JOLLY FELLOWS ALL
Bustillos and He Object to an Excess
of Jollity

The woodchopperS and others around
the camp which is located about six
miles from Long Beach have very DC
cided objection to abstemious people,
and particularly when abstemiousness
is linked on to other virtues. Q. F. Bus
tillos has discovered this to be an abso-
lutte fact, for his life has recently been
made a misery to him and his family has
been driven away.
Bustilos is a big. lusty fellow, appar-
entity able to hold his own single handed
against any one who might come along.
He claims, however. that his neiShbors
whenever they went upon a spree-and
that was very often-would come to his
house and give him a charivari. They
would revile him and his family, curse
the Bustillos, collectively and individ
ually, and make such a racket that
sleep would be out of the question, as
it seemed as if Hades had broken loose.
n Wednesday night things were worse
than usual and pandemonium reigned.
Next morning the women folks cleared
out to San Gabriel. as they were badly
frightened. and yesterday Bustillos told
his story to Deputy District Attorney
Willis. The only reason that could be
ascribed for the nuisance created was
that Bustilos is a temperance man and
a protesting Christian, while his neigh
bors bear a different brand. A COM
plant was drawn by Mr.. Willis and was
sworn to by Bustillos before Judge Ros-
encranz at Long Beach against Juan
Caneros. II. Abil and Miguel Dominguez
in which they, as the ringleaders, are
charged with disturbing complainants

E. M. Wilcox, f. N. Pauly, F. g. Calkins
H. Y. Stanley and E. e. Synge. Wilcox
was sent to represent the new organiza-
tion at Chicago and upon his sending
back to Los Angeles particulars regard
ing a very desirable envelope machine
and an agreement of the makers regard
ing it's capacity, ETC., the sum ,of $170O
was remitted to him for the purchase of
the machine. That was the last that
the local officers of the company heard
Of Wilcox for some time. One day,
about a month ago, three of the officers
of the company called upon District At
torney James and stated the above facts,
adding that they heard that Wilcox was
at that time in San Diego spending
money freely and having a good time
generally with lady companion. They
desired to have a complaint issued, but
as the embezzlement had not been COM
mitted in Los Angeles county and Will
cox himself was without the confines of
the county, that had to be refused. Mr.
James did, however, draw a blank COM
plaint in order that one or the other of
his visitors might take it through and
swear to it at San Diego. Meantime
Wilcox had taken alarm and taken
train for the east. The wires were kept
hot in an attempt by his confreres of
the envelope company to intercept him
before he reached the Needles, but with
out success.
Yesterday it appeared that Wilcox had
surrendered himself to the police at
Chicago, hearing that a reward of s25
had been offered for his arrest. He Of
fered as an excuse for not communicat-
ing, with his principals that he had been
Ill and for that reason unable to write.

there to help Edward Nittinger win a
case in which the latter was charged
with having left his horse standing on
the street for a longer time than the
anti-hitching ordinance allows. Nit
finger had been arrested Thursday af-
ternoon and at that time protested that
he was not to blame. In order to prove
it he introduced Carr, who at once stat
ed that he was the person who had left
the horse there. Justice Owens dis
missed the warrant against Nittinger
and allowed a complaint against Carr.
The latter, instead of leaving the court
room, waited until the warrant was
drawn up and it was thereupon served
on him. His case was tried at once, but
instead of remaining to help Carr out
Nittinger left the courtroom. Carr
knew nothing of court proceedings and
regarded the case with about the same
seriousness as if he was being tried on
a felony charge. He made no defense
and pleaded for the mercy of the court.
He was fined 81.

A SLICK TRICK
By Which Liquor Is Sold in Prohibi-
ton Town

The little town of Whittier is wrought
up over the fact that, while the inhab
itants of the little burg are strongly
prohibitionist in sentiment, the few who
delight in consuming alcoholic bever-
ages are buying liquor right under their
neighbOrs' noses and it appears as if no.
body had authority to say them nay.
1t is alleged that the wagon of Stoll
& Co. delivers Puritas water about the
town of Whittier, and to all who so de-
sire they also sell from the wagon much
stronger beverages. So far as any state
law is concerned, selling whisky or beer
is just as free and open as the selling
of apples. The board of supervisors,
however, has been vested with restrc-
tive powers, and any one throughout the
county desiring to sell alcoholic liquors.
either by wholesale or retail, must OBJ
tain the required permission to keep a
place where such refreshments may be
dispensed. The supreme court has re-
peatedly decided what constitutes the
keeping of a place" where liquors are
sold, and the peripetetic venders of for
bdden delight have taken advantage of
the definition of the supreme court to
infringe upon the spirit while obeying
wagon is not "a place" within the mean
ing of the law, and the district attorney.
who was appealed to in the matter, has
been obliged to deny a complaint against

