AN INCORRIGIBLE GIRL
' She Ran Away and Now Whittier Yawns
for Her

She Ran Away and Now Whittier Yawns
~ for Her
Miss Katie Smith,, pretty but naughty
young girl, is now in the county Jail
awaiting to be taken to Whittier. She
was taken from Christy's house on South
Los Angeles street yesterday by deputy
Sheriff White and ex.Humane Off Ger
Wright.
The girl says that she was not taken to
the place by anyone else, but went there
of her own free will. She had been work.
ing in number of residences about the
city and at one time lived with her sis
ter-in-law, but finally decided to strike
out for herself.
One day ABOUT three months ago girl
friend named Rose took her down to see
&rs. Christy, and several days after she
returned and has been living there until
arrested.
She seemed to be acquainted with
the nature of the place and said it was
not a sporting house. but an assignaticn
house. The girl gives as her reason for
going to the place that she knew Mrs.
Christy we'll and was assured of good
home.
She has three other sisteru. and yester-
day two of them went to the Christy
house to try and get her leave with them.
She was away at the time, though, but
in the afternoon they returned with the
officer and took her to jail Katie is very
positive in the assertion as to her age,
which she says is past II, while her sis
ters are equally sure she is only ID.
Katie asserts she was put in the sisters
school and stayed there until she was IA
and then put ont at work. and she has
been working Tor three years. she adds.
Both sisters wept bitterl y in the court
room. but when Judge York ordered
Kate's commitment TO the state school
at Whittier she dried her eyes and over
the young face yet unstained BY dissipa-
tion's lines swept a rebellious LOOK as she
muttered under her breath: II may BIZ
tough now, but I'll be d. sight toughe
when l come out"
1t is to be feared that there is more
truth than poetry in the remark.

Captain Morris Is Robbed of q Large

1t Occurred Recently In the Pasadena Eiec-
trio Garlic Was In Large Crowd
at the Time

The gang Of thieves and crooks opsrat-
ing in this city for some time past seem
to be very versatile lot and able to turn
their hands to almost any kind of rob-
bling.
Several weeks ago they operated the
electric cars and quite numb Der OF peo-
pie were relieved OF their money and jew
elry. Among those who were robbed was
Captain Morris. He was on the Pasadena
electric car going to his b ONE in High
land park. The car was crowd ed. it being
necessary for the passengers tc stand. By
him were a number of men and one wbis-
pered to the other and loud enough for
Captain Morris to hear: ''What an ele-
CANT diamond PIN that gentleman has in
his cravat.' Involuntarily Captain Nor
ris put his hand to the article mentioned
and frightened the ecktie and as he took
his hand from his trousers pocket some
one in the crowd cut the pants and ex-
tracted large sum of money from the
pocket of Captain Morris. The gentle
man did not discover the loss until after
he got off the car. The following day
the robbery was reported to the po-
lice and several of the detectives were de-
tailed to investigate but up till now no
trace has been found. About the same
time that this occurred q lady had her
purse cut open and sum of money abb

A Desperate Captured

Deputy Sheriff Martin Aguirre re-
turned yesterday from his trip to Lower
California, where he had gone in search
OF Adrienne Pavildes, the young daug b ter
of the Greek consul. and Miss lie Page,
the French maid. both of whom mys-
teriously disappeared two weeks ago.
His mission was failure, so far as
any discoveries regarding the truants
was concerned. but by streak of good
fortune he succeeded in pensating
for mis- failure in the one direction by
bringing back Francisco Alvarez, alias l..
Chaco, notorious cattle thief who has
been badly wanted Dy the officers at sew
eral points in the southern part of the
state.
On August 1. 1894. Francisco and his
brother. Predo Alvarez, stole twenty head
OF cattle from the Irwin ranch in Orange
COUNTY, and, after driving them into
Lower California, sold them to Peter
Casson. butcher.
Detective John Insley went in chase
OF the cattle thieves and had desperate
tight with Pedro Alvarez about forty feet
this side OF the line ON August 81, 1894,
but captured his man. Pedro was tried
in Orange county, convicted and is now
serving long term in Folsom. A close
search was made for the brother, but
without any success. Martin Aguirre,
while making inquiries regarding the
missing girls, incidentally learned that
Francisco Alvarez was in Ensenada, and
he at once determined upon his capture.
About the same time Alvarez became ac-
quainted with the fact that Aguirfe was
eround, and inquired of friend of this
deputy sheriff what his mission was,

