Down at 129 East First street at 8

ers, resulting disastrously for all con-

At any rate. Lichtenstein was hit over
the head with hammer. and nasty
cash cut in his scalp, necessitating his
adjourning to the receiving hospital
for repairs. Lichstenstein claims that
Goldberg pulled the hammer from his

Goldberg says that Lichtenstein had
an alteration with his partner, Wueg-
MO, and tried to hit him with the ham
mer, but the other was too strong and
pushed him back, and the hammer hit
Lichtenstein in the head and injured
him.
Goldberg also got crack on the skull
with the weapon. but not hard enough
to do any harm. A battery complaint
against Lichtenstein was sworn to by
WueSnio, and counter complaint for
the same offense against Goldberg by
their rival. All hands appeared in court.
and Goldberg had trial of his case set
for today. Lichtenstein demanded
jury trial. and trial of his case had to go
over until August IA. And the merry

COUNTRY RESIDENCE BURNED
The Residence Of A. r. Par5haN at Tropico
Consumed by Flames

The Residence Of A. r. Par5ha!i at Tropico
Consumed by Flames
Fire yesterday morning destroyed the
residence of A. F. Parshall, at Tropico,
with its contents, causing q loss of fully
$1,000, with little or no insurance.
At about a. m. Mr. Parshall, who is
a maker of patent blackboards for
schools, and who has contract to make
boards for the schools of Pasadena, was
engaged in cooking up his composition
on gasoline stove, when an explosion
took place Mr.. Parshall was severely
burned, and the house with all its con-
tents was destroyed. Mrs. Parshall ran
into the burning house to save a small
satchel containing some valuable jew
elry, and while she succeeded in rescu-
ing her effects, she was somewhat
burned.
The house destroyed was the old
Ayers house, on Central avenue about
half mile from where this road leaves
the store at Tropico. Central avenue
runs from Tropico to Glendale atthe foot
Of the mountains.
The owner who has thus lost his home
is a new conner, having purchased the
place recently from Mr.. SHREDDER. Mr..
Ayers sold the place about five years ago,
since which time it has changed hands
no less than nine times.
Mr. Parshall was brought to the coun-
ty hospital and his injuries dressed.
He is painfully burned about the face,
hands, and one Of his limbs, but will
soon be able to be about. His wife is
less seriously singed, and remains out
at TropicO with friends.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
A Negro Horse Breaker Has a Fight With
Dutch Charlie"

Dutch Charlie"
A huge colored man, named T. T.
Thomas, was yesterday afternoon ar
rested by deputy constable on a war
rant sworn out by Dutch Charlie" or
Charles Minehardt, who alleged that
Thomas had assaulted him with intent
to kill and had displayed a knife. The
row occurred in horse corral down on
Also street, near the corner of Lyons,
and the participants are all horse deal
ers or trainers, Thomas being profess
sional breaker
1t seems that Minehardt owes Thomas
the sum of $3.50, and that the latter de-
manded it. Some squabble arose over
the payment and row resulted. In the
melee Minehardt's coat was nearly torn
off his back and he was pretty well
used up. Several other persons jumped
in to help Dutch Charlie" when Thom-
as drew his pocketknife and threatened
to cut any one who touched hinl-his
quarrel was with Minehardt, and he did
not propose to have a gang maui him.
This stopped the fight, and Minedardt
hurried off uptown to swear to the COM
plant. Thomas was brought into
court and his examination set for next
week, he being meanwhile released on
bonds of $4,000.

The sensational Salvini divorce case,

Torrance. sitting for Judge Shaw for the

afternoon, the judge refusing the petit

on the ground of cruelty. which was not
substantiated. The case was tried be-
hind closed doors and much of the testi-
mony was unfit for publication. There
was also considerable perjured testi

The anti-annexationists have lost their
case. On Tuesday the attorneys engaged
to fight the case withdrew on the ground
that the people had failed TO raise the
amount of their fees and in consequence
they did not feel justified in proceeding
further. On this statement Judge York
granted continuance until yesterday,
when the case again came up, and the
defendants not being represented Judge
York ordered the case to proceed. Only
two witnesses were examined OH behalf
of the city, City Clerk Charles NJ. Luck
enbach and Deputy Sheriff c. NJ. Jenkins.
1t was shown that the proceedings were
all regular, so far as election was con-
cerned, and there being no objection
judgment was ordered for the defendant.
This settles the annexation question,
apparently, so far as the people are con-
cerned, and the city will now proceed
along the lines as heretofore taken to-
ward taking the outlying districts under
the municipal wing. AT any rate, moth
ing further can be done in the superior
court, and if any further move is made
it must be through the supreme court.

The Complaint Fatally Defective


The trial of H. o. Gilmore, charged
with forgery, came to an abrupt ending
yesterday morning. Gilmore is the man
who passed $3.50 check on Charles
E. Barnard at the latter's saloon on
Third street, purporting to have been
signed by Easton. Eldridge & Co., the
we'll known real estate company. Gill
more represented to Bernard that he
was contractor, had been doing some
work for the firm, and it being after
banking hours, he had no other way
to get some money to pay some of the
men. The saloon man was accommodate
ing and cashed the check. 1t turned out
to be a forgery. When Police Detective
Bradish arrested Gilmore the latter told
him he had been given the check by
Shattuck, an agent for Easton, Eldridge
&, Co. Mr.. Shattuck was at once hunted
up, and Gilmore was confronted by him.
Shattuck had never given him or any
man such check.
Yesterday morning the trial Of the
case was ordered, against the objec-
tions of the defendants attorney, who
wanted a continuance. The jury was
empaneled, and Deputy District Attor-
ney McComas started in to introduce
testimony, when he discovered that the
information was fatally defective.
The original complaint set forth the
language of the forged check, which was
drawn on the Citizens bank of this city.
The information against Gilmore, which
was drawn up in the district attorneys
office, purported to set out an exact
copy of the check, but by a mistake the
name of the bank was entirely omitted.
Mr.. McComas stated to the court that
he did not draw the Information and had
Just discovered the error; that 1T was
fatal to the proceedings. and he would
not attempt to go to trial under the
circumstances Some proof was intro
duced to establish the variance between
the information and the proof, and the
Jury returned a verdict of not guilty,
in accordance with instructions by Judge
Smith.
Gilmore was remanded to the custody
of the sheriff ,and the district attorney
instructed to draw a new information.
During the afternoon another com
plant was worn to against Gilmore, and
he was arraigned before Justice Morri-
