A Raneher Encounters aud Stays a
Mountain Lion.
The San Diego Union says: B. 81.
Burk of the Diamond ranch, near
Fosters station, is the hero of contest
with big mountain lion, in which the
lion was laid low. The trouble hap
pened the other day when Burk was
hunting. Without warning the big
fellow jumped into the trail and looked
calmly at his visitor, seeming in no
haste to get away.
Burk, after q moment of surprise,
raised his rife and gave the lion shot
full in the face. A most interesting
scene followed, the lion rolling over,
snarling and clawing at his wounds,
and attempting to attack Burk. An
other shot quickly followed, increased
the activity Of the lion for time. but
he was too badly wounded to get at his
slayer, and third shot laid him out.
The beast was magnificent specimen.
measuring six feet and half from the
end OF his nose to the tip of tail, and

THE TITLE TO A DIAMOND
IT CAUSES A LIVELY LAWSUIT BE.
FORE JUSTICE AUSTIN.
8. L. Burson Loaned Some Money to
Adolphe Meyer on a Ring Which
Proved to Be the Property of
Mrs. Lulu Stevens.

s. L. Burson was the defendant in q
civil suit yesterday morning brought by
Mrs. Lulu Stevens in Justice Austin's
court, to recover possession OF diamond
ring valued at $50. and 500 damages.
Burson is youth who helps run the
news stand at the Hollenbeck hotel.
Hotel clerks, hotel proprietors and self
respecting hotel employees in general
wear diamonds, and when Adolphe
Meyer came to Burson and asked for
loan of $3.50 on $50 diamond ring the
latter saw his opportunity and seized it.
He was a little suspicious about the
ring and made some inquiries which
were not entirely satisfactory, one gem
tlemsn declaring mis- belief that the
''sparkler" belonged to Mrs. Stevens.
A short time afterwards Meyer re-
turned the So 30 and recovered poeses-
zion of the ring, which he wore for a
week; he then came to Burson again
and asked for $l5 on the stone. Burson
who had seen the ring on Meyers per-
son for some days thought it was all
right, and handing over the $15 received
the diamond and once more became the
proud possessor ola ''sure enough" dia-
mond. 9
Now comes the narrowing part OF the
story. Mr.. Adolphe Meyer suddenly
left for Denver, leaving a letter in which
he Acknowledged having taken the ring
from Mrs. Lulu Stevens, who keeps
lodging house in East Los Angeles.
where the peculstive Adolphe had
roomed Mrs. Stevens brought action
for the recovery Of her property and 500
damages, and Justice Austin ordered
judgment for her on both counts. The
guileless and trusting Burson is out SIS,
money lent to the FESTIVE Meyer on the
ring, 500 damages and SO costs, and is
once more only an ordinary news agent,
and % an hotel without q diamond.
And Mr.. Burson, on hearing Justice
Austin's decision, was hot, so hot that
when Mrs. Stevens called him aside to
suggest compromising the amount of
damages, the incensed youth stalked
proudly by her and listened not, and
somebody in the court room humming
the suggestive refrain of the good old
cong, There are moments when," etc.,
made his exit from the court.

THAT INVESTIGATION.

a.aAhrr


1t Did Not Pan Out Worth a Cont to Its
Author.
E. W. Campbell, a bill.poster of this
city, having something OF long-sticking
grudge against George McLain, one Of
the lessees of the Grand opera house,
made complaint against him on Mon
day to the common council, alleging
that McLain, while acting as a member
OF the board of fire commissioners in
and for this city. was representing him
self to be police commissioner and
threatening managers OF other theaters
with loss OF protection from the police
unless they gave his firm (McLain &
Lehman) their bill posting work to do.
When called dawn to specify who mad
been threatened in this way, he named
Mr. Frederick Cooper, manager of the
Park thester, formerly called Hazards
pavilion.
The council appointed three of its
members to try this case and determine
the truth OF the charges, and that COM
mittee met yesterday afternoon in the
city hall.
Mr.. Slower was the first witness called
and testified that in the absence OF
Mr. Cooper, in whose employ he then
was, Mr.. McLain had called at the Park
theater and asked for the job of post
ing bills for the house. As he offered
to do it at San Francisco rates, he told
McLain to 90 ahead and do it. He sub
sequently told Mr.. Cooper about it,
who said be supposed it was the best
that could be done. When Mr.. Cooper
took the stand, he fully corroborated the
testimony OF the previous witness, and
on being asked if Mr.. McLain had ever
threatened him with loss of police
protection, Mr.. Cooper promptly replied
that the matter OF police protection had
never once been mentioned in all his
dealings with Mr.. McLain. The COM
mittee then took a vote and unani.
mously agreed to report back to the
council recommending the case be dis
missed for want of proof.
