Quite well-appearing youth named

Of having forged a check on the Farm
ers and Merchants bank for s22.65.
The story that was unfolded yesterday
graphically illustrates the adventures
that young fellows encounter when they
start out to see the world. 1t appeared
that Kramer and a companion named
Harris, left Salt Lake City, where their
people reside, and beat their way to San
Francisco. At Truckee they fell in with
fellow named Harry Kearney, and af-
ter the trio had Joined forces and trav-
eled together as far as Sacramento, the
latter said good-by and remained be-
hind, while Kramer and Harris proceed
ed to the bay. Not finding anything to
do, the young fellows started off again.
intending to travel at the expense of the
Southern Pacific as far as Los Angeles,
but before doing so Kearney again
turned UP in state of pronounced i'm
pecuniosity. Kramer had, SO he says,
some money, and he helped his casual
friend out, and then Kearney also deter

seekers after fortune arrived in this city
all right land by that time Kearney had
run into Kramer's debt to the extent of
over S11. He promised to pay as soon as
he got work, and a week or two later,
when Kramer and Harris were standing
outside the hotel where they boarded, he
came up and told Kramer he had come to
pay up. He proffered the check for
$22. 65, which Kramer is now charged with
having forged, and the latter gave Kear
ney the balance over and above what he
owed. Proprietor Fredericks of the hotel
cashed the check for Kramer. and the
same afternoon he and Harris determined
to pursue their search for work else
where, for Los Angeles did not seem to
be hungering for their services. They
walked to Burbank and then jumped
freight train and reached Fresno. where
Harris has some friends. At that place
they were both arrested and returned to
Los Angeles on the charge for which
Kramer is now standing trial.
That. briefly. is the story as told by the
defense yesterday. This morning will be
given up to argument. and then the jury
will pass upon the story of the apparent

THE NEW S. P. MANAGER
A. D. Shepard, Freight Agent at San
Francisco, to Succeed J. M. Crawley
The Change to Come Into Effect Tomor-
row - Mr.. Shepard's Record Mr..
Smurr's Appointment Denied.

There seems to be now no doubt that j.
M. Crawley will after today be no long ar
assistant general freight and passenger
agent for the Southern Pacific railroad
in this city. The Examiner gives some
interesting details of Mr.. Shepards ca
reer:
Mr.. Shepard was an errand boy on the
Erie road thirty-two years ago. His
father was a telegraph operator on the
same road and was the first operator In
the country to receive message by
sound or send a telegraph order direct
ing the movements of a railroad train.
The son entered the employ of the Gen.
trail Pacific at Ogden in 1870. He became
freight agent there later on and subse-
quently occupied the same position at
Sacramento. He was also the first
freight agent of the Sunset line at DEM
ing and Ell Paso. Becoming freight agent
In this city he was for a short time as
sistant general freight agent while the
general offices of the company were at
Fourth and Townsend streets.
Contrary to the recent announcement
of the New York Railway Gazette, Mr.
Stubs Is not going to promote Mr..
Smurr to the position of general traffic
manager. Richard Gray, who was given
tndL position IN 1853, Wnen Mr. StuDD DS
resigned to go to the st. Paul and Mil
waukee railroad, is to retain that title
notwithstanding that he is still incapac-
itated from work by Illness. 1t has been
over two years since Mr.. Gray has been
able to work. During that time he has
been on half pay. 1t is understood that
the directors will continue the same ar
rangement with Mr.. Gray during the en-
suing year.
Mr.. Crawley has been the Los Angeles
agent since 1889. He succeeded c. F.
Smurr, who became general freight
agent. He has therefore always been
considered next In line of promotion to
the Office of general freight agent. Prior
to going to Los Angeles, Crawley was
for years second assistant general
freight agent in this city. Mr.. Crawley
has resigned his Office in order to re-
main in Europe until his daughter grad
yates.
Mr.. Shepard's promotion is thought by
some to have been an advancement over
the heads Of Assistant General Freight
Agents William Sproule and G.. w.
Luce, who occupy offices adjoining those
of General Freight Agent Smurr.
Mr.. Shepard leaves for Los Angeles on
Saturday.

Mr.. Lukens Joined IN q deed to Isabella
Latimer, conveying the lot from which
the alleged dedication was made and
including the land alleged to be dedi-
Gated, but 1t was stated by Lnkens to
the grantee that the strip had been
dedicated. Several other conveyances of
the lot were made at later dates, but
no mention was made in any OF these
regarding the intended dedication. In
1893, when 1t was again conveyed, the
clause excepting therefrom any rights
which the public may have acquired by
usage or otherwise over the easterly
portion of said lot" Thereafter, in 1896
Frank A. Haskell and wife conveyed by
deed to the city of Pasadena the east
erly twenty feet of said lot "for street
purposes only" This twenty feet grant
ed to the city Is portion of said Hudson
street, which had been dedicated and
was in use as a street at the time of
the alleged dedication in question.
After inquiring into these several
facts the court proceeds:
Private property cannot be taken for
public purposes on the theory Of dedi-
cation by the owner, except upon an un-
equivocal intention to dedicate or an
estoppel to deny dedication. After an
unequivocal offer to dedicate, and a
grant, of the property by the donor be-
fore acceptance of the dedication to an
to be kept alive, must continue in the
grantees. The reservation in some Of
the subsequent deeds is consistent with
dedication of that portion just dedicated
and in actual use, and, hence, not une-
quivocal as to the dedication in ques-
tior.
"The work done upon this dedicated
portion by Lukens. or at his request and
expense, was not an acceptance by the
public, but confirmation Of an offer to
dedicate.
"The only acceptance. therefore, IL any,
was in use thereof by the public. That
use. find by the evidence, consisted only
In crossing the portion thereof nearestto
First street in going to or from Hudson
avenue to or from the west portion of
First street. This travel did not con.
tinue over all the land Lukens had Of
fered to dedicate to widen the street.
but covered only a small portion Of the
western end. This travel was not contin-
uous and has been wholly discontinued
for several years.
II hold. therefore, that there has not
been such an acceptance of the dedica-
tion offered by Lukens that the offered
dedication was withdrawn before ac-
ceptance, and that the defendant has
jurisdiction to impose the assessment for
widening of said Hudson avenue Judg-
ment is, therefore, ordered for defend
ant"
