A QUIET WEDDING
Domingo Baraudey Brought to Time
by Miss Martinez

Antonia Martinez is quite a giddy little
thing, and she was we'll married yester-
day to Domingo Baraudey She is AZ
years of age, but the incraese of years
dose not always bring increase of sense.
Some time ago Miss Martinez arrived
from old Spain and met the man who is
now her husband. He is native of
France and also mature in years, being
40 years old. His graces and charms of
manner enabled him to ingratiate him
self with the lady of Castilian lineage.
The couple, indeed, were so enamored
with one another that Miss Martinez
found herself in such condition as those
wives delight to be who love their lords"
The situation was interesting but not
altogether to the liking of Baraudey,
for he skipped out. Then his sweetheart
got mad at being deserted in her diff
Guilty and swore out complaint charg-
ing him with seduction under promise of
marriage Baraudey went to San Diego.
and upon his return was arrested in
this city. Yesterday the little difficulty
was compromised by a marriage license
being taken out. Justice Young united
this guileless young couple in the holy
bonds of matrimony, and now they can
settle down to steady housekeeping
without any further qualms of con-
science on the part of the young and
blushing bride.

had his words metaphorically speaking,

had his words metaphorically speaking,
crammed down his own throat.
Then with an ardent pathos that was
very striking, counsel summed up the
motive" testimony. its infamy in detail,
its inherent weakness as a whole. And
by such testimony the prosecution
sought to reach the defendant by pass
ing over and forever blasting the life of
pure woman and her three children.
While counsel spoke it was not only the
ladies in court who were affected, for
while tears fell from their eyes and
Mrs. Brown, defendants sister, sobbed
gently all by herself, there were many
men, including more than one member
of the bar, about whose eyes there was
very suspicious moisture.
This morning Assistant District At
torney Williams will close for the pros
ecution. In his initial effort he made
an exhaustive review of the salient points
in the case and now, doubtless. will
meet the scorching indictment against
some of the witnesses for the people. 1t
will be reconciliation of testimony that
IN some points has been assailed, and
that it will be of interest is assured.

"Near Whole City Full"-By Edward
W. Townsend, author of "Chimmie Fad
den," "a Daughter of the Tenements," etc.
There are certain cities which speak with
a compelling voice to certain writer's; like
Coleridge's Ancient Mariner" they seem
to select the man who must write them,
and lay their spell upon him; thus Stend-
hal is impelled to tell of Florence, Coppee
of Paris, Dickens of London.
New York has made similar demand
upon Mr.. Townsend in his collection of
stories. Near a Whole City Full" The
scenery and characters are in and around
Manhattan island, the universal human
nature is studied in it's New York manifes-
tations, and many dramatically charac-
teristic phases of New York life, tenden-
cies strangely neglected by other writers
on New York's hooks and corners, are
made by Mr.. Townsend the subject of vivid
and haunting pictures.

Nankivell. Beautifully printed on coated
paper and attractively bound in cloth, .25

STOLE A BUGGY
Two Youths Being Examined Who
Rode to Whittier

Some little time ago j. w. Annoy, who
resides on Alpine street, left his horse
and buggy standing close to the curb on
Also street while he transacted some
little business. While his back was
turned two youths named Carl Dively
and Albert Manly jumped in the buggy
and drove off. That was the last heard
of it for the time being.
Later it developed that the buggy
thieves had driven out to the Whittier
Reform school, their own old habitat
and created such annoyance by driving
around the school that the authorities
there had them arrested for disturb
ing the peace. Once in the hands of the
law they were held for the more i'm
portant charge, and were brought be-
fore Justice Young yesterday for exam
ination. The prosecution put in its
proof and the deferSe will conclude
it's side of the case this morning.

THAT NEW INDUSTRY
Of Robbing Cinnamon to Be Investi-
gated by Jury

Henry Henshaw and Frank Graham
were brought to trial yesterday in De-
partmert two before Judge Clark and a
jury on the charge of robbery The two
defendants are alleged to have been
among the first of those ingenious inoii
viduals who inaugurated new INDUSTRY,
viz, holding up Chinese camps. 1t is
claimed that on July II Henshaw and
Graham and a third man not arrested
drove up to camp near AZusa, and
while one of the trio remained with the
buggy the other two entered with
masks over their faces and at the point
of the pistol made Duck Sing, the pro-
prietor of the vegetable garden, sur
render 500. silver watch and revol-
yer. They then retired and drove rap
idly away.
Some time afterward suspicious cir
cumstances pointed to the defendants as
being implicated in the offense and they
were arrested at Azusa.
Most of the afternoon was taken up
in obtaining jury and the further hear
ing will be continued today.

