Mrs. Dudley Would Not Be Turned Out
Of Her House

Of Her House
Mrs. Duley was before Justice Owens yes
terday on q charge Of misedmeanor. and II
she follows the directions Of the court
the case against her will be dismissed. H.
A. Light is the proprietor Of the house at
1872 Hemlock street. but for some time past
he has been unable to find q tenant for
the premises. Finally he located family
to whom he rented the place, and on Mon
day they went to the house with their goods
for the purpose OF moving in. They were
met by Mrs. Dudley, who claimed that she
had been living in the house for several
months, and she declined to vacate. Light
was notified, and he went to the police
station and swore to a complaint against
Mrs. Duleys Deputy Constable Mugnmi
was given the warrant to serve, but when
he reached the house and inquired for Mrs.
Dudley he received his answers through bar
ricaded windows and closed doors. Mug
remi is very resourceful. though, and he
managed to effect an entrance. and placed
Mrs. Duley under arrest. AS she is 70
years of age and not 80 strong as she used
to be, Mrs. Duly decided she would remain
at the police station over night instead
of accepting her freedom on her own recog-
nizance, as was offered her.
In court yesterday she explained to his
honor that Light had given her and her
husband permission to occupy the house
until he shall have secured a tenant.
Justice Owens gave her until Thursday
afternoon In which to move out Of the
house, when the case will probably be dis
missed, provided she complies.

THE WRONG MR.. WRIGHT
Will Be Sentenced by Justice Owen
This Afternoon

The wrong Mr.. Wright, whose given
names are Charles N, was before Justice
Owens yesterday to answer to q charge of
having disturbed the peace at the corner Of
First and Los Angeles streets Monday at
ternoon. On that occasion the wrong Mr..
Wright, who has helped to make the Rival
restaurant at liz West Second street no.
torious, smashed George Bond, 8 negro, In
the face without the slightest apparent
provocation. Wright was quite meek after
his enforced night in a cell, and he pleaded
guilty, but asked that he be allowed to
secure some witnesses. Bond, on the other
hand, pleaded not guilty. Justice Owens set
the trial of the negro and the sentencing Of
the white man for this afternoon at p. m.
The wrong Mr.. Wright Is the same indi-
vidual who worked with DR.. Mclean and
the other would-be Parkhursters during
their excruciatingly amusing exposures Of
some time -honored evils. During that me-
morable farce the wrong Mr.. Wright acted
as stool pigeon for DR.. Mclean and Jab-
boring Jab Wilson, another Parkhurster,
and is moreover reported to have OBLIGATED
as a sort of anonymous press agent for
several of the soiled dove cotes. His present
associates would seem to corroborate the
latter.

further action will be taken In the mat
ter Immediately. 1t is not likely that the
Kessler or Burbank propositions will re-
ceive any further consideration until the
present contract is disposed Of in some
way.
Many people of the city have become
somewhat alarmed at the water situation,
and councilmen are frequently questioned
as to what action viii be taken IL a settle
ment is not arrived at between the water
company and the city by the time the ex-
listing contract expires on July 2Sd. The
answers given are somewhat unsatisfac-
tory, but 1t Is quite certain tina. positive
and defintet action will be taken on that
day looking to the city's requirement of the
plant and all the property of the Los An
geles City Water company. If necessary,
the city will tender what Is considered a
fair amount for the property and then de-
mand possession of 1t.
The committee may make report to the
council at its special meeting this afternoon

any extenuating circumstances Wilbur
WEIGH was before the court yesterday on
a charge OF petty larceny. The boy FORM
erlN was employed as a clerk by Curtis
Colyear, the secondhand dealer on South

FLYING IN THE AIR
A Darky Window Cleaner Gets Bad
Fall

Wesley Jones, colored. fell about thirty
five feet yesterday afternoon at $50, but
escaped with broken wrist. Jones is a
member of the window cleaning firm of
Jones & Blakney and he was engaged in
cleaning a front window in the office of
DR.. Cunningham on the second floor of the
California Bank building. Jones stood on
the outside sill holding on to screen. In
some way the screen gave way and the
colored man, deprived of his support. fell
backward. He turned in his descent and
reached out his hands to save his head
from striking the pavement, hitting upon
his left hand.
There were many people passing on
Broadway at the time, and cry of horror
went up as the crowd saw the darby tum-
BILE from the window sill. Several men
hurried to his aid and he was sent to the
receiving hospital, where DR.. Hagan at

He Shot the Dog

Justus Kraft paid fine of 81 in Justice
Owens' court yesterday, but as 1t was the
price of considerable satisfaction, he prob
ably did not mind the loss very much.
Kraft resides at go West Twenty-hfth
street, and on Sunday he went to J. 81.
Seek, neighbor, to complain about .
vicious dog that the latter kept. Kraft told
Seek that the animal had tried several timea
to bite his child, and requested that the
owner kill the brute. This Seek declined
to do, whereupon Kraft procured a shot
gun and killed the dog Kraft was found
guilty of having violated the city ordinance
in discharging firearms within the city
limits, but was given light fine.

