WENT TO THE WRONG SHOP
Ryan Should Have Taken the Damage
Suit to a Justices Office

Judge Van Dyke has sustained the de-
murrer in the suit begun by f. G. Ryan
against l.. r. Vincent Daniel Turner and
the Ocean Park Y. NJ. c. A. company.
Ryan alleged that on May 10th Turner con-
tracted with him, in writing, to sell him
five shares of the stock of the Ocean Park
company of the par value of $50 for $40. Vim
cent obtained possession of the stock, not
withstanding that he was aware of the
agreement between Ryan and Turner, and
refused to deliver it up. Turner also re-
fused to comply with the contract, and the
corporation declined to transfer the shares
in it's books to the name of the plaintiff
Ryan asked for 500 damages.
The court points out that an action at law
for damages, and not proceeding in equity
for specific performance, is the proper rem
edy. But, as an action at law, the demand
falls below the amount comforting jurisdic-
ton upon the superior court.

BOWERS PETITION
JUDGE ALLEN NOT SATISFIED
WITH AUTHORITIES
ELOQUENCE
The Hotel de Glass a Poor Substitute
for the Van Mugs, but No
Board Bill There

G. A. Bowers, alias Leo Strauss, broad,
fat fellow, with shifty eye, was brought
up before Judge Allen yesterday after
noon on a writ of habeas corpus. The petit
TONER alleged that he was unlawfully held
in the city Jail by Chief of Police Glass.
under complaint that did not allege that
he had committed a public offense. The
charge is that he defrauded the Hotel Van
Mugs on May Goth by absconding without
paying his board bill Mr.. Bowers was
not at all put out by such little matter as
an accusation of being hotel beat, and his
fat sides shook with laughter as his coun-
sol, City Attorney Billy Arthur of Pasa-
dena, tolod some anecdotal "reminiscences
before the arrival of the judge.
Attorney Arthur claimed that the act
under which the complaint was drawn was
unconstitutional, because of material tech
meal defects, and because it came under
the head of special legislation, which af-
forded protection to certain classes Of
trades-people, while the same protection
was not afforded others by the criminal
courts The only authority introduced by
counsel was a decision of the superior
court of Santa Barbara county.
Deputy District Attorney Willis stated
that several decision of the superior court
of Los Angeles county had upheld the con-
stitutionality of the act. He further ar
gued that the technical omissions or irreg-
ularities in the act did not render it uncon-
stitutional, quoting supreme court cases as
authorities on the subject, and contended
that the complaint was good.
The court was of the same mind, but
granted a continuance in the hearing until
this morning for the production of certain
authorities which Mr.. Arthur believed he
could find and Mr.. Bowers was remanded
to the hospitality of the Glass house, where
such thing as defrauding the innkeeper is
unknown.

Murdy the Magician

The last man to swell the list of unfor-
Inmates who are kept at the insane asylum
at Highlands, because the wheels in their
heads won't keep STILL is Albert Murdy,
who has an idea that he is the product of
magic Mr.. Murdy is 27 years of age, a ma
tive of West Virginia, and laborer by
occupation. He has tuberculosis. He
claims that he came upon earth by magic,
and that he is a magician, who has by his
black art caused the reduction of the pop
ulation of various cities in the United
States. Albert Murdy was found wander
ing last Sunday night on Boyle avenue,
preaching and praying and raising consid-
cradle disturbance. AS he insisted that he
was fairy, officer Wilson sent him to the
home of the fairies back of the police sta
ton in the patrol wagon. He was commit
ted by Judge Allen.

The Contest Dismissed

The contest of the will of Stephen Sill
vany, deceased by which he left all his
property, consisting of about $4,000 worth
of real estate in this city, to the Quijadas,
father and son, came to an abrupt close
Yesterday afternoon, when Judge Ballard
granted the motion of proponents that a
Judgment of dismissal be entered. This
admits the Quijada will to probate. The
contestants, who allege that this will is a
fabrication and that the only bona fide tes-
lament of Silvany was executed in 1891, by
which he left his estate to Bishop Mora
as trustee, for the erection of a male Cath
clio asylum, will probably appeal to the SUI
preme court.
