WATTERSON EXPOSED
A New Turn in the Sensational tiornlday
Case

Another turn was taken in the Hor-
niday case yesterday, when Attorney
Move q. Norton. who represents the
grandparents of the child, got an order
from Judge Clark commanding Wat
terson to surrender the custody of the
child This order was granted upon
show ing that Watterson had married
his alleged wife April I'd at Santa Ana,
and Notwithstanding he had previously
stated under oath in his petition Tor
the guardianship that he had been mar
ried three years. This clandestine mar
riages at Santa Ana, it is alleged, was
vestigations which would have been
made, but it had the contrary effect. as
Mr.. Norton was on the qui vive. When
Watterson learned that Mr.. Norton had
received a certified copy of his marriage
license at Santa Ana, he Immediately
authorized his attorney to drop the
case and Judge Clark thereupon gave
the above order.
Attorney Norton, with Deputy Sher-
iffs Harrington, White and Matlock, Wis
tied the domicile of the Wattersons at
43O Ruth street last evening and served
the order on Watterson and Mrs. Wat
terson. A Mrs. Sells, who also resides in
the house manifested more interest i'll
the affair than Mrs. Watterson. The
Wattersons refused to give up the
child, and at a late hour last night Mr..
Norton was looking for a judge to Sc
cure a bench warrant for Watterson's s
arrest
The affair created quite sensation III
the neighborhood. Watterson, from ap-
pearances does not propose to give up
the fight. Attorney Morton will take
further proceedings today.

OSBORNE'S OBSERVATIONS
A Prominent Portland Man Will Locate In
This Citv

T. Il. Osborne of the Osborne-Price
company, Portland, Ore, has been in
Los Angeles and vicinity for several
weeks past, quietly looking around with
the intention of permanently locating
here. Mr.. Osborne is an eX-president of
the Portland chamber of commerce,
and was one of the fifteen guarantors
for the palatial building which was
erected three years ago at a cost or
$775,000 on the corner of Third and Stark
streets in that city.

ever, + can hardly believe my eyes, it is

surrounding country and today made
up my mind to permanently locate here
and telegraphed my partner and family
in Portland to come down. Portland is
in very bad shape from business
point of view. There is nothing doing
at all, and many people have left within
the past two months, not because they
wanted to. but because they had to, or
else starve. What little business there
is has moved up town, and Front street,
which used to be the center of busy
trade, is now lined with vacant stores.
another thing which is acting against
the city is the political fight between
the Lotan and Simon factions of the Re-
publican party. The city is simply
rotten with boodlers who will do every
thing or anything for money. Mayor
Frank is a disgrace to the position and
the town, and stands in for the spoils.
After the recent primaries the FRANK
Hume faction, which is really the Lotan
faction, paid off about 1900 workers in
their rooms on the seventh floor of the
chamber of commerce building. The
occasion was the scene of Wrangling
which was disgrace to the city. in sew
eral instances knives and pistols being
drawn. The curse of Portland is the
fact that it is a one newspaper town.
and the result is positive detriment TO
the place. The Oregonian STANDS IN
with the boodlers, and in consequence
they are never exposed or denounced as
they should be, and popular Indignation
aroused There is great chance in
Portland for the establishment OF a
fearless, independent newspaper winch
would boldly show up the present state
of corruption which pefmeateS every
thing political
Il think it will be several years before
Portland will begin to recover from its
present state and get back to the pros
perity of the past. Every business
man who can get his affairs in shape is
making arrangements to get out. l am
certain that those who once VISIT tnis
favored country would never be salts
fed to go back to Portland and remain
there. This place is the one place in the
world. and l intend to remain here and
cast my lot in with the Angelenos.'

