THAT MEXICAN TRIP
The Pittsburg Oil Man Again Arrested but
Again Released

Again Released
]. A. Dubbs, the Pittsburg oil ope-
rator, who had such an unpleasant ex-
perience with Mexican rurales and was
carried on a laborious journey for eight
days to Ensenada before being released,
and then only after putting up $500 ball.
seems destined to pay dearly for his bus
mess jaunt across the Mexican border.
1t has already been told at length by
The Herald how Mr.. Dubbs was arrest
ed couple of days ago at the Van Nuys
hotel by Sheriff Burr on telegraphic in
structions from Sheriff Greenleaf of
Yuma county. He was at that time re-
leased by Judge Allen on writ Of habeas
corpus, and the merits of the case were
not gone into beyond the mere showing
that Mr.. Dubbs was held merely on a tel
egram and without any legal warrant.
On Thursday Mr.. Dubbs started east,
and at San Bernardino was again ar
rested and brought back to this city.
Yesterday Sheriff Burr swore to a COM
plant in the township court wherein it
is alleged that the defendant is "a fugi-
tive from justice" and was about to
leave the state, asking that he be held
to answer the charge of grand larceny in
having 'unlawfully, feloniously." etc,
made away with two horses belonging
to j. M. Speese, valued at $50. Mr..
Dubbs Immediately put up the necessary
bond of $500. Lyman Stewart. capitalist,
and Chas. Mcfarland. attorney, quail
flying in the full amount.
The liveryman at Yuma seems to think
he has a dead 'cinch" on the situation.
and demands $3.50 for the outfit which
Mr.. Dubbs was using when he was cap
tured by the Mexican rurales. 1t is safe
to say there are few outfits sent out from
any livery stable that are worth that
amount. Mr.. Dubbs has offered Speese
$500 but the latter has refused to accept
and now the matter is to be contested
in court.

DORA GREENS TROUBLE
A Mass of Damaging Testimony by the De.

Quite sensational hour was given
yesterday to the case in the township
court wherein Charles Maxim, accused
by Miss Dora Green of rape. is under ex-

Usually at the preliminary stage the
defense reserves its evidence, but in this

Premises-An Odd VIII Offered
for Probate - Court
Notes

The suit of Emma H. Woodham
against w. S. Allen, the furniture deal
er. to recover 5000 and costs petered
out most curiously yesterday in depart
ment three, before Judge York.
The story is rather old one, but is
not lacking in interest on that account
1t appeared that on August 10, 1895, the
defendant had Henry 7. Newman, an
employe of the furniture store, arrest
ed on a complaint sworn to before JUS
tice Young. The charge preferred was
that of grand larceny, it being alleged
that Newman had taken away furniture
worth S203. About the same time an
accusation was levcled against w. H.
Woodham, who kept furniture store
on Main street, charging him with hav-
ing acted with Newman as a confeder-
ate, and received from him the goods
after they had been stolen. Allen claim
ed $40O from Woodham as being the val
ue of the goods stolen, under pain and
penalty Of being arrested as accessory
to Newman's crime. 1t was also inti-
mated, SO 1t was claimed, that Allen
threatened to attach Woodlands store.
which in reality belonged to his wife
in her own right, if he did not pay the
sum demanded.
Under these circumstances and filled
with the fear of the disgrace which
would accrue if her husband should be
arrested, Mrs. Woodham paid over the
$400 demanded And this, too, albeit
that her husband strenuously denied
having acted other than in a business
manner with Newman, having paid him
$130 for the goods purcha Sed and which
he claimed was the full value.
With regard to Newman himself, he
got out of his share of the difficulty by
Mrs. D. E. Waterhouse paying to Allen
$500 on condition that the three charges
preferred should be dismissed. Mrs.
Woodham, in the suit ended yesterday,
contended that at that time there was
no money due to Allen, as she herself
had paid $400 and Furthermore that AL
len had no legal power to dismiss the
charges against Newman, and that in so
doing he had been guilty of fraud. In
March, 1896, Mrs. Waterhouse assigned
to Mrs. Woodham her right and title
to the $500, and so the latter made 1t the
basis of a second cause of action.
After some testimony had been taken
yesterday Judge York made a ruling
that resulted in a termination-tempo
rarily at all vents-of the suit He held
that in order to prove that Allen had
practised extortion upon Mrs. Wood
ham or Mrs Waterhouse, or both, it
would be necessary to prove that New
man was innocent of the charge prefer
red against him, otherwise it would not
OF necessity be eXtortion. The plaintiff
in the case was put in the uncomforta-
BILE position of being forced to tread
upon ground where the question of COM
pounding a felony might be raised.
Counsel for the plaintiff moved for a
non-suit, and the same being granted,
the case was dismissed without preju-
dice

