A PECULIAR CASE.
Schwain We. Bsville was the title of an
action to set aside deed on the ground
of fraud, heard before Judge Towner
Yesterday. Some three years ago Mrs.
Schwain died, and the property, little
farm near Anaheim, went to the hus-
band of the deceased. Mrs. Bsville, one
OF his daughters, residing in San Fran
cisco, secured in some manner deed to
the property from Mr.. Schwain, and
now he, urged on by his other children,
Mrs. Humphreys of Los Angeles and
Jacob Schwain, instituted the above &C
ton to have the deed set aside. Mr..
Schwain claims that he was mentally
incapable at the time he signed
the deed and did not under
stand the nature of the document,
while Mrs. Beville says she has at divers
times paid money for the support OF her
parents, and also paid $500 mortgage
on the farm. After hearing the evidence
| in the case, which was OF a very conflict
ing character, the arguments of the st-
torneys will be submitted on briefs.
The two sisters, while on the witness
stand, both showed that they had tenn
pers, and it was very evident that but
little sisterly love existed between them.
The poor old man WAS between two 6res,
and no doubt has his hands full.
HE HAD TRAVELLED.
Seven tramps were up feiore the JUS
|
given the usual Eve days in the county
Jail. One seedy looking individual, who
had forlorn look upon his face, is John
Fleming 81 was born in the big city
of London and have been a traveller all
my life. have been from the top cor
per OF Maine to the wave-lashed shores
of the Pacific, and from the border line
on the north to the Gulf of Mexico on
h l. 10 larff Il lO-
the existing circumstances, the roads
being very muddy, would like to go to
the county jail for few days." The
kind hearted justice complied with MIR.
Fleming's request and gave him five
days in the county jail.
WENT BACK ON HIM.
A clipper young man came into the
county clerks Office month or SO ago and
proudly demanded marriage license.
His countenance was wreathed in smiles,
and it was with the greatest of pleasure
that he paid the fee. A few day y's since
he returned to the county clerks Office
with dropping head and downcast eyes
and as he eyed that genial officer, slowly
drew from his pocket g crumpled paper
1t was his marriage license, and as hs
---lSs-' w Uno IUrIOrn looking younc
man that there was second hand store
a Jew doors below and perhaps he might
sell the license there, but the clerk
could not be induced to buy
back the license. The recorder was
more liberal, however, and returned the
lilted. lover the 81 recorders fee. Az
the disappointed man pushed the dollar
down deep into his pocket he remarked
,.lt's bad enough to pay for marriage
Incense when you get the girl, but to
pay forone and then have your intended
go back ON you is more than can stand,
DON'T believe l'll get another marriage
license until l have written contract
from the girl lnsuring payment for the
license should she fail to marry me.''
Ihusly musing, the lover walked out of
the office, ssdder bui wiser man.
