STocKMEN IN A RAGE.

An Ordinance Which Causes Them Con-
siderable Trouble.
There is 6 reat rage among stockmen
and owners of bands of sheep, who have
hitherto driven their cattle and stock
through outlying districts Of the city.
The city council, July 18th, at the solici-
tation Of number Of petitioners, passed
curious ordinance that in a back.
handed way is virtually prohibition oi
the driving of stock through the streets
of the city.
The ordlnsnce provides that no cattle
horses, mules, sheep, goats or hogs shall
be driven through the streets of the city
in larger bands or droves than five, and
that each such band or drove shall be
accompanied by two herders. The city
limits of Los Angeles are quite exten-
sve, and for stockmen to 60 clear around
the city entails drive of many miles
1t is a somewhat interesting calculation
as to what would be the result if some
spunky sheep owner with band of 500
sheep should attempt to follow out the
provisions of the ordinance. Five hun
dred sheep, divided into bands of FIVE
each, would make 100 bands, and as two
men are required to each band, it would
take force of 200 men.
At moderate estimate the 100 bands
would scatter in 100 directions, and the
police department would be called on
to collect the scattered sheep. The
sight of the police force running after
the frightened bleaters would be sight
for the gods.
The owners of sheep and cattle are
very much stirred up over the matter.
Several OF them called on Chief Glass
yesterday to see if there was not some
way by which they could get their stock
to market. He could only point out to
them the provisions of the ordinance,
and tell them that if they attempted to
drive any cattle or sheep through the
streets, he would be obliged to arrest
them and the cattle or sheep. They left
his Office feeling anything but amiable
towards the city fathers. 20

A THIRSTY DOG.

He Causes His Master to Be Booked for
Battery.
s'No dog shall drink out of glass OF
mine," was remark made yesterday
morning, which resulted in VIM. Wood
ward having charge of battery booked
against him at the police station.
He went into saloon near the corner
of Main and First street, run by R. F..
Doll and Emil Valdez, and asked for a
drink of water for his dog. There was
nothing for him to drink out of, and he
asked for glass of water. Mr.. Valdez
did not like the idea of dog drinking
from glass, and Woodward threw down
fifteen cents on the counter, and again
asked for glass of water. Valdez re-
fused, and made the remark quoted
above. Woodward evidently took UNI
bragg at the remark, and said with suf-
ficient emphasis to show that
he was getting excited, that his
dog was as good as any white man,
or words to that effect. One word led to
another, all with the proper emphasis,
Woodward being ordered out of the
saloon, and suddenly he whipped out a
six-s shooter, and, leveling it at Valdez,
made remark which sounded like, 81
will kill you" At any rate, he leyeled
the revolver. The situation was rapidly
becoming strained, when Mr.. Doll, who
was outside the bar, seized Woodward
and got the revolver away from him.
Woodward was booked at the police
station for battery. The dog did not
get his drink.

AND SHE NEVER CAME BACK,
Mrs. Albertus's Trip to Her
First Husbands Grave.
It Was Pretext to Escape from
Her Second ConsOrt.
The Handsome Young Woman Seeks
Refuge with Friends in San
Diego = Albertus Is
Kept Out.

