ROSE SAT ON HIM
JAMES BORDEN'S BRIEF EN-
JOYMENT OF LIBERTY
Breaks Away From an Officer at the
Jail Door, But Is Quickly
Recaptured

About o'clock yesterday morning a
prisoner, who was being conducted by
Deputy Constable Raynor of Azusa to
the county Jail to serve misdemeanor
sentence, made a dash for liberty just
before he reached the Jail door. He
darted around the court house to Broad
way and thence to Temple street. The
officer gave chase and, seeing that there
was little chance to overtake the fugi-
tive, he discharged his revolver in the
air in the hope of bringing him to a
stop, but the shot failed to have the de-
sired effect. A cry of "stop thief" was
raised, and quite crowd started in
pursuit of the escaping prisoner.
Just as the fellow rounded the corner
of Temple and Broadway, George Rose,
who keeps cigar stand at 312 Temple
street, ran out. When the runaway
came along, putting loudly, Rose dealt
him a blow which felled him to the
ground like a log. Rose then sat down
upon the fellows stomach until Jailer
Kennedy, who had Joined in the chase,
came up. The man was taken to the
county Jail, where he registered as
James Borden. He will serve ten days
for q miSdemeanOr

mercial street. In order to make sure
he inquired to see the register in the
houne. and was told that none was kept.
The landlord denied that the couple
which the officer described was stop
ping there, but later they were found
In one Of the rooms. Darling denied his
identity, and stated that his name was
Williams. He was placed under arrest
and taken to the police station.
The girl was turned over to Matron
Gray. She gave way in flood of tears
when she realized into what depth of
disgrace she had fallen. She said that
Darling had seduced her from her home
under promise Of marriage, and that she
did not realize how he had deceived her
until she heard him lie about his name
and had seen him arrested. She did not
realize the character of the house in
which she had been stopping, which is
classed as one of the lowest dives in the
city.
She said that last Sunday a week ago
Darling declared that he loved her and
begged her to elope with him, as he knew
that her mother would never consent to
Eva's marriage on account Of her youth.
She refused to elope, although she con-
fessed to Darling that she loved him.
Thursday, when he took her out riding,
he again broached the proposal and
pressed 1t with such earnestness that
she yielded. He said that he had al
ready secured marriage license, and
they would have the ceremony per-
formed as soon as they reached this
city. When they arrived Darling made
some excuse for delaying the marriage,
but when pressed for reason said that
he could not get any one to perform
the ceremony on account Of the girls
tender years.
He promised, however, to go to San
Pedro and have a sea captain marry
them on the high seas. When the officer
found them and the girl heard her para
mour lie about his name, she realized
how basely she had been deceived. She
was thoroughly repentant and asked to
be taken back to her mother.

Theosophical Lecture

H. A. Gibson lectured to a large audi
ence at Blavatsky hall last evening on
the subject of Man as Force" He
said in part:
Man is an organism through which
all natures forces are manifest in DIFF
ferent proportions. The conceited man
Is one through whom that particular
quality preponderates. In any one else
this might be lacking, but some other
tendency or disproportion would prob
ably be evident. When one has learned
to judge himself from an impersonal
standpoint and see these excrescences
he will gradually begin to harmonize
his nature and thus become complete
ruler Of his whole being. All faults in
a man are but slight departures from
the even balance which will eventually
rule his life. These qualities are pres
ent In ALL We must not condemn, but
simply learn our lesson from the exam
pies before us, and thus coordinate the
cosmic forces which are, every one, pres
ent and necessary in our evolution.

way realised his expectations in enter
ing the senate. and 1t II not from any

may possibly, retire.
He is q poor man and cannot afford
to earn salary Of $4,000 a year and spend
at least $4,000 to keep up his estab ablish-
ment in this city and Washington.
Members Of the bar say that Senator
whites law practice is easily worth $780,
900 to $4,000 q year when he can give it
his entire attention. Therefore every
year he serves in the senate is loss to
him and to his family which he can
Ill afford. This is the reason why he
Is hesitating about taking second term.
A telegram received last evening by
President Nathan Cole Of the Silver Re-
publican club conveys the information
that Senators Pettigrew and Dubois will
not find 1t possible to visit this city on
their way home from Hawaii. as they
mad anticipated. Shortly before their
departure for Honolulu they wrote to
the Silver Republican club, In response
to an invitation, that they should be
pleased, on their return, to come south
and see the greatest Silver Republican
club in the United States. This they
now find impossible. The telegram fol-
lows:

lican Club, Los Angeles; Senator Petit

A FOOLISH GIRL
AN ELOPING COTTON COUPLE
CAUGHT IN THIS CITY
Promises Of Marriage and Deserted
Wife Now in the East-Eva
Frederick Returns Home

