\ large number of friends of
both the Beretania and Pacific
tennis clubs were present at the
grounds of the latter Organiza-
ton yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the semi-finals which result
ed as follows:
Four o'clOck-Dillingham and
COney won over III. G.. Wilder and
Hitchcock. Score, 90 60.
Eve O'clock-WOOds and Wode-
house won over Hyde and Norton.
Score, Ga, 10, 60.
The last match was character
lied by very careful playing, both
sides very seldom resOrting to
swift strokes but preferring rath-
er to trust to lobbing and placing.
As will be seen from the score,
the first set was won by the Berc-
tania men after a pretty even
battle. In the second set the Pa
cific men played on a run and and
soon won the set. The Beretania
men made a stand in the third
set and won by superior playing.
The finals for the championship
in doubles for 1896 will be played
off on the grounds of the Bereta-
mia Tennis Club at 4:30 p. IN. to-
day.

Under the circumstances of the case
the supreme court holds that Near
thurs rights are to demand an account

Mccormick foreclosure would be ap-
piled to reduce or extinguish Magees S

and Magee would be required to pay
over any surplus in funds, or to assign
over after reimbursing himself what
ever personal judgment for deficiency
he might still hold against Mccormick.
But this is not what plaintiff sued for.
He did not put defendant in default by
demanding such an accounting. For
all that appears in the complaint de-
fendant may have done for and given to
plaintiff all that he was entitled to
demand. In any event. says the court,
1t is certain that no cause for action for
conversion is set out in the complaint
and the general demurrer was, therefore,
properly sustained.

A SUBURBAN GRIEVANCE
A Pasadena Property Holder Objects to the
Trustees Crude Methods


A case somewhat similar to the above
has also come up from Pasadena in the
complaint OF Alvin Jibbs VS.. the city of
Pasadena, the board of trustees and su-
perintendent of streets, J. A. Buchanan.
1T appears that in this suit the
board of trustees passed a resolution of
intention on Decembed 16, 1895, to i'm
prove Benefit court by opening it up
eastwardly to Oakland avenue. Some
land belonging to the petitioner was
particularly described. Within the ex-
terror boundaries of the district affected
and to be assessed to pay the damages,
was included another piece of land own
ed by the petitioner. The resolution did
not state how the public interest was
to be subserved until after the superin-
tendent of streets had posted and pub
lished notice of the passage of the reso-
luton. Then petitioner made objection
in writing. and on February 10th the
board of trustees tried to remedy the
matter by passing another resolution of
intention including the omitted legal
point. But the latter resolution was
itself defective for it did not define the
work which the commissioners appoint
ed to assess damages, were to perform,
nor designate what benefits or damages
they should assess.
1t is claimed by the petitioner that the
commissioner levied an assessment
upon his property of $780, and on June
10th he filed his objection and on July
9th the board passed IN ordinance tend
ing to overrule the objection. AS the
superintendent of streets is about to de-
clare the assessment delinquent and ad-
vertise the property unless restrained,
the petitioner prays that a writ of GER
tiorari issue directed against the de-
PENDANTS and requiring them to certify
and return all papers, maps, etc, in re-
gard to ordinances 796-S33, and that the

ing the city council and the city clerk to
certify to the court transcript of all the
records of the proceedings in connection
with the letting of the contract for the
Main street Improvement and the an
nulling of the contract by the city coun-
ell week ago.
In the application the various points
are set forth. How, on May 9Th, p. A.

John T. Long, the latter agreeing to i'm
prove Main street from the south curb
line of Ninth street to the north curb

should commence work within fifteen
days and complete the work within $50

his contract for valuable consideration

HIS MOVEMENTS WATCHED

Acquaintance
The Police Notified of His Presenc.-Story OF
the Celebrated Theft of Big
Bar Of Bullion

