The story of the killing of Jack Bow

told in Department one, while develop
Ing no facts that are absolutely new is
proving quite an attraction for the spec

Ballona.
The night before the shooting Crandall
and Bowman had a quarrel over board
bill, and Crandall, with the Frowiss wo-
man. left in a huff.
The next day Craudall came back to
get some of his property and the Frow-
lss woman's, which had been left be-
hind. He gathered up some of the stuff,
with his hands in his hip pockets.
He said something to the effect that
no Indian could get the best of him. and
he inquired where Bowman was. Being
told that he was on the beach, he left
the house. Afterward witness saw him
and Bowman walking slowly up the
beach together

THE SCHOOL SCANDAL
The Accusation Against Webb Will
Come Up This Morning

The district attorney filed in Depart
ment one yesterday the accusations
brought by the grand jury against
Walter L. Webb and Joseph +. Adams
and the matter will come up in court this
morning.
The accusation against Adams will, in
all probability. be dismissed. as he has
resigned his Office as school director
The citation served upon Webb runs as
follows:
ITO Walter L. Webb: You are hereby
required to appear in the superior court
Of the State of California in Depart
ment one of said court, at the hour OF
10 a. M, on the 21st day Of December,
1897, then and there to make answer to
the accusation presented by the grand
jury of said county on the Sth day Of
D-cen1h-r. 1897. cccrsir- WOW of willfI''
and corrupt misconduct in office: and
you are further notified that if you fail
to appear at saiG time in said court ans.
make answer to said accusation that
judgment of conviction and for your re-
moval from office will be entered against
you by the court.
u. A. DONNELL,
District Attorney"
This accusation is in the nature Of
civil suit to remove Webb from office,
and Is distinct from the criminal indict-
ment recently thrown out Of court on
a demurrer. Nevertheless, Judge Smith
a few days ago decided that to some ex-
tent it is a criminal suit. and refused
to restrain the city council from sus-
pending Webb from office.
