HAYFoRD PAYS HIS FINE.

Tho Attorney Has q SeAnce with the
Police.
Attorney George Hayford spent part
of yesterday afternoon in q tank in the
city Jail, and the cause of his sojourn
with the hobos was his unwiilingness to
dig up $50 for Justice Seaman.
As is already known Hayford was con-
victed of brutal and cowardly assault
upon his wife, the wife-beater using q
loaded cane as a weapon.
The attorney never appeared at any
stage of the justice court proceedings
against him, and on sentence being pro-
nounced, commitment was issued with
orders for service unless the fine. was
paid. Hayford turned up ON Monday
and appealed the case, and sentence was
suspended on the attorney filing bond
for 800.
: But the bond turned out to be straw
manufacture and worthless, vhereupon
Justice Seaman very rightly instructed
Officer johnson to arrest Hayford and
lock him up Until the fine was paid or q
proper bond filed.
Shortly afterwards he was arrested
and taken to the Jail where his abuse
caused considerable mirth.
First of all he demanded that he
should be taken into court at once, but
Justice Seaman sent down word that he
had no use for Mr.. Hayford just then,
and 80 he had to try another plan.
In pathetic tone of voice he implor-
ed Clerk Hensley not to lock him up !;
but his tears were in vain, and he was
searched like any other prisoner.
Before being locked up, the irate at
torney informed the police that they
were ''no gentlemen" and said that they
would have to use force to put him in
Jail. But two stalwart officers stepped
up and Hayford concluded that discre-
tion was the better part Of vsler.
After telephoning for his clerk and
various other people, Mr.. Anderson
appeared upon the scene and paid the
fine, after which Hsyford was released,
leaving the jail with the remark to Police
Clerk Hensley, that he would get even
with him some day, statement which
was received by the assembled specta-
tors with laughter.

THE Gable company occupied con-

courts yesterday in consideration of a
commissioner who should be empowered
to sell that road. The Messrs. Cline and
Collins, OF Los Angeles, and gentleman
named Thomas, of Chicago, were all
named for the post, but no decision was
arrived at. AS the decree will have to
be filled out today, some decision will
necessarily be reached this morning,
when doubtless one of the gentlemen
named will be appointed by the court to
act in the premises.

THE THOMAS ESTATE.

A Son Of the Testator Attacks the
Will.
Yesterday the papers were received
in this city and filed in what promises
to be quite hotly contested will case.
IL is a case in which George II.
Thomas, a son of Henry Thomas, de-
ceased, will attempt to break will left
by his father.
Henry Thomas died in Los Angeles,
November 10, 1892, leaving quite large
estate, some of the property being in
this county and some in New York, in
and around Utica.
After his death his will WAS opened
and it was found to be quite an elab
crate document. He had several sons
and daughters. Some Of them had mar-
ried, and the deceased had several
grandchildren.
By the terms OF the will it appears
that he attempted to devise his property
equitably among his children and grand
children, according to his judgment of
what they should have. He also at
tempted to make the will so clear that
there would be no contest after his
death. In this he failed.
A petition for probate OF the will was
filed some time ago by Joseph J. Rich
ards of Utica, New York, one of the
grsndsons of the deceased. In the petit
ton it was set forth that the property
left by the testator in this county con-
sisted of real estate valued at $4,000,
and personal property valued at s22, 600.
1t is against this petition that tho con-
test is filed by George Thomas, who was
left by the will the interest On $4,000
during his life. The other children
were all remembered mach more hand
somely.
AS if in anticipation of the very con-
tingency which has arisen, one clause OF
the will of the deceased contains the
provision that if any one of those named
in it as benefeiaries should attempt TO
contest it. he or she shall be cut off
| from any bequest named, and receive
$40 and no more of the estate.
The grounds upon which the son who
seeks to break the will bases his opposi-
ton are that his father was induced by
false representations and under infu-
ence to make it. He alleges that it was
not of his own free will that he made
the disposition of his property set forth
in the document.
The nature of the influence charged to
be undue is not given in the notice of
contest. Several of the children are
now residing in Los Angeles.

THE Board of Health yesterday to

THE Board of Health yesterday took
action on a number of proportions. 1t
annulled the existing rule by which the
carcasses of dead animals should 'be
buried, and provided that hereafter they
should be cremated. They then turned
into crusade against all persons prae-
tising the healing art who declined to
disclose the formula of their so-called
remedies. This action is believed to be
based on law Of the state, but it would
doubtleas have been resisted by DR..
Keely, of the famous gold cure, or DR..
Koch of Berlin. This peremptory style
of riding over people may be founded on
q statute, but it looks good deal like
Russian absolutism.

THE HELLO COMPANY.

They Want Their Assessment Materially
Reduced.
The board of supervisors, sitting as a
board of Equalization, proposes to have
a tussle with the Sunset Telephone and
Telegraph company.
1t seems that the company does not
like the way in which County Assessor
Gray has valued their property this
year. .4
They have filed petition for reduc-
ton Of their assessment With the board,
and yesterday they set July 14th at p.
m. for hearing in the matter.
The company in its petition sets forth
that the assessor has valued their lines
in this county at $135. .290, and they
claim that this valuation ie very much
in excess OF what it should be, placing
the modest value ON it OF $74, 600.
Tie lines in Los Angeles are assessed
at s37 $50. The company wishes that
reduced by $22, $50, leaving $l5, 900.
In Pasadena the assessment Is $362O; {;
the company wants $1,000 taken from
this, leaving the assessment $l56O.
In the Pomona the assessment was
$3.50, the reduction asked is $7SO, leav-
ing the assessment $3.50.
The Sunset company also desires a
reduction in the assessment placed on
the telephone instruments. Mr.. Gray
put the amount per telephone at 500,
and the company desires that this be re-
duced to s25.
From conversations with individual
members of the board they do not seem
inclined to turn very willing ear to
the request for a reduction. One OF the
members even went 90 far as to say that
he believed valuation of 500 per tele-
phone would be nearer the mark, and
that he would go vote if fhe got chance.
