RIVERSIDE, July 31.-If somebody does
not weaken between now and August IL,
there is going to be trouble for District
Attorney Gill when the supervisors meet.
1t is reported on good authority that he
is to- be removed from office "for cause"
The immediate cause of the trouble is said
to be an alteration that took place at a
recent inquest held at the county hospital
between the superintendent of that insti-
tuition and the district attorney The for
mer thought the inquest was unnecessary,
but the attorney thought otherwise, and
a ward of words, and some say blows,
ensued. 1t is said the district attorney
has had troubles before this, nd it seems
the supervisors think they are largely of
his own making. At any rate, they are
NOW in the mind to remove him from Of
flee and put in his place w. ]. Mcintyre,
Esq, who led the nOn-partisan fight in
the campaign three years ago, which re-
suited in the election of the present board
of supervisors. Mr.. Gill was also an ac-
tive and efficient worker on the non-par-
tisan side in that campaign, SO there can
be no politics in the proposed change.
Mr.. Gill says that the supervisors are mis-
informed as to incidents and matters and
that he will defend himself successfully.

BAD BLOOD IN LORD BEREsFoRD
Georgia Authorities Find the Impos-
tor Returned to His Old Ways

zone of the most remarkable cases on
| record, l believe, is that of Lord Beres-
ford, in Georgia. said Judge j. Y. Cox,
well known member of the Atlanta
bar, who is in the city for few days,
stopping al the Normandie. This man,
Lord Beresford, came to Georgia some
years ago and made big play of being
a nobleman. l believe he is connected
in some very far distant manner to one
of the younger sons of an English fam
lily. Well, at any rate. he was no Lord
Beresford at ALL but simply a man
named Sidney Lascelles. He started
on his career by passing numerous
forged checks He was mixed up in other
short tricks, and it did not take long for
him to land behind the Jail bars. He
was put in the penitentiary, and there
served his sentence.
"In the meantime he wrote a queer
book, calling it a history of his life. In
it he told a remarkable story of i'll
treatment by his family. The truth
of the story has never been discovered.
When the man was released he de-
clared that he would lead an honest and
upright life. Being a smooth talker
and dressing stylishly, he soon won his
way into the hearts of some capitalists $
interested in the new town of the wire
grass region known as Fitzgerald. He
blossomed forth there as a moneyed
man, secured contracts for electric
lighting the town, and his past was
soon forgotten. A handsome woman
happened to be in the place. She was
from Nashville, I believe, and of good
family. She met Lascelles, fell in love
with him. and the two were married
against the protests of the lady's par
ents. She was wealthy. and, having a
life of luxury before him, the pseudo .
Lord Bereeford dropped his work in
Fitzgerald. He and his bride left for
parts unknown. No sooner had he
left than 1t was discovered that he was
short in his accounts with many people
and had been up to his old tricks.
"Now the Georgia authorities are
looking for him everywhere. If he is
caught he will be brought back and

Early in the week Uvieda appeared at the
county clerks's office and requested Dep
uty C. A. Hunt to give him a marriage
license for himself, aged S2 and Manuela
Domnguez, aged IA, both natives of Cali
fornia and residents of Montecito. Mrs.
Feliciano Dominguez, the mother of the
girl, accompanied Uveida and consented
and requested the issuance of the license.
The deputy, however, refused to comply,
and informed the mother that her con-
sent would not avail in view of the fact
that the girl is under Is years of age. In
truth the girl is not quite 13 years old.
The girls father, Feliciano Dominguez, was
at first opposed to the proposed union, but
his wife at length drew from him re-
luctant sanction. After being turned