THE FORESTRY RESERVATION
1r. Luce Protests Against Mayor RAIDERS
Disnatch-A Mining Bill

Editor IIerald:-Will you allow me
to protest against the following tele-
gram sent by the mayor yesterday to
Senator White and Congressman Nc
Lachlan: Amend land bill III. r.
Tl2S in conference before McRae and
brel forest reservation in California
shall not be affected by this act without
notice to the city of Los Angeles and all
other cities and public corporations de-
rivine their water supply from said res
ervation and without first giving them
opportunity to be heard"
1t is certainly very evident that the
mayor and those whom he represents
are not familiar with the object of this
bill so far as it pertains to the San Ga
briel reservation. Several weeks ago
the miners of upper San Gabriel mining
district held miners meeting and
adopted resolution petitioning con-
gress to restore to the public domain
only such land as lies within the above
lamed district for the purpose of min
iEg only. Il is a well-knoWn fact that
this district has been used for at least
half century as mining country:
that many valuable mines are located
within its boundaries and that it is lit
for nothing else but mining. This
government reserve has simply prohib-
tied the location of new mining prop
critics, as all claims located prior to the
setting apart as a reserve by congress
still hold as good as If the government
had no blanket over it,
There is no negro in the woodpile
as you enormously stated, and it is a
false impression to say that cattle and
sheep men are at the back of the pro-
posed law. The miners are as bitterly
opposed to having cattle and sheep men
in the district as the Chamber of Com
merce or Mayor RAIDER, and, besides,
the part of the reservation for which
restoration is asked is so rough and ut
terly barren of feed that no stockman
would for moment think of Upper San
Gabriel as astock range. The bill will
not if enacted into a law, result in, as
you say, irreparable injury to any one.
Ia Will in no way injure the wood, the
water or the storage of snow. The
gold taken out of the district amounts
to several thousands Of dollars annual
ly. most of which is dropped in Los An
geles, and no one has ever protested
against it. Don't. for the love of hu-
manity who have to dig in the sand and
gravel for the glttering dust. oppose the
bill which affects only a small portion of
the government reserve, and q portion
fit only for mining.

NINE KILLED, TWO WOUNDED

nc

Among a Band of Sheep
Electric car No. 122 of the Buena Vista
street line about II o'clock last night
caused a terrible slaughter in mutton, and
the price of tamales may be expected to
take sudden drop today. At
that hour band of nearly hun
dred sheep, belonging to Charles
Gassen. were being driven through the
streets on their way to the abbatoir and
had rounded the corner of Buena Vista
and College streets. The band was in
charge of vaquero and had just reached
the center of the street-railroad tracks
when the car came booming along
on its last trip up town.
The sheep were closely huddled to-
gether, and the heavy car plowed right
into the thick of the flock. When the mo
mentum had been stopped and a count Of
damages made nine carcasses laid around
on the street, the animals having been in
stantly killed. some being terribly mangled
by the iron wheels. Two more poor brutes
had sustained broken legs and had to be
put out of their misery. The vaquero,
himself, had narrow escape from being
struck by the car, only his quickness and
good horsemanship saving him.

THE NORTHERN PHARISEES.

TIE Northern Methodist Church,
in it's recent conference, took an
advanced stand in favor of social
equality Of the races, and Of their
tree intermingling in hotels and at
other resorts. In fit OF pious So
cial oneness, it was decided not to
hold any future conference in any
city, in which the hotels and pri-
vate houses made any discrimina-
tons against the negro.
This purpose on the part o. white
Northern Metbodists, to force So
cial equality on respectable negroes
is a great outrage on them.s 1t
seems to be the result of small
ice prepense and aforethought'
Whether the negroes OF the North
will submit to it, remains to be seen.
There was 8 good deal said in the
conference, also, on the subject OF
organic union between the North
ern and Southern Methodist church
es. 1t is juat possible that some of
the members of the conference be-
l!eve such thing among the posi-
bilities hereafter. They have an
idea, perhaps, that the fastening of
Southern Methodism On to the
wheels Of their politico-religiou
organization, would tend to recon.
Gle the negroes to the social equal
ity which they seem determined to
force upon those long.sufering peo-
pie. A leven of Southern white
people in tie Northern Methodist
Church would, in the opinion OF the
negroes, 60 far towards reconciling
them to membership in that church
So far as the lay members of thu
Southern church are concerned, thu
two churches will never unite
There could no worse calamity be
fall the Southern church than sucl
union. 1t would amount, practi
cally, to it's disbandment; and tn
fact is worthy the consideration {
