The Literary Society of the West
side continues to grow in both num-
bers and interest Its regular weekly
meetings are productive of pleasure
and instruction TO those who partici-
pate therein. Such organizations
should exist in connection with our
schools and be adopted by our social
circles generally, as one of the best,
most pleasant and by far the most
profitable forms of social enjoyment.
We would suggest the formation of a
society of this kind on the East side
for the benefit Of all.

PRETTY BUT DANGEROUS.
MEANS OFF ExroKrIoN PRAorIoED
BY GIRL AND HER FELLOW.
She Fishes for Ohumps on the treet and
Mashes Many q Catch-The Hus-
band Always Turns Up In
Time TO Extort Money.

The attention of the police should be
drawn to the operations of pair Of
blackmailers. male and female, who
have been working Los Angeles for the
past two months. The woman is young,
apparently not more than IS or 10 years
of age, and is decidedly pretty, besides
possessing the additional attraction of
an enticing figure. She dresses quietly
and poses as respectable member Of
society. Her male companion is about
26 years old, and has the appearance of
a prize fighter disguised as gentleman.
Their method of procedure is as follows
About s O'Clock the young woman,
charmingly attired, sallies out in the
direction Of Main street or Broadway.
Her associate follows her, always keep
ing, however, to the opposite side of the
street. They then proceed to hunt their
game. The bait, in the person Of the
girl, promenades slowly along the
darker parts of the street
and conducts herself after the
fashion OF the lively young woman out
for lark. She smilea, ogles and firts,
generally keeping her allurements for
the younger and greener portion of 80
ciety. AS the girl is pretty, and appar-
emily young and innocent, it is usually
not long before she hooks victim, who
is led on to propose drink, which he
usually follows with a suggestion of ad-
journment to some private hotel. The
fish is caught, but the fair angler plays
with him a while. She is go afraid :
suppose her husband heard; she has
never done such thing before, and so
on, but eventually she consents, and
then the trouble begins.
A young man who was victimized the
other night told reporter that ne met
the girl in this way, and had reached the
private room stage. He had not been
iive minutes closeted with his insmorata
when the door was burst open and
the lady's companion rushed in,
breathing vows of vengeance, and
demanding of the young fellow what he
meant to do with my wife" In this
case the youth was young man living
with his people at home and well known
among the Los Angeles aristocracy. He
found that the pugilistic gentleman's
outraged honor was open to the salve of
gold. which he applied with soothing
results ana escaped.
The young man only got what be de-
served, bus it is to be hoped that some
day the pair will meet with retiibution,
either in the form of a police officer or
in a muscular individual who will be
able to give Jthe male schemn1er good

BADLY INJURED.

Samuel Smith Receives Dangerous Inju-
ries in Runaway Acciden.,
Samuel Smith, young man employed
as tesmster for D. F. Donegan, the con-
tractor, met with serious if not fatal
accident yesterday morning.
Smith has been in the habit of driving
four horses attached to heavy wagon
to Donegan's ranch every morning and
returning with load OF hay. He was
on his way back yesterday with his
usual load, when the leaders taking
fright at something near Seventh street,
became unmsnageable and bolted. It
was impossible to guide them, and on
attempting to turn round Grand avenue
into Sixth street, the heavy wagon
plunged into an electric light pole. The
pole was snapped off short by the force
Of the collision, and Smith was hurled
out of the wagon, striking the stone side
walk on his head When picked mp he
Was found to be unconscious. He was
Immediately conveyed to the receiving
hospital, where Police Surgeon Bryant
examined his injuries and pronounced
him suffering from concussion OF the
broken shoulder blade and other more or
less severe wounds. The man, who was
in very critical condition, WAS removed
later in the day to the Sisters hospital.

BLANKET INFoRMATIoNs.

Judge smith knocks One Out Again st
Fonda.
Another of those cases in which the
district attorney attempted to draw a
blanket information came up yesterday
morning in Judge Smiths court, and he
ruled as Judge Wade did few days ago
iu similar case knocking out the infor-
nation.
The reformation was one Of three
against Edward Fonda who is accused of
swindling W. Z Coons out Of some $3.50.
Two of these informations stood FIRE and
the demurrers were overruled, the de-
fendant's time for pleading being con-
tinued under them until May 18th. In
these cases Fonda is charged in one in
formation with stealing $50 from Mr..
Coons, and in the other with obtaining
500 from him by falae pretenses.
But the third information in which
the demurrer was sustained had two
counts. In the first Fonda is accused of
stealing 800, and in che second, which
the information sets forth is part of the
same offense, be is charged with obtain
ing the 500 from Mr.. Coons by means OF
false pretenees. The court granted the
district attorney leave to file new in
formation.

LEAGUE BASE BALL.
The San Franciscos to play Series HeI
This Week.


This Week.
Considerable interest centers in the
series of league baseball to be played
here this week. for the reason that it is
quite within the range of the poseibili-
ties that the Angels will go north in the
lead for the pennant race.
As matter of fact they were in the
lead from noon Sunday until the close
OF the afternoon games, for they started
/ In the da7 with q standing of 800, and
at noon Oakland had lost game to San
Francisco, placing the Colonels percent
age at .594 On top of that the Angels won
the first game, raising their standing
to GIL, and hadthey not anticipated the
schedule with Stockton that would have
been the days result as against Oak
lands COG after winning the afternoon
game from San Francisco. However the
local team was in the lead from the close
Of Oakland's morning game until the
later results were accomplished, and
there is no valid reason why they should
not take good lead" this week and
maintain it to the end OF the chapter.
The last few weeks work has demon
strated that manager Lindley and Glen
alvin have picked out team of winners,
and there should be no question of the
support accorded them.
Games will be called this week at 8
O'Clock, excepting Sunday which will be
2:30, as formerly.

guilty and was fined $15 which he paid
Mr.. Oliver was not satisfied with this,
but also got out complaint charging
Mr.. Townsend with threats. He was
arraigned upon that also and placed
under $500 peace bond, which he had
no difficulty about giving.
