HUMANE SOCIETY SUED
Its Former Officer Institutes Action Again.
the Organization


the Organization
Day S. Hutchins, who so ably filled the
office of humane officer from last April to
October, has begun suit against the society
for back pay. The first step in the matter
was taken yesterday, when writ of at
tachment was issued against the deposit of
the society, amounting to about 5000. in
the Los Angeles National bank. The
papers were given to an officer and served
during the afternoon. Mr.. Hutchins has
brought suit through his attorney, Curtis
d. Wilbur, for the sum of S453.67.
The beginning of this case dates back to
April, when Mr.. Hutchins took the posi-
ton of special officer to the society. He
worked for six months altogether. In
June he rendered his resignation, which
was not acted upon, and then in August
again rendered his resignation. He was
prevailed on to keep the position until the
end of september, which he did. For all
of this work, and it was the most efficient
that the society has ever known. he re-
ceived the muni1cent sum of $l16 33.
From the members of the society Mr..
Hutchins has the assurance that his SER
vices were worth at least 500 month.
When he tried to settle with them they
said that they had understood that he was
to receive what the society could raise,
During Mr.. Hutchins' incumbency no less
than 5000 was raised and put into the
treasury. In spite of this fact he has got
only little over 500. He has, therefore,
brought the above action to recover at the
rate of 81 90 q month,

come from, but can now devote every hour

of $50 days in Jail yesterday from Justice
Owens, $50 having been on one offense
and the balance on another conviction of
petty larceny. Feely is the fellow who

and stolen the purses of women worship.
ers. Detective Hawley saw him operating
and took him in charge. Thursday Feely
pleaded guilty to two charges before JUS

afterwards being identified as one that had
been taken from Mrs. Louisa Guasti some
time ago.

Glass from Captain Lees. chief of the de-

Thursday night, presumably by A. Olivas.
Mr.. Fiaeld is engaged in laying line of
pipe and employed Olivas and his wife on
the ranch.
Thursday night Olivas went to Mr.. FL
field and asked to have the horse and
wagon to go to the city to get some medi-
cine, as Mrs. Olivas was sick. He was
given permission and drove away. During
his absence Mr.. Fifield came to Los An
geles. Olivas got back to the ranch, and
after talk with his wife, hitched up the
horse and they both got into the wagon
and drove to the city. Nothing has been
heard of them since, and the man either
intended to sell the rig or else is lying
around drunk. The police are looking for
him

Will she escape without an adequate
legal attempt being made to punish her?
The best criminal lawyer in Southern Cali
fornia states that the contents of Ada
Faulkner's dying declaration can be placed
before jury If the proper endeavor is
made. The same legal authority adds that
the dying declaration of the girl would, in
his judgment. be sufficient to convict the
Smith woman if it was presented to an un-
prejudiced jury.
What the people of Los Angeles would
like to know is whether the prosecution
of Catherine G. Smith for producing an
abortion upon the person of Ada Faulkner
is going to fall to the ground or not, In the
light of facts known to exist?
In connection with this matter it is
proper to state that a young man, an en-
city official of this city, has been the object
of indirect charges as being an accessory
to the sad affair.
Some little time before her death, these
statements came to the knowledge of Miss
Faulkner. and she made an affidavit which
exonerates him from any blame in the
matter.

Distress Among the Poor

Secretary Stewart of the Associated
Charities says there is much suffering and
distress among the poor people of the city,
and that the situation is at least 25 per
cent worse this year than it was at the
same period last year. Mr.. Stewart says
that matters are made much worse by the
heavy arrival of indigents, people who
come to the city from the east and from
other parts of the state without a cent, and
who have TO at once apply to the Associated
Charities for relief. Mr.. Stewart says that
all the charitable organizations are over
run with applications for relief, and that it
is almost impossible to keep up with all
the cases presented.

The charming operetta, 1.-THE Land of
Nod" directed by Mrs. John Gray, was
given last evening at Music hall, under the
auspices of the Christmas Market. Owing
to the inclemencv of the weather, the audi

ters were assumed as follows:

