Thy voice is like the nightingale's

She sings her sweetest songs TO me
But who shall say the same OF thee!

Which in the hour of dawn Is wept'

While the whole wor In peace hath Slept

A WATCH RECOVERED
Con Mallory Made q Quick Seizure
Yesterday

Mrs. Annie Leach is quite a comely
woman, but is lacking in judgment, ap-
parently. About nine months ago che
loaned handsome gold watch to male
friend named Green, who, on one prom
Use or another, never returned it.
The other day while passing along
Main street it seemed like greeting an
old friend to see a watch she believed
to be hers in the window of Morris
pawnEhop, close to First street. She
couldn't get it, however, to make ex-
animation, SO she told her story in the
district attorneys Office, and DetAtive
Con Mallory was detailed to see what
could be done. He found out from Mrs.
Leach that some time about the end of
1895 Conradi, the jeweler, had repaired
the watch. and, going to Conradre es-
tablishment, Mr.. Mallory discovered
that, sure enough, in February 1896. Mrs.
Leach's watch had been repaired. The
jeweler gave the detective the secret of
his private mark placed upon all work
done in the place, and thus armed NAL
lory went to the pawnshop. Mr.. Morris

THE LUNACY LAW
Its Operation Begins With Rather a
Funny Tangle

| The business Of examining insanity
patients has been carried on for some
days on the go-as-you please plan. In
the first place only six of the eighteen
doctors who. have received commits
sions from the state board have seen
fit to register them with the county
clerk. and until they do SO will not be
eligible as examiners.
A rather funny little tangle has re-
Gently developed, too, in the matter of
actual examination of patients. There
has been such a radical change in the
plan of commitment of insane patients
that six of the complaints sworn out
got into the hands Of the medical ex-
aminers thu ough some other channel
than the county clerks Office. In fact.
the county clerk did not even know that
the examiners had been summoned, for
that duty now devclves upon the county
clerk. and no telephone had been sent
out of that office. Be that as it may,
Drs. Cochrane and Orme managed to
lay hands on six complaints, and ex-
amined the batch in short order, and
in so doing netted just $50 apiece. In
the shuttle somehow some of the COM
plants got lost, and Deputy Kutz had
" IIldhe Out uupllt-dttS CtEliillt-
nents ceuld be made. The names Of
the eighteen examiners who are quail
fled to act are entered up in alpha beticsl
order and the court ordered that they
be summoned in turn. But Drs. Coch-
rane and Orme, by swapping that first
batch Of patients broke the alphabetical.
rule and object to their names being
skipped. when they are reached on the
ground that the seriatim rule did nor
go into effect until yesterday, and tt ~
mad the good fortune to earn that $50
on Friday. Failing any order to the
contrary. however, the names of both
gentlemen will be skipped until things
are evened UP by all the other examin-
ers having examined the same number
IF patients.
esterday Laura Nichols, aged 35
years, was ordered sent to the county
hospital for one week by Judge Van
Dyke. ]. N. Jackson, aged 43, suffering
from the hallucination that he had i'm

THE RUIZ BROTHERS
Run to Earth for Stealing Calves by
Deputy Al White

Further information is to hand re-
garding the three Ruiz brothers,
charged with cattle stealing. They were
arraigned before Justice Young yester-
day, charged ith having stolen five
calves. valued at $50, from John Wolf
skill, on May 7th. Their examination
was set for the oath inst, and each one
was held in $500 bail.
The Wolfskill ranch, near the Sol
diers' Home, comprises about 5000 acres
and for some time calves have been
missing. Some days ago Julius Hauser,
the butcher happened in a the butcher
store at Seventh street and Union ave-
nue., ard while there noticed some calf
hides bearing the Wolfskill 1896 brand.
The proprietor of the place said he
bought the live animals from some Mex
leans, and he described them. Hauser
went to Wolfskill and asked him if he
had been selling some calves and then
it came about that suspicion fastened
on the Ruiz boys. Their father. who
bears a good reputa tion, used to herd on
the Wolfskill ranch, and as conee-
quence the boys knew every nook and
Granny on the pasture.
On Thursday night J. Barnhill and AL
White. deputy sheriffs, laid out in the
Wolfskill pasture all night on the sup
position that the thieves might come
again and get few calves for the
Saturday maraket. But they didn't. On
Friday Deputies White and Woodward
went out to where the Ruiz family lives,
in the bottom land at Pico Heights, and
found only one boy at home. Some time
later another one dropped in and then
both were arrested. The third was cap
tured in the pool room in Chinatown.

