TIE HEIFER TRANSACTION OF
FRANKLIN AND TRINKEL
SOME VERY SUSPICIOUS FACTS
Peterson Wants Damages for His Sons
Death-Stromee's Hay.
Court Notes

Two youths. named Charles Trinkel and
Andrew Frankini, were on trial yesterday
before Superior Judge Smith on a charge
of grand larceny, alleged TO have been
committed on November oath last, to the
detriment of ]. p. Huffer, farmer who
has a ranch near Florence. On that day
Huffer missed an eighteen months heifer,
worth s25. and suspected the boys. whom
he had seen loafing in the vicinity. Later
it was learned that Frankini and Trinke
had sold the carcass of heifer to Weaver
Bros, butchers, of Sixth and Wall streets,
and had also disposed of the hide of a
heifer to the Los Angeles soap works.
The defense did not deny these facts, but
pretended that the heifer which they had
butchered and disposed of had not been
stolen, but that they had bought 1t from a
party named C. w. Collins, to whom they
paid $3.50 for the animal. This Collins
proved to be a myth-at any rate he could
not be found. The receipt of this c. w.
Collins, which the young men displayed
was proved to be in the hand of Trinkel,
as evidenced by some writing in a memo
randum book which was undoubtedly the
was to the effect that Trinkel was the
author of the receipt Assistant District
Attorney Williams appears for the prose-
cution and Gen. Johnstone Jones for the
defense.
The case will not reach the jury until
noon today.

STIMSON'S WILL
Disposition of the Los Angeles Prop.
ertv of the Dead millionaire

The last will OF 7. D. Stimson, deceased,
dated April 4, 1885. with codfcil of jan
uary 15 1885, was opened yesterday in De-
partment two of the superior court. The
sealty and personal property disposed of
y valued at $1,300,000.
Testator leaves to his widow, Mrs.
Achsah ]. Stimson, the Stimson block at
the corner of Third and Spring streets,
and should the income of this building at
any time fall below $4,000 annually the de-
ficiency is to be made up to her from the
estate. The remainder of the estate must
be held intact until the youngest grand
child now living, which is Harold c. Stim-
son of Seattle, years old, becomes of age.
The executors are instructed to devote
the proceeds of all the bonds, ETC.. and
the income of the Nebraska and Michigan
lands to the improvement of the Los An
geles realty until distribution. Children
or grandchildren attempting to dispose of
their rights before the distribution shall
forfeit them. Any heir who may attempt
to break testator's will is to be cut off
with $20 and anyone not mentioned in it
who shall try it on the pretense of being
an heir is to be paid IS if he succeeds in
proving his claim.
To Miss Mary Z. Spencer of this city is
devised $4,000. The original legacy to his
daughter, Mrs. Olive J. Fay, now of Los
Angeles, is reduced from 100000 to S44,-
900 because of a gift recently of $56, ,e00
From the terms of the will it appears that
similar gifts of 100000 had been made to
the sons during testator's lifetime.
To F. c. Devendorf and James Roe, en-
plCyes of the testator in his Los Angeles
business, gifts of $500 are made. BY the
codicil tn eyounger son, Jay D., is allowed
500 monthly during life, and his share of
the estate merges into the residuary fund.

LUTGE COMPLICATIONS
The Crooked Contractors Bondsmen
Sued for Large Sum

An action was commenced in the superior
court yesterday by the Union sheet metal
works, in which S. c. Dodge Simon Maier,
James w. Hellman and w. c. Furrey are
named as defendants. They are the bonds
men who qualified for Theo Lutge, the
Boyle Heights contractor. when he took
the contract to build the Long Beach
schoolhouse for $4,000, each of the four de-
PENDANTS going on the bond for $500.
The Union sheet metal works agreed to
do the galvanized iron, tin. tile work, ETC.,
for $500. and on October 9Th of last year
the architect found that the corporation
was entitled to $780, On January IS Lutge
paid 1851 of this sum, but has refused to pay
any more. For this reason the company is
obliged to look to the bondsmen for the
balance.
Theo Lutge is the man who claimed to
have had his house burglarized the night
after the Long Beach school trustees had
paid him $2500, but the money was discov-
cred hidden under the rafters, while he was
in prison on the charge of attempting TO
defraud this very firm, which received its
pro rata of the sum found. Since then he
has become insolvent and has thrown up
the schoolhouse contract. The Union sheet
metal works asks that the bondsmen be
required to pay it s749 and interest.

LOSS OF A SON
Peterson Sues the Railroad Company
Which Killed the Babv

William Peterson yesterday sued the Los
Angeles Terminal Railway company, in
oorporated, for $10,044 damages for the loss
of his baby son, Clarence, who was years
and months on October IS last, the day
that he was run over by train of the COM
pany on Avenue 50. within the limits OF
this city.
The plaintiff alleges that on that day a
train came along the curve at that point
at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour
and knocked down and killed the child,
which was upon the track. He complains
that there was no fence or obstruction of
any kind to keep people from this part of
the track, the crossing of which is partc-
ularly dangerous on account of curves and
cuts. Additional negligence on the part of
the employees of the train is also charged.
Peterson wants $44 for the burial ex-
penses of the child and $40. 900 for the loss of
his services till majority.

Attorney in Fact Wins

Judge Clark yesterday gave Judgment in
the case of John c. Bewley against Gra-
cieuse Etcheverrigaray ct al. for the sum
of $3Sl.62, and that the same be lien upon
the defendants property in this state, de-
rived by her as one of the heirs of the late
Miguel Leonis. The defendant several
years ago, some time after the death of her
relative, appointed Leon Loeb. consular
agent of France, her agent under a power
of attorney duly executed. A long time
afterward Mrs. Etcheverrigaray revoked
this power and entrusted her interests to
one Dial. Consul Loeb had expended GER
tain sums and collected others, but he
claimed balance of $3S1.62 He assigned
his claim to John c. Bewley, who brought

DELAY rs THEIR PLAN
Saloon Men Fight Shy of Trials for
Sunday Closiug-More Arrests

A defect in the complaint on which E.
Castellano was arrested several days ago
for alleged violation of the Sunday-clos-
ing ordinance caused the case against him
to be dismissed in Justice Morrison's court
yesterday. The complaint recited that
the defendant was saloon employe and
that he had ''sold liquor on Sunday con-
trary to the ordinance in such cases made
and provided, etc. The fact is that Cas-
tellano is not an employe, but is the pro-
prietor of a saloon, and the original COM
plant therefore would not hold against
him.

CRIPPLES NOT EXEMPT
They Have More Rights to Beg Than
Others but Not to Get Drunk

Several days ago James Thompson, a
six-footer, with but one leg was brought
before Justice Owens for alleged violation
of the statute against chronic begging.
This charge, of course. could not be sub
stantiated, in spite of the fact that he had
been begging for living, because the law
makes an exception in favor Of cripples.
The man was discharged. but yesterday
he secured SO much money from charita-
BILE people that he got gloriously drunk. He
was arrested and when his case was tried
he endeavored to convince the court that
the law allowed one-legged men to get
drunk at pleasure. The court evidently
was not convinced for a fine Of $50 was
assessed against Thompson, who will serve
that many days in Jail In default Of pay
ment.
