lie Led a Gang Of Youngsters In an Assault
on "Lone Wildly
Mrs. Maggie Discon is poor, lone Wild
ow, whom the boys about Jackson street,
where she lives in little fr1me house, take
delight in tormenting. A couple of days
ago some of these youths started bonfire,
and as the flames threatened her humble
mansion she ventured to demonstrate.
they received her admontions SO quietly
that she went back to her work. A lurid
glare brought her post haste to the door in
few moments again, and she saw that a
lot of towzle.headed urchins had been en-
listed by the elder ones for the purpose of
carrying brush to pile up upon the fire.
The flames were driven by the wind 'for-
ninst" her domicile, and Mrs. Discon
rushed to the hydrant and filling a big
bucket with water, proceeded to the fire
which she intended extinguishing. Her
intention was good, but her execution was
not up so much. A young tough, with the
patrician cognofnen of Earnest de Mussy,
told her if she ventured to put out the fire
he would wet her all over. She did make
the venture and De Mussy hit her bad
clip on her rheumatic shoulder, and the
other boys aiding in the assault the can of
water was spilled over her, by no means to
the enhancement of her clothing or per-
sonal appearance.
Mrs. Discon had the satisfaction of see
ing that a complaint was drawn up by the
district attorney and warrant issued for
the arrest of young De Mussy on the charge
of battery,

Raises Some Money

Transforms an Order Into a Receipt and
Raises Some Money
The ingenious ability which J. c. Hos
man, local contractor, has developed in
manipulating a pen has got him into
trouble. 1t seems that he has been doing
certain work at the new Tubbs house, at
the corner Of Washington aud Peru streets,
and laboring man named Bedbury has
been doing some small contract work in
the way of hauling sand and scaffoiding to
the same place. A few days ago Bedbury
wrote out an order on G. w. Tubbs to pay
one Brown the sum of SS.45, and handed
it to Hosman to deliver to Brown.
Right there Hosman got in some very
fine work. He changed the frs two words
of the order and il so doing transformed
it into a receipt to himself (Hosman) in
full of all demands for hauling sand, etc. !,
onto the Tubbs property. Hosman pre-
sented the forged receipt and Mr.. Tubbs,
understanding from it that Bedbury could
have no claim against him, paid to Hos
man certain amount of money.
But Bedbury was not content to leave
things in such shape, and wended mis- way
to the district attorneys Office when he
found vent for the anguish of his pocket
by having a complaint drawn, up and a
warrant issued for Hosman's arrest on the
charge of "forging receipt for money"

THE BROUSSEAU CASE

The Family Contest Ended and the Deed OF
Conveyance Broken
The much.doputed deed of conveyance
in the Brousseau case has been broken by
the court, and Mrs. Lizzie Sage, who car
ried on the contest without any support
from members of her family, is now ousted
from possession of the property on Star
street, and in antago2ism to her father and
brother.
The defense had its innings yesterday
and put quite large number of witnesses
upon the witness stand. w. c. Petchner,
the notary public, testified to having read
the deed to the old man very carefully, and
that he expressed his satisfaction.
John M. Miller corroborated the state
ment made by his law partner, Judge
Hatch, and stated that he thought that
both the mortgage and the deed of convey
ance were signed the same day.
James ID. Mackay, whose home adioins
the Brousseau lot, stated that the old man
told him of his intention to leave his prop
erty to his daughter, and inquired of him if
he thought him sane enough to dispose of
his property.
number of other witnesses were put
forward. all of whom testified to Brousseau,
ST., making the transferOf his home after
consideration and with full knowledge
In rebuttal d. j. LIE Doux, the physician
who attended Mrs. Brousseau in her last
illness. testified that the plaintiff, at the
time he lost his wife, was mentally unbal-
anced.
Even "Andy' Francisco. the popular
clerk Of the court, was made to go upon the
stand and tell what he knew about the
case. AS it happened. he did know some
thing, too. He stated that the plaintiff had
at one time asked him TO draw up his will
for him. but he never took any steps in
that direction, because the old man didn't
seem to know what he wanted.
Opposing counsel having decided to sub.
init the case, Judge Pierce stated that he
was as ready then as at any tme to render
a decis on. He then proceeded as follows:
"It has be,n most unfortunate case.
With the ciuses that led up to the present
coudit on have nothing to do. save as
they cast light upon the case. 1t is estab-
lished that Mrs. Sage is the daughter of
plaintiff. and the natural relations between
father and daughter continued until
short time ago. The deed was made by
the plaintiff, who is of the great age of So,
wi hout any present consideration being
given. The considerations mentioned in
the deed are those of affection. When
Mrs. Sage gave money to him it was not
out of the natural affection
she bore her father. To sustain
such a deed ii must be shown that it was a
perfectly honest and fair transaction. l
do not believe at the time the deed was eX-
ecuted the plaintiff was in such mental
condition as to warrant the belief that he
knew what he was doing. No doubt he is
mistaken in many things. While his mem.
ory in certain directions is excellent in 9th
ers it is lacking. The testimony given by
Judge Hatch, Messrs. Miller and Petchner
believe to be true, and when Mrs. Sage
says she gave her father money and he de-

