city's sewage, is nearing an end. The
taking of testimony has consumed more
than two weeks and the case was finally
opened for argument yesterday.
At the outset Judge Campbell of San
Bernardino, who has been presiding in De-
partment six for the trial of the case, said
that he would like to inform counsel in the
case as to his findings from the evidence.
He intimated that he would hold that the
use of sewage for the irrigation of lands had
not been shown to be injurious to the health
of residents in the vicinity, but that an
offensive odor was noticeable at all times
within 200 feet of the ditch, the stencil oc-
casionally being exceedingly disagreeable,
and that sometimes the wind would carry
this foul odor for distance OF mile and a
half or two miles from its source.
With such intimation from the court, ar
gument is proceeding on the basis of the
nuisance alleged to exist by reason of the
use of sewage for irrigation, the pollution
of the atmosphere by the disagreeable gases
forming the sole contention. James Bur-
dett, who has been conducting the case for
the plaintiffs, opened the argument, dwell
ing with much force upon the disagreeable
sensations experienced by witnesses and the
unpleasant surroundings of their homes,
sit,vte as they are in the midst of the
sewage irrigation area. Max Loewenthal,
the attorney for the defense, discussed with
much ingenuity the evidence of expert smell
crs who had testified in the case, and, though
he did not liken The stencil to the delightful
odors of Araby the blest, he held out per-
sistently that the slight thickening of the
atmosphere could not be regarded fairly as
nuisance. The cause will probably be
submitted to the court today.

SUIT IN EJECTMENT
Question Raised as to What Constitutes
Forcible Entry

Evidence was to have been taken yester
day before Judge Van Dyke in the eiectment
suit of the Los Angeles Clam Packing COM
pany against w. W. Beach, but the case
was continued with leave to plaintiff to
amend complaint. The action was one in
ejectment and the complaint was found to
be defective. Plaintiff alleged that it was
in peaceable possession of lot Is. block 2,
Ocean Tract addition to Long Beach on
October 2S last, when defendant in the alb
sence of plaintiffs representative broke open
the door of the house, and on the tenants re-
turn denied them admission, threatening to
shoot any person who should attempt to
enter. Suit was for restitution OF the prem
ises, 800 damages and that such damages
be trebled in amount and for costs.
Beach, answering, admitted that he was
in possession of the premises without con
sent of plaintiffs, but avered that his acts
had been lawful and right. He went on to
relate that he had been in uninterrupted
occupancy of the house for sixteen months
and had resided there with his family con-
tinuously with the exception of two days
preceding October 2S, and on October 26
two men broke open the door while he was
there and entered the building, remaining
there until the 2Sth, when they left and he
resumed possession without hindrance.
Denial was made in the answer OF any
threats to shoot those who might attempt
to enter the house, or of any unlawful acts
committed by defendants.
The complaint was found to be defective,
not complying with legal requirements, as
to forcible entry, and leave was given to
amend.

FRAUD ALLEGED
Trade in Street Sweeping Machines
Proved Unsatisfactory

A street sweeping controversy which has
found is way into the superior court was
heard as to its merits by Judge Shaw yes
terday. The original complaint was filed
by A. j. Stewart against A. j. Hollings-
worth, and recited an agreement made and
entered into, whereby he had agreed to
purchase from Hollingsworth an O. S.
Kelly machine, giving his notes for S400 and
a Bernard Castle machine of the value of
1925. This was in August, 1897, and the
machines were exchanged and the notes
turned over to Hollingsworth. Soon after,
S77.50 was paid on account, but subsequent
ly Stewart became dissatisfied with the
trade and in his complaint he alleged that
Hollingsworth had falsely and fraudulently
represented to him that the Kelly machine
was a first-class sweeper and specially adapt
ed to the sweeping Of the streets of Pomona,
and that other false representations had
been made to him to induce him to agree
to the trade and all with the purpose of
fraud He asked for the annulling of the
agreement and notes, the return of his

