gerous Runaway

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 2-The now famous
Langley alimony case was decided by
Judge Noyes today after being In the court
Tor several months. The court granted
the petition Of the plaintiff. Mrs Langley,
for an increase of alimony from $35 a
month to SIS. In the decision the court
severely scores Langley for the heartless
treatment accorded his wife, and winds
up with the assertion that many far bet
ter men than Langley are serving time in
the state penitentiaries During the trial
OF the case the past few days Langley
was accompanied by q woman whom the
evidence showed he was supporting in
princely manner while his wife and de-
pendent daughter, In this city, were COM
PEELED to get along as best they could.
The Langleys formed at one time a lead
Ing family of this city, and Langley was
considered one of the financial heavy
weights of the business world here. He
was partner in the long and well-known
fruit shipping firm of Cook G. Langley,
which was pioneer in the shipment of
California oranges. He is now employed
by leading fruit firm in Fresno, and
claims to be without any means except a
monthly salary of SIS, which story neither
the court nor any one else of his acquaint-
ance believes.

Riverside Republicans
At meeting Of the executive committee
of the Republican county central commit
tee held late yesterday resolution was
adopted calling the convention for the Sc
lection of delegates to the state and con-
gressional conventions for Aug 18th. 1t
was ordered that the primaries should be
held on Aug. 18th. The convention is to
be held in this city In Y. NJ. c. A. hail. and
1t will consist Of 30 delegates. Nothing
was said by the committee relative to the
nomination Of county ticket. and this
will probably go over until later, but the
same delegates chosen by the primaries
of Aug. 18th will compose the regular coun-
ty nominating convention. The conven-
ton of Aug 18th Is likely to be quite lively
for the reason that the managers are di-
vided on the question of whether the con-
gressonai delegation shall be the state
delegation.
