AN UNFORTUNATE GIRL
CASE AGAINST BLANCHE CUM
MINGS DISPOSED OF
James Welch Recently Tried for Rape
Wants to Marry Her-Peculiar
Family Relations

Blanche Cummings, charged with
petty larceny, was before Justice Nor
rison yesterday afternoon, and the case
was at least temporarily disposed of by
sending the girl to the home provided by
the Kings Daughters on Fourteenth
street.
Before the case was called in court an
effort was made by Banche's step
mother to have the girl married to James
WEIGH. The latter has just been re-
leased from Jail at San Bernardino. He
was arrested several months ago, when
Blanche and another girl of about her
own age and two boys, ONE of whom was
Welch, were found living in a
gunnysack tent in canyon
near Azusa. At that time the girl was
said to be only 13 years old, and Welch,
who is % years Of age, was charged with
rape. He lay in Jail at San Bernardlno
several weeks, and only recently had his
trial. The jury disagreed, and the
judge dismissed the case. Welch was
released from Jail last Monday and i'm
mediately came to this city, where he
found Blanche in trouble.
He communicated with the girls step
mother, stating that he was willing to
marry Blanche if by that means he
could prevent her from being sent to
Whittier. The step-mother was will
Ing, and yesterday morning appeared at
the county clerks office with Welch to
ask for marriage license. When asked
the age Of her daughter she stated that
her child was about 13 years old. She
was Immediately told that If this were
true, under no circumstances could a
license be issued to one so young.
Nothing daunted, Welch left the court
house and went to the city hall, where
he looked up the date of Blanche
Cummings birth in the records. He
found that she was Is years of age in
stead of 13. Then he again appeared
at the clerks office, and, showing the
girls age by the record, repeated his re-
quest for the license. This time he was
successful. He then went to Justice
Morrison's court and asked to have the
charge of petty larceny against Blanche
dismissed, In order that he might marry
her. Justice Morrison thought over
the matter awhile and stated that he
believed the girl was too young to make
a good wife, and refused to allow the
marriage to go on. He said that Blanche
would be turned over to the Kings
Daughters for few weeks, and then IL
she shows a real disposition to reform,
probably things can be adjusted to the
entire satisfaction of all parties.
Blanche Cummings. yourg as she is,
has tasted a great deal of the bitter in
this life. An inventory of the mem
hers OF her family speaks Volumes The
girl has both father and mother living
apart, a step-father and step-mother
separated, one brother, two sisters, one
step-sister, two step-brothers, one half
sister and half-brother The girl now
lives with her step-mother. In order to
accomplish these changes she first re-
manned with her step-mother after the
separation of her parents, the mother
remarked. and another separation took
place, this time the girl staying with her
step-father. He also remarked and
separated again, and then the girl fell
to her step-mother.

A FURRY IN FEED
Contractor Joyce Wants to Know Why
His Rolled Barley Is Ignored

The manner in which the feed for
the horses of the fire department has
been purchased will probably be investi-
gated by the city council as the result Of
communication filed yesterday in. the
Office Of the city clerk by w. H. Joyce.
He was for the past year the contractor
for the furnishing Of feed, and is again
endeavoring to secure the contract for
the next year. In his communication
he recites the fact that he has had this
contract, and according TO the terms of
it he was to furnish barley at rs cents per
hundred pounds, and bran at 80 cents
When in September, 1896, he furnished
the amount of barley needed he was in
formed that he must furnish rolled bar
ley. which he did, 1t being agreed be-
tween him and the fire commissioners
that the price Of the rolled barley was to
be 10 cents additional. His demands
for this additional cost were duly ap-
proved
In May he states that the supply was
ordered from the Electric Feed mills.
and that when he went to Chief Moore
and asked why the contract had been
violated he was informed that 1t was the
result Of mistake. He got the order
for June and filled 1t, but since that time
for the months of July, August and Sep
tember the feed has been ordered from
other persons in spite of the contract
He demanded of Chief Moore and As
sistant Chief Smith the reason for this,
but was told that neither of them had
placed the order. He therefore appeals
to the council for an investigation, and
enters a demand for s46.40 for loss Of
profits, that being fifteen per cent Of the
average business for the four months.
He also asserts that the city has paid
more for rolled barley furnished since
June than his contract called for.
Assistant Chief Smith was seen at his
office after the filing Of the communica-
ton and asked as to the charges made
by Mr.. Joyce. He said: ut Is true that
we have been buying feed of other per-
sons than Mr.. Joyce during the past
several months His contract says
nothing about rolled barley. and the ar
rangement by which he furnished It for
a time was merely through the approval
of the board OF fire commissioners. We
use no whole barley, and that only is
mentioned In the contract. Westhere-
fore, felt free to purchase rolled barley
