FIGHTER O'LEARY FOUND GUILTY.
The Superior Court Judges
Adopt New Rules.
Experts Testify in Mrs. de Bakers
Damage Suit.
Happenings Yesterday in the Various
Courts-Notes on Cases Which
Were Acted Upon-New
Suits Filed. .s ..s..

Peter O'Leary, with cockney accent
far removed from Milesian and depre-
eating manner not in keeping with his
profession, prize fighter and professor ol
athletics, had hard time OF it in Judge
Smiths court yesterday.
He is the man charged with snatchine
q watch and chain from a convivial fell
low on Alameda street few weeks ago.
and who also walked out of Judge
Smiths cohrt room when there for ar
raignment week since, causing sew
eral deputy sheriffs to display theirvery
best eprinting qualities before they re-
captured him.
The trial of his case occupied pretty
much all the afternoon. The charge IN
the information was assault with intent
to commit robbery. The victim oi
the defendant, Martin Themes, was
one of five merry fellows who had been
seeing the sights in Chinatown and ad-
jacent territory the night OF the occur
renee. They had hack and stopped at
. saloon near the corner of Turner and
Alameda street. to revive their tagging
spirits with additional libations.
" lxcHIy WAS III UuO bdAOOA WILL ObucI
habitues, and when the party had gone
out, followed them. He snatched at
Themes chain and watch, and secured
man showed fight. O'Leary ran aud
was gobbled by Officer McLain.
The facts of the case were clearly
proved by the various witnesses, and
Jailer Henry Russell described his chase
. ofkor-tho dofopdonf vuhQn ho fnOk
French leave of the court.
When the defense was called, o OLeary
had only one witness beside himself, a
saloon man named Dougherty, who had
known him for several years. He testi-
fed that he had never known anything
wrong about the defendant, but it was
shown on cross examination that the
latter had only been in the city q
few days when the crime was committed,
and the witness had not seen him for
five years.
.O'Leary may be good boxer, but as
q witness he was not success. He had
as shifty tongue as his eyes, and in
volved himself in a pitiable tangle of
lies and weak excuses.
Hi was drinkin' that night" he said
deferentially, ''and'ad no hidea of robbin'
anybody. 1t was just a free fight, and
there was lot of them on me-"
O'Leary swore in the justice court
that be had only been in the city one
day and gave another name. In expla-
nation of his statement on the stand in
this case that he had been here several
days, he said that he was going to teach
gentlemen the manly art of self-defense,
and tried to conceal his name and the
time of his arrival so it would not hurt
his business. The more he testified the
more mixed he was, and Deputy District
Attorney Diehl finally stopped his CROSS
examination out of sheer pity for the
whining fellow. The jury was out about 10
minutes and returned verdict Of guilty
as charged. Sentence will be pronounced
on Monday morning next.

A NEW GRAND STAND
To Be Erected During the Coming Wi
ter at Agricultural Park.


To Be Erected During the Coming Win
ter at Agricultural Park.
1t is said that the board of directors
are in favor of erecting new grand stand
at the course at Agricultural park, as
the present one is both too old and too
small to mest the fast-growing require
ments of the case. The new edifice can
not be erected much short of $4,000, to be
in anything like harmony with those
now built at the east, to say nothing of
the magnificent brick and stone edifces
in existence in Australia and India. The
grand stand at Pennington (Melbourne)
cost 1000, and the one at Calcutta
$42, ,000, which looks rather costly to Los
Angeles optics.
The stand, however, can be built at
cost of about $4,000, and the old one re-
moved above the main entrance to the
fat. This will enable the association at
its next fair, to have two stands at diff
ferent prices, with private boxes in the
front OF each. The Australian idea of
cellar, to be used as a refectory, under
Pennington, the man who gets the Ca
tcTiuS coutTdCt, uab tHTco Icotnuio oil Co
at $1.25, rs cents and 30 cents, respec-
lively; and men are enabled to get their
meals at any price they like, governing
their appetites according to the capacity
of their wallets. Los Angeles is city
located in the center of region which
has already produced come of the high
est-priced horses that have ever run or
trotted in America; and moreover, it is
the only city in the state where people
will turn out to see a trotting race,
Therefore grand stand is something
that borders upon immediate necessity.