Garrett, the gold brick man, is in
town.
There are gold brick men and gold
brick men.
Garrett is not one of those who palm
off gilded chunks of lead on guileless
grangers for pure gold.
He Is the bold buccaneer who stole
a $4,000 bar of gold bullion from the
vault of the International company of
Mexico at Ensen NADIA, Southern Califor-
mia.
The story of the robbery, CARROTS ar
rest and imprisonment, his ultimate
acquittal and his recapture when he
returned to dig up the brick where he
had buried it, is an old one.
A gentleman who was employed with
Garrett in the office of the Mexican In
ternational company prior to the roi>
berry, ran across Garrett on Third street
last evening and positively identified
him, but the recognition was not mu-
tual; at least they did not speak as they
passed by. Garrett has not changed
much in appearance in the last half a
dozen years, but the other man has, so
Garrett was probably not aware that
he was spotted by an old acquaint-
aEce, who, however has no regard for
him and would faip see him doing time
in a Mexican penitentiary instead of
perambulating the streets of Los Ange-
les.
The man who Unexpectedly came face
to face with Garrett last evening and
recognized him, met him second time,
later in the evening in the same locality
and warned the police. This man says
he owes Garrett a grudge for getting
several Of his friends into trouble over
the gold brick steal. / appears from
his story that Garrett implicated in the
robbery one Allen Pratt, also a former
employe of the same company, Seymour
Jackson, another ex-employe of the same
company, and for five or six years past
cashier of Godby's bank at Ensenada,
and Riverall. a customs broker
Jackson and Seymour were Ameri-
can citizens and as such were tried by
the consular court and after several
months imprisonment were discharged
for lack of evidence duplicating them in
the crime.
Garrett and Pratt had taken out col
onization papers, which virtually made
them subjects of Mexico. They were
accordingly tried in the Mexican courts,
and after sixteen months imprisonment
in foul Mexican jail were discharged
for lack of evidence

A BOOM REMINISCENCE
Tangled Up Note and Land Transactions Ruled
on by the Supreme Court

In affirming the judgment of the lower
court in the case of Charles Fl. Near
thur, appellant, VS.. II. w. Magee, res
pondent, the supreme court has decided
a Pasadena suit that was of some
interest at the time of trial
The defendants demurrer to the plain
tiff's complaint was sustained and the
plaintiff, having elected to stand upon his
pleading, Judgment passed for defend
ant and plaintiff appealed.
The facts were that on October 13
1891, the defendant Magee loaned to
plaintiff $10,500, payable one year from
date with interest at IL per cent per
annum On the same day Macarthur and
wife executed to Magee a mortgage to
secure payment; at the same time as
collateral security they assigned to de-
fendant four promissory notes secured
by mortgage executed by Mrs. McCor-
mick to Macarthur. The notes were for
$4,000 each
After McArthur's debt became due
Magee brought his action in foreclosure,
obtained judgment, caused the prop
erty to be sold and himself became the
purchaser for the sum of $3.50. He
caused a deficiency judgment to be en-
tered against Macarthur for the balance
of the debt amounting to SO, 46S.9O.
The Mccormick notes falling due and
remaining unpaid, Magee likewise
brought suit in foreclosure upon them
and obtained judgment for the full
amount due. The property was sold
and purchased by Magee, who subse-
quently obtained the sheriff's deed
therefor.
The written assignment to Magee of
the Mccormick notes and mortgage con-
tanned the following provision:
In case default be made in the pay
ment of said $40, 500 note then said Ma
gee may maintain Immediately an ac-
tion against the assignors of thsi mort
gage, for the purpose of procuring and
may procure judgment fixing the
amount due to him under said note and
directing that said Mccormick notes
and mortgage be sold by the sheriff for
the purpose of satisfying the amount
due to said Magee."
1t was claimed that in foreclosing the
Mccormick notes and mortgage into a
judgment converted plaintiffs porperty
to his own use to plaintiffs damage in
the sum of $4,000 The prayer of plain
ii: was that defendant be required to
pay him this amount and to satisfy the
deficiency judgment of s946S entered in
the foreclosure suit of Magee VS.. Near
thur. The demand therefore was the
face value of the Mccormick notes. thus

A MILD INC0RRIGIBLE
Ramon Morales Has No One to State His Side
and Goes to Whittier

rather bright featured Mexican lad
named Ramon Morales was before
Judge Clark yesterday as incorrigible.
The boy is but IA and looks a year or
two younger. Born In the southern re-
public, with mother dead and disso-
Lutte father worse, perhaps, than dead,
the little fellow for four winters has
been an inmate of the Los Angeles or
phans' home.
The matron of the home when asked
by the court to state in what manner
the boy proved to be incorrigible, had
little to say beyond the fact that he did
not obey orders and set bad example
to the younger boys. Ramon had, it is
true, been in the habit of getting the
few cents certain of the other boys pos
sessed for the purpose of saving it for
them; in other words, he was banker
on miniature scale. Not long ago,
some little difficulty came up and Ra-
mon, finding a great. big silver dollar in
his pocket, ran away to Long Beach.
That was about the head and front of his
offending.
Mrs. Lambert, one of the assistants
at the home, said she thought he had
a bad influence on the younger boys,
but she, too, in answer to the direct
query, stated that she had seen nothing
vicious about the lad.
