OBITUARIES

The death of Miss Mary Eette Leary,
which occurred on the 10th of this month,
at the home Of her parents, 1927 South
Olive street, was received with much sor-
row by her large circle of friends. AL
thought Miss Leary has been very i'll for
some time. only al few of the intimate
friends of the family were aware of her
rapid decline. During Miss Leary's short
residence in this city she has won the es-
TEEN and affection of large number of
people. Her winning disposition, forgiv-
ing and gentle ways endeared her to all
who knew her.
At the time of her death Miss Leary was
in the prime of life. She was born in To-
ronto, Canada, in the year 1878. She re-
ceived her education in Lindsay convent
institutions in that country. Miss Leary
was very talented, especially in music, and
she excelled in fancy needlework especial
ly silk embroidery.
Miss Leary's sickness first started with
cold. and little by little 1t worked its way
deeper and deeper until chronic pneu-
monia set in. 1t was from this trouble that
she died, leaving behind to mourn her loss
kind but broken-hearted father mother
and loving sister. The funeral took place
from the residence of her parents on Sun
day, the 18th. The remains were conveyed
| to st. Vincents church, corner of Washing
ton and Grand avenue, where Rev F. X.
Antill spoke very feelingly to a well-filled
church, all of whom were friends of the
departed young lady, who gathered there
to pay their last and sorrowful respects to
the one whom they all held dear. The re-
mains were followed by large cortege to
New Calvary cemetery, where they were

CONTRACTOR WINS
Cross Receivers Judgment Against San
Gabriel Electric Company

Judge Allen, in an opinion rendered yes
terday, orders findings and judgment for
Defendant Laing for his costs and against
the San Gabriel Electric company for the
amount claimed in the suit brought by A. p.
Cross against j. w. Miller and others for
compensation for services performed in
hauling cement to be used in the construc-
tion of the works of the electric company.
A contract had been entered into by that
company prior to Nov. 81, 1897, with its
codefendants Miller & Bassett, by which
the last named parties agreed to construct
certain tunnels and cement bitches in San
Gabriel canyon, cement necessary for the
work to be furnished by the company free
on boards cars at. Azusa, transportation
from that point to devolve upon the con-
tractors.
Cross began negotiations with the con-
tractors for the work of hauling the cement,
but no contract being executed, on Novem-
ber %, 1897, w. G. Kerckhoff, an officer of
the electric company, induced Cross to do
the work, assuring him he would be paid,
but refusing to give a written guarantee OF
payment. Before the rains came the ce-
ment was distributed along the line of work,
and Miller & Bassett, being unable to carry
out their contract, assigned it to defendant
Laing, who continued the work for time,
but the whole thing being unsatisfactory to
the electric company, they paid Miller &
Bassett and Laing a sum of money to re-
lease them from the contract, thereafter
completing the work themselves, and using
the unused portion of the cement thus
hauled in such completion.
The principal contention of the electric
company was that the testimony did not
disclose the verbal contract with Cross, but
Judge Allen reviews the evidence carefully
to show why he is clearly convinced that the
corporation expected to pay the bill in ques-
ton, while Laing was not shown to have
guaranteed or promised to pay any part of
1t. The action as against Miller & Bassett
having been dismissed, findings and judg.
ment were ordered in favor of Laing for his
costs and against the electric company for
the amount of the bill.

TWO DIVORCE CASES
Pitchfork Cruelty and Dodging of a
Fathers Duty

Alfred Pierce was accused of cruelty in
divorce suit instituted by his wife, Addie,
which was tried yesterday by Judge Clark.
A decree was granted on evidence showing
that he had been accustomed to apply un-
pleasant names to her and at one time
threatened to run a pitchfork through her.
This gentle method of showing his displeas-
ure was not actually carried out, but the
threat was sufficient to hang the complaint
on and Addie can therefore celebrate
Christmas with the rest of the world.
Another pair who got decree of divorce
in their stocking, or rather modification
OF one lately ordered, was L. Y Sargent
and wife. Recently the husband was cited
for contempt Of court by Judge Van Dyke,
on presentation of evidence that he had
failed to pay So a month for the support of
his child. In accordance with the stipula-
ton, he paid SIS to his wife's attorney as
a fee for procuring her divorce, and she was
so glad to be rid of him that she cheerfully
permitted modification of the decree,
freeing him forever from the payment of the
monthly stipend.

where he expended all but 81 of the stolen
funds, and set forth with his purchases for
San Diego. No work was yet in sight, and
back he came to Olivenheim.
There he was arrested on description sent
by the constable Of Wilmington to Chief
Russell, and made two statements, one un
reasonable and untrue, and the other con-
fesson of the whole affair Armed with
this, the chief took the man to this city, and
then by the 0 a. IN. train to San Pedro, where
hasty examination was held in justice
court, and the man was bound over to the
superior court for trial. Mr.. Russell got
back to the city at IL a. m. with his pris-
oner, who expressed willingness to go into
court, plead guilty, and take his sentence
like man, provided the mitigating circum-
stances Of his case should be made known
to the court.
Accordingly, Mr.. Russell delayed return
ing to San Diego until this morning, in order
that he might explain to the judge how
Carlson was stranded in foreign land with
out money and without work, and took
the funds conveniently saved where he could
get them with which to pay his way around
the country.
The matter came, up for hearing before
Judge Allen, who took cognizance Of the
facts related, and sentenced the defendant,
on his plea of guilty, to three years imprisn-
onment for the otfense The swiftness of
procedure was regarded by officers Of the
court as rejecting much credit upon Chief
Russell, who leaves today for San Diego.

