HE PAID HIS SHARE
But j. "Mary Ann" Brooks Was After
the Whole Thing

Attorney Brooks. better known by the
sobriquet u. Mary Ann" was the plaintiff,
through Attorney r. ]. Colyear, in a suit
against Frank Aguello and Y. Lucere
heard in Justice Young's court yesterday
morning.
It seems that some time last year P. H.
Lucere, a barber at AT North Main street,
was arrested and held to answer in the
United States court to the charge of mall
ing an obscene letter. Brooks & Trask
were employed to defend him, and there
was some agreement between Y. Lucere,
Frank Aguello, who are respectively broth
er and brother-in-law to p. H. Lucere, and
the latter's attorneys, by which they were
to pay the attorneys fees. There was no
written agreement, however. The attor-
neys performed their work we'll and their
client was discharged. Aguello paid $40
toward the fee before the trial of the case
and now claims that was all he agreed to
pay. The attorneys insisted that their fee
was to be 500, and that both sureties were
responsible for the whole or any part of
the amount.
Aguello was obdurate and seemed so sin
cere in his assertion that he had paid as
per the agreement that the court disregard
ed Attorney Brooks testimony to the con-
trary and gave judgment for the $50 against
the other surety only.

PAY UP OR GO TO JAIL
No Other Alternative for Defendant
in q Divorce Suit

Judge Shaw does not believe in hearing a
case unless it is presented to his court with
due regard fer all the little technicalties
of law, and this belief yesterday led him 20
refuse consideration of an oral motion be-
cause 1t had not been filed in proper form.
The action was in connection with the di-
vorce proceeding of Louise F. Sargent
against Louis Y. Sargent. The parties were
married in June of 1885, and after raising
a child to the age of years separated in
February, 1897, the wife subsequently
charging that Sargent deserted her, and on
that ground she brought suit for a divorce.
alimony and custody of the child The de-
cree was granted on June of this year in
Judge Van Dykes court, the defendant be-
ing ordered to pay his wife IS per month to-
ward the support of the child. This he had
failed to do in the two months since passed,
- the wife therefore asked the court to
force Sargent to comply with the order
The defendant was ordered to appear yes
terday to show cause why he should not
be held for con tempt.
The matter came up before Judge Shaw,
and Sargents attorney had an answer pre-
pared In which he embodied a motion al
leging that the wife is living at No. 225 West
First street as a common prostitute and
therefore is not a fit person to continue in
Gus tody of the now 4-year-old child; that
the defendants uncle. Long Beach ply
siclan, is willing to adopt the offspring, and
praying the court to change the former or.
der so as to place the child in the care of
this relative of the defendants. This an
swer had not been filed with the clerk,
however. nor had the 50 filing fee been paid.
and on learning this fact the court peremp-
torily ordered that Sargent be committed
to Jail until he paid the alimony as or
dered.
Sargent. who is a butcher on Vermont av-
enue near Washington street. but was for
merry a sprinkling cart driver, dug down
and paid the alimony instanter, and the
widow by grass" went her way rejoicing
accompanied by an admiring male friend,
who sat by her during the proceedings and
seemed to share all her motions a. the case
progressed.

on horse, harness and spring wagon The
female members of the house objected TO
such summary proceeding, but Tom was
not to be deferred by such little thing AS
a woman's objection. so he visited the yard
to discover that only the wagon was there.
Being of cautious nature he did not
take chances on going away to secure a
horse to haul the wagon, fearing that ii,

take the wagon to the station himself II

got between the shafts and started down
the hill with the rig. He forgot to put or
the brake, however. and within few yards
the wagon was racing down the street at
terrible rate, with Tom hanging on with
wild determination and trying to steer it
out of the course of other vehicles. He
managed to turn the runaway wagon into
Hill street, but the jolt threw the top off
He finally brought the wagon to a standstill
and after placing the cover on it hauled the
vehicle to the police station and turned it
over to the authorities.

was a very aggravated one. Hartford
went into a store on North Los Angeles
street and asked Mrs. Ida Winegart, who
was acting as clerk, to show him some
shoes She turned to take pair from
box, and when she saw Hartford again he
was in the act of exposing his person. She
screamed and ran away. Hartford then
went outside and visited an old woman

fined him $50 or fifty days.

