THE DIVORCE MILL
Two Husbands Who Committed More Active
Crime Than Marital InfideIity

Judge Smith yesterday granted a de-
cree divorcing F. c. Pratt from Mrs. A.
NJ. Pratt on the ground of deserton, she
having abandoned her husband in Mich
igan.
Emma Belknap was granted decree
of divorce against Frank NJ Belknap by
Judge Shaw yesterday without demur,
OH the showing made. The proof submit
ted showed that this most unworthy
husband had, while the couple were liv-
ing In Missouri deserted his wife for
another woman. He then stole or en-
bezzled a sum of money, was detected
and was sentenced to term in the
state pepitentiary. So soon as he be-
came a convict his wife was entitled TO
her decree.
A somewhat similar case to the above
came up for hearing before Judge Allen.
Mrs. NJ S. Smith, in making application
for divorce from V. e. NJ Smith, offered
proof that her husband had forged her
sisters name to check, and being
threatened with trouble as conse-
quence, deserted his home. In this case
also the decree asked for was granted.
Walter P. Galbraith was accorded a
decree divoreing him from Jennie Gal
braith, on the ground of desertion, in de-
partment six.
The Heilbron case was again before
Judge Allen yesterday. TIE plaintiff
has fully recovered from her fainting
spell, and the further hearing of the case
did not occupy much time. The case
was submitted and a decision will be
handed down on Monday morning.
Judge Clark granted a decree to Mrs.
Anna Flood divorcing her from ]. A.
Flood, on the ground of failure to pro-
vide. The husband is a brakeman on
the Southern Pacific railroad, and for
some time past his wife has worked
for Mrs Burt a Pasadena.
William Quinn yesterday filed his COM
plant against Mary f. Quinn. The
couple were married on December 20,
1896, but the plaintiff now alleges that
at the time of the marriage his wife
had not been divorced from D. S Rich
ards. whose wife she was at that time.
In such case plaintiff asks for annull-
ment of his marriage.

DORA GREEN'S CASE
That Story of Being Drugged Claimed to Be a
Fairy Tale

There was again a large attendance
in the township court yesterday to watch
the proceedings in this most extraor-
dinary case. The defense put upon the
stand only two really important wit
nesses, but each one made, in a different
way, good and strong statement.
The first witness was j. Coulter, a
young man who was with Police officer
Long when the latter was watching
Dora Green a the request of his father.
This witness corroborated Longs state
ment that at a certain time antedating
the present alleged crime, he had seen
Dora and young fellow in a compro-
missing position.
Upon cross-eXamination the witness
did not depart from the main facts of
his statement, despite the fact that the
district attorney tried his best to entan-
Sle him in contradiction. Witness read
lily admitted that on the previous after
noon he had told Maxim in the court
room that he believed the Green family
was trying to put up LOB" on him, and
that is he knew about Dora if he cared
to call him as witness, he could do so.
He Furthermore stated thathe would not
see the defendant sent to the pententi-

The First National Bank Has flowed Next
Door-A 1ore Cspacious HON.
The First National bank will tomor-
row morning commence business in tenn
porary quarters at No. 224 North Main
street, the room next south of that
which it has 80 long occupied.
Several months ago, the management,
realizing the necessity for increased
space and improved facilities for its bus
mess, decided upon extensive altera-
tions and improvements. The wall di-
viding the old banking room from ths
remainder of the lower floor of its build
ing has been removed and replaced by
temporary partition, and the new room
has been prepared for occupancy. Some
changes being required in the front part
of the room heretofore occupied, it be-
came necessary to transfer the business
temporarily to the new room. This
transfer was commenced at noon yes
terday and will be completed before
business hours tomorrow. AS the new
room is smaller than the old. the officers
and employees will labor under difficult
ties in their efforts to accommodate the
banks customers The temporary in
convenience will be borne cheerful!y,
however, in the assurance that in a
short time the bank will possess fac lii
ties for its business unexcelleo Oh the

COMPETITIVE LIGHTING COMPANIES
The Mcinnes Bros. Are Involved In Litigation
by Broken Contract

