MISERLY MEANNESS.
THE WAY JURIEs ARE TREATED
BY THR COUNTY.
Twelve Reputable Mon Locked Up in u
Bsggarly Little Room and Made
to Pay for Their
Meals.

It certainly cannot be the intention oi
the board of supervisors OF Los Angeles
county and the district attorneys Office
to exhibit niggardliness in its treat
ment of term trial jurors in civil cases
in the superior court that smacks Of
barbarism, but it looks ASST they were
showing mean parsimoniousness that
deserves public attention.
The jurors in a case tried in depart
ment six of the superior court are men
who do not talk much, bnt they have
told some things to their friends that
deserve to be noticed.
The case was the damage suit Of
Geimer vs.. Matthews. II was on trial a
couple of days, and the jury went out
Friday afternoon about O'Clock. They
were not able to agree upon verdict
and when supper time came were taken
out to supper by Deputy Sheriff Rector,
who was in charge of them. They were
required to pay for their suppers.
II had been directed that If they
agreed they could return sealed verdict
and 90 home, but they could not come
anywhere near an agreement. They
were in a email jury room, which con-
tanned tables and chairs. 1t had only
one window, and is one OF the small
rooms in the court house, not being
more than rs feet long by 10 wide.
As the night wore on some of the
jurors, who are elderly men, began to
feel very much broken up in the cramp-
ed and stfffy little room. They ap-
pealed to the depury sheriff to take
them to the court room of department
one, in the gallery of which cots have
been provided for all night juriee. The
technical deputy said he had no au-
thority to grant their request.
The consequence was that the jurors
were obliged to sit up all night in chairs
in room where they could not move
around, and by morning some of them
were absolutely sick.
But to cap the climax of the rough
treatment received, when day dawned
and they were taken to breakfast, the
same stingy policy had been pursued,
and they were obliged to pay for their
breakfasts.
II is bad enough for business men to
be taken from their business. but when
it is remembered that the veriest Grim
ipals are treated better than this term
trial jury In the superior court, it can
be characterized as nothing short of
outrageous,

A NARROW ESCAPE.


A Serious Accident Averted by the
Prompt Action Of Ofhcer shannon.
What came very near being serious
accident, probably involving human
life, but for the prompt and valiant
action OF Officer Shannon, occurred at
the junction of Main and Spring streets
about 2 80 yesterday afternoon.
Harry Eager, an employo OF Jacoby
Bros, attempted to board north-bound
cable car just as II was rounding the
curve at the junction. In jumping, his
foot missed the foot rail, and hanging
on by his hands he was dragged on the
ground in momentary peril Of being
crushed by the wheels.
Officer Shannon, who happened to be
standing at the corner, took in the situ-
alton at a glance and springing forward
he grasped Eager around the waist and
held him away from the car until it
could be stopped. This is the second
event of this kind in which Shannon
has figured, the first being in Boyle
Heights in May last, where he saved
George Meyer from being run over.

ready formulated his plan. He will be
ready to send the ladybirds next month
to any place where they are required.
There must, however, be written
application to the state board OF horti-
culture from the person wanting q
colony.
Mr.. Craw said in conclusion that the
result of the examination OF Mr..
Cooper's place had been eminently sat
isfactory, and that the horticulturists
would derive great benefit from the
Australian bug imported by Prof. Koe-
belle.
He will remain in Southern California
for several days in connection with his
duties. Prof. Koebsle went north last
night to inspect some colonies of beetles
of various kinds in orchards in the
northern part OF the state.

Tho Reason.

The precedence which Maier & Zobe-
lein's beer is gaining over all others in
this section is certainly phenomenal.
This fact, however, we'll demonstrates the
inevitable result of conscientious atten-
tion given goods by their manufacturers.
Nothing but the best material regard.
less Of price, enters into the beer made
by these gentlemen. whose name alone
has grown in this section to be an assur.
ance of this fact. This bser being more
over made right here at home is always
fresh, which is as necessary . requisite
in drinks as the condition OF the atmos-
phere is to respiration. As this beer
represents home industry of much
worth and magnitude. it is moreover en- I.
titled to every encouragems ant from our
consumers. Maier & Zobelein, however,
ask no more than fair trial OF their
beer when it's superior virtues will
speak for themselves.

ROYAL Rainmnker.

King Lobengula has the reputation of
being "A remarkably good hand at making
a Thunderstorm, and in this he gives way
TO no man. remember one day in June
the month in the whole year in which
you least expect rain-some natives had
brought large python into camp and
were singing some OF their rain songs 1t
is sudden death TO any native in Matabele-
land who If he sees python does not by
some means or other manage TO secure 1t
and bring il In alive. The king took pos
session of the reptile and said he must go
and make rain. laughed at this and
said did not think he could do so, to
which the king replied, "You win see"
The python was skinned alive, its liver
taken out and cooked, and the usual rain
making rites performed. Curiously enough,
just before shutdown the sky clouded over,
and soon afterward one Of the heaviest
thunderstorms had ever seen broke over
the place. Next morning the king asked
me If a white man could make thunder
storm like that2 said, tNo, king, II we
could get you down among the farmers in
the Karoo, we could guarantee you for
