PASADENA BANK WINS
The Court Gives Judgment Against
Lacv on ss-Complaint

Yesterday the suit of w. Lacy, Jr., and
r. H. Lacy against the Pasadena NATIONAL
bank was decided by Judge York against
the plaintiffs. The case is an old one, ana
besides carrying considerable property
gave rise to several interesting points OF
law. The court in passing on the case did
not render an explanatory opinion, bnt
merely ordered a decree for defendant en-
tered.
The litigation arose over certain notes,
three In number, given by the Lacys in
1893 On March 7th Of that year the plain
tiffs gave the bank three ninety-day notes
for $4,000 each. To secure them seventy-five
ponds of the Perris irrigation district, sup
posed to be valued at $500 each, or in all
,37. 5OO were given, together with 200 shares
Of stock in the Puente Oil company, aggre-
eating $4,000.
When the notes became due the Lacys
were unable to meet them and secured an
extension. AT the expiration Of the extern
sion the bank again demanded the pay
ment of the notes, but was again refused.
The present action was commenced by
he Lacys. who alleged that on or before
Aug. 20, 1895, the defendant claimed that
1880 was due the bank This they say was
lot rue, as they believe the bank sold be-
:ore that time forty-seven shares of the
PERKS stock given as security. The value
If the stock was estimated at S23,5CO They
asked that the bank be restrained from sell
ng any more of the stock or other securities
eft with it by the Lacys.
On the other hand, the bank filed a cross
complaint, in which it stated that the stock
n question was sold and sold at public auc-
ion. but that. the amount alleged to have
been received was not near the amount re-
.eived. The bank claimed that even after
The sale there was yet due the bank $3.50
and asked that judgment be entered in
its favor for the amount. and also that
$500 be allowed for attorneys fees. Upon
The showing the court granted the prayer
Of the cross-complaint. Since the notes
were given the plaintiff, William Lacy. has

4 Great English Statesman's Secret

It is related that the secret of a celebrated
English statesmans long life was his sys-

put into his mouth was chewed thirty
times before he swallowed it. The conse-
quence was that his stomach never bother
ed him, and he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men ard women bolt their
food. and eat things which were never in

THE INGENIOUS MAN.
His Invention Was Forgotten In Time
of Need.

He was a very ingenious man. He had
made an invention which was of great value.
He thought so, at least, if the world did not,
and he had his invention patented 1t
was combination camp,stool, cane and UNI
brella. The cane was the usual form of the
invention. At big parade nothing could be
more convenient, and for an ordinary, unex.
pected rainstorm, what could be better?
A man is sure to have his walking stick with
him.
1t was not SO very long after the invention
had been perfected that the man was out
walking with his wife, and sudden shower
came up. There were no cars accessible, and
the only thing to do was to run, and the
unlucky pair did this with vengeance,
reaching the house hot, uncomfortable, and
pretty wet.
"Well, we are here at last" said the man,
drawing long breath of relief.
"Yes," said the wife, disconsolately, "but
| think have ruined my new bonnet. And,
John Smith" she added, suddenly, with a
little scream, "what do you think you have
done! You had that old invention of yours
--cane-camp- umbrella affair-in your
hand all the time ready for an emergency,
and forgot to use it."
The man tells the story, and thinks it ID
q great joke.-N. Y. Times.

A young gentleman, whose gallantry was
largely in excess of his pecuniary means,
sought to remedy this defect and save the
money required for the purchase of expensive
flowers by arranging with gardener to let

1t thus happened one day that he received
a bunch OF the most beautiful roses, which
he at once sent off to his lady love. In sure
anticipation of friendly welcome he called
at the house of the lady the same evening
and was not little surprised at the frosty
reception he met with.
"You sent me note to-day" the young
lady remarked, after pause, in the most
frigid tones.
Ga note?" he inquired, in blank aston.
ishment.
Certainly; along with some flowers"
TO be sure sent you some flowers"
"And there was note inside-do you still
mean to deny it?"

Injury of Two.
Pineville, KY, March 22.-One of the
bloodiest battles ever fought in the
Kentucky mountains took place Sun
day morning on Puckett's creek, in
Harlan county, about 16 miles from
this place, in which three men were
killed and two injured. The killed are
Thad Smelling, Josiah Leroy and Wes.
Taylor. They were at neighbors
house drinking when a quarrel arose
between Smelling and Taylor, the for
mer getting in the first shot, but miss
ing, Taylor then opened fire, killing
Smelling. Leroy had been at the
stable, but hearing the shooting,
rushed to Snelling's defense. Finding
him dead, he opened fire on Taylor,
both shooting about the same time.
When the fracas was over both were
found to be stretched on the ground
dead. Two men were wounded by
stray bullets, but will recover. The
shooting is said to be the outcome of
an old grudge which existed between
the Snellings and the Taylors.