The competition between the electric
companies appears to grow apace. Yes
terday the Los Angeles Electric COM
pany filsd suit in the township court to
recover $500 damages for breach of con-
tract from the McInnes Bros, the sa-
loonkeepers at 225 South Spring street.
1t is claimed that a contract was en-
tered into by the parties, by which the
plaintiff was to supply light to the Ge-
fendatns premises for the space of one
year dating from July /. 1896. On Feb
ruary % of the current year, however,
the defendants switched off to the oppo-
sition, despite the contract, and for this
the plaintiff company claims compensa-
tion.
A very similar suit was also filed by
the Los Angeles Electric company
against the West Side Lighting company
and the McInnes Bros. in the superior
court. The grievance in this case is much
the same as in the first suit, but it Is
furthermore charged that McInnes cut
the wires on February 25 and disconrect-
ed the plaintiffs meter at the Spring
street premises. damaging the plaintiff
TO the extent of $500, and by breaking
of the contract, etc, plaintiff suffered
further damage to the extent of a second
$500. For these several amounts a
claim is now made.

ary, If his testimony would help him
against an unfair prosecution.
The next and. perhaps, the most I'M
portant witness for the defense was
DIR. White. the druggist, to whom Dora
carried her mothers written request 10
give her daughter q certain dangerous
drug. DR.. White was summoned by the
prosecution. but. was called for the de-
fense by Mr.. Davis. He gave 1t as his
opinion that there was no anaesthetic
or narcotic drug that would cause
young girl if it were given to her, to
become unconscious in from one to four
minutes, and upon her recovering from
its influence about an hour later, permit
her to at once realize where she was.
what had happened, to get up from
bed and walk two blocks to her home.
Any drug that induced unconsciousness
in the above time would imperil life. and
recovery from the effects could not be
so rapid.
On cross-examination the force of this
evidence was not minimized, and other
witnesses testifying along the same line
tended to accentuate and give 1t greater
force.
The case was continued at this point
until Thursday next.

A NEST EGG
A Suit Instituted to Recover $4,000 on an
Insurance Policy

A Sutt Instituted To RECOVER $4,000 on an
Insurance Policy
Insurance cases have made their ap-
pearance moderately often in the courts
recently and there is no reason to think
that there will be decrease in this d.
rection. Yesterday o. P. Widman, as
signee of the estate of G. W. Meade,
an insolvent debtor, began suit against
the New York Insurance company and
V. A. G. Hubbard.
1t appears that on March 13, 1895, a
policy of insurance was taken out by
G. W. Meade with the defendant COM
pany, the latter promising in considera-
ton of the payment of an annual prem
ium of $562.50 to pay upon the policy.
upon the death of Meade, the sum of
$4,000. On October q, 1896, Meade filed
his petition in insolvency and the plain
tiff was appointed assignee of his es-
tate. On January l, 1897, he died and in
asmuch as his policy of insurance had
been paid up proof of death, in accord
ance with the required form, was made
to the insurance company and pay de-
manded in accordance with the terms
oopthe policy.
The insurance company refused to pay
over the $4,000, hence the present suit
to recover that amount.

THE BIG ROCK CASE
Directors to Be Compelled to Canvass Election
Returns

The affairs of the Big Rock Creek Ir-
rigation district appear to be becom-
ing most beautifully tangled up. Yes
terday another link in the chain Of COM
plication was added when Judge Van
Dyke ordered a peremptory writ of man
date issued against the directors of the
district.
1t appears that the directors arro-
gated to themselves the authority to
pass upon certain of the previous pro-
ceedings, and in the premises, refused
to canvass the returns Of the election for
officers, held early in the present month,
which officers will serve on the board for
the ensuing two years. The present
question arose in the suit of Stephenson
against Martin ct al, and the directors,
being purely ministerial officers. had no
option but to canvass the election re-
turns, The premptory writ has now been
issued compelling them to do this.

A SUIT COMPROMISED
The Heirs of Higgins, KILLED on the Pasadena
Road, Are Now Satisfied

On May 6. 1896, one Patrick Higgins
while returning to his home from Cole
grove, and while in the act Of crossing
the track of the Pasadena and Pacific
road, a short distance from town, was
run into by one Of the company's cars
and severely injured. On the 23d of the
same month he died from the effects Of
the injuries he had sustained.
Under the circumstances a law suit
Seemed inevitable, but Lucien Earle,
esq, representing the heirs of Higgins,
settled the case out of court yesterday on
a basis mutually satisfactory. The
amount of compromise has not been per-
mitted to transpire, but it is doubtless
better for all parties than submitting the
issue to jury.