Contractor Chenowlth Makes Charges
- Against Him.
Ed Grimes, who will tomorrow have
preliminary examination upon a
charge of burglary before Justice Aus
tin, seems to have made quite record
for himself in this city. Grimes was
arrested for burglarizing house on Los
Angeles street. Yesterday F.. Cheno-
with, the we'll l-known grading con-
tractor, came to the police station and
gave to the authorities some very valu-
able pointers concerning Grimes.
Mr.. Chenowith charged that for some
time past Grimes has been burglarizing
his grading camp at the corner Of Wash :
ington and San Pedro streets, stealing
various articles. He claims that during
two months last past he took So whip,
$14 tape line, gold-headed umbrella.
half q set of harness. fancy halter. a
buggy cover, not to speak of numerous
other articles.
Grimes has for several weeks past
been connecting himself with the gospel
tent on San Pedro street, but it appears
now as though he was in a very bad
hole

A NEW DISTRIBUTION.

The Superior Judges Make Change in
Their Present Rules. /
For some time past the judges OF the

about changing the distribution OF
causes to the different departments, and

Under the new rule which has been
in operation, criminal business has been
assigned to two departments, No. and
by turns, Nos.6 and 5. This term it was
Judge Shaw's turn to take criminal BUS
inal docket has been very light this
very much for Judge Shaw. He also
tion needed re-arranging. This the six
following changes in the rules:
It is ordered that the order for distri-
button of cases made on January 26,

PREPARING THE BALLOTS
THE DIFFICULT WORK BEFORE THE
COUNTY CLERK.
The Populfsts to Have a Heading ON the
Ticket-Some Township Nomina-
tiOns Which Are Slow in
Being Certified.

"The Peoples party will have head
ing on the ballots" said County Clerk
Ward to HERALD reporter yesterday.
"Such are the instructions have re-
ceived from the secretary of state," he
continued, and pointed to huge ballot
scheme tackled against the wall, which
showed the ballot as it will be printed,
barring some few justices and constables
whose certificates Of nomination have
not yet been received, and also barring
any changes which may be due to candi-
dates withdrawing before the ballots are
printed.
81 will be obliged to have the forms
stereotyped," added Mr.. Ward. "The
law allows candidates to withdraw up
to such close date that that is the only
wsy can get the ballots out on time.
There are go many changes in district
and township ballots under the new law
that will be thankful when the whole
thing is done. No one has any concep-
tion of the cumbersome job it is to COM
ply with the new law"
Yesterday was the last day when the
county clerk could receive the certifi-
Gates of nomination by electors
from the secretary of state, as required
by the new law. for those candidates
which that official certifes to. In this
case the certificates were those of the
Populists for presidential electors and
congress. The certificate stated that
the Populist candidates had sent up the
5 per cent petitions of the total vote of
the district, and that entities them to a
place on the ticket. AS Mr.. Ward said,
the secretary ofstate will give the Popu-
lists the benefit of the doubt and let
them have heading on the ballot.
The certificates of nomination of those
officers who must give proof Of their
candidacy to the county clerk have
nearly all been received. Those not yet
received are of a few justices and con-
stables in outlying townships. The
Populists have been working at their
petitions for some weeks. and it is said
that they have not been particular
about the nature of the signatures 1t
is known that in some instances Repub-
licans and Democrats have signed the
petitions, on the we'll known axiom that
anybody will sign petition.
The law requires that the list of can
didates in the order of the ballots must
be published in newspapers ten days
before the election. As the ballots vary
in different districts and townships,
it will be nice point as to how this pro.
vision can be carried out.

passed down its usual channel without
any damage to the property. He also
described the deposit left on the land in
question, and stated that it had rendered
it practically worthless, and that it
would be for long time to come. He
said there is very little vegetation now
on the land.
Other engineers who testified were
VIM. T. Lambie and 9. T. Healey whose
conclusions were in line with those of
the preceding witness. He went further,
and said that the levee was not correctly
built; that it should have been built on
a line which conformed as near as pos
sible to the natural channel of the river,
and not on lines that would defect it.
On cross-examination, Mr.. Haley said
he had never seen the channel of the
river further west than it is at present.
He had seen bank which had once
been the western bank OF the river, but
had never seen the water that far, and it
did not look as if it had been recently.
During the morning the plaintiff made
a motion for permission to amend the
complaint, 30 as to embrace provision
relative to prospective damages, on the
ground that in the present condition of
the river it ia constant menace to prop
erty below the city.
The trial will be resumed this morn
