THEY DO SUCH THINGS
And They Say Such Things at Lively
Calabasas

Constable Harvey Branscomb of Gala
basas related in Justice Morrison's court
yesterday how he had whipped a man.
although confined to his bed with broken
leg. Justice Newell was the victim of
Harveys prowess, and badly scratched
face bore silent testimony to the claims Of
the prosecuting witness.
It appears that Newell and two compan-
ions called at Branscomb's room on Main
street Tuesday. and Newell and the host
got into dispute over the guilt of Harris
and Cardwell. who are being tried for the
murder of old man Hilton near Calabasas
some months ago. Newell, who is justice
of the peace there had released the men
on their own recognizance, and Harvey
had caused their rearrest. as he said that
he thought them to have been guilty of a
cold-blooded murder The upshot of the
matter was that Newell called Branscomp
a bad name, which the latter resented by
grabbing hold of Newell's left leg and
pulling. Newell kicked at Branscomb with
his rec leg and landed on the chest. Har-
yey then pulled Newell onto the bed and
proceeded to smash him in the face a num-
Der of times They got on their feet, but
before any further damage could be done
the other visitor separated the combat
ants and Branscomb hoped on his one
leg back to bed. Justice Morrison took the
case under advisement until this morning

Excitement and Enthusiasm at the Armory Last Night
Steeres Battery to Follow Saturday
Morning

The government call for troops, long and
patiently looked for, arrived last evening
and great and unbounded was the rejoic-
ing occasioned at the armory. The Sew
enth regiment will leave for San Fran
csico at II o'clock tomorrow morning. In
all 1923 men will go, two special trains hav-
ing been provided for them, which will
permit Of their being seated comfortably.
The crowd at the armory last night was
something enormous and quite unprece-
denied. The great majority of the men
wore happy. smiling faces, and those who
received the coincidence of their former
friends In arms were the members of the
signal corps, all of whom were rejected and
the men welded out by the rigid process
of physical examination.
There were women there-hundreds of
them-and many did not seem happy.
Some are going to lose a son, others a
lover, and still others the protecting hand
of brother.
There were married men there who had
been in the National guard of this city for

Patriotic Entertainment

The Los Angeles public is promised pa
triotic and stirring entertainments at
Simpson tabernacle Friday and Saturday
evenings, when A. B. Darlington, the
drummer boy of Shiloh, makes his first
appearance here. The program consists
Of patriotic songs and over one hundred
scenes depicting the discovery and build
ing of a nation, its achievements and pres
ervation. The entertainment opens with
the march Of the patriots, discovery of a
new world, introducing storm and cloud
effects. thunder. lightning, pyrotechnic
and chromotropic displays. In the second
part 1t reproduces the battle of Shiloh.

tainment was presented at a reception ten

quaintance of none of the men, and will
therefore Judge absolutely impartially.
Surgeon Major Choate has examined the
majority of the militia since last Saturday.
but the newly recruited have yet to under
go that ordeal. These in many instances
have taken the places of the men rejected
by the doctor for physical reasons. They.
in turn, may be rejected, but there are so
many men on hand that there is no doubt
that every company can find for itself
eighty-four good men.
AS the order to Colonel Berry states, the
Southern Pacific will carry the troops. Two
special trains will be at the disposal of the
commander. Thirty-ive men will be in a
car. which will make the number of pas
senger coaches, not including the officers
car, twenty-eght. In addition to these.
there will be several express cars for the
equipment of tho men. What will be taken
along is contained in the instructions to
Colonel Berry, printed elsewhere.
All the companies have orders to be on

