OLD MEMORIES STIRRED.
Frank Willard's Children Awarded to
the Mother.

The suit of Ellen M. Willard against
Frank A. Willard was up in department
six again yesterday before Judge Nc
Kinley.
This time the case was called with re-
gard to the matter Of the custody Of the
children. There is divorce suit pend
ing, and some interest is given to the
case by the fact that Frank Willard is
one of the Willard family that came to
grief about year ago in the United
States district court
Old man Willard, the present defen-
dant, Frank, and his brother and his
wife were all gathered into Uncle Sans
legal net by Inspector Flint, on the
charge of misusing the United States
mails
The little lady in the case was quite
attractive brunette, and she, with the
cooperation and assistance Of her hus-
band, and the other defendants in
minor degree, contrived to hit upon
most lucrative scheme. The mere fact
OF conceiving the idea labeled her as
brainy little woman. She invented q
decoction, the application of which made
women have a beautiful. roseate COM
pleXion. Agencies were established
throughout the southern country, and
each agent. to qualify as such. had to
buy so much stock. The representations
made easily brought the scheme within
the definition of swindling device, and
the Willards, with the exception of
Frank, rusticated for some months in
Jail. But things were made easy for
them, and they were sent to Santa Bar
bara, where they might be more COM
Portable. Another charge against them,
too, was not pressed upon their release
from confinement.
Now the brother, Frank, who Is JUS
tice OF the peace at Rosedale, is in the
deep waters of matrimonial disturbance.
He married young lady in the east, of
good FAMILY and who rejoices in having
father with lots of cash. Whether a
sufficiency of the cash did not drift
Franks way or not is uncertain, but at
any rate his wife separated from him.
and asked, and was yesterday awarded
the custody of the children AS Offspring
OF the marriage, there are Bessie, aged
II years; George, aged 9; Queena, aged
Z. and Fay, aged 2, and it is anticipated
that the family will receive another adj
dition.. Until that event takes place, it
is likely that the divorce case Will NOT
come for trial.

THE GROWERS OUT
A Change in the Program at the Bur-
bank for This Evening

The management of the Leonard
Grover company Of comedians at the
Burbank theater terminated very
abruptly last evening. The performances
yesterday were not satisfactory, and as
the fault was with young Grover, Man
ager Malin peremptorily closed the en-
gagement. and viii this evening put In
a new company, and change the pro-
gram.
Hazel Kirke, without q doubt one Of
the beautiful dramas Of modern
times, is the piece selected for the OPEN
ing by the new company from San Fran
cisco. 1t Is SO long since the play has
been produced here that 1t will be well
coined as an old friend. The company
is very highly spoken of and the revival
OF Hazel Kirke should prove highly
gratifying to the patrons and remuner-

ter. The costuming and scenic effects
are complete in detail, this company
having come direct from San Francisco
en- route to San Diego, playing this week

ON MECHANICS LIENS
An Opinion by Judge Shaw Affecting
Three Distinct Suits

An opinion handed down yesterday by
Judge Shaw in the suit of Patten, ct al.
VS.. Lawrence ct al, is Of interest to
contractors and workmen generally.
The action was one to foreclose lien
for materials furnished to contractor
to be used in the erection Of dwelling
house, and one point in the case involved
the construction of clause Of section
1854, c. c. p, and another the interpre-
tation of a clause Of 1887.
The clause of 1884 is as follows:
mo payment made prior to the time
when the same is due under the terms
and conditions of the contract, shall
be valid for the purpose of defeating,
diminishing or discharging any lien IN
favor or any person, except the con-
tractor, but as to such liens, such pay
ment shall be deemed as If not made,
and shall be applicable to such liens"
BY the terms of the contract q pay
ment of 1915 was to be made when the
work required by the contract should
be completed and accepted. The con-
tract required the construction Of all
the work on the building, except the
painting, let to another party. In order
TO do the painting properly 1t was neces-
sary that the finishing hardware should
be lifted and then removed until the
painting was finished. To complete the
building entirely 1t would then be neces-
sary to replace this hardware. The con-
tractor fitted the hardware and removed
1t. and then called on the architect for a
certiiicate of completion. The final
touching UP Of the piastering and the
repairing Of small space left unplast-
cred was also undone. The final plac-
ing of the hardware and the completion
or the plastering undone would not re-
Quire but little over one days work,
and would not cost IS. With the build
ing in this condition the architect is
sued the final certificate stating that
there was $441.80 due the contractor
deducting $1S3.S0 for hardware and
screens and releasing the contractor
from further performance except at
his option.
This seems to nave been hone under
the impression that the finishing hard
ware and screens had not been furnished.
put In fact 1t was furnished and lacked
only the final placing as stated. Upon
tnls Doth architect and owner accepted
tne building as complete and the owner
palo the contractor the sum Of $440.
The contractor afterward replaced the
hardware and finished the plastering
SO as 10 make the work complete. 1t was
insisted this payment was made prior
TO the time when the same was done.
Two other cases-Madera Flume Co,
vs.. Lawrence and Kerckhoff ct al. VS..
were consolidated with this
one upon trial and the aggregate
amount Of liens foreclosed were S114l. 49,
The amount of the contract price ap-
plicable to the payment of these liens
was 1902, being the final payment Of
S'6I and s135 unpaid on the completion
payment.
Findings were filed for plaintiffs, for
Patten ct al. for $651.57 and s75 attor-
neys. fees and costs; MADEIRA Flume Co.,
s324.6O and $50 attorneys fees: Kerck.
hof Co.. $165.65 and $40 attorneys fees.
The sum of 1902 due from Lawrence to be
divided pro rata among the above claim
ants. Foreclosure ordered.

