river is reported falling at Memphis.
the gauge reading 81 feet. Several
breaks in the levees are known to have
occurred between Osceola, Ark, and
Memphis, aud the fall Of tho river here
is attributed to these crevasses. The
break at Sans Souci is widening, and
the mad rush of the waters through
the opening can be heard pr miles.
Three additional breaks, all near Sans
Souci, are reported. and the suffering
Of the people in Eastern Arkansas will
surely be greatly intensified.
The railroad situation q Memphis is
somewhat better. The xazoo and Mis-.
sissippi Valley have sent its trains to
New Orleans, the tracks between Mem.
phis and Lakev.ew having been raised
above the water level. The Illinois
Central south and the Kansas City,
Memphis and Birmingham east are
running trains on time. %S#*
Over in Arkansas the town Of Marion
is in q bad condition. All the houses
are surrounded by water, and the
whole face of the earth is submerged
except here and there small Indian
mound remains above water. There
are many breaks in the levee, or at
least many places where the water is
running over the levee like mil)raco.
The water is also pouring over the
Kansas City railway at three places in
the town of Marion, and possibly at
more. At these places the current is
exceedingly rapid, and the waves roll
and dash eight and ten feet high.

THE YOUNG DIVORCE
One of the Heirs to the Mccullough
Estate in Court

The matter of the divorce of Charles
H. Young from Lulu Young came up be-
fore Judge Van Dyke yesterday, but
was continued, and it is extremely likely
that when the case comes to trial some
interesting details may be disclosed.
The plaintiff claims that his wife de-
serted him about three years ago, but
recently returned and attempted to foist
herself upon her husband again. There
existed no reason to suspect that Mrs.
Young had felt any return of the old
time affection, but the fact that her hus-
band had fallen heir to very consider
able fortune is considered very largely
to have influenced her actions Mr..
Young is a printer by trade and for some
time has been in very delicate state of
health. When Joe" Mccullough, the
veteran newspaper man and editor of
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat met with
his death in sudden manner it de-
veloped that Young was one of the nine
heirs to the estate. His share of the
property will range anywhere from $780,
900 to $4,000.
1t was just after the news of this wind
fall of fortune reached Los Angeles that
Mrs. Young returned to her husband.
For the sake of an only child-a daugh-
ter fourteen years old-it was decided to
obtain a divorce on the simple charge of
desertion, but Mrs Young has now filed
a cross complaint in which she makes
charges of habitual intemperance, and
this will be met by plaintiff amending
his complaint and seeking divorce on
other grounds than the one merely of de-
sertion.

THE HOLINESS BAND
Its Rights Assailed by Another Band
of the Same Name

The Los Angeles Holiness Band is
rather tangled There are two Rich
monds in the field, and Judge Shaw has
to determine which is the real, simon
pure Holiness Band.
The suit is one to quiet title to certain
property on Fourth street, between
Spring and Broadway The Holiness
Band No. 1 Incorporated about sixteen
years ago, and the property in dispute
was left to the band. There was a split
in the ranks and the dissentients desert
ed and never came near to their old as
sociates for about ten years. Last April,
however, the malcontent faction, includ.
ing G. w. Morgan, c. E. Mckee, D. c.
Roberts and M. Whistler, also incorpo-
rated as the Los Angeles Holiness Band
This No. faction meant business, and
one evening they went to the headquar-
ters on Fourth street of the No sec
ton and boldly took posse ssion, elected
officers and had new lock put upon the
door. This very drastic action was TAX
en- on the ground that the first incorpo-
ration was invalid, and that the second
was necessary on this account The rea-
son for waiting ten years before taking
this remedial step, and what right these
incorporators might have over property
which belonged to an incorporation. is
now in course of explanation in depart

IN TROUBLE AGAIN
Charles Compton Again Involved in
Shady Deal

Charles Compton, who not long ago
was involved in an unsavory scandal
in connection with the Spillman Water
company, and who for long time was
the confidential clerk of w. T. Spillman,
is again in trouble
He was arrested on warrant issued
in the township court, and is charged
with forgery. The complaint was made
by A. P. West, of the Columbia bank.
and the charge levelled against him is
that Of completely in the fraud in which
A. E. Davis and w. M. Ware figured as
the principals. AS matter of fact. it is
claimed that he was the ringleader in
the scheme, and engineered the deal. 1t
will be remembered that they forged a
deed to certain property on Washington
street belonging to S. H. Green, and got
an advance of $1,000 upon it from the
bank. Ware disappeared for time but
was discovered and arrested when he
made a bogus attempt at suicide at
Long Beach.
Compton was arraigned yesterday af-
ternoon before Justice Young, and his
examination set for August 5, with a
bond set a. $500.

sum of money invested in the development

amount you would invest would not ac-
complish much in itself, but when investors
group themselves together in sufficient
numbers, and concentrate their efforts
and money in valuable mining properties,
then these many small sums of money
would prove a veritable battering RAM
which will clear the way to your fortune,

TO CLEAN THE STREETS
JOINT COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS
TO WAIT ON THE COUNCIL
To Urge an Improved system-other
Improvements That Would
Be Beneficial

A Joint committee appointed by the
board of trade, Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association and the chamber OF
commerce met at the latter place yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock when the
following were present:
Judge j. w. Mckinley, A. Jacoby
Chas. Forman, H. Jevne, Frank Coulter,
A. B. Cass, E. A. Beardslee, L. w. Godin
and J. D. Hooker.
Judge Mckinley was elected chairman
and Mr.. Forman explained the object
of the committee and meeting were to
urge upon the council the necessity of
having the paved streets in the business
center of the city, or from Seventh north
to the Plaza and from Hill to Alameda,
swept regularly and continuously, by
hand, during the day and every day. A
special committee Of Judge Mckinley
and Messrs. Forman and CasS were APP
pointed to appear before the council in
the matter, and also to take up the mat
ter of better street sprinkling, but it
was finally decided that the whole COM
mittee of nine would be none too many
to properly impress the council with the
gravity of the situation; and after some
discussion on the matters of improving
in some way the present condition OF
the three principal streets; of the abuse
of the hitchipg ordinance; the imper-
feet electric lighting in. some parts of the
city, and as to the advisability of con-
structing public lavatories, in none of
which definite conclusion was reached,
the committee adjourned to meet at the
city hall Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
