LOST THEIR FURNITURE
Muncy and Trundy's Novel Experience
With the Sheaffs

r. E. Muncy and Annie ]. Trundy have
commenced a suit in replevn for lot of
furniture against Jennie L. Sheaff and
couple of other Sheaffs, whose front names
are not known to the plaintiffs. If the
goods cannot be returned they want $500.
the value of it all. Muncy and Trundy had
acquired bureaus, washstands, a piano
and numerous other hous sehold articles
and had obtained permission to store
them in a basement on California street,
near Broadway. Jennie Sheaff and the
other defendants bought a lodging house
adjacent to this basement several days
ago, and in the course of their house
cleaning came across the locked door Of
the cellar. Presuming that they had a
right Of entrance to the premises they
broke into the place and their gaze was
delighted by considerable furniture which
they at once took it for granted was part
of their bargain.
While they were removing 1t into the
rooms of their establishment by the back
way Muncy and Trundy came along and
became speeches. with astonishment at
the manner in which their horded furni-
ture was being hauled away into the up
per regions of the Sheaff lodging house. 1t
did not take them long to enter an ener-
geic protest against this mode of empty
ing their basement, and all the satisfac-
tion they obtained was to be thrown out
of the premises occupied by the Sheaffs.
Finding remonstrances useless they ap-
piled to Lawyer Bacon for relief and he
brought replevin suit in the superior
court yesterday by which the plaintiffs
hope to regain possession of their own.

BROTHER EVANS FRIENDS
Coming to His Rescue With the Old
Insanity Dodge

The Rev. De Lloyd Jenkins of 936 Pasa-
dena avenue has taken 1t upon himself to
aid Benjamin Evans TO escape from the
clutches of the law for his numerous petit
larcenies and offerings. He. accompanied
by another sanctimonous-looking gentle
man who has known the devout Mr.. Evans
for over twenty years, appeared IN the
county clerks office yesterday for the
purpose of swearing to complaint charg-
ing Evans with insanity. Deputy County
Clerk Kutz. who was on to the kind of
insanity which has been keeping Evans
from enjoying his nightly rests, cautioned
the Rev. Jenkins, but he was positive
that his friend has wheels in his head. as
we'll as long fingers. and the complain was
issued.
He told a story of how wealthy Brother
Evans had been at one time and of his un-
bounded generosity. He lost his fortune
partly by giving it away and by being
robbed of the balance. The complaint said
that Evans is very religious and had at
tempted to commit suicide once upon a
time.
On an order from Superior Court Judge
Clark Evans was taken to the county hos
pital yesterday afternoon from the police
station to await examination as 10 his
sanity. A number of former associates
of Evans visited him at the prison and did
all they could to arouse his dropping
spirits. Evans resignation is complete. In
fact he stated in an interview that he did
rot care what they did with him. Yes
terday he got very nervous in his cell on
the upper floor of the prison and the jailer
took him downstairs, where he would not
be left alone so much. Ii was reported at
first around the station that Evans had
acted as # he intended to commit suicide,
but this was not the case, however, as the
man was merely nervous over being kept
in solitary confine ement. The detectives re-
covered some more of the goods yesterday.
They had been presented to respectable
man on Boyle Heights. where Evans fire.

of Evans gifts read of the old fellow s

she TOOK A TUMBLE
BEFORE THE MATRIMONIAL
KNOT WAS TIED
a BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
Laurhable Trial Wherein 75-Year-
Old Girl Is Sued by Youth
of 65 Years

A remarkable breach OF promise suit
was tried before Judge Van Dyke yester-
day, without a jury. An ancient Mexican
demanded damages from a still older
Mexican lady because she had broken the
promise made to take him for better or for
worse The old lady ought to know what
she was doing as she was left twice a
widow during her rs winters. Her name
Is Merced Valdez now, but she was form
erly Mrs. Richards and more recently
Madame Dassaud.
Miguel Linares, the plaintiff, is IS. He
alleged in his complaint that Merced
promised to marry him on the 4th Of Aug
ust of last year, but on the 18th when every
thing was ready for the ceremony she
bounced him and refused to become Mrs.
Linares AS Mrs. Valdez is, according to
the plaintiff, lady worth 100000 he de-
manded a $4,000 plaster to put on his
wounded feelings.
The defendant in her answer said that
Linares obtained her consent by false rep
resentations. He professed profound re-
spect and love for her, but in reality was
anxious to appropriate her supposed great
wealth by the marriage route. and she was
persuaded in her own mind that she had
perfect right to break off the match even
at the steps of the altar. She had remem-
bered in time that Linares' wife had only
been dead a few weeks when he began
pressing his suit with her. Her sympathies
were secured because of the artful manner
in which he mingled tears and lamenta-
tions for his loss with earnest protesta-
tions Of love and affection for his new
charmer Nevertheless while she allowed
the preparations to go on her mind and
heart were halting and she doubted the
propriety of the union.
With an indefinable feeling of reluctance
In her heart, it only needed the cold and
indifferent treatment of Linares and
Linares' relatives on the very day that the
marriage was to have taken place, to dis
illusion the ancient dame. The scales fell
from her eyes and she knew that all he
was after was her property and that he
cared no more for her than he did for her
"zapates." When that knowledge struck
her fully. she put down her foot, even at
the wedding board and said init"
Mrs. Valdez or Dassaud further averred
that a few days after the wedding was
broken off Lnares, by a valid agreement
agreed to and ratified the RECESSION of the
marriage contract, but that there was nc
need of his consent as she was perfectly
justified in giving him the mitten.
On the stand the old lady said that Lin
ares undertook to boss her and run every
thing his own way as soon as she had fixed
the day for the wedding, and this caused
her to reflect. She eaid to herself: "If he
is so rude to you now, what will it be after
you are his wife?" He talked to her as if
1,,l; lor
not talk to his squaw on his wedding day
as Linares did to her. The groom had bor-
rowed $40 Of her which he did not return.
She also gave him a S. piece to buy half
a dozen chickens for the wedding feast and
he returned to her no change because he
said that chickens had gone up in the
market.
The case will be concluded today.

The Price of Crude Petroleum Goes UP

many of the oil we'll owners were only too
glad to unload their surplus oil at from
IS to 65 cents per barrel, and contracts
were readily entered into for six months or
a year at 70 and so cents. AS result of a
decrease in the production and the failure
to strike oil in several wells recently sunk
oil is being held at 90 cents and 81 per bar
rel for present delivery. A few small sales
have been made this week for IS cents, but

The cause against A. Perry, Pasadena
man and an ex-convict, was dismissed yes
terday in the superior court on motion of
the district attorney. Perry forged his
mothers name to a check upon bank in
which she had no funds and obtained
money on it from a saloon man. The fact
that there was no money In the bank dis
closed the forgery. The evidence at the
preliminary examination before Justice
Young was deemed sufficient to hold the
young man, but his mothers reluctance
in testifying at the trial was so evident
that the district attorneys office aband-
oned the hope of securing a conviction.
