A rather peculiar divorce suit was par
TALLY heard before Judge Mckinley yes
terday. Mrs. Maxmillienne Gould
brought suit against her husband, w.
d. Gould, asking for separation on the
ground of cruelty, that the defendant is
a high-tempered, passionate man, and
that she is afraid of him. The complaint
in itself is a rather queer document
The plaintiff alleges that she is a Bel
gian woman, and that her language is
French. Her husband, she alleges, is
American, but before her marriage led
her to believe that he was conversant
with that language. After the marriage
she discovered that Gould could not talk
French, and, as she could not speak
English, they could not carry on con-
versation. This she urges as an addi-
tional reason why she should have a
divorce, as she claims that she was de-
ceived. Mrs. Gould does not explain how
the courtship and marriage were brought
about.
AS there are some property interests
involved, and the judge was not entirely
satisfied, he continued the matter for a
further hearing. There are some funny
features about the matter that will have
to be Strengthened up before a decree is
granted

suit brought against it by r. w. Wood

ney as heretofore performed in the con-
duct and management of cases against
this company, resulting in certain judg-
ments and in the extinguishing of debts
of about 5000, 900" are also fully approved.
The subsequent appointment of Mr..
Hotchlliss is disapproved by the direct
ors and denounced as being in the pri-
vate interest of Isaac z. Blake and one
VIM. II. Carlson, and against the best
interests of the company. The action
is approved by the full board of direct
ors. and the secretary is authorized and
directed to file a copy OF the official

Want, . Deed to the Property

Charles S. Parcels yesterday filed
complaint against Mrs. Sarah l.. Skin

effect that the defendant holds certain

Monte Vista Park Trial

The trial over the title of the little park
at Monte Vista was continued yester-
day before Judge Torrance in depart
ment five. Most of the adult population
of Monte Vista were in attendance. and
the proceedings were followed with the
closest interest. AS has been stated the
suit is brought by Barclay, the former
owner of the Monte Vista tract. against
twenty-four purchasers of land to set
tie the title to the some. The purchas-
ers insist that the park was dedicated to
the people as an inducement for them to
buy the land, but that when the pur-
chases were consummated Barclay
fenced it in and claimed it as his per-
sonal property. The feature of yester-
days proceedings was the tGtimony of
Mrs McVine, the wife of one - the de-
PENDANTS. The lady was quite dramatic,
and her imitation of the auctioneer
when selling the lots and his description
of the disputed park was very realistic.

DELEGATES IMPORTUNED
The Engines Of the Big Corporation
Turned Loose
lien Are Being csJoled, Threatened and Inn
piored to 'Stay by Their Friends"-The
Democratic Situation

All of the power Of the Southern Pa
cific compa oy and allied interests are
being used in the efforts to defeat, if
possible the nomination of George d.
Patton as the Democratic candidate for
congress in this, the Sixth district. The
same tactics were employed two years
ago, and that time unsuccessfully.
Then George Roberts. who was a dele
gate to the district convention, was
threatened, cajoled and importuned
with not to vote for Patton, who had
been his personal friend since both
were boys together. The result was that
Roberts, rather than antagonize those
who were at the time his employers de-
clined to sit in the district convention,
turning his proxy over to an
other. This year Roberts is
again Democratic district delegate
and similar tactics are being employed
to turn him if possible from his expressed
purpose. His friends say that Roberts
has been offered anything from bridk
house to an annual Southern Pacific
pass if he will only agree to throw Pat
ton. He is now independent of railroad
influences. and George Patton will, so
it is stated, secure his and other votes
which he, Roberts, may be able to con-
troll in the district convention.
Roberts yesterday declined to discuss
for publication the facts related above.
Patton will have at least sixteen votes
in the Los Angeles convention
and the suburban counties will go to
him solidly, all excepting part OF the
vote of Ventura, Which is pledged to
l.. ]. Rose. Should Patton secure the
Democratic nomination, his endorse
ment by the Populists is more than
probable. Hundreds of Republicans will
rally to his support, and his election to
congress will only be question of ma
jority.
The congressional convention will con-
vene at Ventura one week from next
Tuesday.

with cruelty to his horse. but upon hear
ing before Justice Morrison 1t appeared
that the junk man was treating the

hence, although he was found guilty,
a fine of SO was imposed, but RENTED.
A veterinarian examined the horse and
condemned it, so it was taken to the
