SHORT STORIES OF THE DAY.
Backed by tho Railroad.

A. B. Hotchkise, one Of the Southern
Pacific company's outfit Of legal advs-
ors in this city. appeared in the police
court yesterday to look after the inter
ests OF Tom Smith, arrested for battery.
Smith is one OF the pet lambs in Bose
CherDey Webber's flock of political
lambkins. and on last Saturday as
esulted Attorney r. A. Ling, breaking
the latter's nose with blow from his
fist. 1t appears that Ling, who was O
member OF the city Republican conven-
ton, was intrepid enough to protest
against Webber being nominated as
council man from the Eighth ward. This
ie thought to have been the Cause OF the
assault.
Southern Pacific Attorney Hotchkie
announced himaelf when the case WAS
called, said ne had just been called into
the case, and would like day to file a
demurrer. Judge Austin eaved time by
suggesting that he file his demurrer.
This Attorney Hotchkiss did. In it he
attacked the jurisdiction OF the court.
claiming that the police court of Los
Angeles 10 a municipal institution and
empowered to try cases coming under
city ordinances. Battery he maintained
is a misdemeanor under the state law
and only Justices court or the superior
court has Jurisdiction. The railroad attor-
ney made quite q lengthy argument. but
Judge Austin intmated that the points
had besn 80 frequently raised and passed
upon by the supreme court that he
would overrule the demurrer.
Even then Coils P. Huntin2ton's rep
resentative was not satisfied and tried to
open up the argument again. Failing
in this, he went oil on another tack and
fought for time.
If your honor please" he said, "we
do not want this case tried until some
time Rext week. In fact. We can't be
ready sooner"
Deputy District Attorney Davis said
the state objecLed to any continuance
beyond the present week, and finally.
under protest OF Mr.. Hotchkiss, the case
was set for Friday, November I'd, at 10
am.
You'll want jury, presume p
said the court, addressing the railroad
attorney.
Yes. certainly, il we try the case in
this court" answered Mr.. Hotchkiss !;
"but we will want change OF venue.
The application for q change OF venue
will be made between now and Friday"

his daughter Carrie came quietly down
and whispered, There's a man on the

at first incredulous, but being assured, he
turned out his light, threw off his shoes,
caught up his large double gun and stole
out into the lot back of his cottage. The
man was Just discernible lying on the
roof close to the weather boarding, in the
valley. The dominie's gun was heavily
loaded, both hammers up and his fingers
on the trigger. He ordered the man for
his life not to jump or try to escape.
Young George, with his gun, ran to arouse

Suicide at N1edford.

William +. Haines, farmer living on
the road to Marion, committed suicide,
on Thursday afternoon, by shooting him
self through the heart. Worriment was
the cause of the deed.
In the family of Mr.. Haines lived girl
about Is years of age. Sometime ago it
was discovered that she was IN delicate
condition. To Mrs. Haines and a dress
maker she told story of how she got in
trouble, and as it was limited that Haines
was responsible for her condition she
went before magistrate and made aft
davit that such was not the case.
On Tuesday the girl was delivered of a
boy baby. Then she charged Haines
with being its father, and he acknowl-
edged the truth of the accusation. From
that time he spoke several times about
going away. and is said to have intimated
that he whould end his life.
Thursday afternoon, while his wife was
upstairs with the sick woman, Haines
went into the sick room and said some
thing. Whether he babe her good bye is
not clear, but he went down stairs and
said good bye to the woman who was
sewing. Then he went to the barn, where
he first attempted to hang himself. Not
succeeding in this he shot himself.
The gun with which he committed the
deed stood behind the kitchen door, but
it is not known whether he took it with
him to the barn or went back after it
when he failed in his attempt to hang
himself One thing is certain, he placed
the gun against his chest, leaned over
and touched the trigger and the deed was
done.
Haines was 80 years of age, and leaves
wife and one child. He was a son OF
Joseph c. HaiEes, of Lumberton.
