A VERY SAD CASE.
GEORGE N. DEWEY SENT TO THE
AGNEwS ASYLUM.
The Well-Known Photographer Found
to Be Insane-He Is Afflicted r
With Grand Imag-
infhgs.

George N. Dewey, one of the best
known photographers In Los Angeles,
was finally committed to the insane
asylum at Agnews yesterday by Judge
Shaw. The case ia a peculiar one.
About month ago Mr.. Dewey, whe has
always been an alert, active business
man, began to act queerly. His mind
ran to grand speculaticns of all kinds
and he started in to make the most
astonishing purchases Of all kinds of
articles. The very best of everything
and great deal Of it., to keep up with
the gigantic fortune he supposed he
POSSESSED and the schemes be had in his
brain for future fortunes. He believed
he was going to build q railroad around
the United States in time for the worlds
fair. He thought he was about to build
big hotel at Pomona, and that the
name OF that place would soon be
changed to Deweyville. 1t was one OF
the least of his schemes to divide
Southern California into number OF
states, and the grand imaginings of the
strained brain of the patient were start
ling In the extreme.
He did not realize yesterday when he
was questioned by Drs. Wernigk and
MacGowan the full import Of the exam
ination, and kept up ceaseless stream
of talk, sending forimaginary witnesses.
and describing his thousand and one
projects to Judge shaw. His wife and
family were In court, and they wore such
q shocked expression to hear their loved
one uttering such gibberish that it was
painful to be present.
1t would not have been 80 bad II Mr..
Dewey had not tried to carry out some Of
his ideas, but he was spending money
right and left, Avishly, upon all sorts Of
foolish things.
Mr.. Dewey did not observe when the
commitment was made, and was asking
the deputy sheriffs to get witnesses.
Judge Shaw told him he would take the
matter under consideration, and Mr..
Dswey went rapidly out Of the court
room, az he thought, to get some i'm
portant witnesses, saying be would be
back in few minutes. In this manner
he was coaxed to the county jail, where
he will remain until sent north. II is
one OF the saddest cases of insanity that
has happened in the city.

BLAIR A BAD BABY BURGLAR,
Little Eddy the Alleged Infan-
tile Bad Man.
Four Burglaries Charged Up Against
the Little Fellow.
He Is the Boy who Is Charged With
Shooting Playmate and Stand
ing or q Crowd OF Persons
with Revolver.

Eddy Blair is only IA, and when he
sas in the dock yesterday, swinging his
legs, which have not yet reached the
dignity of long pants, his feet hardly
touched the floor.
But his short pants and his age are
all that is youthful about Eddy.
Eddy is very nearly q murderer, and
and confessed burglar, and Eddy has a
hard face and fishy, CLASSY eye which
never once quailed during his examina-
tion yesterday on charge of burglary.
Blair is the precocious child who held
up youthful companion a month ago,
and shot him through the shoulder be-
cause the victim did not pungle up
quick enough.
Eddy escaped after holding off crowd
with his loaded gun, but was arres ted
and recognized at the Jail as youth
who was wanted for four burglsries.
On one of these charges he was exam
ined yesterday.
Mrs. Chapman of 2O17 East Sixth
street, stated that she returned home on
the evening of the 4th of July and found
her. house in great state of disorder.
Her baby's bank containing $1.30 had
been broken open and the contents
stolen, and about gallon of jam had
been eaten.
Detective Auble testified to Blair tell
ing him he had committed the burglary,
and others also. Justice Seaman held
the boy to the superior court in bonds
| of $500.

moved that the matter be deferred for
one week.
Mr.. Bradish thought that the matter
depanded immediate attention, and
/. should be settled before next months
saloon licenses were iesued.
Mr.. Bosbyshell was of the opinion
that it had better be postponed for one
month, rather than be hurried through.
At this point Mr.. Tufts had an i'm.
portant engagement, which he left to
iul6ll.
Mr.. Bosbyshell moved that commit
tee be appointed to report on the pro-
posed rules and regulations.
There was another dead silence, and
altar the full stop had lasted some MIN
-utes, Mayor Rowan arose and said in q
rather sarcastic manner:
care you fellows all intending 40 run
.or office nextterm? don't know why
you shoulk all be go weak -kneed. None
OF us ought to shirk this responsibility.
This evil Of yeilng men and women going
to ruin through the side entrances TO
saloons is agrowing one, and needs i'm
mediate action. am not ashamed to
lead the movement; I am proud of the
responsibility"
Mr.. Weldon moved that Messrs. Bosby-
shell, Bradish and Tufts be appointed q
committee 10 report on the proposed
/rulen.
Mr.. Bradish objected strongly to Mr..
Weldon usurping the chairs preroga-
tive and appointing the COMMITTEES.
Mayor Rowan seconded Mr.. Weldon q
motion, but voted against the commit
tee, because Mr.. Weldon had no right
to appoint IL.
1t was then moved by Mayor Rowan
and seconded by Mr.. Bosbyshell that
Messrs. Bradish, Bosbyshell and Tufts
be appointed the committee, with Mr..
Bosbyshell chairman, and the motion
was carried.
At this point the board adjourned
until Tuesday next.