The HERALD yesterday contained an
account of the departure from her hus-
band of Mrs, j. Albertus, and his search
for her in this city, and application at
the police headquarters for assistance.
The young woman is described as a
handsome, eweet-faced lady of the semi
brunette style of beauty, with large
hazel eyes, clear complexion, we'll
rounded and symmetrical figure, and
fully head and shoulders taller than
Albertus. Who she was was mystery
to many. Her identity is now estab-
she has friends, and powerful ones at
that, in San Diego.
A year or 80 ago the lady arrived in
band, man we'll along in years, but in
dence there he died and was buried in
Mt. Hope cemetery. His widow was
left a legacy amounting to about $50, 600.
She became acquainted with Alpertus
through having some portraits of her.
self and husband enlarged. Albertus
at once fell violently in love with the
young widow, and is said to have fol-
lowed her to Chicago and the east, and
after several months OF persistent WOO
ing, she married him in New Mexico.
They returned to Southern California,
and he started in business in this city,
and for the past five or six months she
has accompanied him on his various
trips to cities along the coast. A few
days ago they went to San Diego, and
the lady started ostensibly to Mount
Hope cemetery to beautify her first hus-
bands grave. She did not return. On
Wednesday night Mr.. Albertus became
alarmed, and began search. Officers
were called on to assist, and it developed
that she had ''gone east" Mr.. Albertus
kept the wires hot, and yesterday morn
ing came back here, but failed to find
his wife.
The young widow is said to have re-
pented of her marriage and her absence
is voluntary. She called on a lady
friend and told her story, and in COM
pany with her returned to Los Angeles,
secured her trunks and returned to San
Diego on Thursday.
On Thursday night Mr.. Albertus,
aided by some Los Angeles detectives,
located his wife at the house of Mrs. G.
ri. Marston, on Eighth street, between
F and G streets, in San Diego. He tried
to gain admittance but was refused, and
will probably begin habeas corpus pro-
ceediDgs.
Mr.. Albertus was seen late Thursday
night by San Diego Union reporter,
and stated that ever since they had been
married their relations had been the
most harmonious and pleasant. That
when his wife left him on Wednesday
morning at 8 o'clock she kissed him
goodbye and made arrangements to
meet him at friends house at 8
O'Clock. He waited until A, and as che
did not come he called at Mrs. Mars
toms, and was told that she did not
know where his wife was and for him to
keep out of the house. That he knew
his wife was there, but he had been re-
fused admittance, and all efforts to see
her had failed.

EQUALIZATION THAT IS NOT EQUAL.

The intention Of those who crea' >sA
boards of equalization, whether for Che
state or county, was that justice 2 ScJuld
be done alike to the greatest . ~ tbe
least of the taxpayers. That revision
of the constitution which decl xsss, eoual-
ity before the law to all sort 4 and con
ditions of men, for fear ,nst uninten-
tional injustice might b done. is sue
plemented with another article, the frst
section OF which decls res that taxation
shall be uniform. ] ast how far this is
being carried out, i It us zee by exasnin-
ing the proceedin' a of the state board
OF equalization f' ,r the current year up
to date.
A few days go, that body sent q tel
egrana to Cor lnty Assessor Gray to ask
why he had assessed the taxable prop
ertS in this county at IS, 900, 900 less than
last year. The truth of the matter is
that Mr.. Gray, SO far from lowering val
cations, has raised them over 81, 600, 900
above t'ae assessed values OF 1891, and
about $l50,0OO above the material in
crease made by the county board last
| year, prior to the great swell' OF over
nine millions, including railroads, which
was made by the state board.
s,an Francisco property always gets
off with light assessment, as also do
the outlying agricultural lands bought
by her millionaires, and held for specu-
lative purposes, without improvement.
Take the total amount of property re-
) portediin San Francisco, and the money
equivalent to it would not buy the prop
erty On Market, Montgomery, Kearny,
i Sansome and Battery streets. Let the
{ state board assess San Francisco as it
| seeks to assess Los Angeles, and there
will be marked difference in the val
ues then and now, in the Bay city.
The liberality of the Republican
state boa d of equalization, in dealing
with that rich and powerful corpora
tion, the Southern Pacific Railroad
company, is worthy of comment. In
1890 it cut off sos, ,231 from that COM
, papy's assessment in this county; and
| in the same year increased the assess
ment of the Santa Fe road (whose presi-
] dent is not political boss in any sense
/ of the term) just 1907. This year the
, state board increases the Santa Fe's
! assessment $61 ,625, or total of $81 ,2S2
in two years, while it cuts off from the
[ Southern Pacific what amounts to q
total of s110,S70 in two years. Such
equalization as that, while seeking to
advance other property in this county at
least 15 per cent, is simply outrageous,
and not to be borne. Assessor Gray and
committee OF three from the board of
supervisors. leave here for Sacramento
on Monday next, to protest against the
unjust and unfair discrimination.

BANKING A LA MODE.

