AN ENGLISH ARISTOCRAT.
Who Stole Horses Under the Influence
of Hasheesh.

George Lumsden- Mitchell Is the name
of the young Englishman who developed
penchant for hiring horses and buggies

was returning to the city when arrested.
He Is charged also with having uttered
a spurious check at San Bernardino.
While these several acts were un-
doubtedy committed there was reason
to suspect that Mr.. Lumsden Mitchell
was mentally unbalanced, and upon
complaint of Mr.. c. White Mortimer. the
British vice-consul, he was brought into
department one yesterday to be eXamin-
ed as to his sanity.
1t then developed that the patient was
81 years old. and according to his own
story. had held commission as captain
in the English army. For time. too, he
served in the mission field in India. and
at the present time his brother. Rev.
Arthur Lumsden- Mitchell. is residing a t
Salinas in this state. Having contracted
the habit of eating hasheesh while in the
east, he had continued it here and with
the worst possible result.
The patinet confessed that he didn't
think himself that he was quite sound
mentally. He suffers from the haluci-
nation that he has an income of $4,000 per
year which is being held from him
He was ordered committed to High
land and upon his discharge to be re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff.

TWO COLORFD LOVERS
Whose Love Affairs Have Landed Them

Lindsay Russell is a young colored man
of about 81 years of age. and he has got
himself into peck of trouble by wooing
mulatto maid who rejoices in the
name of Modelia A. Johnson.
The girl is about 20 years old and at
tracted the fancy of Lindsay Russell
over year ago. He became so infat-
uated with the girl that he ''popp'd the
question" in September of that year, and
for a time the colored lovers were as
happy as the proverbial turtle dove
In February of this year, as Miss Mo
della says, she yielded to the solicitations
of her sweetheart and acted unwisely.
All things might have come right, how
ever, had it not been for young Russell
going galivanting around with another
colored girl whom he claimed he was
going to marry. To this Modela OBJ
jected most decidedly, and entreaties
being of no avail she yesterday invoked

love with seduction under the guse of

FOR CHASING DUCKS.
Two Fruitland Neighbors Who Come to
Grief.

Hester Ross, who is quite mature
woman, was in the township court yes
terday to answer the charge of disturb
ing the peace of Mrs. Grant, neigh
Dor.
Both women live at Fruitland and, as
it appeared, Mrs. Grant keeps some
ducks which are a more of less con-
stant WEAKNESS to the f1esh-so far as
Mrs. Ross is concerned. The latter good
lady realized that to patience there are
limits, and when her neighbor's ducks
next came quacking into her domain
she gave them the run of their lives.
But that was insulting to Mrs. Grant,
and that irate lady upbraided Mrs. Ross
for chasing the flesh off the bones of the
ducks she was so carefully raising. One
angry word led to another, and what fol-
lowed no one could exactly say. There
was tangle of skirts, as the two wo-
men locked arms. a rapid twirl around
and then each one retired on their lau-
rels.
But Mrs. Grant determined on legal re-
dress ana she swore TO d complaint
against her neignbor She failed to get
it, however. for Justice Young dismissed
the case.

NOT QUICK ENOUGH
An Embezzler Who Skipped the City but
Was Headed Off at Tulare

Edwin Atlee turned quick trick a few
days ago and very nearly escaped with
his booty.
He was employed in a semi-confiden-
tal capacity by F. NJ Curtis. who deals
in old gold and silver, as we'll as many
other things. to purchase old metal of
the precious variety wherever he could
pick it up. Atlee also was able at times
to dispose of sundry articles of jewelry
in his peregrinatiors, and in this manner
contrived to get into his possession two
diamond rings valued at S53 and Sis in
cash, all being the property of his en-
ployer.
Being apparently satisfied with the
haul he had made Atlee took the train
for San Francisco on Monday after
noon, but when he was missed infor-
nation was at once given to Sheriff
Burr, who telegraphed ahead of the
north bound train to Tulare. At that
point Atlee was arrested and taken from
the train to await developments. Upon
his person was found three gold watches,
four gold rings and three diamond pins,
as we'll as an amount of money.
Yesterday afternoon a deputy left this
city for Tulare to bring back Atlee to an
SWer the charge of embezzlement.
