RECEIVER PAULEY.

Dissatisfaction with His Work In San
Diego.
Receiver Paulev has notified all stock
holders of the California National bank
says the San Diego Union, that an as
sessment of 500 per share has been
levied on the capital stock of the bank
and must be paid on or before June Is,
1892, or suit will be commenced to en-
force payment, and that the assessment
will bear interest from that date.
"This is pretty time OF day to be
sending out that notice" !" said one OF the
irate stockholders yesterday. "There is
nearly one-half the capital stock, or
about 1886 900 held in this city, and will
lay wager that not more than one
fourth that amount will be realized. It
will all come cut in time, and may as
we'll be known now. / have watched
this thing closely, and gotten on the in
side as nearly as could, and can name
nearly 100000 worth OF stock on which
not dollar can be collected. This, of
course, includes the 800, 900 held by Dare
and Collins. The balance is owned in
blocks OF from ten to 200 shares, and the
holders have been quietly at work
transferring and demonstrating their
property until they are absolutely exc
cution proof. This has been going on
right along, and Receiver Pauley knew
it or should have known it, If he pos
sessed any qualifications for his position.
I'm the four months that he has been
receiver of that bank what has he done?
He has brought two suits, one against
a newspaper against which he had q
grudge, and another against the cable
road. OF the 81 ,100, 900 in notes in the
bank, what has he done toward collec-
ton? Almost absolutely nothing"
Depositors, however, rejoice that The
move, though tardy, has been made.

THE DOCTOR HAS GONE
A POMONA MANS STORY OF HOW
HE WAS DONE.
He and His wife Left the Glenwood Ifo--
tel Yesterday-What Otto Engel-
man Said About 1t.

There is an alleged doctor who is
wanted very much by the police in this
city just at present, and also woman
who has been passing for his wife. He
goes by the name of DR.. Thomson or DR..
Mott, and has been living at the Hotel
Glenwood, in East Los Angeles. He has
departed from the city, his wife having
left the hotel yesterday, taking her few
effects with her and leaving an unpaid
bill behind her.
Crooked work done by the gay doctor
is beginning to turn up, and the cases
will probably be multiplied as each day
goes by. Yesterday young German
who gave his name as Otto Engelman,
and said he was from Pomona, called at
the police station and told story about
the doctor. He said that he was in Po-
mona few days ago, and the doctor got
acquainted with him. He represented
himself to be connected with the
Liebig dispensary, and that he had
been with them for fully nine years.
He secured the interest of the young
German by very generously offering to
give him q nice situation of driving a
buggy for him and would pay him $40
month. Engelman thought he had
struck good thing and very easily ac-
ceded to the demand of the doctor for
q $40 deposit. There were other little
incidentals making in all about $1S,
which passed into the pockets of the
| sharper, and he ran several bill around
town, notably livery bill. Then the
time had come for disappearing, and
he did go together with the woman
| travelling with him as his wife. Engel-
man traced him to Los Angeles and to
the Glenwood hotel, but his bird had
flown again, and he is out his money.
He is poor man, and it took nearly all
his little savings.
From the description given of the
doctor he was recognized by Officer
Bosqui as the same man who defrauded
. woman at the Natick house in this
city, week or two ago, of about $50
worth of iewelry. She had some prop
erty in Fresno, which had become
tangled up in some way, and he repre-
sented himself to her as q real estate
man, and resident OF Fresno. He Of
fered to look after her business for her
when he went home, and she agreed to
let him do go. Having not much money
she gave him articles of jewelry includ-
ing two bracelets and some rings. These
she entrusted to him and he succeeded
in making his usual disappearance
without leaving any trace Of his where
abouts. He is described as q man
about six feet tall, somewhat compactly
built. He has black hair, q heavy
black mustache, and wears black
Prince Albert coat and blue striped
trousers.

YOUNG DICK TURPINS.
TWO BOYS WHO wAYLAID Al
OLD MAN.
They Drank With Him and Then Ham.
mered Him With a Stone-One OF
Them COufesses.

