A BARLEY DEAL

Difference Of Opinion as to the Ownership Of
Grain
John Scott is out on $1,000 bail on COM
plant filed against him in Justice Nor
rison's court in which he is charged by B.
f. Pritchard with embezEling and appro-
priating the sum of $1,000 while acting as
agent for the latter.
Scott is a rancher who lives near
Whittier, while Pritchard is known as a
real estate agent in the city and owns and
conducts warehouse at Buena Park. 1t
is claimed that Scott agreed to purchase
of Pritchard 5000 centals of barley, to be
delivered ut the latter's warehouse for the
sum of so cents per GENITAL. Scott had but
little money to spare, yet agreed to buy
the barley on the representation that he
could buy it and get 40 cents advanced by
the city banks on warehouse receipts. The
deal was closed and the Los Angeles
National bank advanced $276O on the lot.
At 80 cents, the agreed price. Scott yet
owed Prtchard $500, which it is claimed
was paid.
These transactions took place last Au-
gust. On September 2Sth, the price of
barley being on the decline, the bank
celled on Scott for additional security,
which he furnished by a chattel mortgage
on several heads of mules, etc. 1t is
claimed that, Scott making the note to the
bank in his name, and mortgaging his
property to more fully secure the bank
against loss by reason of the depreciation
in the price of barley, the grain is his. A
dispute has arisen over the ownership and
the complaint is the result.

Moody is still living and working in the
field of reform as energetically as in years

was only recently tenderly laid away in a
Massachusetts burial ground, after long
life of usefulness, and this may have given

his long rest. There are many thousands

needed a little brushing, and accord

perform the needed service for him. While
dusting epergetically the brush came down
on Ritch's revolver, carried in his hip
pocket. 1t went off, and the bullet fat
tened itself on the cement floor at his feet.
Ritch was not injured by the shot, but his
trousers caught fire. No time was lost in