Several years ago, an advertising agent
made the tour of the entire Pacific coaet
and, in most of the leading dailies be-
tween here and the Alaska boundary
inserted advertisements of the Maver-
| ick bank of Boston. The local banks
did not exactly understand the motive
for this proceeding. Shortly afterward
it transpired that the advertising agent
was merely the avant courier of side
show man from the aforesaid bank, who
followed the advance man at respect
| full distance and interviewed Pacific
coast capitalists with reference to start
ing branches of the institution in San
Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Port
land, Seattle.
Had the bank borne any any other
name, it is quite probable his errand
would have been successful, at least in
one or two of the above named places.
But the name of Maverick" is the
name applied to an unbranded calf by
the stockmen of New Mexico, Arizona
and Texas, just as the cowboys of Idaho,
Montana and Oregon talk about t'slick
ears" The name conveyed ideas OF
OF cattle-theft and consequent lynch
law; and the proposition fell to
the ground with dull thud.'
One of the capitalists, whom this ex-
ploiter interviewed, was a man who
has made and lost several fortunes in
quartz ventures, but is still solvent and
influential. "This showing of your
bank" said he, ''is unquestionably a
good one, if verified. Are these assets
all solvent credits, beyond any dis
pute ?"
"Oh, yes, said the interviewer, If the
assets were not there, the bank exam
iner would not certify them"
SWELL" said the Californian, 81 am a
stockholder in five banks and director
in three, right in this state; and let me
tell yeu there is good deal more money
TO be made in banking there than here.
The country is older than ours. the Sc
curities better and the investments less
subject to fuctuation; and that's why /
say TO you that if your bank is doing
any business at all in Boston, you had
better stick to it and leave these new
states alone"
Nobody bit at the gilded bait here or
in San Francisco, and year ago last
March the concern went up with a
battle-royal crash. The European VEN
lures Of Mr.. Eyre, who was known to
Americans in Paris as "Skyrocket Ned"
were child'a play in comparison with
this Boston imitator Of the Barings and
the Rothschilds. The bank examiner
who had certified to the solvency
Of the concern committed suicide,
and then the matter became the subject

investigation reveals the fact that three

thing prodigious. Our authority for the
statement as to the real estate values of
the three streets referred to equalizing
the whole valuation of the Golden Gate,
as reported by the assessor. is one Of the
most noted fnanciers OF the Pacific
coast. The thoroughfares named by
him were Market and Kearney streets
and Van Ness avenue. The papers Of
San Francisco, even, have been obliged
to call attention to the peculiar methods
of Assessor Siebe. The great drawback
under which the southern counties lie, is
that the immense sums of money taken
away from them, in excess of the school
fund, never get back here. We could
submit to imposition with more grace
were it not for that fact.

WHETHER there is anything important
about California as a fruit-producing
state taltheugh it is even yet an infant
industry may be,gleaned from the fact
that an old established fruit firm in
New York has filed its schedule in
Bankruptcy, and has assigned its failure
to two causes. the first of which is ina
'bility to collect debts, and the second is
alluded to ss "the unwholesome compe-
tition of California fruits" The writer
OF this article, who drove all over the
Rose, Chapman and Baldwin ranches
yesterday, and saw several thousand
acres bearing evidences of this alleged
.'unwholesome competition" is just
selfish enough to wish an increase
thereof. If the importers of Turkish
figs and italian prunes don't like it,
they have their remedy. Let them
begin trading in California fruits.

IT NOW turns out that the report
which emanated from Sacramento ia
the effect that Assessor Gray had re-
duced the assessment of Los Angeles
county eight million dollars is mis-
take. On the contrary his assessment
was two million and fifty-nine thousand
nine hundred and seventy-five dollars
greater than that Of last year. Of course
statements emanating from Sacramento
or San Francisco respecting the valua-
ton of any of the southern counties,
and especially Of Los Angeles county,
must be taken with grain Of salt. An
honest and impartial assessment Of the
several counties Of this state is per-
haps an unattainable desideratum.
There are three streets in San

returns for that city, while the amount
