A swEETHHARTlNd QUARREL
Hearts Lead but Not in 1t When Trumped With
Clubs

An information charging George Nor
row with an assault with a deadly
weapon upon the person of Edward Gui-
rado was filed yesterday. The story in
connection with the crime alleged is
rather odd. and yet at the same time
not altogether uncommon.
1t appears that the parties live at
Downey,. and a short time ago Guirado
and another fellow named Stein invited
Morrow's sister and girl friend of hers
to accompany them to Whittier. The
girls consented, and the double couple
started off and had a good time in the
Quaker settlement. But Miss Morrow's
brother and the sweetheart of the girl
friend who went along did not take
kindly to the attentions bestowed upon
the girls. In order to even things up
they laid for the two gallants and gave
them a thorough drubbing.
Upon the face of it Morrow appears
to have committed an unprovoked as
sault. but 1t is not quite certain but that
he will make such a defense as would
morally, If not legally, acquit him of any
wrong-doing in clubbing the complain
ant in the case.

But the Precious fetal Doesn't Materiaiixe
Quick Enough
A suit has been begun against the Cali
fornia Picacho Gold Mining company by
George B. Kirkbride to recover $6253. 81
with per cent interest and costs. 1t ap-
pears as If Mr.. Kirkbride was the IAN
gel' that put money into the mine and,
so far, has failed to get any out. He ex-
pended s40O in paying the taxes for the
fiscal year 1s95-96; $500 for attorneys
fees, and $1053.61 for merchandise and
money advanced for operation expenses.
A claim also for $4500 is made for SER
vices rendered as president Of the COM
pany for eleven months.
Nor is this all. Messrs. Graft & LEROY,
attorneys, have entered suit also against
the same corporation to recover $1035S s.
for legal services rendered between Oc-
tober, 1894, and September, 2, 1896.

had been too much for her. and she fell
back in a faint. Not to be baked. Oros-
co seized the girl in his arms and, de-
spite what active opposition the mother
could offer, he carried her out of the
house and disappeared in the darkness.
No one appears to know the where
abouts Of this most aggressive of wooers
or his victim. The mother Is distracted
with grief and imagines that her daugh-
ter will be killed. She regards the mar
yiage license as only bluff on the part
Of Orosco, and that he doesn't intend to
marry the girl. Even In such case he
has placed himself within the power Of
the law by perjury, and later by COM
mttttng rape upon the girl.

ring, amid applause from their many ad.
mirers. 'Scaldy" forced the fighting from
the beginning to the close, ten minutes of
two o'clock. johnson at various times
fJuled his opponent, but "Scaldy" cared
little for that, as towards the close he had
things pretty much his own way johnson
is no slouch, or he would never have lasted
twenty-five rounds. "Scaldy Bill" got the
decision.
Both men were badly used up, especially
johnson, whose body in certain portions was
badly bruised. Had he remained three more
rounds he would have been knocked out
The sports, however, ~yere in their glee, and
the brutality of the affair made but little
impression on them. Very little money
changed hands, and the betting in the carly
