Before the King of day
had lifted his head from be.
hind the eastern hills, her
citizens were astir, fully
alive to the Importance Of
the work in hand. By the
hour of eleven a number Of
representative citizens Of
Sharp and independence
counties had congregated up.
on her streets when a tap
of the school bell called
them to the high school
building. A glance over the
body assembled was sufficient
to tell that business of i'm
portance was to be trans
acted. 1t was a congress of
thoughtful men. All classes
were represented; farmers,
doctors, merchants. mechan-
les, lawyers, ministers and
editors were there. 1t was
an assemblage in which all
had a voice and all equally
interested. An illustration
that all must unite and stand
together for the common
good of all, was found in
this gathering. This great
truth had it's seat in the
minds and hearts of those
present, and to put it in a
practical form was the first
important step. What
could be of more importance
to all classes than good
roads? The minister as he
seeks to fulfill his HEAVIER
called duty; the physician as
he goes his rounds to relieve
the sick and dying; the farm
er wishing to reach the mar
ket with his products or t.
spend a few quiet hours ii
the worship Of God; the la "
yer seeking relief from "Th'
toll by day, the lamp by
night" and even the editors
with an instinct in common
with all other classes of civ
ilized people seek these roads
Roads have their effect up
on the race. They tell the
peoples standing in civiliza
ton. The American In
dian in his savage state hat
no roads. The first impulse
of the Dutch, French, ant
English was to build them
Our surroundings shape oul
lives. Harmonious environ
ments bring forth harmony
Environments of discord,
produce discord. One of the
greatest works Of man is te
overcome this discord in the
individual, the community
and the state. With this
great truth in mind this
road league was organized
at Cave City. How well
il succeeded let the read
ers Judge from the proceed
ings recorded by the secreta'
ry of that meeting.

LOSS OF A PARK
At Vernon Possible Contingency
Very Soon

There is probability that the city will
lose one of its parks. 1t is we'll to state,
however, that the particular breathing
space referred to is scarcely known to
one in ten of the city population. All
the same it is a fine plot of ground of
about eight acres at Vernon, and suit
was brought by the city against Kyeor
and others to quiet title and have the
matter of ownership definitely settled.
The case came to trial ye sterday be-
fore Judge Van Dyke. The testimony
showed that in 1887 Kysor sold tract of
about eighty acres on contract, to the
Los Angeles and Vernon Street railroad,
the purchase price fixed being 500 900
The company laid out the tract in the
attractive manner known in real estate
circles during boom times, and the park
was conspicuously shown on the map oc
the tract. A number of lots were dis
posed of but as the corporation did not
hold absolute title it had to go to Kysor
for the deeds. AT the close of the boom
the street railroad people relinquished
the contract and the land, save the lots
disposed OF, reverted to Kysor
The park was laid out as a bait for
purchasers during the boom, but was
never dedicated to public uses either by
kysor or the railroad company, and the
city's only apparent reliance in making
claim lay in the fact that Kysor had, in
making deeds. referred to the land in
dispute as if it was public park. The
case was submitted.

train at Glendora at II o'clock on Monday
night, and that some one shot at him as
he was leaving the railroad tracks. He
passed through Azusa on his way down
the valley, where he was told the rail-
road crossed so that he might again
jump train.
1t appears to be true that some one was
elected from train at Glendora, and a
brakeman is responsible for the state
ment that one of the train hands fired two
shots over the mans headito scare him
away from the train. Whether Wood is
the same individual or not is open to
question.
In any case, the mere fact that Wood
was trailed from the place where the
assault was committed for fifteen miles
into the scrub suffices to fasten suspicion
upon him, and particularly as he ac-
knowledged the trail to be his Instead

NO DAMAGES GIVEN
A Claim for Forcible Eviction and the
Losses Thereby Accruing Denied

The damage suit of G. H. Heckerman
and J. H Wright against Victor Dol
petered out in department five yester-
day.
The claim of the plaintiffs was that
they leased a store room from the de-
fendant, situated on Spring street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets. After
expending $3.50 in fitting up the place
they opened business as poulterers, fruit
men, etc, at further expense of $237 so
During the time they were tenants they
paid rental amounting to $62 30, but in
August, 1896, they were evicted. By
reason of being thus forcibly elected
plaintiffs contended that they lost all the
money they had put in the business, as
we'll as the value of the business itself.
A claim for $1,000 and costs was put for
ward but Judge Shaw didn't see things
in just the same way, and gave judgment
for the defendants.

THEY SAW THE X.RAY
Seventy Pupils Of the Los Angeles High
School View Edison's Wonderful Invention

The class in physics of the Los Angeles
high school, under Prof. G. L. Leslie, num-
bering about seventy, enjoyed a highly
interesting and instructive afternoon at
the English and German Expert Special
lists institute, in the Byrne building, yes
terday.
The magnificent Edison 'X-ray' appa-
ratus was in splendid order and the demon
strations were most thoroughly enjoyed
by the class. Amusing exposures to vary
the solidity of science were made, and
everybody voted Edison the Wizard of
Electricity"
The famous French Manikins, awarded
the medal at the worlds fair at Chicago,
were also exhibited to the class, and one
of the specialists delivered a brief lecture
on Physiology" which was highly en-
joyed by the class. The great German
microscope was also an object of deep in
terest to the young people ,and everybody
had to have peep through this magnif-
cent magnifier. The afternoon was thor
ougy enjoyed by the class, and the in
structive feature of the entertainment
could only be had at this grandly equipped
institute. These public-sprited specialists
deserve the thanks of the community.

ROAD FUND MONEY
The City Seeking to Recover for the
Annexed Districts

Another suit to recover money accru-
ing to portions of the city recently an
nexed from the suburban districts was
begun yesterday. The city has begur
suit against County Auditor Bicknell tc
recover s2OO2.S accruing to that portion
of the Rosedale road district that was
brought into the city, and s75409 accru-
ing to that portion of the Vernon road
district. The supervisors levied the road
tax for the fiscal year of 1867 at 81
cents on the $100, and most of it was col
lected. The above-named amounts arc
the proportionate sums paid in by the
two districts now included in the city
and for these amounts judgment i,
asked.

the drug is always combined with an

The court interposed at this point to
remark that it was impossible to wander
through the entire materia- -medica, and
so Mr.. Williams contented himself with
again putting hypothetical question
to the witness covering exactly the. case
of Dora Green, as testified to by the
girl herself. Given: A girl of Is, tired
and with an empty stomach, drinks a
small glass of wine; within five minutes
she becomes unconscious; in about an
hour she arouses, puts on her hat and
wanders out; slightly bewildered, she
feels no other inconvenience and pre-
sents only as an outward symptom

of no drug that would affect a person
in any such manner.
Thereupon Mr.. Williams arose and in
timated to the court that in view of the
instruction that he understood would be
given by the court to the jury-that
they must believe beyond reasonable
doubt that drug had been admins
tered to the prosecutriX, and that while
in state of unconsciousness she had
been violated, he felt that the state had
not made out a case beyond such reason

court instruct the jury to return YER

ises the action of the assistant district
attorney was the only honorable course