THE PRIZE CAN BE SECURED
Los Angeles Can Get the State Demo
cratic Convention
and Put Forth the Necessary Effort.
Practically No Opposition

The sentiment that the next Democratic
state convention is to be held in Los Ange-
les is gaining ground every day, and if the
proper effort is made there is but little
doubt but that this city will secure it. So
far there has not been the slightest oppo-
sition to Los Angeles as the meeting place,
outside Of acramento, which of course
wants it, but it is believed that this oppo-
sition is only on the surface, and that if
the proper Inducements are offered even
the Capital City will fall in line.
1t is conceded that Los Angeles is the
the best equipped city in the state. with the
possible exception of San Francisco, for
holding the convention. There is abso-
lutely no feeling against the convention
meeting here in any quarter. and the loc al
leaders of the party in this city are unit
in the opinion that it would be stroke of
good politics to hold the convention in Los
Angeles, on account of the influence it
would exert on the local elections this fall.
But there is a certain amount of prelimi-
nary work that must be done, and done
promptly, to get matters in shape to go be-
fore the state executive committee with a
definite proposition. In the first place, it
is necessary to at once secure subscrlp-
tions to the amount of $500 or $1,000 to
guarantee the expense of the convention
that is, the rent for the hall, The decora-
tions, headquarters. etc. II is not necessa-
ry that this money should be raised at once
but it should be pledged 30 that the Los
Angeles representatives could go before
the state committee with something def
mite on which to work. To this end the
| chairman of the city and county executive
| committees should at once meet and form
ulate a program of action. Let them meet
and authorize responsible committee to
canvass the city for an entertainment and
| expense fund. Then, when this is done,
the Los Angeles represe natives should 60
before the state Democratic committee
and present their proposition. There is no
time to be lost and the matter should be
| attended to at once.
As has been stated, there is at present
| practically no opposition to Los Angeles,
and if advantage is taken of the opportuni-
| ty success is assured.
| Martin Marsh and other leading Demo-
Gratis say that they are willing to cooper
ate, and all that Is now necessary is for
| them to get together and get matters in
shape. 1t is only necessary for some one
to take the initiative and success Is as

Alfred ]. Newton Held for Over a Year is
Discharged
A case came up before Judge Smith, in
department one. yesterday wherein, by
reason of the extreme age of the suit, the
prosecution had lost it's vitality and the de-
fendant was discharged from custody.
Alfred j. Newton was arrested in Nov
ember, 1894, under the administration Of
County Clerk Dillon, and held to answer
for buying and receiving stolen property.
The property in question was ten gallons
of castor and lard oils belonging TO Fuller
Il Co. Inasmuch as the defendant was re-
leased on bail and for time was outside
the jurisdiction of the court the case could
not be tried; then the prosecuting witness
became very i'll, and as grand finale

close pefusal of the transcript of the evid-
ence taken in the lower court he was of the
opinion that a conviction could not be
obtained. In such case he moved for a
dismissal, and it was so ordered, the de-
fendant being ordered discharged.
