FOUGHT OVER A WOMAN.
Lively Mill on Buena Vista Street Yes
terday Afternoon.

While ]. w. Ellis and r. NJ. Dale were
engaged in general mix-up on Buena
Vista street, just before o'clock yester-
day afternoon, they We're arrested by
Officer Benedict and sent to the police
station on charge of disturbing the
peace. The row between the men orig
mated about a frail damsel named Lii
liam Keast, who is domiciled in the house
of Clara Lorraine on Also street.
Some two weeks ago the Lorraine wo-
man and the fair Lillian came to police
headquarters and asked to be given pro-
lection against Dale. Lillian said she
had left her husband and child in New
Zealand and eloped with Dale over a
year ago. They came to San Francisco,
where she soon found out his true char
acter, and as he did not support her.
but, on the contrary, attempted to live
off her earnings, she left him and came
to Los Angeles, entering the Lorraine
house.
Dale followed her here and tried to
coerce her into living with him again.
This she refused to do, and one evening.
she claimed, he assaulted and choked
her. This occurrence took place in the
house. and no arrests were made. The
purpose of the women in calling was
to have Dale kept away or arrested II
he persisted in hanging around. The
police have since kept a lookout for any
overt act on the part Of Dale, but he
has done nothing wrong.
Yesterday Lillian started for the mat
inee with Ellis, an admirer of hers, and
had gone but little way when Dale
came up and accosted her. She would
have nothing to do with him and at
tempted to pass on. At this it is said,
he grabbed her by the arm and attempt
ed to detain her. Thereupon Ellis in
forforod nd Hno 11v q Ahad IN In,
face. A Arolsgh-and-tumble fight ensued,
which was only stopped by the arrival Of
the officer and the arrest of the partici-
pants. Ellis put up $40 bail for his ap-
pearance in court, but at last accounts
Dale still languished in cell.

THE NEW COLONEL.
Capt. W. G. Schneider, Co. A, Elected tc
the Command of the First Brigade.

A meeting Of the officers Of the First
brigade of the Seventh regiment, N. G.
c., was held at the armory last evening
to elect a lieutenant-colonel to fill the
vacancy caused by Lieut.-Col. Thomas
Nerney's transfer. Capt. Alfonso pre-
sided.
Capt. Dodge Of San Diego, Company B,
rose to make the first nomination, pre-
senting the name of Major J. w. Diss.
Capt. Winters Of Pomona seconded the
nomination.
Capt. w. G. Schneider. Company A,
was placed in nomination by Capt.
Findley of Santa Ana.
Major Weller moved that nominations
close. Twenty-seven ballots We're cast,
but the vote was delayed with the arri-
val Of two tardy officers. OF twenty
nine ballots twenty were cast for Capt.
Schneider. nine for Major Diss.
Capt. Schreiber made a neat speech,
acknowledging the honor. Capt. Dodge
paid high compliment to the colonel
elect, although he had voted for his RI

lady to pay UP or he d close up the house
nail q notice of closure outside and take
charge. The landlady and her daugh-
tiers, not to mention the guests within
hearing, were scared out of their vita
until some el-headed fellow happen
ed along and told the landlady that all
she need do was to put up the required
security. Thereupon young son was
sent up town to mako a deposit of $50 Sc
curity and the matter ended for the time
being.
In the light Of such experiences as the
above the sycophant and fool may have
an increased respect for the representa-
tives of the law, but the ordinary citi-
zen will think that Constable John
ston will be acting wisely II he gives his
too officious deputy a prolonged vaca-

we have had here this spring
have proved in many instances
detrimental to the sugar beet

localities having crusted over it
prevents the tender plants

Another cause OF the seed not

Money Will Be Raised For 1t and His
 Family by Publication of His Poems.
 That genial, poetic genius, Eugene Field, even if he did not amass great fortune out of his rhymes, left behind what is much better, host of friends and admirers wherever his verses trav- eled or he was personally known. Prob ably no American writer of recent years was moro universally loved. His very tenderness was at once his weakness and his strength.
 Now that he is gone the friends of his fortunate days are determined that his memory shall be honored with monu- ment and, what is more to the point, that his family shall be provided for. To this end they will issue volume of selections from his best poems, under the title of Field Flowers, which book has been profusely illustrated by the best American artists The proceeds of the sale of this book, at $1 each, will be divided equally between the monu- ment fund and the Field family Mrs. Field has authorized this publication, under the auspices of the monument committee, composed of Melville E. Stone. Joseph Medill, William Penn Nixon, H. H. Kohlsaat, Victor F. Law son, Slason Thompson. H. W. Seymour. and Marcus Pollasky, all well known Chicago newspaper men and personal friends of Eugene Field. w Washington Post
