Spelling again the story

Dreaming OF the wonder

And !. too, pass
Out of the world o. sunshine,
Like autumn grass.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED
The Supreme Court Ruling on Los Angeles
County Probate Case.

The Supreme Court in bank has reversed
the judgment OF the Superior Court of this
county in the suit of D. W. Field, admin
istrator of the estate of Jose M. Andrada
deceased against Manuel and Narcissa An
drada, defendants and appellants, on the
ground that the demurrer to the complaint
should have been sustained.
1t was an action brought by the admin
istrator OF the estate to set aside con-
veyance made by Jose NJ. Andrada during
his lifetime. The complaint contained
allegations which gave it the appearance
of suit to enforce trust in lands and
compel reconveyance of the legal title,
while the other features in it tended to
give it the character of an action to set
aside conveyance made by the intestate
in fraud of his creditors. Treating it in
the former character the administrator
had no capacity to sue and on that ground
alone the demurrer should have been sus'
tanned. Ii brought to set aside fraudu-
lent conveyance the complaint was defect
i've for want of facts, and the demurrer
here should also have held good. The
Superior Court is directed to sustain it.

WATSON'S GRITTY FIGHT
The Hermit of Laurel Canyon Jabs a
Man in the Neck.
Arrested Four Times for insanity. He Away
Convinces the Court That He Is
Not Crazy

E. C. Watson, 1.-The Hermit of Laurel
Canyon, - with his eyes blackened, his
face scratched and his bruised forehead
hidden under bandage, was up before
Judge Clark yesterday afternoon to defend
himself against the charge of insanity
preferred against him by Thomas Leath-
erdale.
The complainant did not show up and
Mr.. Watson convinced the Court that
there was not an insane idea about him
in very short time, although the same
could not be said of his conceit, because
he proclaimed that he could hear better
than anybody, could see forty rods farther
than the next man, and then, with a
ludicrous air of faulty. this grzzled
man OF seventy added that he was about
as strong as the strongest.
Leatherdale is a partner of Watsons
with another man in a mining venture in
Laurel Canyon. The hermit lives by him
self in his house, and the two other men
bach in tent. They have had more or
less trouble during the partnership and
this is the second time that Leatherdale
has had Watson arrested for insanity, but
the old gentleman makes light of such
proceedings, as he has been brought be-
fore the Superior Court on the same
charge altogether four times, his other
prosecutor having been a man named +.
NJ. Shaw.
AS Leatherdale did not appear, Watsons
story of the difficulty is the only one of
record. He said that the man came on
his land on Sunday, loaded up with bad
red claret, and forthwith proceeded to
give him a good thrashing. When he had
the hermit down on his back he got his
throat in his brawny grip and allowed
that he was going to choke the breath out
of him., Old Watson, nothing slow, ex-
erted his Herculean strength to get his
clasp knife out of his back pocket, and,
succeeding in getting it out, planted the
blade with neatness and dispatch into
Mr.. Leatherdale's leathery neck. The sub
sequent proceedings had SO little interest
for Leatherdale that he came to town as
fast as he could and. procured warrant
for the hermit's arrest
After Watson had explained why he had
jabbed Leatherdale until he looked as if
he had been the UNDER dog in "a wildcat
scrimmage, the doctors and . the Court
concluded that it would be well to let the
hero of the fight return to his hermitage
near Colegrove, which, he Knows SO well
how to protect. .IbHn3 si9'Hies s1} Sfiif