YOUNG FEEZELL CONFESSED
Webb, Ex-Deputy City Marshal, Will
Probably Be Indicted

The story of Asbury Feezells robbing
John Sparks at Santa Monica of large
sum of money and his being held up"
by Deputy City Marshal Webb is
yet fresh in the public mind. The Her
aid uncovered the entire rascalIy tran
saction at the time it happened. and
the authorities of the burg by the sea
fncontinently fired Webb from his offic-
ial position.
Feezell took the money from his friend
Sparks-that is undisputed-but Webb
was an accessory after the fact. and
this has been recently made additional
ly clear. The young fellow Feezell came
into court, pleaded guilty, waived all
time and was sentenced to one years
Imprisonment at San Quentin. Before
ne was taken north he made confessions
of the exact status of Webb's connec-

tion with the case, and his statement
was made in the presence of Attorney
Earl Rogers. The following is an ex-
act copy of the statement made by
Feezell:

neighborhood of Twelfth street, In said
town of Santa Monica, during the

Willard Webb, policeman of Santa Mon

five (s295) dollars in gold coin, the said
money belonging to John Sparks.
Webb, upon receiving the money. told
me that If John Sparks did not appear
against VIII Emmett and myself. he. the
said Webb, would in that event return the
money to Sparks; but if said Sparks did
appear and testify against Emmett and
myself. then Webb would not give the
money back TO Sparks, but would divide 1t

Emmett and myself.

without threat menace or duress. 1t is
the truth. the whole truth. and nothing
but the truth.
ASBURY FEEZELL.
Witness: Earl Rogers, attorney at law.
There is little to be said in favor of
Feezell-he stole the money and is now
paying the penalty Of his crime. But
there are degrees of crime, and it does
seem as if WeDb's action in becoming
party to such a thieVish transaction.
and that, too, while supposed to be
guarding the town of Santa Monica from
Just such depredations, is the most des-
picable of the two. Feezell's confession

duct under the notice of the grand jury,

TWO WET SUITS
That Are Dry in Detail, Though of
Importance

There are two water suits being tried
at present in the superior court, and both
are very dry and destitute of popular
interest. This may sound paradoXical,
but it is true.
The first is a suit instituted by H. II.
Williams ct al. against the Palomares
Irrigation company, to perpetually en-
join the latter from utilizing the water
of certain springs on plaintiffs land,
and is being heard by Judge Shaw.
The other suit. being heard by Judge
Van Dyke, is brought by Beck against
the Pasadena Lake Vineyard Land and
Water company ct al, to restrain them
from diverting water from his property
to which plaintiff claims an independent
right.

IMPURE MILK
Causes the Arrest of the Man Who
Was Selling It

H. V. Shaw was arrested yesterday
afternoon on two warrants issued at the
instance of the health department,
charging him with selling milk which
is below the standard of purity required
by the city ordinances. The first Of
fense is said to have been committed
on the 5th inst. and the second on the
18th. Shaw is an employe of Gilmore's
dairy, near Sherman. When arraigned
before Justice owens yesterday after
noon he stated, when asked to plead,
that he had no means of knowing what
the quality of the milk he sold was;
he was simply an employe and the milk
was furnished with instructions to de-
liver it at certain places He was re-
leased on a cash bond of $40 for his
appearance next Wednesday at 2

Hard hitting won the game for the West
New York Field Club yesterday from the
Ironsides of Newark on the Miles avenue
grounds. The Tronsides came here with
an excellent reputation. They had de-
feated some of the cleverest amateur
teams in the country and on account of
their being one of the oldest teams in the
vicinity they drew quite a large follow
ing. They went to the bat with Foster
as the problem that demanded solution
and they failed utterly to make anything
like a good showing. Foster pitched an
excellent game and was in first class con-
dition. so that the Ironsides could do moth
ing with his products. The first six in
nings saw them without a run. The sew
enth and ninth gave them one each, while
the West New Yorks were rolling up a
good looking score. In the second a good
bunch of hits and a couple of bad errors
by the visitors gave the home team five
runs. The fifth inning saw a repetition of
this kline of work. Another bunch Of
hits. good running, bad errors and. "a little
OF what looked like a ratified lead on the
part of the visitors gave the West New
York six more runs. Brush, of the West
New Yorks, covered first very we'll. He
had eleven chances and made ten of them
good. He also got two hits and a run.

They were nxiou to defeat the nome

flied the position. He discharged the
duties of his office in first class shape,
giving the visitors only five hits. struck
seven men out and sent a few to base on
balls. The fielding of the Hoboken boys
was excellent. R~othfuss. one of the three
brothers who nave made enviable reputa-
lions on the diamond. did the cleverest all
around PLAYING in the Hoboken's game.
He covered first. where he got a dozen
chances and embraced them all in addition
to getting a hit and a run. There were
but three errors scored against them and
they were made for the purpose of double
plays. with the exception of one which
did no harm. The Pacidcs went to the
bat first and found Cronin a oush prob
lem. They went along in a vain effort 70
score for six innings and finally a man
across home in the seventh They re-
peated the operation in the eighth and
failed in the ninth, making a total OF two
runs. The Hebokens had an easy time,
hitting Wall for the first part OF the
game and scored two runs in each OF the
first two innings. They were held of Tor
the next four innings and again Wall
weakened. The seventh gave them three
runs and the ninth four, which made the
margin large enough to take the heart out
of the Pacifics work. Maher hit Wall for
a home run when two men were on the
bases and received quite an ovation from