WANTS AN INJUNCTION
Sheriff Burr Seeks to Protect Himself
Against Rival Land Claimants

John Burr, as sheriff, sued A. w. Rhodes
and Charles j. Shepherd yesterday to se-
cure an injunction restraining them from
taking any proceeding against him in rela-
ton to the sale of property under decree Of
foreclosure. The sale was made as re-
quired by law at public sale under judg-
ment secured by Charles r. Bishop against
Anna p. Spencer and others, and was
afterwards redeemed by A. w. Rhodes,
who paid to the sheriff $29, ,923 05, being the
purchase price, together with legal interest
thereon from the date Of the sale. Rhodes
made the redemption as Judgment cred
itor of Miss Spencer and claimed lien on
the premises SO sold subsequent to that on
which the sale was made.
On December l3 Shepherd also came for
ward to redeem the property, paying to the
sheriff $34, 1881 for the purpose of effecting
a redemption from Rhodes of the sale, filing
at the same time notice demanding GER
tifcate of redemption.
Sheriff Burr now says he is informed that
Shepherd claims that the judgment secured
by Rhodes was never a lien on the premises
and that he had no right to redeem from
the sale, but is willing that Burr should pay
to Rhodes the sum advanced by him, though
not willing to pay in addition the judgment
held by him to secure which Rhodes made
redemption.
The sheriff asks that the defendants be
required to interplead concerning their
claims to money paid over to him, and that
his costs may be paid out of such money.

QUICK WAY TO PRISON
Norwegian Pleads Guilty to Charge of
Grand Larceny

Chief of Police James Russell of San Diego
has done may excellent pieces of detective
work, among them one which had its clos
ing chapter yesterday in this city, wherein
Anton Carlson pleaded guilty to an infor-
nation charging him with grand larceny,
and was sentenced to serve a term of three
years in the state penitentary at San Quen-
tin.
Carlson is sailor who deserted from the
English ship, G. w. Wolf, which arrived at
San Diego in October with a load of ce-
ment. Striking out on the 2lst of that
month, he came up to- Olivenheim, and
stayed there two weeks. When thinking
the ship had left port he returned to San
Diego and stayed there day and half.
Not finding work, he set forth on foot, look
ing for employment in the towns along the
railroad to this city, going from here to San
Pedro, where he thought he might get a
chance to reship on another vessel
No work was to be had, but he met a
shpmate there on November 9th, one c. j
Edwards, with whom he stayed for three
days. During Edwards absence from his
room on November 18th Carlson broke into
his chest, sto,e $73 in money and left for
Long Beach From there he came to this
city, and went that night to Santa Ana,

weak and nervous. Being taken to the
county hospital, she had taken French leave,
not caring to be classed as insane, but she
had been brought back again. Her mind
was perfectly clear and her discharge was
ordered by Judge Allen.
Miss Bellin has been living alone in
little cottage at Pasadena, too feeble to care
for herself and not financially able to pay
for better accommodations, hence she
brooded over her condition and became
worse, mentally and physically, but friends
residing at Monrovia held out stoutly that
she was not insane, and urged that they be
permitted to take her to their home, where
they would care for her as well as they
were able. Judge Allen and the examining
physicians advised that she accept her
friends hospitality, which she sgnified an in
tention of doing.
Mrs. Rosa M. Haag, young German wo-
man of East Los Angeles, was less fortunate.
She proved to be mildly insane, having lost
baby month ago on which her affections
were centered. Her husband is dealer IN
secondhand goods, and he told how her
mind had been wandering and the appear
ance of her eyes was amply confirmatory Of
the testimony of witnesses regarding her
condition. She was ordered to be commit
ted to the asylum, where it is expected she
will soon recover her normal condition.

A TOKEN OF REGARD
Deputies Of County Clerk Newlin At
test Their Esteem

County Clerk Newlin was the recipient of
token of esteem from the representatives
of his official staff yesterday, which gath
cred in his private office at the noon hour
in full force to witness the presentation.
George Varcoe, chief clerk during Mr.. New
Inns administration, was selected as spokes-
man and made an admirable address, in
which he reviewed the harmonious relations
at all times existing between the official
head of the office and his subordinates. He
assured him of the warm personal regard
which one and all had learned to entertain
for him, and bespoke for him the continued
esteem of the entire staff when, at the close
of their terms of office, their paths should
separate and each turn to his individual
duties.
At the conclusion of his remarks, Mr.
Varcoe presented to Mr.. Newlin the SOU
venir selected by his associates, which
proved to be miniature representation of
the official seal which Mr.. Newlin has used
during his term of office. This was beauti-
fully engraved in gold, the inscription ap-
pearing on the back being, "To T. E. New
lin, County Clerk, 5-lS9S, from His Dep
uties" q,
The seal was made with ring, suitable
for attaching it to watchchain as charm,
being the work of Montgomery Brothers.
Mr.. Newlin, though deeply moved by the
evident warmth of sentiment so eloquently
expressed by Mr.. Varcoe, but no less plain
ly manifested by. the countenances of those
present, made appreciative response, thank
ing his associates for their kindly words and
the token of their esteem, and assuring them
that he reciprocated fully the feelings ex-
pressed
