USED A DUMMY STEER.
Clever Ruse Adopted. by Hunters in
Order to Approach a wild
Duck Pond.

There was a meeting of the Fish Com
missioners Yesterday. After the routine
business was transacted the Commission
ers began TO discuss the MERGED cases,
where several market-hunters were ar
rested for slaughtering ducks and geese on
the plain ponds by the use of guns larger
than twelve-gauge. These hunters have
trained cattle. The animals are moved
slowly to the ponds, with the hunter hid
ing behind their large bodies on the land
SIDE. When within shooting distance the
hunter merges from his Give blind and
oiazes away, with more or less slaughter
1t was suggested that a good way to stop
kuch slaughter with big guns would be to
nave law exacted prohibiting the use
OF I've blinds as we'll as large guns.
Inat would be of no avail" remarked

MRS. sCANLIN's CHILDREN.
Their Rights as Wards Outlined by
Judge Coffey.


Judge Coffey.
Judge Coffey has settled the accounts of
Mrs. Mary Scanlin as guardian of her
minor children, and in doing so has settled
a bitter controversy which was waged be-
fore him for long time.
Mrs. Scaniln's account was protested by
her son and one of her six daughters, who
claimed that all the money which passed
through her hands had not been accounted
for The ruling of the court, however,
sustains the account. Mrs. Scanlin's chill
dren inherited from their uncle $14, 600
worth of property. She managed the
estate, and from it paid for the education
of her children.
The children opposed this, but Judge
Coffey holds she did right. Mrs Scanlin
was not punctual in making her periodic
reports, and the court expressed the belief
that if she had reported regularly the
trouble would not have happened.

Urge the Defeat of a Ticket
Composed OF Mountebanks
and Anarchists.
TO SAVE THE PARTY's NAME.
Loyal Dem Gratis Are Called Upon to
Meet in Mass.Convention and
Organize.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. lin the
opinion OF a large number of statwart
Democrats of this county the late fusion
of that party with the Popuiists has oblit-
Grated the Democracy. at least for the time
being. In view of this PROVISIONAL COM
mittee has been formed to recrganize the
County Democracy in order that the party
of Jefferson and Jackson may maintain its
autonomy. This committee has prepared
an appeal to the party, which is, in part,
as follows:
To the Los Angeles Democracy: The socialistic
leaders in the late mocratic party oil the
county. and the socialistic adherents of the
PEOPLES party, have united to elect a set of
candidates who pander to foreign socialism
for support and have no enduring affection for
the principles of Democracy.
The ingenuity of those who have carried
these unholy combinations into effect will
bring inevitable ruin 10 the Democra tic party
unless true and loyal Democrats rise up and
drive the traitors into political oblivion.
The great impetus that has been given to the
silver agitation presents the opportunity of q
lifetime Tor political mountebanks to organizs
the socialisiic elements, with a hope that the
public mind will be entranced by the agila-
ton and become oblivIous to the yenal dup.ic-
ity OF rascally ofice-seekers who covet nomi-
nations and want office at any cost. These
patriots for revenue care nothing for the
principles that one are the DEMONSTRATING
ca use of the Democratic party.
Therefore, urged by these considerations
and appealing to our fellow-Democrats for an
impartial Judgment OF our actions, We urge
them TO meet in mass conve ntious, e ect their
county committeeman take appropriate action
respecting the nomination of Democratic can
didates, and reorgan ize the Democratic party
in the county OF Los Angeles.

days of the convention week without a
delightful variety of entertainment. Sum-
mer days at Del Mar are a real delight OF
themselves, with everything that goes to
make holiday by the seaside pleasurable.
The wonderful, calm. blue bay of Monte
rey, the tawny sands, the white breakers
falling lazily at the feet of the bathers
the walks by cliff and beach and the
bright sunshine are well worth travelling
miles to enjoy. The lady delegates are,
however. made to feel that there are still
other pleasures associated with their visit.
The social side of life is not forgotten and
after the business sessions are over the
evenings are siven to receptions, dances
and friendly calls.
Last night a ball was given in their
honor at Capitola and Del Mar was all hut
deserted, kept for the few who preferred
a rest on the br DAD piazzas or stroll in
the moonlight. The hotel buses were
packed with ladies and gentlemen, all of
whom had an enjoyable ride to the neigh
boring seaside resort. The guests were
received in the large ballroom at Capitola,
where they spent very pleasant evening.
1t was midnight when they returned.
Tonight they attended a reception in the
Sea Beach Hotel, Santa Cruz, given by the
ladies of the Santa Cruz branch. This
was a really brilliant event. in which
ladies and gentlemen of Santa Cruz parti-
cipated. The ballroom was decorated for
the occasion and the First United States

Ticket Be0tns.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Sept. 1.-THE
exodus from the Popocratic ticket is
about to begin. A. j. Utley, the Populist
nominee for Superior Judge of the late
fusion com hine in Los Angeles County,
has PREF AIRED a letter to the central com
mittee of his party declining to make the
race, ana assigning as reason that he de-
sires to take an active part in the cam
paign in favor of he National, Congress
sionaI and legislative tickets, which, ac-
cording to tlme-honored custom, he could
not do while making the race for Judge
ship. Judge Utley has been regarded as
one or the strong nominations of the
Popocrafic convention, and mich aston
'sbE:ent is expressed at his declination.
The Judges action in this instance en-
phasizes the fact that he is more than
ordinarily sagacious and does not care TO
lead a forlorn hope in this campaign.
Louis LIckel will probabl be substituted
in place OF UtIey on the ticket Other
judIcia destinations from the fusion ele-
meuts are said to be under consideration.
WHAT til end will be seems at present

Who Has Bid Defiance to the
British Lion.
THEIR QUARREL IN CHINA
Russia Has Taken Possession
of Territory.
WHICH is CLAIMED BY ENGLAND
Great Excitement Prevails Over the
Incident and Six Russian war
Ships Are on The Way
to Chefoo.

London, May PA special des-
patch from Shanghai says that the
Russians, through an American agent
named Smith, have taken possession
Of the disputed territory at Chefoo,
over which the British claim rights.
Six Russian warships are there as well
as the Detroit, Yorktown, and Olym-
pia Of the United States. The des-
patch adds that intense excitement
prevails at Chefoo.
A despatch to the Globe from Shan
ghai says that the Russians have seiz-
ed Lot -, of the British concession
at Chefoo, in defiance of all legal and
treaty rights.
The Globes editorial comment on
the despatch from Shanghai contains
the remark that: ''The seriousness of
the news from Chefoo cannot be over
estimated. The action taken is in di-
rect contravention Of existing laws
and treaties and cannot be viewed by
Great Britain as other than an un-
friendly act"
Washington, May 12.-The United
States has no interests at ChefoO that
are in any way threatened by the ac-
tion of the Russian agent in seizing
what is regarded as part of the British
concession there.
Little is known here as to the merits
of the controversy which has arisen
as to the possession of the lot II, on
the British concesshion at Chefoo, but
it is not lol1ed upon, in the light of the
press dispatches, as threatening to
cause any serious trouble. The Amer
lean agent Smith, mentioned in the
despatch, appears in the official direc-
tory of Chefoo as a reporter of num-
ber of American concessions, includ-
ing the Standard Oil Company, but first
he appears as the proprietor Of the
Chefoo dairy farm. The agent of the
Russian Steam Navigation Company,
ere set down as Ferguson q Co, a
British firm, that are, in the despatch,
represented as being deprived of the
shore property, so the inference is that
the whole controversy is founded on a
private business dispute.