The stage presented q beautiful mid
night forest scene. The king of the Land
of Nod, in royal robes of crimson, followed
by page in black and gold, was further
attended by the Sandman in dusky gray,
and the Jack o. Dreams in true harlequin
costume of gorgeous stripes, with wand
and bells. At the mandate of the king six
charming children in long white robes, and
fast asleep, were whailed before the throne
and placed on downy couches with soft
pillows and gay coverlets. A host of dream
spirits, led by Miss Alice Gray and Miss
Ainsley Rogers, lovely vision of young
girls robed in white, with white wings, fit
ted upon the scene and circling in and out
among the couches, weaving garlands of
flowers about the little heads, brought
them rosy dreams. AS they faded away,
visions of small brownies, led by Master
Harry Dodd, lowered about the sleepers.
Fairies, Mother Goose, and COLLINS fol-
lowed, and these in their various charac-
ters presented lesson to each sleeping
child. The prince of dreamers, in court
costume of old rose plush with flowing
black plumes, sung to the first little
maiden, many pretty thoughts
Lady Fortune, beautiful in flowing robes
of scarlet, turning golden wheel, took up
her small charge. Mother Goose made up

bringing visions of dollies all satin and

these spirits vanished sweet dreams again
descended on tile sleepers. But dawn

Of the King of Nod and his court awoke.
They sat up and exclaimed: "Oh, oh. what
beautiful dream. What a. why! See
all the people! Why, where are we?" And
they scampered away, as the funny brown.
les returned in gay dance.
A pretty interruption in the dream story
was made by Miss Nellie Lockwood, who
gave skirt dance with fine effect, taking
most difficult poses with perfect grace.
A matinee OF this really beautiful oper-
eta will be given today, concluding the
Christmas market.

A Robe But No Horse

W. II. Eldred, or Hunter, whichever his
name may be, is in direct line for the peni-
Tertiary and the chances are many that he
will BIZ sent there. Eldred happened to be
wandering around the streets early yester-
day morning and while passing along
Eleventh street, off of Main, saw barn,
which looked inviting and he entered.
Eldred did not leave all hope behind for he
thought there was slight probability that
some article might be lying around loose
and it might serve to buy few presents
for the little ones. The barn happened to
be that of Senator Stephen M. White, but
Eldred did not know this. 1t might not
have caused him to have acted any other
way than he did if he had. At all events,
however, Eldred espied an Angora skin lap
robe and Immediately tucked it under his
arm and departed.
Officer Blackburn arrested him on
Buena Vista street a few hours after the &C.
currence. Eldred acknowledged the theft
but excused his action from the fact that
Christmas was nigh. He was arraigned
before Justice Owens and will be tried for
petty larceny today.
Eldred has already served time on con-
v'ction of petty larceny. His last offense
was committed in July two years ago, when
Detective Goodman arrested him. He said
his name was w. H. Hunter and pleaded
guilty and was sentenced. He had a prior
conviction of petty larceny hanging over
him, but for some reason the district at
torney's Office failed to prosecute him for
this prior case and allowed him to escape
the penitentary. He will hardly be SO for
tunate this time as his previous record is to
be brought against him.

Her Own Santa ciau

Another shop litter was caught by the
detectives yesterday. She will plead Mon
day to petty larceny. The namo of the
woman 10 Mrs. Mary Carson, and she is
quite q good looking female. She went
into the dry goods store in the Westminster
hotel building and purloined number OF
articles. In her hand bag she put silk
waist, while her cape concealed a wrap and
some other things.
When arrested by Detectives Auble and
Hawley she professed entire ignorance as
to where or how the goods had been
secured. In fact to have heard her talk
one would have thought Santa Claus had
begun to get in his work little ahead of
time. However, the articles were Identified
by the proprietor Of the store. Mary has
relatives in Riverside and says she mas
been in this city for her health, but her
operations in the stores would not seem to
indicate it.

Circus Day in Belfast.

SELLS BROTHERS BIG SHOW PROVED TO BE
FULLY UP TO REPUTATION.
Sells Brothers Circus exhibited here Thurs
day, July 18th, afternoon and evening, and
met expectations in all particulars. The
ring performances were good, the menagerie
the finest ever exhibited here, and the con-
duct Of the circus people from the managers
down to the humblest employee was such as
to command respect and confidence. But
one extra man was employed ON the local
ponce force, no arrests We're made, and no
trouble OF any kind was experienced The
circus travels by special trains of its own
cars, built expressly for its business They
had here 36 cars ranging from 56 to 60 feet in
length, while an ordinary box OF platform
ear is from - to * feet. The cars are equip
ped with the Westinghouse air brake Thew
came to Belfast in two trains one drawn w
two engines and the other hy one, with the
engine of the freight train Oh the branch to
help over the summit. The street parade
was one Of the best ever seen here with five
elephants, several camcls, elromedares In
dian oxen, ETC., and open cages Of lions
tigers, ieopalds, hippopotami, seals, o.
tllciles, etc. inele three bands and
steam calliope. IN tile big tent there vere

Brought from California and an employee of
the circus says they are more easily trained
than dogs. In the band performance the
lion did blow tba
the only fake part Of the performance. The

PoIITIe Al POINTS, The replies from

st. Louis as the place for holding the next
national convention of that party. Three
objected 70 this city and four We're non

respondence with the other members of

objection to st. Louis is the intense heat