WANTS THEM vACCINATED
East Part Of the County Worried Over
the SMALLPOX

DIR. +. P. Cave, of Ell Monte, was before
the county board of supervisors yesterday
to ask that an order be issued making vac
cination compulsory. There are a number
of cases of smallpox in the eastern part of
the county, and as the disease originated
among the ignorant Mexicans of the vicin-
ity, who will not take the necessary pre-
cautions to prevent its spread, the people
are much alarmed lest it should become
epidemic.
The supervisors did not know whether
they had sufficient power to order every
body in the vicinity to be vaccinated, 50
took the matter under consideration until
they find out what they can do The coun-
ty will probably have to pay the vaccina-
ton fee for many of the poorer class.

Was not Insane

Holger Peterson, the San Pedro lad who
has for several days been confined in the
county hospital awaiting examination for
insanity. was yesterday brought before
the usual examining commission in the
presence of Judge Shaw. The testimony
and the boys own story tended to show
that he was no more than feeble-minded,
and the physicians recommended that he
be sent to an asylum for that character of
unfortunates. AS a new proceeding will
be necessary to secure such action from the
court, Judge Shaw discharged him.

NEW MAIL CLERK
Employees Bonds NowF Filed With the
Government


The government has allowed an addi-
tional permanent clerk for the Los Angeles
postoffice. Mr.. Roe is the man selected for
the place.
Employees bonds heretofore given to post
masters will be sent now direct to the gov
ernment. Presumably this law has been
changed to relieve postmasters of the re-
sponsibility, though fortunately it has
worked no hardship on those of Los Ange-
les, as no employee has ever been one dol
lar short in his accounts, consequently
there has been no occasion to make good
any losses.
The time of the mail service for Dale the
new bonanza mining camp, has been
changed so that now mail leaves Dale on

ENGLISH SUMMARY
OF THE SITUATION

LONDON, Oct. 2S.- The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon summarizes the
result Of the British Cabinet meeting
yesterday as follows:
Il. Marchand must be withdrawn un-
conditionally and no undertaking or
promise can be given to discuss the
questions raised by France in regard
to access to the Nile and such like
2. When Marchand is withdrawn it
will be determined whether or not the
questions raised admit of discussion,
and under what conditions discussion
can be proceeded with
'3. Every possible facility will be af-
forded to assist in Marchand's with
drawal by which ever route is selected.
a. If Marchand is not withdrawn
there will be no interference with his
remaining at Fashoda or with the date
fixed for his withdrawal Necessarily
reinforcements will not be permitted to
reach him. He will be treated court
eously as foreign visitor, and will be
regarded in no other light.
"5 Therefore it is left to France to
adopt anv active measures to precipi-
tate a conflict"
The Pail Mall Gazette adds that it
has good reason to believe that, while
Russia has counselled France to tide
over the difficulty and avoid war, she
has promised to throw her weight in
the scale at no distant date for the pur-
pose Of bringing the whole Egyptian
question and the British occupation OF
Egypt to the front for settlement.

PARIS PAPERS ON THE
PHILIPPINE QUESTION

PARIS, Oct. 28.-La Volente, discuss
ing the Philippine, question to-day.
says: 1.-The Americans could well make
concessions to compensate for their
rigor on the Cuban question"
Quoting the Philippine article of the
protocol the paper says; ''The word
ing Is vague and forecasts the Spanish
contention relative to the meaning of
the words control and disposition
,"Spain,"" La Volente concludes, "is
minus money and a fleet to re-establish
order and it would be more prudent to
allow the Americans to do so, Spain
claiming money indemnity in ex-
change for her sovereignty over the
archipelago, which it would be diff
cult for the Americans to refuse"
The Gaulois takes the view that the
Cuban question was not settled by it
self and that by counter concessions on
the Philippine question an arrangement
mutually satisfactory will be reached.
But in the meanwhile, the Gaulois adds,
no decision is possible before the cleo
tions, which is according to the desire
of the American commission.
