In the Long Beach district, and including
the lands of the plaintiff. The Long Beach
special high school levy of $1.55 on each
500 of valuation was not made until Au-
gust rs, 1897. and plaintiff therefore con-
tends that the levy does not apply to its
lands. and in seeking to collect it defendant
is doing the company a wrong. The same
argument is presented for the company's
refusing to pay the regular Long Beach
school district levy of Is cents on each 500
valuation. the taxes in question amounting
altogether to $350.79.
The company rendered payment Of Its
regular state, county and road taxes last
November, and on Tax Collector Merwin's
refusal to accept them without the school
tax being included, the amount, $30S.4S was
deposited in the Farmers and Merchants
bank of this city, where it still remains. Tax
Collector Merwin has advertised the COM
pany's property as delinquent and IT. Is IN

the courts to order the tax collector to re-
ceive the amount rendered him as full pay

RELIC OF BOOM DAYS
Stockholders Of Porter Land and Water
Company in q Suit

Company in Suit
Judge Shaw is wrestling with the in
tricacies of suit now being tried before
him and designated as the case of William
L. Wills against George X. Porter, the
Porter Land and Water company. the Los
Angeles Savings bank, Jesse Yarnell, ]. A.
Graves, E. A. Forester, J. M. Wittmer,
E. s. Hubbard. w. G. Cochran and ]. B.
Threlkeld. Although brought by one plain
tiff, the suit represents the interests of
twenty-six small stockholders In the Porter
Land and Water company.
This company was incorporated in May
Of 1887, with 524 shares of paid-up stock,
representing $4,000. of which amount
George K. Porter was represented as hold
ing 1886, 900 for 5000 acres of San Fernando
land which he, under a certain contract,
turned into the company. Later, when
a survey was made of the land, it was dis
covered that there were 1874 acres of H..
A separate contract was then drawn up,
by which this land was to be paid for at
the rate of $40 per acre when 1t was sold,
the company to retain any amount in ex-
cess Of $40 per acre. should 1t sell for more.
The years rolled by and the land did not
SELL In March of 1895, however. Mr.. Porter
and other stockholders of the company bor-
rowed 1000 from the Los Angeles Saw
ings bank on the credit of the company,
and Mr.. Porter received s45.650 from the
amount as payment Of what the company
owed him for this 734 acres. The suit now
brought is the outcome of this action, the
plaintiff contending that the land was not
to be paid for until sold, and the defense
claiming that the company bought the land
from Porter and he could not wait forever
for his money
Quite an array of legal talent is employed
on each side, and argument will probably
take place today.

STORY OF A SWAP
The Trade Was Forced and One of the
Parties Wants His Land Back

Judge Van Dyke yesterday heard the
case of Leticia C. Boyce against Hattie L.
Wells ct al, suit to quiet title on 100 acres
of Los Angeles county land. The suit
grows out of quite an interesting real estate
deal, or, as the defendant AYERS, an attempt
to make one. In May, 1897 Hattie L. Wells
entered into an agreement with F. A. Grant
to trade the 100 acres of Los Angeles land
In question for piece of land in Michigan,
represented to have $500 worth Of timber
standing on it. Deeds for both pieces of
property were duly drawn up and signed
and placed in escrow with ]. E. Mccarthy
and W. II Sim. the same to be delivered to
the parties concerned if the respective prop
critics, after investigation, proved as rep
resented.
The defendant now alleges that during
the tendency of the investigation, one Nc
Carthy, confederating with Grant, fraudu
lently obtained possession of the deed for
the Los Angeles county land and placed it
on record. The Michigan land, defendant
contends, subsequently proved to be in no
way as represented. and she demanded the
return of her deed and declared the deal off.
She discovered that her deed had been re-
corded in the meantime, and then brought
action for a quieting of title on the 160 acres
of land in question, and a decree was
granted
Meanwhile, Grant decided the land to A.
]. Like. Like decided it to Mary Bartlett and
Mary Bartlett to Leticia c. Boyce, who
now brings suit asking that the title to the
property be quieted to her. The defendant
whose title to the property is quieted so far
as Grant is concerned, by the previous rul-
ing Of the court, contends that Grants con-
veyance and all the other conveyances are
only for fraudulent purposes, being with
out any consideration whatever.

that he abolish the public nuisance of relig-

The letter asks that If the ordinance allows
them to preach till o'clock, it be enforced.

cellent idea for the preachers to end their
discourse by . o'clock. in order that the
blasphemy of tired workmen kept awake
after that hour might also cease.

BADLY BROKEN ARM
Causes a Woman to Bring Suit for
$4,000 Damages

Judge York yesterday heard the damage
suit of Margaret r. Berry against r. Orsi.
The plaintiff alleges that on May II, 1897,
while she was crossing San Pedro street
at its intersection with Second the defend
ants horse and wagon, driven by a hired
man, struck her and knocked her down.
AS a result of the fall and alleged blow she
broke both bones of her right forearm and
her wrist, being disabled and unable to at

In consequence she lost many boarders from
the boarding house she conducted and was
forced to incur large additional expense.

of $500 is prayed for.
Orsi, the defendant, who is dairyman at
East Twenty-third street, contends that
plaintiff was not struck by a horse or wagon,
but that she fell down accidentally and sus-
tanned her injuries in the fall. The trial will
be completed today.

NORMAL CLASS DAY
STUDENTS ENJOY THEMSELVES
WITH MIMICRY AND FUN
The Glass Song, Prophecy and Will,
Together With Model Lesson Of
the Training School

Class day at the normal school was OBJ
served yesterday afternoon with all the fun
and spirit that usually characterizes such
occasions. The auditorium was filled with
a large and literally an appreciative audi
ence of students and teachers, who were
quick to see the points made and most gen.
erous in their applause. The class prophecy
was read by Miss Frazier, and if its men,
bers fulfill the predictions made they will
all be both good and great The "class will''
was read by May Wright and the Junior AS
were maze the legatees of the usual amount
of treasure and valuable class property.

in what boys call knee pants" and took
their seats on low chairs. Miss Reese con-
Quoted the class, told snake story and
put the mimic pupils through the usual kin
dergarten drills. This was followed by
seminar discussion of the practice lesson as
regularly conducted by DR.. Van Lew.
The points made were numerous and
amusing and the mimicry of the teachers
mannerisms and methods were evidently
perfect, as they were quickly recognized
generously than by the doctor himself
The class poem was read by Miss Edith
Wilbur and appreciatively received. The
program closed with the class song, the first
part of which to the time-honored air of
Tramp, tramp" recited the trials and trib-
ulations of the senior year. The second
part, to the time-worn strains of "There'll
Be Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight"
administered the customary admonitions
and warnings to the Junior AS. The hand
clapping in the audience was fast and fu-
rious and truth compels the confession that
most of the advice was lost onithe resound-
ing air. AT reception the previous even
ing the Junior AS stole the class song and
attempted to entertain the seniors with an
advance rendition. The seniors, however
clapped them down to prevent the prema-
ture disclosure of their combined genius as
poets. and the juniors were only getting
even at the public performance yesterday.

making temporary shops of the Railways
and entrances of public buildings. A num-
Der of insurance men are reported to have
threatened to cancel the policies on va

able quality of the fire works. In addition
to this, the dealers violate the city ordi-

frances and Railways to buildings must
be kept clear.
