circumstances attending are as follows
Huntington cares for some stock in =
fenced-in lot, and alley back of d. w.
Simmons house. The alley has been
fenced in for years and no complaint has
ever been made. 1t appears, however,
that Mrs, Stabler has OF late frequently
let down the bars OF the alley, allowing
the stock to run into the road and occa-
sioning trouble for Mr.. Huntington. He
has always been compelled to put
them up again; and one day last week

SUICIDE BY STARVATION
An Old Scotchman Makes the Gruesome
Attempt
Humane Officer Hutchins Persuades Him to
Leave His Old Quarters and Go to
the County Hos pitaI

A report was sent to police headquar-
ters yesterday afternoon that an old man,
named John Wallace McGregor, living at
1902 North Main street. was attempting
to commit suicide by starving himself to
death. Humane Officer Hutchins made
an investigation and found the old man
IN most pitiable condition.
For five weeks he had been confined to
his bed in miserable little room, sur
rounded by wretched conditions and
poorly attended. Many Of his neighbors
believed him to have wealth concealed
about his room. Frequent visits were
made by those interested in his welfare,
but these were ungraciously received by
the suspicious old man, and finally they
were discontinued.
OF late he has received no care. except
one or two calls from a physician, and
the visits of a neighbor who gave him an
egg every day. which was all he could be
induced to eat. Mr.. Hutchins persuaded
the old man to 60 with him to the
county hospital, where he will receive the
care that his case requires.
A thorough search of the premises re-
moved all doubt of hidden wealth. All
that was found was purse containing
$1.57. John Wallace McGregor is a
ScOtchman, about 65 years old and a
man of family. His neighbors say that
he has couple of nieces living in Pasa-
dena, who formerly visited him. Accord
ing to ihs own statement he has no rela-
tives in this country.

attacked by it. In some sections it is at
tacking the oranges as we'll as lemons.
1t not only eats the leaves of these trees,
but it eats its way into the fruit, where
it seems to thrive wonderfully well. In
some instances it has caused a serious
loss in alfalfa and other hay crops.

has this to say upon the subject OF cut
worms, worm closely allied to the Cali

best. This is simply providing the
worms with po soned food of an attract

prepared for planting. The easiest way
is to thoroughly spray rank patch OF
clover with one of the arsenites. used at
the rate of one pound in one hundred

Somewhat dried cut it close to the
ground. Now spread in little heaps at
intervals over the field to be protected
and the chances are that in a night or
two every cut worm in the field will have
found one or the other of the heaps of
poisoned bait and will have made fatal
meal. This method has been thoroughly
tested in many cases and has always been
more or less successful, usually affording
complete protection when carefully

Justice Morrison yesterday dismissed
the case against Bartolo Ballerino, Juan
Murietta, Grace Carlyle, Grace Pomercy,
May Williams, Mrs. LottIe Van, Mrs.
Slocum and Mrs. Boulanger, on motion
OF their attorney in the language of the
demurrer that the complaint does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a public
offense.
Judge Morrison in summing up the
case said. among other things: 1.-THE de-
fendant is being prosecuted under that
portion of section 16, penal code, which
reads as follows: Every person who lets
any tenement, knowing that 1t is to be
used for purposes Of assignation or pros
titution, is guilty of misdemea nor.'
find that there is another law upon the
subject, AN act for the suppression of
Chinese houses of ill fame approved
March /, 1886, and amended February Z,
1894, eliminating the word Chinese and
making the act apply to all houses OF i'll
fame. This law requires that writ en-
notice be served on all persons who may
own houses occupied by prostitutes re-
quiring the abatement of the nuisance
inside of thirty days after the service.
There being no evidenece before the
court that the requirements Of the
amended act have been complied with the
motion for dismissal is granted"
And those Interested in the prosecut tion
aver strongly that the law is a mockery
OF justice and that the country is going to
the dogs. But they will stay in the fight.

Facts and Theories Lucidly
Presented for the Benefit
and instruction OF
RanCnerS
EDITED BY S. NJ. WOODBRIDGE, PH. D.

Under this title I shall give the readers
of the Herald each week an account Of
the progress made on the ranch in South
ern California. What does not thai word
ranch embrace as used here! 1t is not
uncommon to hear OF Mr.. Soandso's hen
ranch, when the owner has only coop
on a 50xl0O lot, or bee ranch, when the
owner has less than a dozen hives on the
roof of some shed in close proximity to a
candy shop or fruit cannery. The word
ranch usually conveys to the mind of the
eastern reader large range of acres upon
which horses and cattle and sheep rove,
or maybe where broad acres of grain are
raised. But not so where the Latin race
first brought civilization. Its meaning
has broadened until it includes a place
where anything can be grown or raised !;
hence We hear of hay ranches. fruit
ranches, cattle ranches beet ranches, ETC.
The word as used in California is SYM
onymous with garden, farm or planta-
ton.
In this department shall go one step
further than the ranch and keep our read
ers informed as to the articles manufact-
ured OIL the ranch and from the products
OF the ranch, giving spec o. attention to
the utilization OF what are now waste
products thereof. Nothing is ever lost in
nature. and there is no reason why in
this progressive age anything should be
waste substance on the ranch.
Daily papers usually devote considera-
BILE space each week to agricultural inter-
ests, thereby doing incalculable damage
to their constituents by publishing all
sorts Of trash from the pens of-well, no.
body knows whom-encouraging expert
mental work, which never results in any
thing but harm to the experimenter. 1t
will be my aim to present only the good.
successful and rational methods pursued
on the ranch, and to condemn untred
and unscientitic and Utopian schemes SO
prevalent OF late to fill up space. Nor
credit to other publications for that
which is deemed good.
shall be assisted by able writers in
different lines OF ranch work. and shall
also give the substance OF the papers pre-
sented at the meetings of the state board
of horticulture. the farmers institutes
and Pomological society.
shall endeavor to answer all questions
| that are presented OF general or specific
! nature that bear upon the prosperity OF
ranch life; but the questions asked must
| be definite, precise and pertinent. re-