Twelve new ornamental iron posts have
been received at fire department headquar-
tiers in the city hall. and as soon as City
Electrician Francis returns from his va
cation, they will be put in place for the
reception of the fire alarm boxes in the con-
duit district. The posts will stand about
four feet and half above the ground and
will be placed just inside the curb. The
change is necessitated by the taking down
of the poles in the conduit district

Enereatic Dog Poisoner

The neighborhood in the vicinity Of Twen-
tieth, Twenty-first and Twenty-second
streets and Grand avenue has been cursed
for several years past with one Of the most
shameful Of human brutes-a dog poisoner.
The residents in that vicinity find 1t almost
impossible to keep any dogs unless the
animals are kept chained up in yards and
then the pets are not safe. Within month
no less than five dogs have died from pois-
oning. Chief Glass, who resides in that
neighborhood, has lost five dogs within the
past few years. There is no trace Of the
scoundrel.

Foresters to hold their 1899 session in Los
Angeles. The 1898 session of the national

Attorneys for the Company.

The communication was discussed for
over two hours, more through curiosity than
because there was any disposition to take
it under serious consideration. The COM
pany's representatives left long before the
session adjourned, and after their departure
the committee proceeded to get down to
good, hard business. The members of the
committee realized, apparently for the first
time, that the city has, up to now, acted
solely on the defensive, and 1t seemed to
be the sense of all hands that such a posi-
ton should be occupied no longer. Steps
were, therefore, taken to assume the ag-
gressve, and another meeting was held
last evening to discuss ways and means.
Civil Engineers Dockweiler, Eaton and
Schuyler were in attendance at the meet
ing for the purpose of figuring on plant by
which the city may be able to get along
without the Crystal Springs water supply.
II any temporary arrangement can be made
for supplying the city with the needed
quantity of water for eighteen months, It
is believed that headworks can be con-
structed In that time and more adequate
and better supply than is now furnished
Will be at the city's disposal.
The results OF last evenings inyestiea-
lions have given the committee cause for
considerable hope that such course can
be adopted, and It is not improbable that

ANOTHER WAR HERO.
ENSIGN Mnrd Kept Onr Government

Ensign Ward Kept Our Government
Informed From Enemy's Country.
Washington, Nec. 22.-The official re-
ports of the commanding officers of the
navy during the war have been com
piled and published by the navy de-
partment. While treating of events that
have already figured in official reports
that have reached the public the docu-
ments still contain many minor re-
ports that throw side lights on inter-
esting phases of the war. In the brief
record of the proceedings of the naval
war board an unknown hero is brought
to light in the person of Ensign H. H.
Ward, who at the beginning of the war
was on duty in the navigation bureau,
alternating with Lieutenant Whittle-
sey in the heavy duties of assistant
to the chief of the bureau. He volun-
teered for secret service duty, and his
exploits, about which nothing has been
said In the past, may well be placed on
record beside those of Lieutenant Ro-
wan in Cuba and Lieutenant whitney
in Porto Rico,
Within a week after the declaration
of war Ensign Ward disguised himself
and went straight into the heart of
the enemy's country, making his head
quarters at Cadiz, the principal Span
ish naval station, and informing the
navy department here of the actual
strength of the Spanish naval vessels
and their movements. Then he went
to the West Indies and reported every
thing that was going on there of In
portance to the American navy. Next,
he went again into the enemy's country
In disguise. this time to Porto Rico,
whore he was arrested as a suspicious
character and a spy BY adroitness he
managed to secure his release, and es-
Gaping from San Juan cabled the navy
department. full account of the state
of the defenses there and the prepara-
tons making for the reception of the
Spa nish squadron under Cervera. All
this time even the officials of the navy
department were under the impression
that Mr.. Ward was engaged in in
stalling a system of coast signals on
the New England coast.
While Ward was in Porto Rico En-
sign Buck, another attache of the naVis
cation bureau, was on the shores of
the Mediterranean in disguise watching
every movement Of the squadron of
Admiral Camara. Through secret
agents the navy was informed of all
important movements.
