FALSE IMPRISONMENT
Officers Talamantes and Baker Charged
With Serious Offense

What was at first regarded as a joke may
turn out to be a rather serious matter be-
fore the parties concerned are through with
it. Those most interested In the affair are
Special Officers Talaimantes and Baker.
and IL the story told be true they certainly
have placed themselves In position where
they may soon have to take dose Of their
own medicine.
1t Is said that some time ago Talama ntes
and Baker arrested two Mexicans out in
Ballona township and without the author
ity of a warrant or the issuance of COM
plant brought them to Jail. The men were
confined in prison for two or three days
without charge being preferred against
an explanation. Naturally such treatment
did not "go down" without leaving a bad
taste in the mouth, and the Mexicans began
to seek some means of redress. Their in
vestigations resulted yesterday In the ar
rest OF the officers on the charge OF false
imprisonment. The warrant was issued
from Justice Bryant's court in BalIona
township, and was served early yesterday
afternoon by Constable Simonds, who final
ly decided not to take them into custody
upon their promising to appear in Justice
Bryants court this morning for arraign-
ment.
What Will come of the occurrence is Diff
fcult to predict

BY IMPERIAL DECREE
Does Ferdinand Habl Claim a Right to
Certain Money

Certain money in amount said to be
about $1,000, left by one Joseph Stohr, who
died in the summer of 1893, has been the
cause of a protracted litigation in this
courts of Austria. and now becomes the
ground for contention in the superior
court of Los Angeles county.
The case filed yesterday is entitled Fer
dinand Habl against the German American
Savings bank of Los Angeles and Public
Administrator Frank NJ. Kelsey. The
plaintiff alleges that in the summer OF
1893 Joseph Stohr gave him all right and
interest in certain deposits made by said
Stohr in the German-Amercan Savings
bank, turning over the bank book and all
record of the deposits and such withdrawals
as were had. Subsequently Stohr died and
the court designated the public admins
traitor as the proper person to handle his
estate. He refused to recognize Habrs
claim to the money, and Stohr's family,
who were in Buchau. Austria, also contest
ed the validity of the gift. Habl thereupon
brought suit In the imperial royal district
court Of Buchau, was granted judgment
and successfully sustained his case in the
imperial royal supreme court of Bohemia.
apparently the court OF final recourse in
that country.
Of last year and Habl now prays Judgment
in the superior court for $1,000 and interest
from August l, 1893.

NOT YET SUBMITTED
Water Cases Will Not Go to the Cour,
Until Today Noon

Until Today Noon
The excessive heat of the day and Judge
Chapmans avolrdupois combined to caust
an early adjournment Of court yesterday
afternoon, and as a consequence the argu-
ment In the water cases will probably moi
be completed until noon today. The exer-
ton of rapid speaking and his tendency
toward portliness gave Judge Chapman a
somewhat tired feeling, and he therefore
suggested that the cooler hours of the morn
ing be employed for the completion of their
work, 80 court will convene this morning
at 8 o'clock.
The day was employed exclusively by the
company, Senator White speaking in the
morning and Judge Chapman in the after
noon. Their efforts were directed almosi
solely toward proving that the contract
was not lease, and that payment for tbs
property should and must be made before
the company can be expected to surrendel
It. Senator White formally introduced for
Hing the application of the Los Angelo;
corporate existence. Attorney Scott there
upon asked the similar privilege of filing
the incorporation articles of the Consolida-
ted City Water company. Counsel for tbs
company had no objection to this, but
wanted it distinctly understood that moth
ing further than the fling n those articles
had ever taken place, as in order to become
effective they required the investment OF
$500 in war tax" stamps.
The Consolidated City Water compan.
Will therefore not assume the dignity of
corporation until the price comes down.
