In an Accident-News Notes

PASADENA. Aug.:22.-Still another Is
added to the list of neighbors quarrels,
Of which the public Is getting surfeit of
late, since they all seem to regard it as q
necessary part of the performance that
they should air their disagreements in
tho courts. This time it is woman of
the Russian nationality, named Louise
Baruch, who swears out complaint
against German by the name of George
Eisler, on the charge of disturbing ths
peace. 1t seems that the woman, who
live, in tent on Pasadena avenue with
her husband. having no water on the
premises. has been in the habit OF getting
her water from the defendant, with his
permission. but yesterday when she came
for supply lie refused 10 let her have
any more. But, according to her account,
he was not satisfied with telling her that
alone. but proceeded to apply all the un-
complimentary epithets to her that his
vocabulary would allow, in loud and
rough manner sufficient to attract the at
tention of the whole neighborhood. The
case comes up tomorrow at 10 o'clock.
The care of the tailors. McCartin and
Toltschin, was dismissed owing to the
non-ap appearance of the complaining wit
ne IS. McCartin.
William Hendell. the defendant in the
threat.to- kill case. who was last seen
Ostensibly hunting an attorney to defend
him, while the court waited. and the
constable also waited (though not so
near as to embarrass William) has pre-
sumably not yet found a legal adviser
that was quite to his taste. At least he
has not yet returned to apprise the court
of the fact. though of course n Q will come
back soon, with good and sufficient reas
uns for his delay. unless some unforsse n
accident should occur to prevent, as was
bigamist. Accidents will happen some-
times.
MISS MUCK'S BAD LUCK.
Miss Muck, who lives on the corner of
San Pasqual street and Wilson avenue,
has been peculiarly unfortunate of late in
beings elected as the victim of thioves.
Not long ago her house was entered dur
ing her absence and several articles Of
value were stolen. and yesterday she was
robbed of q gold watch and $1J in money.
Wnen she started for Los Angeles yester-
day she took the precaution to see that
no money or other small articles OF value
were left in the house, and secreted her
watch and her money about her person.
thinking she was now suro of keeping
them in her possession. But after max
ing some purchases at a store, when she
came to pay-for them she was surprised
and alarmed to hnd that both her watch
and her money had mysteriously disap-
peared. Her pocket had been cut open
and the contents absGraCted so deftly that
she was not aware of it.
AN INFANT INJURED.
An infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Zee. who live on Galena avenue. was
quite badly scalded last evening. He in
some manner upset can OF hot water
that was standing on the stove, and be-
ing on the floor directly under it he re-
ceived the contents upon his head and
chest and was severely burned. DR.. Dea-
con was at once called and did all that was
possible to make the little fellow easy. 1t
is hoped that the burns will not prove
very serious and that by careful treat
ment he will get over them in short
time.
MOUNTAIN RAILWAY WORKMAN
HURT.
An accident occurred on the Echo
Mountain electric road yesterday after
noon, in which three men were thrown
down a steep EN- bankmsnt, but only one
was. seriously injured. The three work
men were engaged in repairing trolley
line, and were working upon scaff old
on top of a car which was being drawn
along by a mule.
The mule has always been tractable
and obedient, mt yesterday when called
upon to whoa when crossing a trestle over
a narrow gorge, he kept right on and the
workmen were dragged by the trolley
wires from their insecure position. fall
ing down the mountain side distance
OF about fifty feet. Two of them caught
in branches of trees, which broke their
fall, and they were not injured. But the
third man, T. B. Smith, was not so for
tunate, and was quite badly bruised. DR..
Rowland. the eompanys surgeon. was
called, and administered to his comfort
and relief, and if no internal injuries
develop. will soon be all right again.
There have been very few accidents on
this road. considering .he dangerous
ground over which it runs.
BREVITIES.
The property of the one delinquent tax
payer on the Oakland avenue extension
will be sold at the city ball tomorrow at
2 O'clock p. IN. A. Gibbs is given thirty
days to remove his provements, con-
sisting OF house, etc.. which is in the
direct line of the street, and as soon as
this is done. the street will be open to
the public.
Even at this time, when everybody that
can get away is supposed to be seeking
the beaches. there is a good demand for
houses in Pasadena. What will it be in
the winter season?
Real estate agents report lively de-
mand for furnished six and seven room
houses.
Among the entries thus far received for
the Columbia hall tennis tournament
which opens tomorrow are the following:
Lewis Freeman. Oliver Picher. Rob
Rowan. Don McGlvrav. David Acker,
John Daggett. John Kelso. Will Allen,
Paul Rowan, Bruce Rowan and Fred
Roche.
Regarding that short piece of street
connecting Colum ola with Fair Oaks the
electric company does not concede that it
is a separate street, but that it is part
OF Columbia, and that therefore their
track is on ground covered by their fran
chise. This contention is not allowed by
fhe city, and the matter will doubtless
have TO be settled in the courts.
george F. Roesch of Stockton, grand
patriarch of California, paid Pasadena
encampment an official visit last evening,
accompanied by General William s.
Frost, past grand representative of the
sovereign grand lodge, whose home is in
Los Angeles.
Charles Lidden, the victim of Guests
IRON bar. continues to improve under DR..
Hodges care, and he will doubtless re-
cover.
At regular meeting of Pasadena en-.
Campment last evening J. b. Mcneil was
elected representative to the grand en-
campment, which meets in Stockton Oc-
tober 18th.
