of
streets in the Stoneman tract, in the
San Gabriel road district.
Upon application by Tax Collector A.
B. Whitney the board appointed w. r.
Teale special deputy, his salary to be
at the rate Of 500 per month.
The salary of A. B Phillips, for "look-
ing after judgmente," was fixed at $75
per month during the pleasure of the
board
The salary OF Engineer Morton, en-
gineer at the court house, was fixed by
the board at $125 per month, which is
an increase of S25 per month. The cause
given is that Mr.. Morton's duties have
been and are very onerous, and he has
to perform double duty nearly all the
time.

PROFESSOR OWEN AGAIN.
His Young Wife Accuses Him of Heart
less Treatment.

His Young Wife Accuses Him of Heart
less Treatment.
Many people hereabouth remember
H. Guy Wiltshire, young man with all
the attributes of dude, and big bank
account, who resided at Long Beach and
caught the Nationalist fever. He Joined
that party, and ran for congress in this
district, and was showed under.
Professor Owen was his Fidus
Achetes, and had very pretty wife,
with whom Wiltshire became enanaored.
Professor Owen was practical socialist,
and agreed to the formality OF divorce
SO that Wiltshire might marry his wife.
This was done, and the trio moved to
Brooklyn, whence came a repor; Few
months ago that Owen was member of
the family, acting as q tutor to his
child.
A special dispatch from New York,
under date OF December 1st, gives the
following later story about Owen:
w. @. Owen, recently one of the
most prominent members of the Social
ist league in this city, if not its leading
spirit, has been publicly expelled from
that radical order for conduct calcu-
lated to injure the cause OF socialism. +"
1t was learned last evening that Owen
left New York several weeks ago and
went back to England. whence he orig
inally came to this country.
Owen will hereafter be marked man
among all those affecting radical be-
liefs throughout the world. He will
never again be admitted to membership
in socialistic organization. 1t was
for ,grievously wronging a fellow
socialist-his wife-that Owen was
disciplined by the league. Owen
had been the editor of radi-
cal publication, the Nationalist, in
San Francisco, and came to this city
about two years ago. Here he met a
family of Russians named Krimout. Its
members subscribed to the doctrines of
the most advanced schools and were
friends of Prince Krapotkin. the we'll
known Nihilist. To an unmarried
daughter, Annie Krimout, Owen became
very attentive, and about year ago
he proposed to marry her. She was
agreeable, and her family offered no OBJ
lection to the suit. The marriage was,
in accordance with the practice of the
radicals, devoid of religious ceremony.
The bride and bridegroom. in the pres-
ence of friends at her house, stood up
and declared that they took each other
for man and wits. They then went to
housekeeping.
About month ago owen left his wife
in delicate condition, without means
of support and with debts of his con-
tiacting to be paid. Arriving in Eng
land, he wrote q. letter which is said to
have been exceedingly brutal in tone.
He made light of her condition and his
desertion, and advised that after she left
the maternity hospital she should seek
employment as a nurse. There were
other cruel and heartless remarks about
her Drawing public opinion and the like.
Upon receiving this letter Mrs. Owen
promptly reported the matter to the
Socialist league. 1t is thought that
Owen has gone back to his English wife,
who until recent date lived with an
American.
While in New York Owen met and
defeated E. Elery Anderson in a debate
on economic subjects.

Mrs. Maud E. Anderson Secures Her Di-
vorce from A. b. Anderson.
The divorce suit brought by Mrs.
Maud E. Anderson against A. B. Ander-
son, abont which so much has recently
been said, was yesterday tried by Judge
Wade and with closed doors.
The trial did not result, however, in
any such sensational proceedings as had
been anticipated. The defendant was
not present, and allowed the Gaze to go
by default.
The ground upon which the divorce
was asked by Mrs. Anderson did not in
clude the charge of infdelity, but was
for cruelty and abuse. She testified as
to some occasions on which her husband
abu used her, both by language and by
slapping her.
The only other witnesses examined
were Kate Marshall, Mrs. Anderson's g
nurse, and Vera Bush, the 13-year-old
daughter of former husband of the
plaintiff. At the conclusion of the brief
testimony the court granted the decree.

OPPOSED THE PRINTERS.

How Mr.. Tufts Obstructed the Settle
ment of a Labor Question.
A member of the committee which is
referred to below gives the HERALD the
statement which follows:
In view of the position taken by Mr..
Tufts, candidate for mayor on the Re-
publican ticket, in the matter of signing
the propositions handed to him by the
council of labor of this city, it might be
we'll to state that some little over year
ago, before Mr.. Tufts name was ever
mentioned for the mayoralty, commit
tee OF i've was appointed by the council
OF labor to secure the signatures of
prominent business men of this city to
paper setting forth that they (the busi-
ness men) were in favor of submitting
difhcultles between employers and en-
ployes to arbitration. This committee
called on all the principal business
houses, and experienced no difficulty in
'obtalnlng the signatures of the proprie-
tors and managers of these places until
they visited the store of,the Tufts LYONS
Arms company.
They were met by Mr.. Tufts, to whom
the matter was explained. His reply
was:
1T is no affair of mine, and | don't
want to meddle in it. Let these people
settle their own troubles. No; 1 won't
sign it."
He was shown the list and the names
OF the signers read to him, but he would
not yield, remarking that it was no
affair OF his. He was told that he was
a member of the city council, and above
all others should take an interest in the
welfare OF its citizens, and, if possible,
bring matters to such point that boy
cotting would not be INDUCED in, and
differences between capital and labor
settled by arbitration still he would not
sign.
In the course of the day Mr.. 7. E.
Rowan, Democratic candidate for mayor.
was met on the street and approached
by the chairman of the committee and
asked to sign the paper.
After carefully reading it over, he re-
marked:
Certainly, gentlemen, will sign it.
