GOT ALL SHE HAD
Gambled It Away Then Left Her to
Her Own Resources

According to the story of Mrs. Lena
Downs, told on the witness stand in Judge
Shaw's court yesterday, she is the victim
of an arch conspirator who loved and mar
ried for mercenary purpose, and having
exhausted the possibilities in the desired
direction left for greener fields and pas
lures new
Lena Harrison and James r. Downs
were married only two short years ago
according to plaintiffs allegation, after
courtship extending over d comparatively
short period, during which, however, the
inexperienced maiden was induced to be-
lieve that her sutton was a man of mex
haustible means and with such rare capa-
bilities as an accountant that scores of
lucrative positions We're cons family seek
ing his services. That such was by no
means the case the young wife learned
soon after their marriage, but the real con-
ditions were not fully realized before the
husband had sold his confiding spouse's
piano, watch and every other valuable on
which he could lay hands.
The adventurer then had no further use
for a family and refused to contribute to
its support. The closing episode in the
romance took place yesterday in the su-
perior court, when the wife was granted
divorce on the ground of non-support.

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Petitions From Attorneys Who Have
the Countv's Welfare at Heart

Rogers, Peterson & Slackand Derbin &
Derbin are San Francisco attorneys who
seem TO have dug around in the musty and
dusty records of the past and discovered
that Los Angeles county is being deprived
of certain moneys which the state should
long ago have paid over to the supervisors.
With a sincere interest in the county's well
fare they have therefore notified the super
vsors of their discovery and offer their
services to assist the district attorney in
recovering the amounts. OF course, they
want 80 per cent of all that is recovered,
but no one minds a little thing like that.
The matter was taken under consideration.
Douglas, Pyburn & Co. are other ener
getic members of the legal fraternity. They
offer their services to the county for % per
cent of all moneys recovered from the state
as consideration for the support of indi-
gents. The law of 1SS0-S3 is quoted. This
matter was also taken under consideration.
J. w. Ferree was appointed bee inspector
in place of Elon Hart, who resigned, and
H. d. Robertson's resignation as Lancaster
pound inspector was filled by the appoint
ment of C. w. Hutch.
The bids of Laventhal & Sons on WHISTLES
Stearns & Sons on wines were accepted.

Quoting a restaurant at Gardena and L. b.

WANTED AN OPINION
But the Court Did Not See Necessity
for Anv

Attorney Whitney was the first man TO
jump into action in Judge Shaw's court
yesterday. He apparently did so with q
previous determination to get to the bot
tom of the courts reasons for so uncere-
moniously knocking out his proceeding
against Gregory Perkins, jr., and Attorney
Dunning for contempt The court had
merely found them not guilty and ordered
their discharge, and the order was duly
entered in the clerks journal. Whitney
stated to the court yesterday that he I'M
derstood the matter had been decided, but
could find no opinion given in the record.
You will find all the opinion there that is
necessary" said the judge.
"Well, will not the court give an opinion
in the case?" asked Whitney, persistently
"All have to say is that the parties had
perfect right to bring another suit after
being defeated in one. The ground of
your proceeding might be a matter plead
ing In bar, but there was no contempt
The court dismissed the question with
this explanation and took up other business
while Mr.. Whitney walked dsconsolately
out of the court room.

undoubtedly be held up to brother towns

FILED THEIR ANSWER
WATER CO. AGAIN ASKS THAT
CITY BE ENJoINED
MORE COMPLICATIONS ARISE
The Company Will Probably Ask That
Judge Shaw Be Disqualified From
Sitting in the Case

1t looks very much as though the counsel
in the water case are vying with each other
to see which can file the most voluminous
document on the questions a issue. The pc
titions in the two injunction suits filed have
been of 20 and 80 pages of matter respective
ly, but the company yesterday knocked out
all records Their answer to the city's
prayer for possession of the plant, re-
ceiver and an injunction, was filed in the
afternoon, and consists of about 1iO pages
of typewriter matter. 1t embodies all the
information, allegations and petitions CT
the original complaint filed by the company
against the city. also that of the city
against the company, together with the eN-
PLANTATION necessary to an understanding
of both and of the result hoped to be at
tanned.
1t is denied that the city has any right
to the Crystal Springs Land and Water
company's properly and much other prop
erty which is alleged to belong to the Los
Angeles City Water company, and the
statement is made that the plant and prop
erty which really belong TO the defendant
and come within the terms of the contract
are earning an income of not more than
$4,000 per year, and is burdened with an in
debtedness of 1000 or more.
In their prayer the company again ask
that the city be enjoined from taking pos
session of the plant or from interfering
with the collection of water rents, and that
the city's petition for the appointment; of a
receiver for the plant and property be de-
MED. The companys attorneys also filed
two affidavts which suggest that they will
set up claim that Judge Shaw is not quail
flied to hear the citys suit against the COM
pany. One of these affidavts is signed by
B. f. Lewis, of the city assessors office
and states that Judge Shaw is a taxpayer
on $500 worth of property in this city in
Guiding two lots on Maple avenue, with i'm
provements, in all worth S624O, and $500
worth of personal property. The other
document is signed by Charles W. Clark. a
collector for the water company, and sets
forth that Judge Shaw is a regular Gus
toner of the water company and in July
paid his rentals, but has not done so in
August because of the injunction which he
has himself granted restraining the COM
pany from making such collections.
1t is not known that Judge Shaw has any
intention of hearing the city's case, but f
he attempts to it is not unlikely the COM
pany will introduce these affidavits in or
der TO show his disqualification. Both in
junction suits come up today, and one of
them will probably be continued. The citys
answer 10 the complaint in the company's
suit has not yet been filed.

Looking for Information

Chief Glass received a letter yesterday
from j. ]. Roman requesting informa-
ton of rather an unusual character. Ro-
nan resides at Yonkers, n. Y, and asks to
be enlightened as to the location in Califor-
MIA that was infested by yellow fever in
1866. This was quite a few years before the
advent of Chief Glass or any of his assist
ants in this country, so the letter could not
be answered Immediately. Roman said that
he had had a brother named VIM. Murray,
son of Mungo Murray, who came to Cali
fornia in 1866 and wrote to his mother that
he was dying of yellow fever. Roman
hopes to get some trace of his missing
brother.
