THREATS TO KILL
Add Complication TO the Family Differences
of the Jo,inson.RusseIl Families

The colored colony has been rent by
Internal dissensions during the last few
months, and after having had certain
factionists in the church disciplined by
the law, it only remained for some of the
family linen TO be washed in public
to make the troubles that have afflicted
colored society public property.
And this was done a short time ago
when a tall, strapping young fellow
named Lindsay Russell was charged
by a most decided brunette named Miss
l.. johnson with having wrought her
ruin under promise of marriage. The
examination into the case did not re-
fleet very creditably to any of the par
ties concerned, but there We're ludicrous
features that redeemed the case from
the commonplace. The ill-feeling then
engendered between the Russell and
Johnson families has resulted in both
parties again appearing in the courts.
on Thursday they had trial in the

Johnson. the father of young Russells

The complaining witness is Voluble of

on that account more than once. He
claimed that he and a friend named

PENSION FRAUD CASE
Curious Development Regarding Murilio' 8
Hiifary Service

Some interesting perpleXities develop
cd yesterday in the case of Salvado Mu-
rillo, charged with pension fraud now
on trial in the United States district
court, that may yet result in the ac-
quittal of the defendant.
Murillo is an old Mexican, who is to-
tally blind and cannot speak a word of
English. He is charged with having
impersonated one Jose Maria Moreno,
and drawn the pension after the latter s
decease Moreno was at one time a
member OF native California Cavalry
Troop D. and an effort had been made by
defendants counsel to prove that Mu-
rillo was a member of the same COM
pany and was actually the original Mo-
reno, but that after the war he had been
carelessly called Murillo, and had come
to regard that as his name
During the recess at noon yesterday,
however, the defendant made a state
ment, through an Interpreter, which
throws an entirely different light upon
the subject He claims that he was a
member of Company c of Santa Bar
bara, and had only stated that he was
a member of Company d through fail
ure to distinguish the difference in the
sound of the two letters. He also named
over a long list of the officers and mem
bers of Company c of Santa Barbara
whom he claimed We're old friends.
On the reassembling of the court the
defendants attorney explained what he
had just learned from his client and

"CAP" JAMES INDIGNANT
Arrested for Carrying q Concealed Weapon
Searched and Discharged

Arrested for Carrying 4 Concealed Weapon.
Searched and Discharged
Captain" James, editor and proprie-
tor Of the Partisan, has another
grievance to add to the number he is
laboring under-in his mind.
Yesterday while meandering down
Spring street he was accosted by Ser
geant Jeffries of the city police, who
asked hfrn if he had a weapon concealed
about him and made a motion as if to
search him. James resisted, and told
JeffrieS that If he liked he could arrest
him, and thereupon the police sergeant
did like, and took the reluctant James to
the police station. Upon a search being
made no weapon was found upon the
bellicose proprietor of the Non Partisan
and he was turned loose. He was
wrathy, however, and made short cut
to the district attorneys office where he
demanded that a complaint be drawn
charging all kinds of things against Ser
geant Jeffries.
1t appears that James had a permit
to carry a pistol, but on the 9th instant
the board of police commissioners re-
voked the permit. James got an unof-
fetal inkling of the revocation and left
his gun at home, and so the police failed
to cinch him for carrying a concealed
weapon. After he had suffered the in
dignity of arrest the doughty captain
asserts that he received no official noti-
fication Of the withdrawal of the permit.
His application for a complaint is be-
ing taken under adviSement.

Mrs. De Shepherds claim for $50. 900
damages against the city has gone up
in smoke-the smoke of counsels argu-

The greater portion of the d,by yester-
Gay was taken up by counsel in pre-
senting their views of the case to the
jury Counsel for plaintiff made 1t per-
fectly clear that Mrs. De Shepherd was
a very much injured woman, had suffer-
ed very serious injury to her property
and was deserving of the utmost con-
sideration at the hands of the jury
Counsel for the defendant, on the other
hand. showed with equal clearness that
the defendant had been benefited very
materially, even though against her WILL
By skillful arrangement Of figures he
showed that by grading down her prop
erty the defendant might, by disposing
of the gravel not only pay all the ex-
penSes of excavation but net a clear
profit of about $4,000.
The case having been given to the jury
it took those gentlemen just one hour
to arrive at decision. There were
three ballots taken. On the first ballot
four of the twelve jurors We're in favor
of the plaintiff; on the second, one, and
on the third ballot the jury was unani-
nous in favor of the defendant.
1t would appear, however, that in one
point at least, Mrs. De Shepherd was
actually damaged, albeit the testimony
upon the point was very limited That
was in having the gravel that cavel
from her ground appropriated by the
city. According to the figures Of City
Attorney Dunn that gravel was worth
very good money, and the verdict in this
case seems to establish a precedent
that, in this regard, might have un-
happy results.

