PRETTY LILLE MURRAY.
SHE AND CLEMENT STILL UNDER
LOCK AND KEY.
DIR. Pepper Thinks That He Knew
Clement When He Called Himself
Charley Clark-Other Stories
About tho Two.

Mrs. Lille Murray and G. Fl. Clement
still occupied apartments in the county
jail yesterday, and the officers think
their operations in Los Angeles will be
pretty we'll known in few days. Glenn
ent has claimed that nothing can be done
with him, because his name as signed
on the $40 note given by Mrs. Murray
for buggy is his genuine name.
Some doubt was thrown on this claim
yesterday when DIR. G. T, Pepper called
at the county Jail and asked to see the
prisoner. When taken to his cell he
called him Charley Clark. Clement re-
fused to answer to that name, but DR..
Pepper is almost positive that he recog-
nized in him a gambler whom he knew
as Charley Clark.
In connection with the cases, story
was told to HERALD reporter last night
by M. Tomich, an old resident of Los
Angeles, who has recently been adver-
tiHing two horses for sale in this paper.
He said that two or three days ago
woman who answers the description of
the blonde beauty in the county Jail
called at his home near the corner OF
San Pedro and Wall streets on Third.
and asked about the horses for sale. He
was away at Monrovia. The lady called
again that evening, when he was at
home, and he walked up street with her,
talking about the horses. She said she
would take the horees, but wanted him
to wait at the corner of Third
and Spring streets while she
saw about the financial part
OF the transaction. He saw the woman
meet young man at the corner of
Third and Main streets who answers the
description of Clement, and when
Tomich met her at Third and Spring
streets he saw the same man waiting
around. She told Tomich that Mr..
Golch, a real estate man on Broadway,
would draw up the necessary papers, and
they went to the Office, where he saw
the same young man. The price of the
horses was 1925, and the lady wanted to
give him check for $25 and eight notes
of $25 each. Mr.. Tomich was not salts.
fed with the appearance Of things, and
told the parties that he would meet
them the next day, when it could be ar
ranged. But as far as they were con-
cerned, the'next day never came.

Case Decided.

The Electric Railway Compaoy's Pole
Case Decided.
The electric pole cases against Mr..
Dillingham; and Mr.. Bacon were dis
missed by Justice Seaman yesterday, on
motion of Assistant City Attorney Dunn.
Mr.. Dunn announced to the court that
he was partly responsible for the COM
plication. He had overlooked the ordi-
nance prohibiting the posting of adver-
tisemsnts on electric poles, and had told
Captain Barrett it would be all right to
give Mr.. Dillingham; permission to use
the poles. Upon this statement, and on
the understanding that the advertise
ments would be taken from the poles
and no more put on them, the court di-
rected the dismissal of the cases.

possession. He claims he was with an
other boy and wanted to ride to a news

FALLEN OUT.


Branscombe and Damron Come Nearly
to Blows.
There was an amusing scene in Justice
Bartholemew's court room yesterday
afternoon and for a while it looked very
much as though there was going to be
busy times right then and there in the
august presence OF the court.
1t was case where two old friends
fell out, Harvey Branscombe and At
torney James M. Damron. Damron and
Branacombe have always sustained the
warmest personal relations. Through
all of the ex-Rspublican leaders,
troubles, through all OF his trials upon
charges of forgery Branscombe has
etayed with him like unto a brother.
He assisted Damron to escape from the
officers of the law and otherwise be-
friended him.
Now, yesterday, Damron had Brans-
combe and q man Dave Antunez
brought into court for proceedings sup
Elementary to execution to ascertain if
they had any property that could be
levied upon to satisfy Judgment of
$130 obtained against them by Samuel
Cooper.
Branscombe and Antunez were rep
resented in court by ]. Marion Brooks.
Brsnscombe when asked by Damron if
he had any property replied:
81 would have property sufficient to
pay all of my debts if had what you
had taken away from me-"
Antunez when examined said that If
Damron would pay him $65 he owed
him he, (Antunez), would pay that
much on the judgment.
Things were getting quite warm about
this time and the parties, Damron,
Antunez and Branscombe, adjourned to
the ante room and had it not been for
interference of outside parties blood
would have been shed.

