LAXNEss IN POISON SALES.

A Case Which illustrates Drugglsts'
Nom Observance of the Law.
The druggists of Los Angeles, or some
OF them, are very lax regarding the sale
OF deadly drugs. If person wishes
poison of almost any description he can
get it without the slightest trouble.
There have been several instances
within the last year where suicide has
been committed in this city, owing to q
disregard of the law on this subject.
To illustrate the point in question, the
other day young lady, feeling some
what ill on account of overwork, pur-
whenever she pleased. She had no pre-.
scription. signed no book, and gave no
reason for using ii. The druggist sold
her the poison without even questioning
her.
Within two hours after she purchased
the drug che was being resusctated by
a physician. She had gone to her room
and inhaled the stuff until unconscious
ness had overtaken her.
Not content with this performance che
repeated the inhalation the following
evening. The result was more ludi-
crous. She had produced sleep, and
while recovering appeared to be in q
comatose state. Getting up from her
bed she deliberately walked into gen.
tleman's room. Gazing in half dazed
condition around the room she comically
inquired, "Where am I at ?"
The gentleman informed the lady OF
her position and endeavored to persuade
her to return to her room, as he was un-
accustomed to having ladies call in mid
night habiliments.
The chloroform user was taken in
hand by friends and sent whence she
came. The druggist is still selling her
the poison whenever she calls for it..
One of these mornings another coroner's
jury will render verdict of death
from an overdose OF chforoform."

Prof. T. s. Lowe Of Pasadena and ex-

rated for the event, and no expense will
be spared to make 1t success in every
way.

As an example of how the moneyed
men regard this section, and particularly
those localities where an abundance of

of the fact that the Azusa Valley Irri-

of their water system, in pipes IS inches
in diameter. This extension will be q

a cost of hundreds of thousands OF dol

WANTS THAT MONEY,
And Treasurer Shorb's Bonds
men Are to Be Sued.
The Bankers Proposition Not Salts
factory to the Supervisors.
Two Methods of Proceeding offered by
the Clearing House Resscted.
The Treasurer Must Make
the Deficit Good.

The board OF supervisors yesterday
took decisive action with reference to
County Treasurer ShTrb and the funds
OF the county in the dsfunct City bank.
II was thought several days ago that
some OF the bankers who called on the
board had made satisfactory arrange
ment with them by which the $4,000
county money in the City bank would
be paid by the bankers and that there
would be no necessity OF proceeding to
extreme measures.
Yesterdays developments. however,
showed that the supervisors are very shy
about doing anything except holding
Mr.. Shorb and his Ibondsmen to strict
accountability for the amount tied up In
closed bank.
What the bankers wanted was to have
the supervisors agree to some arrange
ment whereby, II they advanced money,
they would not lose their rights to re-
cover from Deputy County Treasurer
L. Grande Belts and his bondsmen.
And this the board has declined to do,
looking simply and solely to the treas
urer and his bondsmen, without refer-
ence to protecting any OF Mr.. Shorb's
bondsmen.
The matter came up yesterday in the
shape OF two propositions submitted by
the bankers to the supervisors. They
were ae follows:

there were Few glances of sympatl

hidly curious stares of the little,
crowd that filed the Jail yard.
Tho sheriff's deputies had attended
to the details. The trap was set.
ready to be sprung and in an instant
send a man into the great beyond.
The moose had been made carefully
of the best hemp rope, CREASED with
tallow for that occasion. The pro-
cession had moved up the steps to
the platform.
With business-like dignity the
sheriff, who had been notified, step
ped from his Office, crossed the court.
yard, and mounted the scaffold with
the death warrant in his hand. He
read the document in a calm voice,
as one would a notice of a sheriff's
sale.
"And now, SIR" he said, turning
to the condemned man, t'you are at
liberty to speak if there is anything
on your mind"
Throughout his trial, in the dark
hours after his sentence, through the
last night of life, and while viewing
curiously from his cell the rays of
the last sunrise he would ever see on
earth, the victim of the law had been
stoically sullen. Emotion had never
shown itself on his face. He had
taken his fate philosophically from
the first, making no defense, saying
nothing when the stern judge had
given him an opportunity to before
passing sentence. Few noticed it,
but it seemed as if tear glistened
in his eye then. Addressing himself
to the sheriff he said, in a suppressed
tone:
Wont you shake hands, my boy,
before go?"
The sheriff did not hear him, or if
he did no one could have told it. He
was still the business-like executive
officer of the county in which he
lived; nothing more.
II know l didn't treat you right"
the condemned man continued, show
ing trace of excitement, NOR did
your mother, either; but a word OF
comfort to a man that's to die isn't
much. Won't you say something"
Twenty years of battling with the
world on his own hook had hardened
the sheriff's heart Silently he mo-
toned the assistants to buckle the
straps, adjust the cap, and fix the
moose.
Then with steady hand and un-
wavering countenance he pressed the
button and sent his father into etern-
ity.
