A CONDEMNATION SUIT.
Property Belonging to Mrs. Maud Is
Needed for City Use.

A condemnation suit is being tried be-
fore Judge York, without jury. 1t has
been brought by the city council against
Louise Maud, Jose Mascarel, Jacob Ad-
loft ct al, to obtain a certain parcel of
land lying between the north and.south
lines Of Ash street and is required by the
city for the purpose of extending Ash
street from Chavez street to Alhambra
avenue.
The San Francisco bcewery is located
on one lot and in all the property is
leased for. $500. The value of the fee
simple is placed at $4,000, and the value
of the land sought to be condemned is
placed at like amount. The damages by
the clty's appropriation is placed at
$4,000 for the land condemned and fur
Their sum of $4,000 for damage to the en-
tire tract of land belonging to plaintiff
Upon the plaintiff closing its case,
counsel for the defendant moved for a
non-suit on the ground that the statut-
DRY requirements had not been complied
with; that the commissioners appointed
to appraise values and assess damages
never qualified, and never viewed the
land or improvements.
The court having denied the motion
for non-suit, the defense put Mrs.
Maud upon the witness stand to testify
as to land values and also the value of
the unexpired lease of the land in dis
pute.
The further hearing will be continued
this morning. "a.

THE PREMIER CITIZEN.
Old Man Garcia Gets Rough Treatment
From an Arabian Pawnbroker.

Don Francisco Garcia, the pioneer
Spaniard who is weighted down with
III years, and who is one of Los Angeles
most noted citizens, is in trouble.
The old man has some few pieces Of
Encyclopedias of former greatness that
have been heirlooms in his family. Some
time ago the pinch Of need touched the
old man and he took a pair of earrings
to the store of an Arabian named Jose
Savas, who carries on diverse kind of
business at CAB Buena Vista street.
The man from tho desert offered an
advance Of $1.25 upon the earrings and
as Don Francisco's need was great he
took the money. Some time afterwards,
wishing to redeem his treasure from the
pawnbroking clutches of his Arabian
friend. he borrowed the 1.25 from some
of his "paisano" acquaintance and TAX
ing 1t to Savas, demanded his earrings
back. The cent per cent man took Don
Francisco by the back of the neck and
ran him out of the store. That was bad
enough in all conscience, for the hot
Castilian blood of Don Francisco has
not entirely evaporated, but when Savas
applied to him the hateful word, ia
drone"-thief, his. cup Of misery was
full.
Don Francisco applied to the district
attorneys Office for relief and got it,
Savas was arrested for disturbing the
peace.

POLICE COURT PROCEEDINGS
Frazier Pleads Guilty-Runge's Exam
nation Goes over

A light amount of new business was
disposed Of in the police courts yester-
day, much Of the time of the justices
being occupied in the hearing of con-
tinued cases. But very few arrests have
recently been made for petty offenses

business. .'.
The petty larceny charge against W..
H. Baker accused by George r. Dubois
with stealing a lot of sewer pipe, was
heard before Justice Morrison, and re-
suited in the discharge of defendant.
j. H. Reshaw was also tried before the
same magistrate for obtaining money
under false pretenses. Reshaw bought
some baled hay of dealer named A. II.
Bishop, and gave in payment an order
firm refused to pay the order. Bishop
caused Reshaws arrest. At the con-
clusion of the evidence the matter was
taken under advisement, decision be.
ing reserved.
1t was near the hour Of adjournment
when James Frazier, the thieving clerk
formerly employed by James Smith, the
Spring street dry goods merchant, came
before Justice Morrison and stated that
he desired to withdraw his former plea
OF not guilty to petty larceny charge
and enter one of guilty. He was ready
for immediate sentence and was given
sixty days in Jail. The commitment
will not be made out until the 10th at
8 pm, thus giving Frazier a chance
to get out Of town.
Felix Runge, the Industrious thief,
was again in court with his attorney,
and an extension of time was asked in
which to prepare for preliminary ex-
animation. This was granted by the
court and the case continued until the
