CHURCH FLAG RAISING
Simpson Tabernacle Floats Old Glory.
Patriotic Exercises

Simpson tabernacle has the honor to be
the second church in the city to fly flag
from its steeple and the first one, since war

ing the flag raising yesterday afternoon,

with a good-sized audience present. Mr..

audience in singing America" Mrs. Colby
sang the 'Star Spangled Banner
DR.. Hartley presented the flag, on behalf
of the members of the church, reviewing
its history in brief, spirited and patriotic
speech, closing with the hope that it will
float from the spire of Simpson as it floats
from every school house in the land. r. c.
Hunt accepted it on behalf of the board of
trustees. in a short address. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. Hunt said he loved the
flag because he had followed it into thirty
seven battles and skirmishes of the civil
war, through all of Grants campaigns and
from Atlanta. to the sea, to the grand re-
view at Washington a its close. He loved
it because he had endured the hardships
made the sacrifices of a soldiers life and
came out unscathed. In the absence of Mrs.
Fuller Rev. Mr.. Worth sang "Cuba Shall
Be Free" after which the flag was run up
on the staff and gracefully unfurled to the

SPANISH BEAUTY DIVORCED
Another Chapter Added to the Stormy
Career of Mrs. Erolinda Goodwin

Mrs. Erolinda j. Goodwin, alias the
spanish beauty" was granted divorce
from her latest husband, Bernard E. Good
win, yesterday by Judge Shaw, on the
ground of extreme cruelty. The case went
by default Mrs Goodwin has had pretty
rocky existence in his city where she was
born some thirty years ago. A good many
years ago she attempted to shoot promi-
nent citizen in the postoffice on Spring
street on the ground of seduction and was
tried for it. Later she had number of es-
capades among which was that of harbor-
ing the youthful husband from whom she
has Just been divorced against the will of
the parents. On account of this liaison
Goodwin's father had the young man ar
rested for vagrancy and he was imprisoned.
The Spanish beauty seemed completely
infatuated with her blacksmith, and moth
ing would suit her but marriage with him
and this took place on May 23, 1896. Not
withstanding that Erolinda had not bought
a pig in a poke or cat in bag, her pre-
sumption that the honeymoon was going
to last forever was sadly dispelleG when
the blacksmith began to use her as an anvil
and hammered her with considerable
vigor upon the slightest provocation.
Among the instances of Goodwin's cruelty
which Erolinda laid before the considera-
ton of the court was the way he wished her
a happy new year on the first of January
last. He struck her three times with his
fist, knocked her down and blackened her
eyes at her dressamker's, corner of First
and Vignes streets. After that he only
called her bad names and slapped her until
the final outbreak which happened on Feb
ruary 7th. 1t was raining that night and
Goodwin came home on Banning street
with boiling jag on. AS she wouldn't let
him in he broke in the door and fired her
and her 14-year-old daughter out of the
house in the damp air and muddy street,
with nothing on but their night clothes and
they had to seek refuge, clad as they were,
in the house of Mrs. Goodwin's brother on
Brooklyn Heights. He gave her another
beating on February 21st and then she gave
him the shake.

BASSETT'S FAD
Hating to Vote, He Registered Neither
in Texas or California

Judge Clark yesterday appointed the pub
lie administrator as administrator of the
estate of o. T. Bassett, who died in Ell
Paso on January I'd. Bassett left one son,
II years old, and considerable realty both
in Texas and in this county. He was man
who didn't register. To citizens of Texas
he said that he was a citizen of Cali
fornia, and to the people of Gardena, where
he had a ranch, and to those of this city he
gave the impression that his permanent
residence was on the border of the Rio
Grande. l.. w. Blinn, the guardian of the
California estate, petitioned for letters of
administration to that part of Bassetts
estate, alleging that the deceased had
been a resident of the state of Texas dur
ing his lifetime. The petition was con-
tested by Public Administrator Kelsey
The court held that the latter had the bet
ter right to act.
It seems that Bassetts divergent state
ments as to his citizenship were caused
by disinclination to be bothered by poll
ticians for his vote. In Ell Paso his voting
precinct was located at Gardena, and when
he was at the strawberry factory of the
world" he claimed that he did his voting
early and often at FL Paso. While he was
and had been in business at Ell Paso for

MS PULL DOES NOT GO
WITH COL. WILLIAMS, ASSIST
ANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY
HOFFMAN MUST STAND TRIAL
For Blackmailing Butcher by Threat
ening, to Accuse Him of Selling
Rotten Meat

The trial of j. p. Hoffman of Pasadena,
who is accused of a felony by Detective
Auble was continued until today by Judge
Smith. 1t is alleged that Hoffman pro-
cured some diseased and unwholesome
meat somewhere and then made up a
scheme by which he should be able to
blackmail Simon Maier, the wholesale
butcher He came to the Natick house with
his family and sent word to Maier that he
wished to speak to him on March 9Th of this
wear. When the butcher called Hoffman
accused him of having sold diseased meat
and that unless he gave up $500 he would
be exposed. Maier pretended to be scared
and promised to pay up. He called the po-
lice to his assistance who saw him pay over
the sum to Hoffman. The latter was not
aware that his actions were being watched
and he was very much surprised when ar
rested for blackmail. He has been out on
bail ever since his examination.
Strenuous efforts have been made to have
the case dismissed before it came to trial
and the information came nearly being dis
missed during Judge Smiths absence.
Deputy District Attorney McComas asked
Judge Allen. sitting for Judge Smith to dis

PERKINS, WATER
Is Not Forthcoming as Per Contract So
He Wants to Give Up His Land

Ephraim Perrin wants to have the su-
peror court cancel a contract that he made
with the Pomona Land and Water COM
pany and asks for the return of the money
he paid down for the purchase of two
acre lot in the San Antonio tract on Octo-
ber 29 1890. Perrin alleges that the defend
ants falsely represented to him that he
had the right to a perpetual flow of one
miners inch of water from already devel-
oped, permanent and perpetually flowing
wells, if he bought the ten-acre tract
and that 100 shares of stock in the Del
Monte Irrigation company represented
that inch.
Perrin paid $500 at the time. and since
then has made additional payments aggre-
eating altogether s1675.40. Instead of get
ting his inch of water regularly the plain
tiff claims that it has been very much
wanting and wholly ceases to flow during
the irrigation season, and he says that this
is due to the diversion by the defendant
of a large quantity of the water into other
channels.
