TRIED TWICE TO DIE.
Mrs. Minnie Baker Gives Up in
 Dependency.
The First Attempt by Strangulation Was Followed by a Nearly Sue
 CeSSful Hanging.

Mrs. Minnie Baker tried twice unsuc- cessfully to commit suicide at the Lemon hotel on Friday night. The first attempt was by strangulation. This was volun tarily abandoned be- cause it hurt. Anxious as she was to die, she was unwilling to endure the pain which attended this method. Later in the night, or, rather, early in the morning she renewed her coquetry with death by means of rope. The second attempt was more nearly suc- cessful, and was frustrated only by the timely appearance of an attendant. The motive was despondency. The woman has been ill for several days and is comparatively alone in the city.
 She came here from British America several weeks ago accompanied by her husband. They took lodgings at the Doris and Mrs. Baker found employ ment at Washington street restaurant. She and her husband did not get on happily.
 He went away recently to Prescott, she said, about the time she was taken sick, and she did not expect him to re- turn. She was compelled by her illness to give up her place, and few days ago took lodging at the hotel where she tried to die.

THE TRIAL OF SMITH.
ATTORNEY LING THE COMPLAIN
ING WITNESS.
He swears That the Blow Must Have
Been Delivered From B Behind.
Asked to XIII Smith
by Friends

Attorney r. A. Ling. in the capacity
of witness. WAS the feature of Judge
Austin's police court yesterday. On
the evening OF the holding of the late
Republican ciGy convention Mr.. Ling
was assaulted on tho sidewalk in front
of the Reception saloon on Spring
street, and his nose was knocked quito
out OF plumb by the single blow which
his assailsnt delivered.
Tom Smith, the private secretary OF a
politician named Webber. was arrested
for the crime and yesterday his trial be-
of 12 was secured. Each candidate for
the honor of sitting on the jury was
closely interrogated by Attorney J..
Marion Brooks, who assists A. B..
Hotchkiss as counsel for Smith. Dep
uty District Attorney Rush, who prose-
cutes, also asked some few questions OF
each one.
The political faith of the jurors can.
not count for much, though Mr.. Brooks
was careful TO ask each one If he had
any objection to men who have deserted
one party for another; also. what they
know about the two wings OF the great
political party which the two interested
parties represent in this city.
He also wanted to know if the Jurors
would make any distinction between a
politician who used his mouth or one
who used his fists.
Mr.. Ling WINS put upon the stand by
the prosecution and afterwards cross
examined by the defense.
He says the blow was struck from the
side, and that his head was turned in
such direction that be could not see
his sesailant when it was delivered.
He was not armed at the time, and
carried in his hand pound of Swiss
cheese.
Since tine occurrence he had said
that he would go armed. and that no
one would be permitted to break his nose
again without suffering for it on the
spot. but he had refused hundred of
his friends who wanted him to kill
Smith. and offered to protect him and
stand all costs. He is content to let the
law take it's course.
Mr.. Hotchkiss put long list OF ques
tions tending to show that Mr.. Ling
knew that Jim Smith was Webber's prl-
vate secretary, and that Smith was
working during the campaign in the
interest Of Mr.. Webber, but the ques-
tions we're objected to and the objec.
tions sustained.
The case will be resumed today at
$50 O'Clock.