The two boys, Albert Richardson and
Ted Whitton, who confessed to robbing
an old Frenchman named John De-
manet few nights ago. were examined
yesterday before Justice Owens. The
boys are not over II years old, and had
no attorney.
The old Frenchman, whose age is 63
years, was in court, his head all bandaged
up and face bruised. The case against
the boys was clearly made out, and the
confession of Richardson was admitted
in evidence. He confessed to the de-
tectives, his statement was written out,
submitted to him and he signed it. He
admitted that he and his youthful COM
panion in crime followed the old man
from the Old Vienna buffet saloon on
Requena street, rode with him on the
same Main-street car out to Twenty
first street, where he got off to 60 home.
They accompanied him, and when they
had gone block, assault him. They
knocked him down, Whitton hitting
him in the head and face with stone.
Then, after taking his purse, they ran
away and divided the spoils.
The old Frenchman told substantially
the same story. He said he had been
drinking considerable during the even
ing in the saloon and that Richardson
was with him all the time. He made
their acquaintance in the saloon, and
treated the boys. They deliberately set
to work to rob the old man, and in his
intoxicated condition he fell an easy vic
tim to them.
DR.. MacGowan testified to the
wounds received by DemaDet. He was
struck several times IN the face and on
the head, and received one particularly
ugly bruise on top of his head. although
the skull was not fractured. The boys
had no defense to make, and were held
to answer, their bail being fixed in the
sum of SIC, 900 each. Not being able to
give it, they went to Jail to await their
trials.

PUZZLED THE JUDGE.
A Case OF Alleged Assault which Could
Not Be Settled.

A Case OF Alleged Assault which Could
Not Be Settled.
Quite a tangled assault case was tried
before Justice Austin yesterday after.
noon, the defendant being a pretty,
dark-haired woman named Mrs. Tisch-
auser, who lives at No. 728 Commercial
street. She was accused by little i'd
getty man who is known as Prof. P. T.
HELLER, and who lives at No. 730, few
doors away from the defendant.
Hebler claims that on the night Of
May 18th he left his house at IL O'Clock
at night to get doctor for his wife, and
when he reached Mrs. Tischauser's q
house she rushed out and assaulted
him, finally making at him with a
hatchet. He thought his life was in
danger and pulling a revolver from his
pocket fred two shots in the air to
frighten the woman, whereupon she
ran into the house.
On the other hand Mrs. Tischauser
asserts that she was sitting by win
dow in the front of her house, when
Hebler came along and began to call
her vile names, drawing q revolver and
firing two shots into the wall close by
her. Attempts to elicit the true cause
of the trouble between the parties were
not very successful. i0
Mrs. Eishauser's eyes flashed when
the professor was telling his side of the
story, but beyond q ecornful smile at
parts of his testimony where he denied
statements; she Gid not make any de-
monstrations. o
None of the inside causes of the diff.
Guilty came out in the testimony, and
there is such conflict between the two
stories that Justice Austin stated he
could not fix the responsibility. An Of
tense had evidently been committed,
but be could not see but that there were
doubts as to Mrs. Tishauser being the
guilty party. He warned both Of the
parties that should they ever come be.
fore him sgain he would see that pun
ishment was meted out.

for the first. He sat down and famed him
self for few moments and then happy
thought struck him. He struck q match
and attempted to light the gas, but 1t failed
to light. Assistant Controller John Davis
fished out ali old.time lamp from the vault
and placed it on the counter. A candle
stuck into an ink bottle was placed on the
other end. Everybody knew the Controller
had started the fight on the electric light
and he was at once accused of ordering the
light shut of, and consequently everybody
in the hall went to his office to complain or
to joke about 1t, as they were in the humor.
He had calmed down in the meantime and
met all comers with the statement that he
knew nothing about it except that the light
was shut of.
Bigelow VIII Let the Contracts To-day.
The Inconvenience all through the city
building was great In few Offices there
was gas in the pipes and it was lighted, but
the heat produced was terrific and caused
many long, loud and deep complaints In
the other offices lamps and candles were
burned and two Chinese lanterns were hung
up in the Controllers office. In the City
Assessors Office Squire Rafferty, pored over
a long column of figures which he illumina-
ted with a coal miners lamp fastened to his
hat and other tricks of the same kind were
indulged. The light was also out in the
city hall clock.
1t was charged that the Controller had
recommended the payment of the light
company's bill to Councils and had then
put the Mayor up to vetoing it. Both off,
Gals deny the statement, however, and the
Controller produced from the City Clerks
file the communication he sent to Councils
and which simply stated that the bill was
due and that action by Councils was neces-
sary. Chief Bigelow and the Controller
had wordy war about the matter in the
Controllers Office and the Chief declared
new contract would be let at once. He
went up to Common Council chamber
shortly after and opened the bid of the ALLIE
gheny County Light Company for lighting
City Hall at the same rate as last year,
81, 900. In view of MI. Blaxter's statement
to the Mayor this was rather singular, but
it was the only bid offered and the chief
will let the contract this morning in time to
have it approved by Common Council at
the special meeting this afternoon.
81 will arrange for lighting the building |
as quickly as possible" said the Chief last |
night. "1t is out of the question to light |
the hall with gas, now that it is hemmed in |
by tall buildings. Light is needed all day |
long and the heat from the gas, as was |
shown to-day, would be unbearable for the |
men,"