NOW He WILL HAVE TO TELL
ABOUT THAT QUEER DRAGON
DRUG STORE DEAL
Attorney Still Arguing in the NC
Camish Case-Da1nages Asked
From Grocer

The creditors Of H. Germain, the le-
wanting druggist, are evidently going to
have something out of the estate, ana
with that end in view yesterday filed
their petition making him an in
solvent debtor. The claims set forth in
the petition were: F. w. Braun & Co.,
1887; Godfrey & Moore, 81 cents; Times
Mirror Co., 40 cents; w. B. Merriam, 81
Mrs. R. Scheerer- orchard, $S62S.5O, the
amounts aggregating $5462.4S.
1t is set forth in the petition that the
1neolvent has hidden himself for the
purpose of evading service, and that be-
fore he left he made assignment of his
business TO w. E. De Groot fraudulent
ly and for the purpose of defrauding his
creditors. So soon asthe court confirms
the selection Of the creditors IS assignee,
Mr.. De Groot will have the opportunity
afforded him of showing just what his
interest in the drug store is and how he
came to figure as preferred creditor.
Possibly De Groot may feel somewhat
disgrunt tied over the new turn of affairs,
but the case is not one that can be turn
ed aside by the mere election OF an un-
dersized reporter from his majestic
presence and threats of what he will
do should anyone seek to ascertain the
inner workings of an alleged fraudulent
transaction. What with the bills which
will roll in on De Groot from the galaxy
of legal talent retained by him to
defend the battery charge, the bail
money he now has out unfortunately
drawing no interest, and the prospective
legal complications in store over his
transactions in physic, life is not such a
bed Of roses as it was week or more
ago.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that
Attorneys Meserve and Ling yesterday
made most emphatic denial that they
had been retained by De Groot to assist
in his defense on the battery charge, and
further state that the use of their names
by j. Mary Ann Brooks was entirely
without authority. From present ap-
pearances the De Groot transactions
promise to furnish plenty of reading
matter for some time, before the affair
Is finally and fully ventilated.

STILL ARGUING
Attorneys in the McCamish Case At
tack the Prosecuting Witnesses

The entire day yesterday was occu-

in argument. Attorney Rush for the
defense made a telling ADDRESS, scatb-
ingly arraignipg the witnesses for the
prosecution, tho were characterized as
all kinds of falsifiers, etc. The evidence
OF each witness who had testified in any
manner with regard to the alleged in
tiinacy between the defendant and Mrs
Pyle, he claimed, was bald, uncertain
and unimportant in any case-save
Madisons statement-and counsel
asked what kind of prurient hearts these
men could have that they injected into
such simple words and actions foul
ness that could only be reflection Of
their own base minds. AS for Mad;-
sons statement, no particular time was
wasted upon it, but in short, pthy SEN
tences the Jail bird with a conscience"

A CRIPPLED CHILD
Damages Asked From Rice Brothers
for a Negligent Sale

disposed of in Department three than
another has taken its place. The suit
Of William West against Rice Bros,
the grocery dealers, is to recover $5177 Is
for injuries resulting from a negligent
sale alleged TO have been made by the

made by Rice Bros. of the five gallons
of kerosene it was poured into the kero-
Sene can.

gasoline that was poured into the kero-
sene can. When Mrs. West lii the par
lor lamp that evening the volatile gas
that was generated speedily enveloped
the lamp in flames. The table cover
ignited and to prevent the destruction of
the house plaintiff seized the lamp and
carried it outside and threw it into the
yard. In the act of throwing the lamp
exploded and then the damage COM
planned of took place.
When tine lamp first burst into flames
little Ethel West, the -year-old child
OF plaintiff, ran out of the house over
come by fright At the instant her
father threw out the flaming lamp the
child happened, at the moment of its
exploding, to be almost Underneath. A
portion of the gasoline poured over the
little one and burned off the rim of her
left ear, injured the right arm and Grip
pied the child, as it is claimed, for life
AS guardian of the child plaintiff de-
mands $4,000 as damages and also $177.1j
for medical expenses incurred. The
plaintiff is being represented by NJ
K. Y YouHg while the defendant is rep
resented by H. S. Rollins and Horace

mony will begin this morning.