Plenty Left Over.

In a certain church in Ireland, a
young priest was detailed to preach.
This occasion was his first appear
ance, and he took for his text, "The
Feeding of the Multitude" lie said:
"And they fed ten people with ten
thousand leaves of bread and ten
thousand fishes"
An old Irishman said:
THAT'S no miracle; begorra, could
do that myself" which the priest
overheard.
The next Sunday the priest an
nounced the same text, but he had it
right this time. He said:
"And they fed ten thousand people
on ten loaves of bread and ten fishes. F."
He waited a second or two, and
then leaned over the pulpit and said:
"And could you do that, Mr..
Murphy"
Mr.. Murphy replied:
"And, sure, your reverence,
could"
@And how could you do it, Mr..
Murphy?" said the priest
"And, sure, your reverence, I could
do it with what was left over from
last Sunday"

The people of Minnesota have
been instructed by the lawmaking
department. of that State not to look
upon oleomargarine unless it is red.
An act of the Minnesota Legislature,
passed at the last session, requires
all substitutes for butter offered for
sale within the boundaries of that
commonwealth to be colored pink.
The oleomargarine manufacturers OF
Chicago and Kansas City have at.
tackled the constitutionality of this
law. They say that oleomargarine is
naturally of yellow color and that
any process by which that color could
be changed to pink would injure the
product and destroy it's character.
They want an Injunction to prevent
the Dairy Commissioner from enforc-
ing the law. For the sake Of such
citizens of Minnesota as may be COM
PEELED to use oleomargarine as sub
stitute for butter it is hoped that the
Injunction will be granted. Oleo-
margarine in it's natural state is bad
enough as an article of diet: red
oleomargarine would not do at all.

great stroke was made the other day,

which he had become convinced. He
announced that in future he would
not advertise patent remedies which
were frauds. OF course nothing could
tend more surely to cram his columns
with advertisements of remedies that
were not frauds So now he sells an
implied Endorsement with every line
of his advertising space, and can
doubtless make his rates as high as
those Of the religious weeklies, which
work somewhat on the same plan.

SEWAGE FARMS.
Berlin's Experience Has Proved MOST
Highly Renumerative.

Highly Renumerat1ve.
For some twenty years the city OF
Berlin has used it's sewage as
fertilizer, with the most satisfactory
results. The many advantages OF
the method, it's cleanliness ana
purity. are highly commended by a
writer in Cosmopolitan. He states
that such is the cleansing influence
of the earth on which the sewage is
dispersed that the water in the
bitches on the farms themselves IS
perfectly pure and sweet, and that 1t
is only sentimental precaution
that makes a regulation against
using it, He describes as follows his
visit to the sewage farms: After a
short railway ride we dismounted
at the station Blankenburg, immedl-
ately adjoining this great sewage
farm of about two thousand seven
hundred acres. The road along
which we walked was deep with
sand. On either side Of us, however,
were fields, rich with a most luxuri-
Gus growth-felds which, but for
the irrigation to which they are
subjected, would be as fruitless as
the road on which we walked. | noted
magnificent artichotes, tomatoes,
lilies of the valley, violets, apples,
pears, gooseberries, roses, beets, in
short, every variety of -four, fruit
and vegetable, growing upon soil
which, ten years ago, would hardly
hold the coarsest shrubs. The vari-
Gus sewage farms surrounding Berlin
have under irrigation SO far about
thirteen Thousand acres The city
is, however, acquiring more land for
this purpose, as funds become avail
able. Since the city has adopted the
present method of cleansing itself,
the land to which the sewage is
applied has more than doubled In
value. In order to realize what a
great work Berlin has accomplished,
not merely for the cleanliness and
health Of the city, but also for the
benefit of the surrounding country,
and the reduction of taxes, we must
bear in mind that her position is in
the center of vast sandy plain,
diversified by mOrass and swamp.
Yet on this soil are now being raised
crops that would astonish an Iowa
State fair. | was told that on some
fields that we passed seven crops of
grass had been cut in one year, off of
one piece of land, two acres having
yielded alone twenty-five tons. And
this grass is of a most excellent
quality, as is attested by all the
farmers of the neighborhood, who
seek to get it for their COWS.
