A BUSINESS TANaLE
Representatives of several wholesale
houses have been in town the past few
days trying to straighten out the tangle
into which the trading of A. r. Wal
ters' White Goods Store to Viii, Beach
seems to have involved all concerned.
~
Beach, with the understanding that the
latter was to continue the business at
the old stand and assume all the liabil-
itiee. He gave in return for the bust
ness several pieces of real estate, To-
Gated at different towns, with a sup
posed value;of about $500, there being
Il mortgage on one to the amount of
$500, and the indebtedness he was to
assume amounted to $1700. After get
ting possession of the goods Mr. Beach
suddenly removed them to Los An
Ceies, without making any provision
for the paying of the debts, and Mr..
Walters has no certificate OF title to
the real estate either. Beach has stated
all along that he is acting for another
party, whom be calls A. A. Pyatt, but
who has not materialized as yet,
though the transaction was made last
Monday. Tlis is the same Beach who
is said to have sold lots in the arroyo
during the boom at good figures to
people living in the east, who never
saw them. What few goods are left in
the store have been attached by Con-
stable Slater for the benefit of the
creditors.

MEDIcOs' MEETING.
At the meeting of the Pasadena Med
icsl society last evening, in the office
of Drs. Rowland aud James, there were
present Drs. Rowland, Van Slyck,
Briggs, Praegar. Lun1, Hull, Chaplin,
Hagadorn, Kearns, Bsckinsale, Page,
Weir, Grinnell and James.
The discussion for the evening was
upon the matter of the swallowing of
foreign bodies and the treatment in
such cases. DR.. Grinnell started the
discussion by relating the particulars
of recent case in which a substance
was supposed to have been swallowed,
but upon post morton examination no
foreign particle was discovered. Nearly
ill those present gave accounts Of
somewhat similar cases. Often such
articles as bones, pins, needles, glass,
nails, etc, come into the stomach. DR..
Beckinsale OF Covina told of a sailor
who declared that he had swallowed
number of jackknives, and after his
death this was found to have been the
case. DR.. Praegar gave it as his view
that the operation under aseptic sur
gerry was free from danger, and very
necessary in cases Of appendicitis.
