FICTITIOUS LOTS.
Attempt to Swindle a Los
Angeles Woman.
The Prompt Action of Recorder Glynn
May Defeat the Plans of
the Swindlers.

Another case Of swindling by means of
fraudulent deeds came to light yesterday.
Several days ago Recorder Glynn re-
ceived package of deeds from Los All
sees County to be recorded in this city, as
The property conveyed is located in San
Francisco.
An examination OF the deeds and the
names of the parties soon convinced the
Recorder that there was game behind the
deeds and that somebody was being
swindled. AS the last person to whom the
property was conveyed was woman the
Recorders view of the matter became
strengthened.
The first deed purported to convey a
piece of property 350x250 on the corner of
Y street and Seventeenth avenue, and was
from r. II. Fletcher to George T. Harris.
This document was executed on March 9,
1892, but was not ackno wledged before a
notary until December 5, 1892, nine months
after. In the deed the name of the grantee
had been changed with chemicals.
The second deed was a conveyance of
the same property from George T. Fletcher
10 c. w. Hale. and was executed and ac-
knowledged on January 1S, 1885, in Los
Angeles.
The third deed was a conveyance of two
lots of the property from C. w. Hale to
Mabel Lemos, on MAY g.
Mrs. Lemos sent the deeds to this CITY
TO be recorded.
On investigating the matter it was found
at the Recorders Office that neither
Fletcher nor Hale, nor Harris had any
right, title or interest in the property.

notorious Count p. Won Rulohoosbaske.

NO FRAME SCHOOLS.
Chief Sullivan Says They Are Ter
ribie Mistakes.

AT meeting of the Fire Committee of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday after
noon the petition of the Board of Educa-
ton for permission to erect frame build
Ing as an addition to the school on the
southeast corner of Bush and Stockton
streets came up for consideration.
The committee had reported against the
petition al previous meeting. but agreed
TO hear what the School Directors had to
say in the matter. Chairman Good win
stated that the reason the committee had
denied the petition was because Chief Sui
livan Of the Fire Department had so recon-
mended.
President Hyde of the Board of Educa-
ti0n, who was present, said that the Ian
guage of the communication Of the School
Board was unfortunate in that it simply
stated that a building would be erected on
the southeast corner OF Bush and Stockton
stree's. The fact was that all the School
Department wanted to do was to make an
addition to the buildings already erected
The building vas occupied by the Com
mereial High School, one of the most i'm
portant in the city. The school had grown
largely and had now 16 classes. The In
crease in attendance had necessitated the
addition of building to accommodate
three more classes. The Supervisors
should either give the money to build
brick structure, or allow the board to erect
frame addition. There was no other
place where the School Department could
put the pupils of the Commercial High
School. The additions would cost $4,000,
while a brick addition would cost three
times that amount.
Supervisor Day asked if the School De-
partment could not utilize some of the
spare room in the Girls High School for
the extra classes III the Commercial High
School
President Hyde replied that such thing
was an impoSsibility, as the theory or the
two schools was entirely different.
Supervisor DAY. will tell you where
you can get a school. There's the Coggs-
we'll School.
Hyde-Your hair will be gray before the
School Department will get that building.
Chief Sullivan said that he was opposed
to the erection of the frame building. He
did not believe in the city erecting frame
buildings either inside or outside of the
fire limits. The erection of frame school
buildings WAS a terrible mistake. If the
Supervisors granted such a privilege to
the city. why not give it to anybody who
comes along?
The committee took the subject under
advisement.

AN IMPROVISED SLUNGSHOT.
The Weapon of an Ex-Convict Drunk
With Beer.

A disgraceful row took place yesterday
afternoon in disreputable house on Sec
ond and Minna streets. The house is a
rendezvous for bad characters and is con-
ssantly watched by the police. Yester-
day a man named John Schainck, an ex-
convict, oyerladen with steam beer, went
on the rampage and wanted TO clear out
everybody in the house.
He improvised murderous-looking
weapon. consisting of large ball of
pounded tinfOil as hard as iron. Placing
this In handkerchief he began striking
with the deadly slungshot everybody ne
met.
The ex-convict managed to run across
Mary O'Connor and Paul Jennings in one
of the rooms and pounded both of them
with the slungshot. He struck Jennings on
the head with the weapon and in ficted an
ugly cash. Mary OCOnnor was hit on the
back and in the neck.
The policemen called in arrested
Srhainck. The two injured persons were
treated at the Receiving Hospltal. where it
was found that their injuries were only

The inquest on the body of David B.
Brown was resumed at 1 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The witnesses examined
were Captain Douglass, Sergeant Bethel.
ex-Chef of Police Ellis, o. Madison,
Benjamin Clark, Detective Rogers and
Mary Hogan. who all testified as to the
character, happy disposition and pleasant
relations of the deceased.
Dr. Leyison, who assisted in making the
autopsy on the body. expressed the opinion
that ny pertrophy of the heart was hardly
sufficient to cause death. There was no
evidence of asphyxia present and the lungs
were full of air. The stomach was very
nearly empty. He did not think death
was caused by drowning and no evidence
existed that it was caused by shock. From
medical standpoint be thought opium
was the cause of death.
The jury retired about O'Clock and in
half an hour returned with the following
verdict: THAT the deceased came to his
death from the effects of opium poisoning.
How and by whom administered and for
what purpose is unknown TO the jury"
The Coroner. after the jury had been
dismissed, said he had TO be satisfied with
the verdict as it was perhaps in accO rd-
ance with the evidence, but his own idea
was that it was a case of suicide.
