FISH AND QUAIL
Major Hotchkiss Assumes Responsi
bility for an Account

Clyde Gould recovered judgment in Jus.
tice Young's court yesterday for 1890
against A. b. Hotchkiss for fish and ouaiI
ana snndry provisions of an appetizing ma
ture furnished, but failed to make the claim
SUCK as against Mrs. Hotchkiss, sometimes
known as Mrs. Mary A. Mooney. The goods
we're originally supplied by f. Haniman 4
Co.. who assigned their claim to Gould.
Major Hotchlliss and Mrs Mooney were
married last May and it was alleged that
the, goods were delivered prior to that time
and charged to the major, though a China
man usually came to order them, Mrs,
Mooney having on only few occasions at
tended to the marketing personally The
major took the stand, acknowledged the in
debtedness and assumed full responsibility
therefor, adding that he would have paid
the bill long ago if disposition had not been
shown to drag his wife's name into the
suit. Under the circumstances, he did not
feel like offering any compromise He acted
as his own attorney and moved that the
action be dismissed as to Mrs. Hotchkiss,
and this was done, though in opposition to
the contention of counsel for Gould, judg-
ment being ordered for the entire amount
claimed as against Major Hotchkiss per
sonally.
A grim smile of victory spread over the
countenance of the major as he put his law
books. and papers into his little hand bag,
and this smile expanded into halo of light
as Gould's attorney asked the major in a
spirit of badinage how much he would give
for the Judgment. The major said some.
thing about an appeal, but as he had con-
fessed personal liability, this was doubtless
intended to be taken in Pickwickian sense

WILL NOT DISSOLVE
Denial Of Petition of the Crown Hill
Oil COMPANY

On August the Crown Hill Oil company
filed petition with the superior court, ask
ing leave to dissolve The petition came
before Judge Allen yesterday for final ac
ton and was dismissed.
In the application originally filed the ale
CATION was made that over two-thirds of the
stockholders had voted for the dissolution
of the corporation and that all claims and
demands against the company had been
satisfied and discharged. The total num-
Der of shares issued of the capital stock was
stated as 1902, of which number l3, ,040 were
said to have been duly represented at the
meeting called for the purpose of dissolu
ton. Seven directors were shown to have
had charge of the business of the corpora
ton and five of them, Victor Ponet, w. c.
and William d. Babcock, signed the petit
ton. John Q. Tufts and H. o. Haines, the.
other two directors, did not join in the de-
mand.
On September g. j. F. Conroy, a stock
holder, filed objections to the granting of
the petition, alleging that no notice had
been given to him of the meeting for disso-
luton, though he held 1850 shares of the
stock and resided in the city. He alleged
various other irregularities in procedure
and declared that the application to dis
solve the corporation had not been made in
good faith. The company, which had been
organized July 6. 1891, Conroy said, had
on October II, 1895, possession under the
laws of the United States of locations, or
mining claims, amounting in the aggregate
to more than 5000 acres of land, and on or
about that time, he alleged, the petitioners
asking for dissolution had combined and
confederated themselves together with in

tent and for the purpose of deprivlng the
corporation OF such property and to appro-
pirate the same to their own use, in fraud
OF some ten other stockholders; that with
such fraudulent intent, petitioners had al
lowed the assessment work required by law
to go undone, although he, as stakeholder,
had demanded compliance with the law,
ana agreed to pay for the work in the event
that the corporation was unable or unwill
ing TO make such payment. He further al
ieged that the corporation, being thus di-
vested OF its claim to the property, the pc
titioners, in pursuance of their conspiracy
procured Thomas Coghlan, Allison Wallace
D. IL. Frederlcks and others to permit the
use OF their names as locators on mining
claims upon the lands heretofore held
py the company, and that these locators had
no interest in the locations, having acted
tolely for the benefit and at the request of
petitioners, afterwards conveying to l.. w.
Johnson their several claims, and that John
son mad made conveyance to his co-petition-
ers OF their respective interests to hold for
tneir individual use and benefit, in violation
OF their duty as directors of the Crown Hill
OlI company and adversely to the company.

Conroy, sought further to prevent dissolu-

balances due to him and unpaid, as well as
the failure on the part of the corporation
to carry out subsequent agreement to con.

claimed to belong to the corporation in sat
lsfaction of his stockholding interest, on
account of which failure he claimed that the
corporation had become liable to him for
damages in a large amount, and that such
labllity had not been satisfied or discharged.

CATTLE STEALERS
Employe of Flournoy's Lodged in the

The sheriff and his deputies are following

spirit. They have secured, in addition to the

Charley Gee, who bought the hogs from
Lopez after the latter stole them from
the Laguna ranch, and Verna Cruikshank,
an employe of Flournoy, the Pasadena

theft. Thus far it appears that Lopez and

understanding with Flournoy, and that the
Chinaman and Cruikshank were merely ac-
cessory to the crime, the latter being charged
with the actual purchase of the cattle driven
in by Lopez under his agreement The mat
