THE POLITICAL AXE
Poised Ready to Decapitate One Of the
Clerks in Mr. Newlins Office

1t is currently reported around the
court house that on Monday next Andy
Francisco will be perambulating the
streets of Los Angeles without his head
that is, of course, his political head. By
a strange coincidence. if it can be called
such. his father, A. w. Francisco, chair
man of the board of supervisors. will at
the same time retire from the position
he had filled with some honor into private
life.
Andy" Francisco, as clerk of depart
ment three. has made many friends by
his. frolicsome manner and genial cour-
tesy extended to everyone having busi-
ness to transact in Judge York's depart
ment. If it should prove true that he
is to be sacrificed to the political Moloch
many will regret the step that County
Clerk Newlin has been compelled to
take. By yet another coincidence fiiend
Andy's place is to be filled, so Dame Ru-
NOR has it. by Mr.. Myers. who in addi-
tion to being a very estima BILE young fell
low, has the good luck to be related by
ties of blood to Hervey Lindley. of most
gracious memory. There are those un-
kind enough to say that if young Fran
cisco is removed from the office of clerk,
which he has filled to the satisfaction of
the judge presiding in that department
and the attorneys practicing a the bar,
1t will be because ukase went forth
from the Republican boss. and County
Clerk Newlin had perforce to play the
part of lord high executioner.

THE RETIRING JUDGE.
Judge Mckinley to Form a Partnership
With NJ. L. Graft, Esq

After serving as judge of the super
ior court for a term of eight years, the
ermine will drop from the shoulders of
Judge Mckinley on Sunday next at mid
night, and he will resume his practice
at the Los Angeles bar
During his term on the bench many
cases involving vast interests have come
before him for adjudica ton, and have
been decided in such manner as won ap-
proval from all concerned, while reflect
ng credit upon himself. Judge McKin-
ley purposes carrying the store of legal
lore that he has garnered up into the
law offices of NJ L. Graft. esq, and after
Monday next the firm will be known as
Mckinley & Graft. Inasmuch as the de-
sire to engage in litigation seems to be,
not only one of the accompanments OF
our high civilization, but inherent in
human nature, it is hopeless to ina agine
that it can be ended. In such case one
can, with some grace, hope that the
new year may bring to the retiring judge
and the new firm a goodly share of .he
golden ducats scattered by the litigious
portion of the community

OFF FOR SACRAMENTO
Legislators Going North to Begin Their
Duties

Senator-elect Robert N. Bulla, accom-
panied by his family, left this city last
night on the $50 Southern Pacific train
direct for Sacramento, and not for San
Francisco, as he had at one time con-
templated. He is slated for member
ships of several important committees,
including the craftsmanship of the COM
mittee on constitutional amendments.
AS the Republicans will select the COM
mittees they will do a wise thing if they
place Mr.. Bulla where. by reason of his
integrity, energy and ability, he can do
the most good for the state. In honoring
him the senate will also honor Los An
geles county.
Assembyman-elect L. H. Valentine
left for San Francisco yesterday, pre-
paratory to being in Sacramento in time
for the assembling of the legislature
next Monday.
Assemblyman-elect VIM. Mead also
went to the windy city three days ago,
and will proceed thence to the state
capital in time to take his seat in the
assembly when the roll is called.

Next Week-Miscellan-
eous Notes

The trial of the suit of Isabella Myers
against the Bankers Life Assurance
association of Minnesota occupied the
attention of Judge Shaw and a jury
again yesterday.
Th defense put in some strong evil
dence, medical and of other kind, to
sustain the contention of the defendant
corporation that John Myers was, at the
time he took out the policy of insurance
on his life, in an unsound condition, and
he knew it. 1t was testified to that he
suffered from diabetes, and that when he
was examined, previous to the issuance
of the policy, he submitted for medical
examination and chemical test urine
other than his own.
Most of the testimony given yesterday
was an elaboration of the facts in con-
nection with alleged fraudulent repre-
sentations of Myers. and through which
he was accepted as a good risk by the
defendant company, when. in fact, he
was a very bad risk and under ordinary
circumstances could not have had his
life insured at all.
The further hearing of the case will
be resumed tomorrow.

This is a rather unusual mode of pro-
cedure for the court to adopt, and would
seem TO indicate an abundance of eau
ton on the part of Judge Mckinley in
desiring further light upon certain
points. Some speculation was indulged
in yesterday by attorneys and others
as to what these might be.

TOO MUCH LIQUOR.
The saying True That "a Fool and His
Money Are Soon Parted"

There are more ways of robbing man
than by telling him to throw his hands
up, and this was shown yesterday In the
township court.
Louis Berger is an old soldier, and was
in court trying to recover some satisfac-
ton for having been practically robbed,
even if not so in strictly legal sense, of
$50 by Lawrence Smith. 1t appeared that
Berger went to a saloon at Fifth and Los
Angeles streets and there changed q
check for the above amount. He owed
a bill amounting to Sc, and had some
drinks, amounting to about 81. and re-
ceived s29 in change. But the saloon
people knew what kind of a fellow Berger
was. and kept urging him to drink He
did so, with the result that he blew in
all his wealth The bartender testified
that one round of drinks cost IS, and
from that it may be inferred that every
bum and deadbeat in the place was made
to hustle up and drink at the expense
of Berger.
The case was dismissed by Justice
Young, but he expressed himself as
strongly of the opinion that the law
ought to be made to reach a case such
as the one at bar.