years, but had in the meantime committed
what many of them last night expressed
as an indiscretion.
1t was towards evening yesterday when
the brigadier general received a telegram
from the adjutant general of the state
militia advising him that the government
had accepted their proffered assistance,
and that they would be expected at the
state rendezvous by Saturday next. The
general beamed when he read the news
it was the first thing Of the kind he had
done for many days-and joyously he
handed the message to Colonel Berry and
then to Lieutenant Colonel Schneider and
the rest of the officers. They shoCi hands,
| for they were comrades of war no, and
as they passed out into the hall, where hun
dreds of privates and commissioned and
non commissioned officers stood awaiting
| a substantiation of the rumor that had
come to them, these brigade officers told
the men that for once the rumor was
| fact, and that they had been called out.
| 1t can be imagined that it did not take
| many minutes for the information to
spread-not only through the armory, but
throughout the town.
| In another fifteen minutes nothing else
but this call was discussed. Whittier would
| the men be sentafter arriving In San Fran
cisco? What would become of the places
| they had vacated? Will the accepted ones
| be sent to Manila or to Cuba? VIII they
be sent out of the state?
The entire regiment from the time it
! leaves here will be in command of Colonel
Berry. All the twelve companies of tha
Seventh regiment had been recruited up to
| o. war footing 1903 men, including officers,
! but the order from Captain Darlington,
the United States mastering officer for this
section, says company should contain only
eighty-four men, including officers. Ac-
cordingly, many young men will be disap-
pointed. Preference will be given accord
ing to service.
1t is supposed that the shortage in the
number of men in companies from this
division will be filled in San Francisco
upon arrival there, or perhaps not until
they are called out Of the state. Another
purpose Of this phase of the matter Is to
save transportation expenses of men who
are almost certain to be rejected by Cap
tain Darlington Tor disqualifications that
are palpable. The instructions to cap
tains of companies especially requests to
select their best men, those whom they are
sure will fill the requirements. This will
mean nineteen or more men dropped from
each company, presuming, of course, that
the commissioned officers will be &C.
cepted. Many companies are reported to
have more than the necessary 1903 men,
and the captains Of these companies will
therefore have it still harder to impartial
ly select their eighty-one best men. Cap.
tain Darlington in mastering in the men
will be guided solely by his instructions
from the government as to the physical
| qualifications necessary to acceptance by

hand at the armory at 10 o'clock Friday
morning, where they will be formed pre-
paratory to being marched through the
streets en- route to River station, from
which place they depart for San Francis
co. The companies from Redlands, River
side Pomona and San Bernardino will ar
rive in tibet city at a. M, the Santa Ana
company at S:57 and the Pasadena COM
pany at o'clock. The armory will he the
rendezvous. Ventura and Santa Paula will
meet the others at Saugus.
In view of the fact that the men have
orders to take their uniforms and equip
ment along, 1t is probable that the govern
ment will buy these and pay the state for
them, thus saving the expense of newly
equipping them. Many do not entertain
this idea seriously, for the reason that,
they say, the rifles of the militia are not of
the latest make and not the kind now III
use in the regular army, and that the
United States would therefore not burden
itself with them.
Great will be the demonstration given to
the departing soldiers tomorrow by the
business men and others of this city. Ar
engagements are everywhere being made
for something or other. The Merchants
and Manufacturers association has for
some time contemplated giving the boys a
''send off," and its arrangements have been
completed since yesterday. The members
of the association will assemble at the
Hall of Industry tomorrow at O'Clock,
and it is thought that the full member
ship of the association will be present, be-
sides others who might wish to fall into
line.
1t is their intention to march from the
Hall of Industry direct to the armory.
They will turn into Spring street at Sec
end and continue down Spring to tina
armory. They hope that all the merchants
along the line of march will have their
stores decorated.
Their parade win in way be elabora ;e.
brass band will precede, followed by n
detail Of mounted police. Then will come
three engines of the fire department, loaned
for the purpose, and their whistles will be
in continuous operation.
Arrived at the armory, they will rest
until the troops start to march, and then
will march with them, for they are to act
as escort for the regiment to the depot.
1t is probable that In this way nearly>two
thousand men will be in line.
Secretary Zeehandelaar requests the
ladies of Stanton Relief corps to be at River
station tomorrow morning at 1880, and he
will show them the cars to be decorated
Incidentally the secretary asks that all
those who can make donations of flowers
to send them to his office. They will be
turned over to the captains of companies

siasm, and 46 names were enrolled. In
the shooting section Of the Turner's are
some of the best rifle shots in Southern