EXTREME NERVOUSNESS
Unusual Features Of Case Of Alleged
Insanity


Miss Frances Lance was taken before a
commission of lunacy yesterday on COM
plant of her sister, Lillian, from $40 South
Main street. Miss Lance was an inmate of
an asylum at Toledo, o., four years ago, and
her sister thinks she is again a subject for
restraint. AT times she is very excitable,
but is not noisy, destructive OF violent. She
has required constant watching, however,
and her extreme nervousness was mani
tested in court by continual conversation,
which greatly hindered the examination OF
witnesses.
For several months during the summer
the woman has lived with another sister
at Santa Monica, where at one time she
took a notion that the roomers were not
rising 20 early as they should. Laborine
under such an impression, she entered the
room of a gentleman and his wife and pulled
them out of bed one day, to their great as
tonishment.
Judge Clark ordered her commitment to
Highland, but the case was regarded by the
Judge and by the examining physicians as
possessing very unusual features The wo
man talked very lucidly, but her nervousness
was SO great that she appeared totally inca
pable Of silence or of controlling her physi
cal movements. Though not dangerous to
others, the trouble she had occasioned her
sister by her own helplessness and nervous
ill-nature had been great, and she appeared
to be in need of personal attendance and
medical treatment. 1t was thought that
she was entitled to admission to the asy.

FOR THE REGULAR ARMY
Examination of Men for Service in the
PHILIPPINES

xulAlpplAcS
EnJisting for the regular army of the
United States is processing rapidly at the
armory, under Lieutenant o. p. Hunt. DIR.
Millbank johnson, assisted by Hospital
Steward Allen, is examining the men physi-
cally as rapidly as possible and has already
passed twenty-five who are quartered at
the Natick house awaiting orders to go
north to San Francisco. About one-half
of the men applying are from the recently
mustered out Seventh regiment, the re-
mainder coming from civil life with no
previous military training. The medical
examination for the regulars is more severe
than for the volunteer service, as many OF
the men who entered the Seventh are regis
tered for being under weight or by reason
of weak lungs.
The present enlistment is chiefly for the
Eighteenth and Fourteenth infantry serv-
ing at Manila. Applicants for the cavalry
are also examined for Troops = and M of
the Fourth regiment at San Francisco. Sew.
eral men have signifed desire to go to
Alaska, and their wishes will probably be
gratiAed as soon as Lieutenant Hunt Sc
cures information as to whether any men are
desired for service there or not.

AN ARCADIAN PASTORAL
Switchman Pays $40 for Striking a
Man Between His Eyes

Charles Holderman is a switchman at the
thrifty little burg of Arcadia. On No
vember % his attention was directed to
controversy Frank j. Smith was having
with one Blake over an alleged Indebtedness
of so cents. Finally the latter started to
rim away, shouting to Holderman, This
fellow wants to lick me-"
Thinking reinforcements We're at hand
for Blake, Smith halted long enough in his
pursuit of him to shout defiance to Holder
man and say, May be you want some?'
The two men were chasing around and
Smith was plainly the aggressor, as Blake
was trying to get away, so Holderman inter-
fered, and getting saucy answers and chal-
lenge from Smith, he struck him between the
eyes with his fist For this he was arrested
on charge of battery, and the case was
tried before Justice Young yesterday.
During the taking Of evidence the fact
developed that Smith had at one time re-
Gently taken shot at a colorcd boy of the
name of McClain, thus laying himself open
to more serious complaint than that pre-
ferred by him against Holderman, but it
was apparent that the latter had exceeded
his rights when he attempted to administer
physical punishment to Smith on account of
his little racket with Blake Justice Young
therefore imposed fine OF $40 on Holder
man, who drew his checlbook and wrote
an order for the amount, his attorney re-
marking that he guessed that was about
right and the whack was worth the money
The colored boy, who was present, was
next interviewed, as Assistant District At
torney Williams expressed willingness to
issue complaint against Smith for shooting
at McClain if anyone would swear to such
a complaint, but no one appeared to want
to prosecute and all the parties to the action
returned to the pastoral regions from where
they came

DOPE FIEND'S RUSE

ceived the dope" to which he was accus-

All over his body, Polbart is covered with
the sores which identified him to the prac-