A NEW DEPARTURE.

Tho Court House Janitors Not 10 BE
Disturbed.
Deputy Sheriff Dave Martin, one oil
the most dignified members of Sheriff
Cline's force, was thunderstruck yester-
day when he was told by the board oi
supervisors that he would be expected
to make the beds Of locked-up jurors in
department one. The supervisors laps.
ing from that rare quality OF the recogni-
tion of the eternal fitness of things
decided to impose this delicate task upon
Dave.
1t is undstood that the supervisors
have been seriously considering this
step for some time, and that they will
follow it up by having the deputy county
clerks clean out the cuspidors in their
court rooms and dust the judicial furni-
ture every morning. They believe that
the janitors should not be disturbed in
their morning and evening converse
ziones upon the stairways, and don't
think the deputy sheriffs do enough
work for their princely stipends. Dave
made up the beds last evening for the
murder.trisl jury, and displayed great
expertness in the job.

LEAGUE BASEBALL.

The Series to Begin at Athletic Park
This Afternoon.
Los Angeles returns from their north
efn trip yesterday morning, and are
now in time for. the first game of the
series, which will be played at O'Clock
this afternoon at Athletic park. The
Osklands will be here today, and the
outlook Is good for some earnest play
ing. A number OF bets have been made
that the Angela win pull themselves cut
of the last notch and come very near
the top Of the ladder before the season
is six weeks older. Such bets have
been made and won before now, and
what the Angels have once accomplished
ought to presage the outcome OF their
present efforts. They all want to be
nearer the heod of the class, for the rot
ten row is an odd position for full
fledged Angel to occupy.
The lovers OF baseball should encour.
age the local players by attending the

Expects to Have Arms GRATED to Him.

Expects to have Arms Grated TO Him.
Theodore Lee, the armless newsdealer,
who went east recently with a vague
idea that he could get arms grated on
to his stumps, has been heard from. He
has been inquiring among specialists re-
garding his case, and he finds that he may
yet secure arms. irst, the arms that
are to be grated on to his stumps must
be taken from healthy man or woman,
and the hope is held out to Mr.. Lee that
he may find some person-condemned to
be hanged for instance-who would, for
{ 900 say, to be given to relatives or
charity, allow an arm to he amputated
for grating purposes. Mr.. Lee has IN
substance been informed that the splice
would have to be made just above the
elbow joint.
When Mr.. Lee has found person
who will submit to the operation, they
will have to be brought together in such
position as to permit of the arms of
both, which are to be operated upon, be-
ing placed in plaster of paris casts SO
that they cannot be moved. Then it is
proposed to cut the back part of both
the arms, alsc cutting through the bone
The arm that is to be grated on to Mr.
Lees stump or that portion of it that
is cut away at the first operation is to
be adjusted and fastened to the stump
and allowed to remain until it heals and
there is evidence of circulation between
the stump and the parl that is grated
IN. The second operation will be the
rafting of the remainder of the inside
PORTION of the arm, together with the
artery and tho nerve. This operation
it is proposed, however, is not to be un-
dertaken until the surgeons are satisfied
tnat the circulation through the part of
the arm already grated on is sufficient
to nourish and support the new forearm

in this locality, which forces trge
amount of warm water OF the Gult
Stream into the Gulf of st. Lawrence,
but the misfortune of this locality Is the
cold Arctic current, which is loaded with
enormous quantities of ice which Is con-
stantly flowing down by the west coast
of Greenland through Ballln's Bay, Dav-

dor until it reaches Belle Isle Strait
through which ii fills the Gulf OF st.

Here is strange geographical arrange
ment which has no parallel on earth.
Here the warm water of the Gulf Stream
is flowing into the southern extremity OF
the Gulf OF st. Lawrence, while the
cold Arctic current Is flowing into the
northern extremity of the Gulf. Now
these two opposite currents neutrallze
each other, the cold water converts the
heat of the warm water into fog, which
rises and buries up all of that country
with heavy bank of fog, producing a
climate that is damp, dreary, cold and
repulsive. Now the Gulf of st. Law
renee is in the same latitude of central
France and southern Germany, which Is

be warmer than any country in Europe

in climate would extend over the entire
Atlantic coast from the Gulf of st. Law
