BURIED IN A TRENCH
A Laborer Has a Narrow Escape From
Death in Living Grave

By the caving of a sewer trench near
the corner of Ninth street and Stanford
avenue at o'clock yesterday afternoon
a laborer was buried under about eight
feet of earth, but fortunately rescued
before he was smothered to death. The
man was working for Contractor George
Cardell of 1912 Clara avenue and was
making a sewer connection at the bot
tom of the hole when the earth caved in.
His comrades at once set vigorously
to work to dig him out, and a call was
sent for the patrol wagon. By the time
it arrived the fellow had been extricated
and seemed little the worse for his mis-
hap. He refused to give his name and
declared that he needed no assistance or
medical attendance, he was all right,
His escape seems little short of miracu-
lous, as he was completely covered by
the dirt for over ten minutes.

ANNEXED A COW
Jesus Belardes Found Guilty Of Grand
Larceny in Department One

Jesus Belardes was brought to trial
yesterday in department one on the
charge of committing grand larceny in
having stolen a COW on Oct. 1st belong
ing to John Mcclure at Boyle Heights.
The evidence in the case was simple
and direct, but the jury were out about
an hour considering verdict. The de-
fense set up was something in the nature
of an alibi-for the COW. In other words
the defendant did not steal the COW, but
away out at Boyle Heights he found a
chain. He picked it up and carried it
as far as Third street and then found
that there was cow attached to the
other end of the chain. These were the
facts that the jury had to wrestle with,
and upon which verdict of guilty as
cheGged in the information" was finally

A NEIGHBORs' ROW
Property Rights on Small Scale Have
to Be Defined

One James Westwood wants to put up
a partition fence on his place on Phila-
delphia street. and Frank Simmons and
his sister, Mrs. Martin, say that he shall
do nothing of the kind-that is in the
manner he desires. They charge that
in putting up his fence Westwood has
trenched upon their property. and,
furthermore. in doing so is blocking up
the side windows Of their house. That is
adding insult to injury and they won't
have it. But Westwood was persistent,
and then his doughty neighbors, so he
says, threatened to "shoot the stuff1ng"
out of him, and as that meant death he
had them arrested for threatening to
murder him.
Both Simmons and Mrs. Martin were
arraigned before Justice Young and per-
mited to go on their own recognizance
to appear for examination.

An Old Timer Who Expended His Saw

Charley Springer, the old timer, is now
an inmate Of the asylum at Highland.
He is a pretty old man-about Gland
came to California across the plains in
1858. For years he was in partnership
with Tony Bright in the livery business
on Requena street, but when his wife
died two years ago he became despond-
ent and took to drink. He sold out his
interest in the livery business for from
$4,000 to $4,000 and proceeded to drink It
up. He did it, too. with the exception Of
the friends he helped, for in the time of
prosperity Springer was a generous
hearted man. Lately his mind became
unbalanced, and last Sunday he tried
to commit suicide. He took Fits cure
for alcoholism. and to that he ascribed
his mental instability. The end came
yesterday when Judge York ordered
Springer committed to Highland.

THE OFFICE SEEKING HORDE.

At the beginning of every administra-
tiop Washington fills up with persons
who desire some Office either in the
states, in the departments or in the for

son in The Ladies' Home Journal. dis
cussing "The Presidential Office. Many
of these persons have limited purse,
and as the days pass on this is exhaust

in. Many of these persons are deserving
and we'll fitted to fill the offices they de-
sire. But it is impossible to find places
for al, the deserving, and the position OF
the president is full Of trial. The sus-
pense and uncertainty that the office
seeker suffers are illustrated by the case
of a man from my own state WHO
thought he had good reason to expect an
appointment from President Garfield,
After be bad been weeks at Washington,
and had brought to bear all the influence
he could command, met him one day
on the street and asked him how he was

CRACKING BILLIARD BALLS.
freakisll Results of Blizzard Weather o.
the Ivory Globes.

the Ivory Globes.
Dudley Kavanagh, the champion of
billiards in the days of the supremacy
OF the old four ball American game,
talking the other night about the liabil-
ity Of ivory billiard balls to crack if not
carefully protected from cold drafts, re-
cited this amusing incident:
About 80 years ago, when kept a
billiard room in Fulton street, I got out
box of worries one winter morning to
do some practicing before my customers
would arrive. I had been playing for
shout five minutes, when undertook to
make sharp drive with the spot ball.
Istruck it fairly in the middle, the cue
going clean through the ball, knocking
out what the experts call the heart or
center of the bali. It got chilled and
had cracked all around the center. The
ball was ruined for regular playing pur-
poses, but had heaps of fun with it
afterward. explained to certain of my
customers, who were iovial sort Of fell
lows, fond Of a joke, that we could make
joker Of the cracked ball.
3 ST found when ! replaced the Heart
that the ball had all the appearance Of a
sound one, and that the heart would
remain in place until the ball was struck
sharply. These customers. who were
aware of the secret, would come in &C.
casionally with other friends and start
game. When the proper time came,
the man who had been selected as the
victim of the joke would be engaged in
conversation with one of the players,
while another would slyly remove one
of the sound balls when the victim
wasn't looking and replace it with the
cracked ivory.
"'It's your turn, George, one of the
jokers would cry out, and then the vic
tim played. Sometimes on the very first
stroke the player would knock the loose
heart out of place, and pinion the ball
on the tip Of his cue. The shot generally
astonished the spectators. Then they
would roar with laughter and applaud
with enthusiasm. The maker of the
mysterious shot was always the most be-
wildered man in the establishment. He
would examine the pinioned ball closely
and then scrutinize the dislodged
heart.
"'Well, George, they told him laugh
ingly, there isn't professional alive
who could beat that shot. It's the great
est on record
sit was many, many months before
that cracked ball ceased to be source
Of wonder and amusement to the down
town business men,"
Since Dudley's days in Fulton street,
the same accident has occasionally hap
pened, and Sexton, Tim Flynn, George
Slosson and Maurice DAILY each have
"heartless - billiard balls, which they
keep as curiosities. Flynn's specimen
had the "heart" knocked out of it in
