THREE OF A KIND
Damage Suits That Aggregate
$4,000

]. T. West has instituted suit against
the Los Angeles Railway company to
recover $4,000 as damages for injuries
received. He alleges that on July 22d
while driving his wagon and two horses
along Spring street. close to Ninth, one
of the defendants cars ran into his
wagon. He was thrown to the ground
and as he alleges, painfully and perma
nently injured By the cuts and bruises
and fright he was made deathly sick;
his back and shoulders were injured,
his leg and knee sprained and otherwise
injured. For all this he wants $4,000.
Norman NJ. Carse has filed suit against
the Southern California Railway COM
pany for $4,000 as damages for injuries
sustained. He claims that on May 18th,
while driving a wagon over the tracks
on Walnut street, through the negli-
gence of the defendant and failure to
ring the bell or blow whistle, a loco
motive with train attached collided with
the wagon and the plaintiff was thrown
to the ground. His injuries, it is claimed,
will also be permanent, and he demands
$4,000 as damages.
The last of the trio of damage suits is
the one brought by Tony Guyton agairs t
Isl del dHiu Ills vic, u IGCON ct
$4,000 for defamation of character The
plaintiff alleges that he has always borne
a good name and character On several
occasions, however, the defendants have
reflected. upon his integrity and he has
apparently kept close tab or, them. He
claims that on March 29th, April I'd,
May 10th, June 14th, July 18th and Aug
ust 7th the defendants in presence of
other persons said: THAT man, Tony
Guyton is a thief; he stole my horse and
wagon" On March 29th, too, the wife
of defendant, in language more express
sive than polite, said: THAT b., Tony
Guyton stole my husbands horse and
wagon" and On divers occasions brand
| ed him as thief. All this being false,
has been very grievous to the plaintiff
and he asks that he be awarded $4,000 as
damages, and costs.

A DOUBLE OFFENDER
"Prof" Earlston, the Balloonist, Ar
rested at San Diego

Professor Richard Earlston, the aero
naut, is in trouble again, and as it ap
pears this time, for keeps. While his
balloon was tugging at the ropes on Sun
day afternoon at San Diego, and as he
was about to cut loose from the ground
he was placed under arrest on the charge
of rape on a complaint issued from the
township court of this county.
1t will be remembered that a few
months ago Earlston got into trouble
here over 14-year-old girl named Beu-
lah ]. Minot, but the matter was salved
over upon Earlston's ting to marry
the girl A license was obtained and the
couple were married-or at least the girl
thought she was. Since then, however,
Mrs Earston No l has appeared upon
the scene, and she claims prior lien on
the shifting affections Of the too gay
balloonist. The professor was made by
his true-blue spouse to figure as big
amist, and of course the original charge
of rape revived. Constable Yonkin, to
whom some praise is due for finding out
the true status of the case and keeping
tabon Earlston's wherea bouts yesterday
dispatched one Of his deputies to San
Diego to escort the defendant to this
city.

OTHER RELATIVES
After the Estate of the Late N. G.
Creede

Another claimant against the estate
of N C. Crede. deceased, has made him
self known in a communication addresse
10 Mayor Snyder.
Yesterday morning the mayor received
a letter from S. S. Harvey, late chairman
of the executive committee of the Peo-
ple's party, of Pensacola, Fla.
Mr.. Harvey states that in 1867 his
brother, William R. Harvey, left Denver
Col, and was supposed to have died
while prospecting for gold. In the year
1860 S. S. Harvey went to Denver, but
was unable to find the missing man. He
learned. however, that he was living
under an assumed name and had gone
out on a prospecting trip, but his exact
whereabouts were unknown to any one
in Denver.
Harvey returned home, but If COM
munication between the brothers was
re-establshed the fact is not known, for
letter. Not until Creede's death and the
facts concerning his life were published
has the Florida brother been able to
locate the lost one. He states that he
wrote to Mrs. Crede, but his letter was
not answered or returned and he con-
cludes by requesting Mayor Snyder to
write him and give him whatever infor-
nation he may possess
Harvey also states that the family
was reared in Springfield, ILL.,, where his
sisters now reside.

THE BISHOP INSOLVENCY
Some Odd Points in Business Mans
Troubles

The further examination of witnesses
in the matter of the insolvency of M.
w. Bishop, the Fifth street grocery deal
sr, was resumed yesterday before Court
Commissioner H. S. Rollins in Depart
ment two.
The testimony in the case has been of
the kind usual in bankruptcy proceed
ings with certain notable exceptions. 1t
has developed that after the store was
attached Mr.. Bishop segregated his bills
receivable, and selecting those easy of
collection gathered in about $500. He
has stated that he did this for the pur-
pose Of compromising with his creditors.
On April he, in company with his wife,
went to the theater and upon his return
home discovered that the money-over
$450-which he had slowed away in a
bureau had been stolen. Nothing had
been touched in the house save the
bureau, which had been broken open and
a box containing trinkets which stood
on top of the bureau that had been rifled.
The burglary was not reported to the
police, and Mr.. Bishop did not even think
it worth while to inquire of the neighbors
if suspicious persons had been seen
around.
An odd little bit of gossip is being re-
tailed in connection with Bishops in
solvency. At the time that l.. H. Valen-
tine was running on the ticket for the
assembly, Bishop is said to have worked
very hard in his behalf, and was an i'm
portant factor in the final result. A lit
tie later Bishop obtained loan of $125
from Valentine, but did not repay it
When the crash came Valentine, per-
force, had to figure just as the other
creditors and stand his chance of get
ting so much on the dollar out of the
wreck. This, it is said, was very dis
pleasing to Valentine, and SO in lieu of
money he determined to take the diff
ference in personal satisfaction, and
consequently, rightfully or not, he is
credited with taking the stand that made
these extra judicial proceedings neces-
