How Young Lopez Stopped a
Prosecution for Rape
Welded ON THE HIGH SEAS
The Charge Of Forgery Against al Fore.
man Dismissed
Examinstion Of the Mings Brothers for the
Murder Of John Hayes Resumed Divorce
Business-dencral Court Notes

The charge Of rape against Tranquil
ino Lopez, young Spaniard, was dis
missed in department one before Juoge
Smith yesterday morning. And thereby
hangs a tale. In March last young
Lopez, who lives near Rivera, was ar
rested on a charge of rape on the per-
son of Mauricia Preciado, whose family
lives near the same place. The child
is below the age of consent and it was
on that account that the charge was pre-
ferred. The young people had been low
ers. and the girl, to say the least. was a
willing victim. When her condition
became known the rage of her parents
knew no bounds, and the arrest of Lo-
PEE followed. despite the fact that he was
willing to marry the girl. Lopez gave
bail, and when he gained his liberty set
about to see how he could get out of the
meshes Of the law. OF course a license
could not be issued, owing to the youth
of the child, and it was suggested that
they charter boat and go outside the
three-league limit and have the cere-
mony. Mauricia was kept under lock
and key, but she succeeded in evading
the parental custody and, joining her
lover, they proceeded to Port Los Ange-
les. where they secured a boat ,and, pull
ing to sea, were duly made man and
wife.
Yesterday when the case was called
the certificate of the master of the boat
was presented, and on LopeZs promise
to treat his wife right, the charge against
him was dismissed, and he was dis
charged

YOUNG BICYCLE THIEF
Stole a Wheel in Escondido ana Sold II In
This CITY

This City
young bicycle thief is now behind
the bars of the city Jail. having been
caught last evening by Officer Long who
captured him at the corner of Spring
and Second streets. He is a mere boy
10 years old, and gave the name of James
Cline, which, however, is an alias.
He is CARRIER Brown, a runaway and
son of DR.. A. e. Brown, a dentist of
Ell Paso, Tex. Some months ago young
Brown left the parental domicile and
went forth into the world to seek his
fortune. He came to Southern Califor-
MIA and secured work with S. Mccoy, a
rancher whose place is about four miles
from Valley Center, in San Diego coun-
ty. For Mccoy he worked about three
months, but ranch life proved too slow
for his young blood and he yearned for
the excitement of the city.
Last Saturday he stole silver watch
and chain and $50 in cash from Mccoy
and made his way to Esconddo. There
he stole bicycle from one of the clerks
in Stevenson's store and, mounting it,
pedaled for Los Angeles. He got as far
as Elsinore where he took the train hav-
ing broken the handlebars of the ma
chine.
Yesterday he appeared at Obenaur's
cyclery out on Pico street and traded
the stolen wheel for new one of small
er frame claiming that his old wheel
was too high and the reach too long for
his legs. During his conversation in the
shop suspicion was aroused and a tele-
phone was sent to police Headquarters
The trade was made, and he was riding
along down town when Officer Long
PICKED him up on telegraphic descrip-
tion from Escondido, in conjunction
with a knowledge of the recent trade
made by him in wheels.
When first taken to the station he de-
MED that anything was wrong, but told
confllcting stories. Finally he broke
down and made full confession, telling
now, when and where he took the bicy-
Gle. watch and money, and asking that
his father be notified Of his dilemma. A
charge of larceny was placed against
him and he will probably be arraigned in
court today