OLD SOLDIER STARK
Examined for the Murder of Hudson
and DISCHARGED

Jesse Miller Stark was brought be-
fore Justice Young yesterday in the
township court for examination on the
charge of having on May eth murdered
Orrin L. Hudson, at the Soldiers Home
The defendant, like the man he is ac-
cused Of killing, was an inmate Of the
home, and Stark, according to the testi-
inony given yesterday, was generally
regarded as being. in q harmless sort
Of way, crazy. Both of the men wera
quite advanced in years and rather fee
bic, and it was shown that the defend
ant went up TO the deceased and en-
gagged him in conversation. The de-
ceased, however, became angered, and
ordered Stark away, and, the latter
showing no immediate disposition to GO
showed or hit him twice. Hudson retail
lated by striking at the deceased. who
slipped and fell to the ground, and in so
doing sustained the injury to his head
that resulted in his death.
The evidence did not in any way tend
to show that Stark intended any harm
to the old man Hudson, whose death
was in large measure accidental. Up
on hearing this showing the defendant
was discharged
He was not released from custody
however. for an insanity complaint was
at once sworn out and Drs Ainsworth
and Boynton examined Stark, and GER
titled to his unsound mental condition.
He was brought before Judge York
who asked him if he had anything to
say as to why he should not be sent
to Highland. The old man said mo-"
he knew, he said. that for some time his
mind had not been just right. for he
couldn't remember things. The COM
mitment was thereupon made out.

across It for street purposes II was
claimed that Earl had been damaged
$1,000. and the damage never having
been assessed the demand for damages
had been assigned to the piaintiff, who
filed his clainirin July, 1896, with the city
council and had It rejected.
1t appears that Earl succeeded to the
title OF the lot In question as the heir
of Mary Martin, deceased; that her es-
tate was administered by the public ad.
ministrator and while the estate was in
process OF administration the city took
proceedings to open CASTELAR, street and
awarded to the owner of the lot In ques-
ton $500 for the right of way. being the
strip used by the city for the street. The
money was paid to the public admins
traitor and he executed a deed for the
right of way. On the settlement of the
final account Of the administrator it de-
veloped that In addition to the $500 re-
ceived from the city 1t required the fur
ther sum of $50 to pay OFF the expenses
Of administration, in order to close the
estate. No exception was taken to the
account and the heir at law proposed to
pay to the administrator the $50 before
the decree should be recorded. The
plaintiff was the attorney of Earl, who
was heir at law, and represented him In
The settlement OF the estate, and Earl did
advance the 800 required. Had not the
money received from the city been used
by the administrator to pay the debts
and expenees Of administration, the heir
would have had to pay $40 in order to
save his property from sale in closing the
estate.
On this showing the court holds that
the money paid by the city was received
by Earl, just as though 1t had been paid
into his hands The lot was valued at
from 81, 200 to 81, 500, and the damage was
at most not more than one-half Of the
value, and a fair average Of the testi-
mony put 1t at much less.

Crews, Who Fired the Palomares

A number of witnesses from Pomona
testified as to the condition of the de-
fendant and but one could say that
Crews had ever manifested any symp-
toms of insanity before going upon the
drunken spree, the ultimate result of
which was the preparation Of the crime
for wh.ch he is now under arrest. Most
of the witnesses had known Crews for
several years, and while somewhat pe-
culiar in his manner, it was only while
under the influence Of liquor that he
acted in crazy manner.

years." remarked Constable Gilbert.