YELLOWSTONE DAY AT BOHEMIA
A Notable Event In the History Of the Popu.
lar Resort

A Notable Event In the History Of the Popu.
Raj King Of the popular Bohemia, on
South Spring street. has just received
the largest consignment of the cele-
brated Yellowstone whisky ever made
to a retail dealer on the coast. The
shipment was made in bulk direct from
the Taylor & Williams distillery in Ken
lucky. Yellowstone whisky has ma
tional reputation, and Mr.. King is to be
congratulated upon the fact that he has
a trade which justifies him in buying
in quantities which enables him to buy at
first hands. Mr.. King will bottle this
whisky over his own name, 80 that his
customers may rest assured that they
are getting the genuine article. Mr..
King celebrated his business stroke by
distributing several hundred neat little
sample packages of Yellowstone among
his customers and friends.
And in this connection word about
Bohemia is not out of place. Under the
management of Mr. King it has become
the most popular resort in Southern
California. Everything about the place
is first-class. The service is excellent
and the accommodations are unsurpass-
ed, while the constantly increasing pop
ularity attests the popularity of the gen.
ial proprietor. Mr.. King merits the sue

what had occurred, she owend up, and in
response to pressure upon his part also
acknowledged having tripped with an
other young fellow named Jen White.
One w. Haskins, who had boarded with
Dora's sister, was given the credit by
witness of having accomplished Dora's
ruin in the first instance, and vast
amount of brazen and salacious gossip
by Dora and her mother was given by
witness in minute detail.
When the Maxim difficulty developed
the Greens invited witness to come to
the house and talk it over, and on four
different occasions he went down there.
According to his statement they con-
spired to get Maxim to marry Dora,
and witness remained and talked 1t over
without demur until the time was ripe
for him to divulge what he had heard
upon the witness stand.
Assistant District Attorney Williams
kept Officer Long under -examina-
tion the entire afternoon, without, how
ever, securing other than an amplifica-
tion of the details given in direct exam
ination.

AN ODD WILL
Made Upon the Back of q Blank Bank
Check

A short and somewhat curious doc
ument was offered for probate in depart
ment two yesterday, as the last will and
testament of Cornelius P. Crimmins who
prior to his DEATH carried on a grocery
store on Main street. This pithy docu-
ment read as follows:
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10, 1892.
II bequeath to John Crimmins all my
personal and real property, including lot
q, Abbot Kinney tract; and that he can
take same without any order from the
court.
CORNELIUS p. CRIMMINS"
This will was written on the back of one
of the blanks of the Donahoe, Kelley &
Co.'s bank at San Francisco. without be-
ing witnessed. There was no doubt
or dispute as to the signature, but the
matter was continued to allow the
brother of the deceased, who had ap-
piled for probate of the will, to offer
some corroborative evidence regarding
the body of the document.
At the time the will was made Mr..
Crimmins was hale and hearty, but in
February of the following year 1888 he
was committed to the insane asylum as
incompetent, and recently died. When
the time arrives for the curiosities of
wills to be exploited that above men,

not been an irrigating ditch al the point
of break. and consequently the conten-
