MORE TROUBLE FOR ORTIZ.
Two New Complaints Sworn Out Against
Him and the Douglas Boy.

Two new complaints were yesterday
sworn out in the police court against
John Orth and Thomas Douglass, boys
who are accused of having systema1-
cally robbed August Wohlfarth, har-
ness dealer whose place of buoiness is
at First and San Pedro stSeets. To
a charge Of stealing a set of harness
from Wohlfarth Orth pleaded guilty on
Tuesday in the court and on Wednes-
day was given $40 fine or an equivalent
number of days in jail. Douglass
pleaded not guilty and his case was set
for trial.
Yesterday Wohlfarth swore to the
new complaints, in one of which the boys
are accused of stealing three double sets
of lines and pair of brides. in the
other of making way with two horse col
lars. Detective Steele recovered all the
property from a secondhand store.
where it had been sold and it will be used
as evidence against them. Orth was en-
ployed by Wohlfarth in his shop and it
is claimed stole the stuff, which he turn
ed over to the Douglass lad to dispose
Of Neither of the boys is over 18 years
of age, but Ortiz has been in trouble be-
fore, being arrested in July 4th last for
fast driving. He had hired livery
rig, and, taking two abandoned girls as
his companions, was driving about the
streets in furious manner. For this
he was tried and convicted in the police
court. He will now undoubtedly have
some time to serve before he gets out.

A FOUR-HANDED SALOON ROW.
Two of the Combatants Captured, While
the Others Leave Their Hats

AS the result of a saloon row which
took place at the corner of Also and
Garcia streets at 6 o'clock last evening
Louis Thye, timer, and Charles Buck
uais, plumber, were arrested and the
police are looking for two more partici-
pants who made their escape. The pa
troll wagon was called to the saloon by
Officer johnson, who had entered
during the progress of the row and ar
rested the two men.
On arrival at the place the bartender
showed signs of pugnacity and closed
the door in the faces of the officers, max
ing some remark about throwing them
out and taking the prisoners away. His
bluff did not work. as Thye and Buck
uais were hauled off to the station, where
each put up $40 bail to insure their ap-
pearance to answer a charge of disturb
ing the peace. Only the hats of the other
two parties to the row were secured and
they are at the station, where the own
ers can claim them.
It is probable that the action of the
saloon man in attempting to interfere
with the officers will be brought to the
attention of the police commissioners
through the chief on its next meeting
and action taken looking to a revocation
of the license.

pETERMINEp no DIE.
Suffered From. Heart Disease and Re-
solved to Quit This Earth.

Coroner Campbell was called to AL
hambra yesterday morning to hold an
inquest upon the body Of John Gorthy,
55 years Of age, q native Of New York,
who had died as the result of heart fail
ure and an attempt at suicide. Gorthy
was formerly a hotel-keeper, but of late
had resided with his wife in Alhambra,
leaving married daughter residing in
the east and a son who is said to be
somewhere in California.

his neck and jammed the other end of
the rope between the top of the door and
casing. Then drawing up his knees, he

and strangled to death.
His wife, thinking he had been gone
very long time, went to the clubhouse.
opened the door and found his lifeless
body lying on the floor where 1t had
dropped as she released the rope from
its position. He had probably hung
there for almost an hour when discov
cred. After hearing all the evidence,
the coroner's jury brought in verdict
of death from heart failure, evidently
considering that Gorthy had died as the
result of excitement and heart failure
rather than from the effects of the
hanging. as the rope was not strong
enough to have borne the weight of his
body,

CITY COUNCIL.
Business Closed Up at the Adjourned
Session Yesterday.

The city council met in adjourned ses-
sion yesterday morning and closed up
considerable routine business.
The following Recommendation of the
bridge committee was adopted: In the
matter Of flooring the Pasadena avenue
bridge over the Arroyo Seco,we recon-
mend that a requiY ton be allowed for
two-inch plank sufficient to cover the
bridge, and that the street superinten-
dent be instructed to cover the new
timber with thin layer Of asphalt. to
cost not more than $780, This will cost
less than to cover the roadway of the
brige with three-inch planking, and will,
we believe, be more durable.
The report was adopted, after much
discussion.
The city attorney was instructed to as
certain from the street superintendent
the amount due from the street railway
companies for repairing the pavement at
the intersection of Third and Broadway,