Mrs. Sarah Clyman, who swore to
complaint against William Mollen and
charged him with having struck her,
made her appearance in the township
court yesterday, to make proof Of her
allegations.
The Herald, in telling Of the trouble
between this lady fair and the French
man out at Belvidere, spoke of her as
belonging to that peculiar type of ad-
vanced womanhood that is able to look
out for themselves. even to the point
of physical force. Mrs. Clyman repudi-
ated the insinuation with indignation.
1t developed yesterday, however, that
the lady does not trot' in the shy and
bashful class, but. as before indicated,
can give a great hulking man all the
entertainment he need desire with her
fists. M sA
The trouble arose when Mollen teth-
cred his horse on some land by permis-
sion of the owner. Mrs. Clyman ap-
peared on the scene and turned the
horse loose, as appeared from the evil
dence, and called Mollen a--"
to boot AS matter Of fact, Mollen is
nothing of the kind. but simply big
he stood the abuse all right the irate
lady sailed in with her fists and played
a tattoo on Mollen's face. He put up his
hands to guard off the blows, but there
was no evidence to show he struck back.
True, Mrs. Clyman said he did, and
brought a dress into court with one
sleeve torn off to prove his brutality.
But Mollen's bruised eye spoke vol
umes for him, and Mrs. Rouss!net
witness and the lady who owns the land
where the horse was tethered with her
permission, gave testimony that told
against the plaintiffs story. 1t was
in evidence, too, that on previous oc-
casion Mrs. Clyman tried to prod man
against whom she had some petty spite.
in the stomach with pitchfork. and
altogether she was proven to be warm
member. If anything more were need
ed to prove this 1t occurred when Justice
Young stated, in dismissing the case,
that the complainant had been the ag-
gressor, and that no evidence had been
produced to show her allegations to
be founded in fact.
Mrs. Clyman left the court room and
waited for Mrs. Roussinet to do her up"
as she passed out. The latter named
lady was afraid to leave the court room
and Attorney Orfila appealed to the
court for the protection Of the witness.
Constable Yonkin went outside and
read the riot act to the pugnaciously

GERS believe, for he has already done

According to their own confession they
burglarized the house about o'clock In
the morning so the crime was burglary
in the first degree. Judge Smith, how
ever, took into consideration the fact
that they themselves had made con-
fession and had recovered the stolen
goods, and sentenced them to only one

The Vermont Election.

Here is another respect in which Yer
mont is behind the times: In the date of
our state election. a
In 1868, % states held state Elections
before the presidential election ofthat year
and the returns from number of them
were awaiting as foreshadowing in some
measure the trend of public opinion in the
national issue. Since then most of the
states have changed the date for holding
the state election, which now takes place
when the presidential electors are elected.
The only states which hold state elections
this year before the great presidential
round up are Vermont, Rhode Island
(Which has just voted, Louisiana, Ala
bama, Virginia, Arkansas, Maine, Florida
and Georgia. The prolonged political ex-
citement in states holding two general cleo
tions in presidential years, and the I'M
necessary cost of conducting two such elec-
tions in one year, make change desirable.
Why not make the change in Vermont this
year Huntington News.

kilograms to Women.

The telegraph messenger who keeps his
eyes open had an opportunity to note curious
phases of human nature. One told re-
Gently that women never opened a telegram
without turning pale and when the message
was not alarming they looked disappointed.
He delivered about two death messages a
day. four birth messages, a great many
business messages and once in a great
while a love message that made him tired
to carry it. He carried one recently to a
young man in town that read ''IIow are
you tc-1ay, darling?n The answer went
promptly back by the boy, and was to the
effect: II am better, love-" He once
carried message of death to colored wo-
man, and after reading it her emotions
overcame her to such an extent that she
caught the messenger in her arms and
soundly boxed his ears. Another colored
woman refused to open or sign for a mess
age, but walked the floor and beat her
breast and screamed, supposing it an
nouncing death. When all the neighbors
had come in, one more venture-some than
the rest read the message. 1t was simply
a notice that the woman's sister would
come up from Leavenworth that evening to
see her.-Atchison Globe.
