ON A CONTRACT
A Firm in Difficulty Over the Soldiers
Home Building

The firm that obtained the contract
for building Memorial hail. at the Sol
diers Home, is in financial hot water,
and an appeal has been made to the
courts.
AT the time that the contract was made
c. A. Conant and F. o. Frazier had en-
tered into partnership for the purpose
of carrying on this especial work. Co.
nant was to superntend the work, while
Frazier was to handle the finances and
make provision for the supply of material
as needed The contract was let for
$40 060.60 and the building was to be
completed by December of the presen :
year.
On July 10th Conant began work by
excavating for the foundations of the
building, and the work continued until
August 7th, up to which time material
and labor had been provided valued az
$4,000 to S250O On that date Frazier re-
pented of his bargain, or at least re-
fused to furnish Conant with any more
material or money unless the latter would
assign all of his rights to Ernest BraZee.
who is a business associate of Frazier
Conant now is bringing suit to have
the partnership dissolved and receiver
appointed, and for an accounting. It is
alleged that If the building had been
completed a clear profit of $4,000 could
have been made upon the contract, and
in order that his interests be protected

The Sea Marriage

The rumor that Miss Thompson, the
15-year-old heroine of the elopemen;
from Duarte and marriage on the high
seas, has had her mental equilibrium
upset was not correct, albeit there was
slight basis for the rumor being spread
abroad.
Mrs. Thompson went to San Fernando
to see her daughter, and in the interview
that ensued her feelings so overcamt
her that she had sharp hysterical at
tack, that at the time threatened seri-
Gus results. Later in the evening she
became calmer, and save for the anxiety
and grief she is experiencing by reason
of her daughters marriage, she is again
all right. Her daughter Janet had al
ways been the pet of the family and
being a bright and handsome girl, proved
worthy the affection lavished upon her
But unfortunately she possessed a mos
positive mind, and no one else could d.
her thinking for her Experience at sec
ond hand was not appreciated, and ir
the matter of her marriage she chose
to think and act for herself, despite any
duty that might be owing to her par
ents.

LOS ANGELES HERALD. THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST a. 1897

smelling and reduction works on the
property of the company in Arizona.
Payment, it was agreed, should be made
out of the present issue of bonds,
amounting to $150,O0O less five s1Oo
bonds not in the company's hards.
In consonance with the terms of this
agreement Young looked around and
found o. T. Porter, who undertook to
put up the smelter of the kind ard ca
pacity required, and have it in opera
ton within six NOR tbs. When this offer
was made to the Volcanic Mining COM
pany the directors refused to permit
Porter to proceed with the work, and
therein, it is claimed, repudiated their
agreement with their own agent.
Young claims that under his agree
ment he was to have as commission all
of the bords that might be left after
making payment for the smelling works.
Porter agreed and contracted with
Young to erect these works for bonds
in the par value of 100000. The'to
bond issue was and is s15000o, save five
bonds of the par value of $100 each, ani
which had prior to the agreement been
issued. This being SO, Young claims
that he is entitled to bonds in the par
value of 49,500 and to obtain these he
has now instituted suit, and asks that
the Volcanic company be restrained
from disposng of its bonds in such
amount as will prevent the payment of
the claim

COAL COMPANIES FIGHT
Damages of $4,000 Asked for In
fringing a Trademark

The Crescent Coal company has a
grievance against the Diamond Goa
company, and in the suit filed yesterday
demands $40, 900 as damages alleged to
have been sustained by an Infringement
of its trade mark, for that is really what
the claim amounts to.
In 1886 the Black Diamond Coal com
pany acquired coal bearing lands in New
Mexico, and in its business used black
parallelogram. or diamond, bearing i'll
white letters the title, "Black Diamond
Coal Company" 1t did a large business
in Los Angeles, and permitted this trade
mark to be used wherever the coal was
sold. In January, 1892, the Black Dia-
mcrd company assigned and sold all
its interests to the Crescent Coal COM
pany. Two years later it is claimed
that the Diamond Coal company, with
fraudulent and corrupt motive, used on
its carts and wherever its coal was used
a black diamond having printed upon it
in white letters the words, Diamond
Coal Company" and in so doing made
a colorado imitation of plaintiffs trade
mark The coal of the Crescent COM
pany is alleged to be much superior TO
the other and it's competitor has taken
advantage in the manner indicated to
benefit by the reputation built up al
great expense by the Crescent company
AS damages thus sustained $4,000 is
asked.

Judge Allen yesterday in an opinion
rendered in the suit of Adolph Ramish ct
al. against W. A. Hartwell, the city
treasurer, wherein an application was
made that writ of mandate should issue

or street bond, upon which default in
payment has been made, to proceed to
advertise and sell the lot or land de-
scribed in said bond, in any manner other

so. The matter was continued to permit

AT HIS OLD TRICKS
CHARLES F. BLACKBURN AGAIN
IN TROUBLE
Arrested at Acton Yesterday Morning
But Escaped-Charged With
Misusing the Mails

The grand jury found an indictment
yesterday in the district court charging
Charles F. Blackburn with havins =
placed ir the Redlands postoffice, on
June 10, 1897 a postal card addressed
to II. G. Otis, Los Angeles Times" of
an alleged libelous, scurrilous defam-
atory and threatening character.
1t seems that said Blackburn has di-
verted himself before with the amuse-
ment with which he Is charged by the
grand jury. November "a, 1893, Black
burn was arrested for sending threat
ening and defamatory postal cards to
the editor of the Post Intelligencer at
Seattle. On December 9th Of the
same year the United States grand
jury returned a true bill against MI
Blackburn; his case was tried on Ja'l
uary 10th, 18th and 18th, 1884, he was
found guilty, sentenced to pay fine Of
$500 and costs, and to serve a term Of
one year in the government peniten-
tiary on McNeill's Island, Washington
Since that time Mr.. Blackburn seems
TO have been peaceably following his
profession of mining expert until on
June 10th, It is claimed, he again
evinced his predictions for the postal
card habit. On the return of Postofficc
Inspector Flint from Oregon the last
week in June he took the matter up, and
has been working at getting evidence
ever since.
AT noon yesterday Mr.. Flint telephoc
ed to San Bernardino for further de-
velopments in the case and received
notice that Blackburn had been arrested
at Cotton in the morning, but that he
had escaped from the officers. Thoaa