hind as If to draw q gun, and shouting
to Russell and his companion to stop,
impaired the cheerful information that
he was going to kill them both and that
he would "fill them plumb full Of lead"
Russell, as he claimed, jumped from the
buggy with his shotgun in his hand, just
as he had been holding it, and asked the
old man to ''let up But Mr.. Johnson's
soul was afiame and thirsted for gore.
With such thought in his mind he told
his white companion, who had walked
away, and shouted out to him to come
along, that he was going to kill the
two scoundrels."
Briefly put, that was the testimony
sworn to by young Lindsay Russell and
his friend Crew played the part of echo
and corroborated everything that his
principal had stated. He volunteered
the additional information that Mrs.
johnson had contracted the playful habit
of throwing rocks at him for having, in
his testimony in the seduction case. tes-
titled absolutely as to the lack of chas-
tity on the part of her daughter.
That closed the case for the prosecu-
ton. A. ]. Moore, a machinist and en-
gineer who happened to be with john
son when the trouble arose, cast new
light upon the interchange of doubtful
compliments. He alleged that as the
buggy drove up, either Russell or mis-
friend, he didn't known which, cried out:
You come out of the way there, john
son-it's you mean," he added as john
son looked around. ''I'll fix you in about
two minutes" The buggy drew up, and
as Russell jumped out he pointed his
gun at Johnson's breast. "They had u
hot for a few minutes" said witness,
land 1 walked along, for didn't want
to be mixed up in the trobule."

office cross-examined the witness at
length and then inquired, Are you a
married MANI"
II pass for that" was the dubious re-
ply.

I've got license to that effect"
"You are married them"
Just as much as any of us, guess"
The witness left the stand having tes-
titled very well for the defendant, but
having left some doubts as to the bona
fde character of his answers regarding
his marital relations.
Other witnesses testified to young Rus
sell having been the aggressor against
Johnson, and on motion of Assistant
District Attorney Williams the case was
dismissed.

THE SUBSTITUTION DENIED
And Appeal Dismissed by the Supreme Courl
in q San 6ernardino Case

The opinion of the supreme court in
the case of John Suman against Melville
Archibald ct al. carried up from San
Bernardino county, was received yester-
day.
The case was submitted on a motion on
behalf Of the Abstract and Title COM
pany for the substitution of that corpor-
alton as defendant and respondent, in
place of Melville Archibald; and also a
motion by the corporation and the de-
fendant and respondent, Fannie Archi-
bald, to dismiss the appeal upon the
ground of the failure of appellant to file
his points and authorities within the
time prescribed by the rule of court
THE motion to substitute said corpor-
alton as defendant" says the supreme
court, must be denied. The action was
brought to foreclose mortgage against
the defendants, executed to secure a
promissory note for $1,000. The defend
ants set up counter claim and after
trial the court denies any payment for
plaintiff upon the note and mortgage
and rendered judgment in favor of Mel
Vile Archibald against the plaintiff for
S15544 with interest and costs 1t is
quite apparent that if the judgment
should be reversed and the cause sent
back for a new trial the said corporation

would be entirely unjust to substitute
said corporation for the said Melville
Archibald, against whom, alone, judg-
ment could be rendered on the said note
and mortgage. Therefore the corpora ton
should not be substituted as such de-
fendant. and as no points and authori-
ties have been filed the motion to dis
miss, under the rule should be granted

and the motion to dismiss the appeal is

We are not permitted to go outside the

but a careful examination of each will
show that it is in instances where the
amendment is made to conform to the
announced decision, either of the court
or verdict of jury, or to correct errors
apparent on the face of the record.
1T is true that the amendments so
made deprive defendant of less prop
erty than was included in the original
findings and judgment, but the identity
of the property and the amount to be
affected by the decision were questions
for judicial determination; once decided