Frank Darling, who is night telegraph
a 15-year-old girl who lives at the same
place, were arrested at the Arlington
lodging house, on Commercial street,
yesterday morning and returned to Col
ton, from where they eloped last Thurs
day. Darling will be charged with Sc
rious offense, and the young girl has
been returned to her heart-broken
mother. About five months ago Darling
came to Cotton and began work in the
telegraph Office as night operator. He
is about rs years of age, and handsome
and dashing fellow. He was a stranger
to every one, but his handsome figure
and taking manner readily gained him
entree to the best families about the vii
lage. He posed as a single man, and
no one suspected what has since been
learned that he has deserted wife and
three-year-o son living in the east.
In 1893 Darling was married to Miss
Annie Stringer at Ackley, Ind. His
wlfe's parents were prominent people.
After two months Darling deserted his
BRIDE She afterward went home to her
parents, at Pittsburg, Pa, where she
has since lived. A son was born to
her, and is now three years of age. Her
husband has never contributed a dollar
toward her support, although an occa-
sional letter has passed between them.
and she has begged him to do something
for her and her child.
A short time after his arrival at Cotton
Darling became acquainted in the family
of highly respected widow, Mrs. Fred
erick, who has pleasant home and a
comfortable income. The lady has two
daughters. one aged Is years. and the
other, Eva, aged Is. Darling became
very devoted to the younger daughter,
and was frequent visitor at Mrs. Fred
erick's home. Thanksgiving day he was
there by invitation. He brought car
riage, and asked to take Eva out for
ride The devoted mother granted per-
mission, and the two left together That
was the last seen of them until yester-
day.
Inquiry about Cotton showed that the
couple had driven Immediately to the
railway station and boarded the train
for Los Angeles. Darling's trunk and
all mis- baggage nau gone on tne same
train. The horse and buggy in which
he had driven away had been returned
to the livery stable just before train time.
It was different with the girl. She had
evidently not prepared for her depart
ure, and had left without taking even so
much as wrap.
The sheriff and police Of this city were
notified to watch for the missing couple.

BURGLARS AT WORK
ANOTHER RESIDENCE LOOTED
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
The Thieves Secure Plunder Consist
Ing Of Jewelry and Clothing
Worth $3.50 "a

The residence Of Col. L. p. Crane, at
243 San Pedro street, was looted Satur-
day afternoon by burglars, who secured
plunder consisting Of jewelry and cloth
ing amounting to $3.50. The family we're
absent at the time. Mrs. Crane came up
town about o'clock, carefully closing
and looking all the doors before leaving
the house.
Entrance was effected by the thieves
through rear door, from which they
tore off the screen. Once in the kitchen,
large glass door leading into the dining
room was encountered. The glass was
broken SO that hand could be reached
through to the key on the inside. The
rest was easy.
Drawers were pulled out Of the bu-
reaus and chiffoniers and their contents
dumped in a promiscuous heap. What
ever Of value In them suited the burglars
was taken. The thoroughness with
which the entire house was gone over
indicates the leisurely manner in which
the burglars worked. Clothing and Jew
elry were both in favor, and diamond
ring, gold buttons. chains and trinkets
were carried away. Several fur gar
ments were also taken, besides valua-
bic beaver coat and overcoat or
The burglary has been reported to the
police but there seems to be no clue tn
the identity of the thieves. It is thought
that two men did the work, since so
large an amount of plunder could hard
ly have been carried away by one person.
The family first learned of the burglary
at o'clock in the afternoon, when Mrs.
Crane returned home and found every
thing turned topsy-turvy. Inquiry
among the neighbors failed to show that
any suspicious looking characters had
been seen around the plundered house
during the afternoon.

COUNCIL FORECAST
Business to Come Before the City
Fathers Today

0tACAS 4Ouuy
Today's session Of the city council
does not promise to be productive of the
wrangles which are usually a part of the
proceedings of that body. Unless the
hose question causes the expression Of
some widely divergent opinions, or
something new Is sprung by some of the
members, the session promises to be as
peaceful as a prayer meeting. There
will be no report by the water supply
committee on the matter of the petition
for bond election for bonds with which
to construct a city water works.
The building superintendent will file a
report as to the condition of the city
hall and will make such recommehtvl-
tions as will, in his opinion, cover the
supposed danger Of further breaking Of
the walls. There will be no report by
the plumbing inspector as to what is
needed to improve the sanitary condi-
tion of the building.
The contract and bond Of the Los An
geles Electric company will be approved
ON recommendation of the finance conf.
mittee The same committee will file d
voluminous report allowing number Of
rebates in taxes.
City Clerk Hance will report the cases
of erroneous assessments for former
years, which have resulted in the sale OF
property. Accompanying this will be
a statement of other double assess
ments in which rebates appear to be
just.
City Engineer Dockweiler may make a
report as to the best plan Of making a
test Of street paving asphaltum, as he
was directed to do by the council two
weeks ago.
One Of the most important matters
to be considered is the proposed new
anti-hitching ordinance. A draft of a
measure to take the place of the present
ordinance will be presented by the city
attorney, but It is not certain that it will
be adopted.
The matter Of the extension Of the
time in which the first installment OF
city taxes may be paid without delin-
quency may be brought up. but 1t Is al
most positively certain that such an ex-
tension would fail Of the necessary ma
jority. an

RAGS IN HIS THROAT.
Fiendish Method Used in the
Murder of Jacob Weinand.

ST. Louis, Dec. ga post mortem
was held yesterday on the body of
Jacob Weinand. who was found dead in
his kitchen, having been gagged, bound
and murdered.
At the time a towel was found tight
ly twisted about his throat, but the
post mOrtem revealed a peculiarly
fendish method the murderers had re-
sorted to.
Far down in the old mans throat,
tightly imbedded at the bronchial tubes.
was a wad of thick cloth which had
been wrapped with horse hair. Fingers
could not have reached that far, and a
stick was probably used to ram the
Wad down. Then the old man was
garroted with the towel
In 1898 a soldier at Jefferson bar
racks, who had saved about 81, 600,
which he carried in his pocket, was
found murdered in his room. He had
been bound a wad of cloth and horse
hair pushed down his throat, and
chOked to death with a twisted towel.
The similarity of the murder of Tues
day evening with that of the soldier
four years ago, has caused excitement
in police circles.
Every effort is being put forth to dis
cover Weinand's murderers, supposed
to have been the two, but the only clues
found are a button and a piece Of cloth
torn from the coat of one of them.