and use only 30 much OF said waters as
do not constitute a part OF the sources,

This stipulation has been agreed to
by Mr.. Spilman, and | am OF the opin. :.
ion that it wholly protects the city at all
points. In case we should proceed to
try the action l do not know that the
city could obtain any thing in the way OF
q judgment which it does not obtain by
this stipulation and in view of the uu'
certainty OF the result OF trial, the
evidence in which would be largaly a
matter of conjecture, as the waters in
question have never been developed. L
believe it for the best interest OF the
city to enter into this stipulation. and l
advise that the same be DONE"
After some discussion the city attor-
pey was instructed to sign the stipula-
tion and enter into the agreement with
Mr.. Spilmsn.
NO MORE ToBoGGANs.
The toboggan-slide ordinance was
brought up and passed by the following
vote: Messrs. Munson, Nickel. Pes.
sell, Rhodes and Teed voting yes and
Messrs. Innes, Campbell, Smith and
Stronm voting no. This new ordinance
prevents the operation OF toboggan slides
in the city limits without a permit from
the council. The ordinance will 20 into
effect at once.
MR.. DoNEGAN IRRITATED.
In the Fourth-street improvement
matter. the protest was denied. and the
street, as improved by Contractor Done
gan, was accepted. There was some
trouble over the acceptance OF the street
on account Of the city engineers report,
which was to the effect that many stones
were left on the street, and in the heated
discussion which followed, Mr.. Donegan
took occasion to score the street super
intendent and VIM. Wilmer. one of the
prOte6t6nt6. Inc lattor gentleman, MI
Donegan said, owed him over $4,000 and
was trying to knock him out Of his pay.
Mr.. Donegan said it was disgrace for q
city the sizs OF Los Angeles to work with
such specifications as those under which
he did the work.
Finally it WAS voted to amend the
grading specifications by adding that no
stones larger than one inch cube be left
on the street.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
The City Water company was directed
to place fire plug at the intersection of
Palm drive and Twentv-third street.
A new ordinance was adopted order
ing the widening OF a certain portion OF
Buena Vista street, and appointing
Thomas Parsons as one of the commits
sioners therefor, vice Alfred Solano.
The city engineer presented a map of
Adobe street betwee College and Ber.
nard streets, showing the lines for an 80.
foot street. The map was referred to
the board Of public works.

Excited.

The revision Of the city charter was
The principal topic Of business at the
adjourned session oil the city council
yesterday, and the most important thing
done was the establishing OF the salaries
Of the city officers.
An ordinance was passed prohibiting
the operation OF toboggan slides or roller
coasters in the city without especial
permit.
All members were present when the
session was called to order at 10 o'clock.
Among those present were F. D. Slim
son, General Mathews, G. J. Griffith
and Charles Forman. who as committee
Of the Merchants association. were espe'
cially interested in the charter revision
matter. Ex-Mayor Workman. John F.
Humphreys, Kaspare Cohn and others
were also interested spectators.
The charter revision committee.
through Mr.. Rhodes. reported that the
committee had decided and agreed upon
the recommendations and asked their
adoption. Mr.. Nickel, a member of
the committee, did not concur in their
request.
The council took q recess at 10 80
o'clock to allow the special committee
on charter revision to report In writing.
The committee reported at IL o'clock
and the amendments were submitted to
the council. The amendments were
read by Clerk Luckenbach. Little or
no discussion was INDUCED in until
President Teed opposed that part
Of the section regarding the
open session OF the council. as
it prohibited executive Sessions.
Hs thought that on some oc-
casions such sessions are absolutely
necessary, and that the public should
be excluded. He said that under the
preeent charter all business wac made
public by reporters who have made it
the cnstom 70 be present at all sessions.
City Attorney Mcfarland also took this
view OF the matter, cay ing he had been
handicapped by persistent reporters
trying his cases through the newspa-
pess before they had reached the courts.
Oiten," be continued. "there are mat
ters that must OF necessity be kept
quiet for time"
President Teed again emphasized his
disapproval OF all sessions being made
public, which was concurred in by John
F. Humphreys.
The amendment was read and adopt.
ed, az follows: THAT all boards, com.
mittees and sessions OF the council may
20 into executive session for the pur-
pose OF discussing questions to come be.
lore them in open session."
The amendment was then put and
adopted as amended.

Wants n Golden HaIye,


Mrs. Lilly E. Bitch has a grievances.
With her husband she instituted suit
against the Los Angeles Terminal Rail-
way company. claiming $25. 900 dam
ages.
Yesterday the suit came up for trial
before Judge Mckinley and jury. The
facts set forth by the fair plaintiff are to
the effect that on May 2Sth she obtained
ticket from the defendant company
for which she paid the necessary quid
pro quo in the shape OF 80 cents cur-
rent coin.
At Long Beach are two stations, one
being known as Alamitos. and it is
this latter place that is the abiding
place of Mrs. Bitch, and from there she
travelled by the Terminal road to
East San Pedro. On June let she re-.
turned, but upon trying to slight ct
Alamitos the train was started in
negligent manner. as is claimed, and
the plaintiff was seriously injured.
These injuries are alleged to be of an in.
ternal character, and medical testimony
was submitted to prove certain points OF
some delicacy involved in the case.
The hearing will be resumed this
