WENT AWAY WITH THE CIRCUS
Victoria Buelos Now Said to Be In Ell Paso,
Texas

Texas
1t now appears that Victoria Buelos,
who disappeared from her home about a
week ago, has gone further than had at
first been thought, and her parents may
not be able to regain possession OF her
at all. According to a friend who claims
to be we'll acquainted with the girl, she
has gone away with the circus, and If this
is true there is but slight chance of re-
covering her.
At first 1t was thought that she was
still in the city, but this seems to have
been erroneous. Yesterday morning a
man called at the residence of the girl $
father, on Brooklyn Heights, and asked
to sea MIR. Buelos, but rs he was not IN,
left the following note:
Dear sir:-You will find your daugh-
ter in Ell Paso, Texas, tomorrow, Sep
tenn Der 14th. She has gone away with
the circus and they will be in Ell Paso
Saturday night. Best you can do is TO
inform the chief of police in III Paso.
"a FRIEND"
Mr.. Buelns went to the police here and
asked if something could not be done
towards helping him recover the girl, but
he was referred to the sheriff.
OF course it may be that the letter was
sent TO throw him off the track, but 1t
seems hardly likely, as the man who lett
the note at his house first asked for him
and then talked with his son about the

THE POMONA SCHOOL BONDS
The Sup ervisors Have Power to Rails
Money TO Pay Them
A Complication Growing Out of the Mo5ifi-
cation of the Law After They
Were Issued

For some time past the board of trus-
tees of Pomona have been in a quandary
as to how they could pay the interest on
and redeem certain school bonds out
standing. The law under which the
bonds were issued has since been modi
fed, and in consequence the city trustees
were powerless to take any action.
Tha matter was referred to the board of
supervisors, with the request that they
make the necessary levy TO meet the in
terest and redemption of the bonds. The
supervisors in turn referred the matter to
the district attorney for an opinion,
which was yesterday given by Chief
Deputy Hatton. as follows:
"The act under which these bonds
were issued was approved March 81. 1884,
(see statutes of 1891, p. 264) which act
provides for the issuing of said bonds by
the board of city trustees. 1t also pro-
vides that the board of city trustees, at
the time of making the levy for city
purposes, must levy tax for that year
upon the taxable property in said dis
said bonds. This act was repealed by
an act approved March %, 1898, (see
statutes of 1893, p.292) which act provides
for the issuing of similar bonds by the
board OF Supervisors instead OF the board
OF city trustees; and also provides that
the board of supervisors, at the time of
making the levy of taxes for county pur-
poses, must levy the tax for that year
upon the taxable property in said district
for the interest and REDEEM pt:on of said
bonds.
"Inasmuch as the act under which
/ said bonds were Issued land providing
that the levy should be made by the said
| city board Of trustees to meet the interest
snd redemption thereof) was repealed by
| the act of 1898, the board of city trustees
no longer nave power to make such levy
and it is clearly the intention of the act
| of 1893 that the board OF supervisors shall
| be substituted for the board of city trus-
tees, and when satisfied that the bonds
were regularly issued by the board of city
| trusees, that it is the duty of the board OF
supervisors to provide a levy for the
payment Of the interest and redemption
i OF said bonds.
Il have procured from the city clerk OF
| Pomona q transcript of the record show
ing that said bunds were legally issued
and sold and are now outstanding and
unredeemed. This being the case. it
is the duty OF the board of supervisors
to proceed to make the levy upon the
taxable property Of said school district
| for the payment of the accrued interest
and redemption OF said bonds. as provid-
I ed by section OF the act approved March
| %, 1898.

