LOS ANGELES TALE OF WOE.
Pathetic Story of Loyesick Swan, Who
Is Robbed and Tilted BY the Girl
He Azores.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. IA for
lorn and loyesick swain, in the person OF
Leon Marsh of Oakland, unbosomed him.
self tn Chief Glass here to-day, telling a
nitifuI story of how a heartless girl, after
Getting nossession of his valuables and
money. had Tilted him and refused TO re-
store his effects. The fellows lamenta-
tions were very touching. 1t seems to
have been the first rude awakening of his
life in the line of fickleness in a young AID
prepossessing lady. He said:
Il have often read accounts in the
parers of men com itting suicide because
they were disappointed in love, and l
always said they were big fools, but L
came near taking my life last night on
account OF being Tilted by tall and hand
some blonde"
Young Marsh had good position with
DR.. Clark, superintendent of an Oakland
hospital. Being temperate young man
he had saved up quite snug sum and was
looking forward TO q trip to his old home.
About four months ago tall blonde, CIV
ing the name of May Wescott, arrived at
thA hospital. She was very sick woman
and appeared TO be without friends or
money. Leon in passing through one of
the wards one day saw May and was smit-
ten by her charms, and many little del1ca-
cies found their way to Mays room, pur-
chased by Leon money.
Soon after leaving the hospital the girl
promised to marry Marsh, who was the
happiest man in the world. He not only
purchased diamond ring and pin for his
sweetheart but he drew out his three
years earnings from the bank, and three
weeks ago they came to Los Angeles. The
day following their arrival Leon proposed
to get out the marriage license, but May
said, "Oh wait few days. until we look
arouni." And so it continued until now
Marsh has given up all hopes. pronouncing
Nav several kinds of fraud.
my father is a wealthy planter in
Jam aica, and l have coed friends in Oak
land. l have sent for money, which ex-
pect in a day or two but l would like to
see that girl punished before l leave, "

spondent.

Won d last for the remaining act.
After considerable skirmishing about
the building some flour was borrowed
from family living in an adjoining
fat and Dixey hastily improvised
proboscis of dough, painted II with YER
million and tottered out upon the stage
The act had not progressed far before
Dixey became aware that something
was wrong. The audience seemed to
pay no attention to his speeches, but
began to whisper and litter and point
toward him. A minute later the cause
of the trouble became apparent
Dixey's nose was growing. The dough
had been made of "self-rising" flour.
which required only the addition of
water in order to swell into several
times its original size, and, as it was
a hot night, the heat of the footlights
fastened the operation, and soon ex-
panded Dixey's nose into the proper
tons Of an elephants trunk.
And still the wonder grew-and grew
so rapidly, too. that the actor discov-
cred that heroic measures must be
ished. At last, goaded to desperation,
Dixey stepped into the wings, deliber-
ately twisted off his nose and returned
to the stage, with the fragments of
dough still swelling and growing where
that wonderful snout had been. The
roars of the audience completely
eclipsed the remainder of the perform
anee and the curtain was rung down.

CLAIMS REJECTED.

The state board of examiners yester-

adversely:
Senate claim No. IL of Tooele county,
for S415 for one-half the cost of max
ing maps and plats for ,tlle assessor
office for the years 1896 and 1897, for
the reason that the county commission
ers had no authority in law to con-
tract for the making of the maps and
plats, the provisions of the revenue
act having been repealed by implica-
ton by the provisions of the county
government bill, which stands as the
latest expression of the legislative will
which requires said work TO be done
by the county surveyor.
Senate claim No. 20 of Summit county
for $500 for attorneys fees expended
in the collection of poll tax, for the
reason that 1t is net legal charge
against the state.
Senate claim No. of NJ. D. Bar
stow for $140.64, the board allowing the
same for S69.04, and rejecting the re-
mainder of said claim for the following
reasons:
Up to April 1, 1896. the law of 1894
for the payment of court reporters was

allowance whatever for mileage. The
board allowed Mr.. Barstow eight days
per diem at Sc per day. s4S and S21.O4
for transcribing testimony, and re-
jected the items of mileage for the rea-
son that there was no law authorize

New York, March IA remarkable
series of fires, all of mysterious origin,
and all strangely similar in their char
acteristics, spread terror through a
section of the upper east side yester-
day, and led to the general belief that
a daring incendiary was abroad apply
ing his torch, for no other purpose, ap-
parently, than the destruction of hui
man life.
Five fires occurred in three hours,
and all within the district between
Sixty-fifth and Eighty-third streets
and First and Third avenues. All were
in tenement houses and no one could
tell how the blazes started. Four of the
fires, the most important, occurred al
most within a stones throw of each
other, in a thickly populated area, four
blocks long and two blocks wide, and
each was started in the cellar. The
clang of the fire bells and the sight of
engines dashing hither and thither
through the streets naturally created
a panicky feeling among the tenement
house jewellers, who knew not where
the fiend would strike next. The fire
men were exhausted by the arduous
work required from them.
