Acton Mans Death.
A Mrs. Shertzer, who lives between

eide yesterday by taking dose of

porary insanity. When found, she was
already dead. An empty strychnine
bottle was found in her room. Mrs.
Sbertzer was the daughter.in.la of a
former Los Angeles merchant, who had
a y.goods store on Spring street, op-
posite Court. She leaves behind her

but was absent in Acton holding an in
quest. Eventually the jnstice of The

case.

nine miles from Acton, to investigate
the death of James Downs, formerly a
Los Angeles hack driver, ard of late a

Company A, OF the Seventh, Will Play
at Battle.
A detail from company A will 90 to
San Pedro on the 18th for drill in ex-
tended order and battle exercises. The
command will make field day of it.
Each man carries forty rounds of ball
cartridge, which will be used against the
enemy" represented by the silhouette
targets used in skirmish firing. An ad-
vance guard goes down the day before to
place the eilhouettes in position at some
point beyond San Pedro that must be
discovered by the scouts of the attacking
force, which will come into position as
though there was real enemy to be
dealt with. The various phases of a
fight between two small forces of infant
ry will be carried out as far as possible.
The value of the fire we'll be known at
the close, as the bullet holes
in the figure targets as measured
against the number of shots fired will
give the percentage of hits.
There will be number of volunteers
from companies G and F and the signal
corps, while the drum and bugle corps
boys are also anxious to take part in
drill of such great Importance in these
days of fire arms of great range and
precision.
Following the drill proper the shoot
ing enthusiasts will enjoy themselves at
firing at the mid ranges, five and six
hundred yards, while the balance of the
expedition put in their time bathing,
fishing and swimming.
Tonight at the armory there will be a
"smoke talk" by Lieutenant Steere, op
The Company in Extended Order, and
instruction particularly for the section
and squad leaders in their duties under
fire. There appears to be an awakening
in military affairs OF the citizen soldier.
Surely such athletic work and quick and
accurate shooting as is now demanded
ought to popularize the guard, leaving
but remembrance of the old days de-
voted exclusively to s'fuss and feathers" :"

THE BRAGG CASE.
A Claim That the Cherokee Doctor
Innocent.

A Claim That the Cherokee Doctor Is
Innocent.
DR.. Bragg, the Cherokee, who was con-
victed of forging deed and sentenced
to the penitentiary. it is claimed by
those interested in him, may turn out
to be innocent. The basis of this claim
is some evidence that is alleged to have
been given yesterday in the case OF San
chez vs. Bragg, by the introduction of
deed from Henry Veiar to Manuel Gotta,
dated June 16, 1885, acknowledged be-
fore Notary Kohler.
The Bragg case in brief was as foilows !:
Manuel Gotta, to escape creditors, decided
| two lots to Henry Vejsr, his clerk. Sub
sequently Gotta decided the lots to Mrs.
Abila, who in turn decided them to
Bragg. Bragg produced deed from Mrs.
Abila to himself bearing the name OF
Henry Vejar. Vejar declared the deed a
forgery, and Bragg was convicted of the
crime, He swore upon the stand that
Vejar had decided the property back to
Gotta before Gotta decided it back to Mrs.
Abila. Vejar denied this; Gotta denied
it. The jury would not credit Bragg,
but believed he had forged WEARS
name to complete the title in himself.
So Bragg was convicted.
Bragg's attorney, searching through
the old archives of Notary Kohler, found
an entry therein, to wit. that on Juue
16, 1886, Vejar did acknowledge before
him deed to Gotta of one certain de.
scribed lot, naming it.
A friend of Bragg's. it is said. recently
pleaded with VeJar and succeeded ap-
parently in getting the latter to change
, his mind.
This explanation, however, is faulty
in not explaining enough, for nothing is
said about the attempts made in the
county recorders Office by Bragg and
Mrs. Abila to change the records and
mutilate the deed in question by means
of the alleged acknowledgement. Con-
siderable more will have to be shown
before the doctor is declared innocent
and released. The evidence against
him at his trial was overwhelming.