is without jurisdiction to correct errors

A NURSES REWARD
Mrs. Gregory Alleges That Her Nephew Did
Not Treat Her Fairly

Mrs. Minerva Gregory is advanced in
years, being nearly 76 years of age, and
in her latter days her friend of many
years played her a false trick by which
she has suffered At least that is what
she has contended.
This aged lady, it appears, was brought
to Los Angeles by j. W. Miltenberger,
her nephew, from Ohio, on rather odd
understanding. She asserts that in COM
ing west to keep house for her nephew
it was agreed, out of love and regard
for one another, that each should make
q will in favor of the other. 1t was un-
derstood that this agreement had been
carried out, but when Miltenberger died,
some little time ago, it was discovered
that he had left a will in which he be-
queathed his estate, valued at about
$4,000, to his brothers and sisters and had
left his Aunt Gregory out in the cold.
Under any circumstances this be-
trayal of trust must have been disap-
pointing. to say the least but the rela-
tions between the aunt and nephew had
been so close that the old lady had
opened her purse and advanced several
hundreds of dollars to her nephew when
he required it. besides acting as his
housekeeper without receiving any mon
etary reward.
The only thing left for Mrs. Gregory
to do she did. She put in claim against
the estate for the money she had ad-
vanced her nehpew, for remuneration
for work done as housekeeper and for
$50 for services as nurse during the
twelve weeks of her nephew's illness.
In passing upon these claims Judge
Clark allowed the $50 for wages as
nurse, but denied the other demands.

tanned that Miltenberger brought her
out to California from Ohio simply to
afford her home in her old age, she be-

A CONSTABLE'S DIFFICULTY
How Constable Yonkin Talked to a Chinaman
Like q Brother

| Red tape is not appreciated by the av-
erage Chinaman, despite his methodical
ways. The almond eyed brethren are
initiative as monkeys, and while not cas-
| ily disquieted are completely nonplussed
by the red tape of officialdom. A rather
funny incident illustrative of this oc-
curred yesterday.
Constable II. H. Yonkin of the town
ship court attached a carload of or
anges at Tropico yesterday, and upon
doing so found thaA the fruit had been
routed and the shipping bill given to the
consignor. The constable wanted to
have the oranges consigned to himself
at Los Angeles and the station agent
kept the wires hot in telegraphing to
Southern Pacific headquarters in order
to get definite instructions regarding
the matter. From 10:30 in the morning
until o'clock in the afternoon the nego-
tiationS proceeded, and then came the
official ultimatum: Make the constable
take the oranges out of the car and from
off the company's right of way. He can
then put them back and bill them
through to himself"
That was the way in which the rail-
road company preserved the technical
proprieties, and, perfArce, Constable
Yonkin had to obey. Five Cinnamon,
who had just completed the loading of
the car consented to discharge the car
load of oranges for 81, and as the day
was almost at a close got a move on and
earned every cent of the dollar. When
the last box Of oranges had been re-
moved the constable told the Cinnamon
to pitch in and stow the orange boxes
back in the car again, but they simply
stood and stared at him in blank amaze
ment. When they became convinced
order given they looked pityingly at him
and said: Heap dam fool; me no sabe
that" Which was perfectly true, but
scarcely polite.
Yonkin took the boss of the gang to
one side, gave him the dollar that had
been promised, and then talked to him
like a brother. He told him those or
anges had to be back in the car by sun
down in order to go through that night
to Los Angeles, and asked him as he rev.
erenced his celestial pig tail and the
pipers who played before Confucius to
set his men to work at once. The China
man consented and Yonkin was con-
graduating himself upon his ingratiat-
ing manners when he saw the Cinnamon
go UP to his fellows and say, tapping his
forehead significantly meanwhile, "Allee
lite, Mclean clazy; heap dam fool, alice
samee iet'm go'' Suiting the action to
the words he pitched in and the gang
soon had the car loaded
Now Yonkin is wondering who is the
happier-the Cinnamon in thinking he
was a fool, or il, in knowing that they
were.

Damage Suit

The only interest attaching to the
suit of Daneri against the Southern

The defendant owns 81 acres of land
and he stated that at the time of the
flood the water covered his land and
was from two to five feet in depth After
1t receded the silt covered the ground
to depth of from one to three feet. Up
to the present time the new channel cut
by the river has resulted in forty acres
of his ranch being flooded at high water,
and in this manner his property has
been rendered almost valueless.

along the same line showing the devas-
tation wrought by the river.
