tried for disturbing the peace next Thurs
day morning at 10 o'clock. Justice Rossiter
will pay no heed to the paper handed in
by Attorney Harmon and bearing re-
quest for dismissal from Haskins father.
Haskin has filed papers dismssing Attor-
ney Harmon and substituting Messrs.
Hester & Ladds of Los Angeles to defend
him. The elder Haskin was in the city
today and expressed deep regret for his
sons conduct. He thinks him better off
in jail than anywhere else at present, and
sent him some money, stipulating that it
was not to be spent for whisky. Whisky