Love That Wouldn't Run Smooth

story OF a wooing that did not end
satisfactorily is to be told in Justice
Youngs court. and all the sweet nothings
whispered by an elderly Lothario into the
ear of pretty little blonde of 10 sum-
of justice.
A suit has been brought bv G. J. Boyd,
who does business as grocer at 52l San
Pedro street, for the purpose, ii possible
of enforcing the return of certain gifts.
The defendant is about 10 years old,
bewitchIng blonde, and Miss Mabel
Jones, who resides with he- parents on
Chestnut street ih East Los Angeles, is
far above the average of her sex, SO far,
at least, as good looks are concerned.
Mr.. Boyd became acquainted with the
young lady through supplying the family
with gouds. Charmed by her vivacious
appearance, he sought a closer intimacy
and called upon Miss Mabel at the homo
of her parents. These visits increased in
frequency, and sometimes Mr.. Boyd
Gradually his relation to the young lady
developed into that of friend and ad-
mirer and he gave assurance of his re-
gard by making her presents. Among
others we're plain band gold ring with
one ruby and SIX pearls. and gold watch
These visits eliminate in proposal

enjoyed his society and presumably had
no particular objection to his taste in the
selection of presents. but when it came
to question of matrimony she was no
longer acqulescent Repeated protesta-
tons on the wldower's part failed to
move the heart OF his ipamorata. and the
relationship became rather strained. Mr..
Boyd vent.red to suggest that if she did
not intend to take MIN in marriage it
would be better if she made return of the
jew elry. Miss Mabel thereupon threw the
several articles in question at the head of
her worldly minded admirer. The spirit
displayed by Miss Mable was an added
charm and only caused the passion OF
MIR. Boyd to become more ardent. He
became more devoted than ever, again
presented the jewelry to her and again
tried his luck by proposing marriage.
Again was he refused. and then he grew
wrathful and threatened to give the
young lady very disagreeable time if
she did not give him back his presents
and cry quits.
Miss Mabel became frightened and
sought advice. Acting in accordance
with the instructions of her attorney, she
refused to give up the presents, and now
Mr.. Boyd has filed his complaint. which
will result in the details of this little ro-
nance of everyday life being ventilated
in open court.

Love Would Not Run Smooth-Ai
Cobler's Commitment Held

Interest in the administration of the
estate of Mrs. Maria Begon. who died in
this city Nov. 9, 1894, some of the facts
in connection with which were of a some
what sensational character, will be re-
vived by contest that has been just be-
gun.
1t will be remem bered that in addition
t certain real estate there was sum of
money in gold coin, supposed to aggre-
gate about $4,000. which was said to
have mysteriously disappeared.
A will containing interiineations ana
interpretations in pencil was admitted to
probate, under which JEANNE l.. Geantit
was appointed executrix by Judge Clark.
The real property of the estate and what
ever personal effects were found have
been under the charge of the executrix
until quite recently.
Now E. A. Meservr, on behalf of Alex
andrina Jay, daug ter of the deceased,
has filed contest, neging that later
will than the one p >bated existed and
which revoked it; al 0 that the latter
will was also revoked and in rather
curious manner.
1t is claimed that the later will was

Furthermore, it is alleged that Mrs.
Begon, after it's execution. being dis
satisfied with it, called Griffin Johnston
to her home for the purpose Of consulting
with him about it. 1t is claimed that
having decided to revoke her second will
she did SO by desiring Mr.. Johnston to
tear off her signature from the document,
which was done and the will made of
non-effect.

BLAZING FORESTS.
Destructive Fires Raging Around Brad

was soon destroyed, together with TO-
900, 900 feet of lumber, an engine house,

Der and coal, eight dwellings, an oil
well and several thousand acres of
timber land. A special train consist
ing of a steamer and a large
force of firemen was sent from
here to the scene of the conhagration.
The f1remen were unable to do any
thing, but they diverted the course of
the flames. Everything in the woods is
very dry and the leaves and underbrush
furnish abundant fuel for the blaze.
The flames are going up the hillside at
a rapid rate and destroying everything
in their path. The sky is black with a
sitting smoke and the flames shoot up
as high as the top of the trees.
man had his shoulder broken and
another was injured internally while
jumping from one of the buildings.
In another house lay a sick woman.
She was rescued from the flames with
much difficulty and it is feared she
will die from fright and exhaustion.
Yesterday afternoon second appeal
was received from Glen Hazel asking
for more help, and thirty-fve fremen
with hose were sent by special train.
It was feared the fire was about to
cross the east branch of the Clarion
river and sweep out the town of
Glen Hazel.
The woods along the Erie railroad
between Kentner and Bradford are on
fire and it is feared the loss to oil and
lumber property will be great. Fol
lowing are the losses: Elias Deemer,
of Williamsport, 1000, 900 feet of hem
lock lumber valued at SS5, 600, partially
insured; Delos' saw mill, $50. 600, no in
surance; Kentner & Shawmut railroad,

The Proclamation May Be Issued Within

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Within thirty

reservation to settlement, and the
thousands of settlers who have pa
tiently withstood privations to retain
place upon the border of that richest
section of all Oklahoma may make
their preparations for a race which
congress delivers over to the swift and
the strong.
It is entirely probable, although the
probability yet lacks the sanction of
official action, that Oklahoma will in
advance be permitted to make its
school indemnity selections of $4,000
acres within the limit of the reserva-
ton. It is believed, however, by those
most cOnversant that a fortnight should
be sufficient for that purpose, and in
that event the presidents proclamation
will be issued within three weeks and
800 square miles of the most fertile
land in the southwest will then be