TAINTED IN THE COURT ROOM
Mrs. PIatt Convicted and Gives

A LONG TIME UNCONSCIOUS

A LONG TIME UNCONSCIOUS

Argument in the Amelia Platt arson
case was concluded before Judge Smith
in department one OF the superior court
yesterday morning, Deputy District At
torney McComas following General Pierce
and closing for the people. Immediately
after the noon recess the case was given
to the jury, who retired TO their room to
deliberate at 1:20 p. m.
While waiting for the verdict quite an
exciting episode took place. MIR. Stewart,
the agent for the insurance company,
took exception to a remark made by
General Pierce, counsel for the defend
ant, Stewart claiming that the general
had called him sneak. General Pierce
denied that he had used the term In an
offensive sense, but his explanation not
being accepted in good part by Mr.. Stew
art, the venerable lawyer fiercely turned
upon him and announcing that he was
Just twenty-one years of age, so far as Mr..
Stewart was concerned, announced that
be was ready to meet the gentleman at
any place at any time and give him sa.-
isiaction. There was considerable loud
talking, but bath gentlemen finally quiet
ed down without anything serious hap
rening. Judge Smith happened to be out
OF the room at the time, or some one
might have been punished for contempt.
1t was the general belief that there
would be no conviction. and as the min
utes passed slowly this belief became al
most certainty, even the officers giving
up hope. When it was announced that
an agreement had been reached, and the
jury filed into the box, Mrs. Platt was no.
ticed to be very pale. and apparently la
boring under great suppressed excitement.
When the verdict of guilty was announced
she started slightly, but gave no other
sign. The jury was duly polled. and then
General Pierce asked Judge Smith if the
defendant could not remain out OF JAIL on
bail until the time of sentence, which
would be on Tuesday. Judgs Smith re-
Piled that he was very sorry. but there
was no law permitting such action, and
the regular procedure would be taken.
On this announcement the unfortunate
woman began crying, and shortly after
tainted away in a nerovus tit. After
some delay DR.. H. s. Orme was called,
ana after working with her for an bour
or more she rallied sufficiently TO be ta-
ken from the court room. A carriage was
secured and she was sent to the county
hospital in charge of Deputy Marsh.

THE FEDERAL COURTS
pixt. Acquitted Of the Charge of Attempted
BlackmaiI

When the case of Charles D. Platt,
charged with attempting to extort money
from Eugene Z. Crandall, by sending
threatening letters through the mails,
vas called in the United States district
court yesterday m orning there were but
few spectators present only one or two at
torneys and others attracted by curiosity
being in the court room.
Imnedia tely on Judge Wellborn taking
his seat ex-Judge W. A. Cheney, repre-
senting Platt. moved that the charge be
dismissed and the defendant discharged,
on two grounds: first that the indict-
ynent was fatally defective in that it did
not specifically state the offense with
which Platt was charged, and, second,
that the defendant having been once in
jeopardy and having been acquitted.
this was bar to further proceedings
against Platt for the same offense.
Judge Cheney made an eloquent argu-
nent in support of his motion and was
followed by United States Attorney
George J. Denis for the government Mr..
Denis thought that the Indictment was
good one. but the plea of once in
jeopardy he was not prepared at the mo-
n ent to argue.
As Judge Wellborn wished to examine
some authorities, a recess was declared un-
ill 2:30 o'clock. At that hour Judge Well
born announced his decision. declaring
the indictments fatally defective and in
structing the jury to return verdict OF
Acquittal, which was done and the pris-
oner discharged.
As this is the third time the case has
been.tried 1t is probable that nothing fur
ther will be done. 1t is also probable
.hat the case of Emil Harris will also take
cha M. coIIrsa q that Of PIatt fbpv

tickets seized by Marshal Covarrubias a,

improvements at the Nadeau

Another example OF progressiveness has
been exhibited by the extensive alterations
and Improvements made in the Hotel
Nadeau by its popular and we'll known
proprietor, Mr.. H. W. Chase. For several
months mechanics have been actively
engaged under able supervision, and from
a mass of chaos have evolved results which
cannot help being admired. After an
expenditure of $4,000 Mr.. Chase can
boast of having connected with his hotel
an elegant cafe, which, with its newly
decorated walls, richly carpeted floors
and new and extravagant table service,
under able management, will rank on a
par with any place of its kind on this
coast.
To the right of the reading room, with
an entrance on First street. is the barber
shop of Mr.. San born, all newly equipped.
The reading room, while all. is cozy
and located back of the main lobby is
a nice, quiet apartment, removed from
the dan and noise of the busy street.
The bar or saloon, to which much atten-
tlon has been paid and upon the execu-
tion of which the major portion of the
general expenditure has been made,
deserves a great deal more comment than
limited space will admit. The whole is
a most exquisite and beautiful piece of
architecture. a creation of Mr.. Edward
Neisser, architect, who is recently from
J. Byrne block. To attemp Mt to fully de-
scribe this room is but to make failure,
and to fully appreciate its grandeur. we
suggest that it be seen.
1t must not be omitted that much care
was taken in giving the work to the
best local firms-and the finishing was o
question for much consideration. To Mr..
H. L. Mcclure was finally awarded this
important part of the work. Mr.. Nc
Cures ability is too well known to re-
quire further comment.
In every channel of trade we find those
who detect 'good thing and grasp
a money making opportunity. We refer
to Mr.. Bob Kern, the popular and well
, known proprietor of the Richelieu. Mr..
Kern is the lessee OF this new place of re-
freshment, and under his able and care
full management the patrons of the Hotel
Napeau bar will receive good teatment
and their moneys worth.
This morning at IL O'Clock the doors
will be opened to the public, and Mr..
Kern invites his many friends to call
and partake of nice spread, which be
promises will be such as to ps long re-
mem bered.
