SON AGAINST FATHER
Joseph Hellman, Jr., Wants to Gust
Joseph Hellman, Sr.

Before Judge York yesterday rather
peculiar suit in ejectment was heard. Jo-
seph Hellman, jr. being the complainant
against his father. Joseph Hellman. ST.
The senior Helman is a Mexican express
man living on Water street in East Los
Angeles. In September of 1898, Hellman' S
wife, Augusta Hellman, secured a divorce
from him, together with the custody OF
certain children, among whom was the
plaintiff In this case. The property now
in question had been purchased by the hus-
band in 1882 but the title has always rested
in the name Of Joseph, jr., now young
man near is years Of age.
Mrs. Holman stipulated at the time she
was granted a divorce that her husbard
should have the use of this property until
the boy became Of age, but the stipulation
seems to have proved unsatisfactory and
the son now brings suit to eject his father
from the premises, contendinfg that his
mother had no right or power to make such
a stipulation. The father not only contests
the proceeding but sets up claim of OWL
ership to the property under the adverse
possession statute, alleging that he mas
had undisputed possession Of the place for
twelve years. Judge York held, however,
that the statute in question might apply as
against Mrs. Holman, but cannot inter-
fere with minor sons rights. The case
was finally submitted on brief.

A PATHETIC CASE
An Insane Veteran Fearing the Loss
of His Pension

Aaron Levy, the Sierra Madre mailman,
was Yesterday examined before an 1nsan-
fty commission, was adjudged insane ana
committed to Highland asylum. The OLD
man told pathetic story IN the course
of the examination, and it was evident that
his delusion was upon the solitary subject
his pension.
Levy came 20 California from Philadel-
phia in 1876 and settled on government LAND
near Cross creek. Subsequently he was
granted a pension of $50 per month Tor the
loss of his voice and an injured eyestght,
his brother-in-iaw, W. H. Gilbert, being
the principal witness before the pension
hoard. On this income Levy has eked out
an existence for himself and family, be-
ing unable TO work very hard and for some
wears he has lived in Sierra Madre. Some
time ago, he alleges. the Gilbefts got mao
at him because he attempted to secure the
arrest of DiAcn Gilbert. his brother-in-
laws son, On charge of bigamy. In
revengeful spirit, they are said to have
addressed the pension department offer
ing 10 give Information which would prove
that Levy was drawing his pension illegal
ly, A commissioner was duly directed to
investigate the matter, and the Gllberts
alleged to have appeared before this COM
mission and made affdavits wholly re-
futing their original affidavits, 1t being
stated therein that Levy was in full pos
session of Ills voice and health when he
came to California in 1876. 1t was further
set forth that the old soldier used to sing
and dance for whisky in the saloons OF
Cross creek and that he at that time had
perfectly sound eyes. The affidavitc also
minated that the pensioners disabilities
were due to period Of dissipation while
he was in San Francisco.
Levy learned OF the filing of these affida-
Wits and the action so worried him as to
prevent rest and sleep for weeks. Accord
ing to his statement yesterday and let
ter which he prepared for publication, his
mind gave way on Tuesday, and while
in front of his home he Imagined he saw
his enemies, The Gilberts, heating iron
bands TO white heat In a great fire they
had built in the orchard. His mind next
told him the bands were to be used to
bind him and his family to the North
pole Not being able to stand such a
prospect with Indifference, he ran into the
house got shotgun and fired twice at the
conspirators. He then went back to the
house, barricaded all doors and windows
and held the fort with the shotgun, re-
volver and an axe. The subsequent arrival
Of Deputy Sheriff Barnhill and his capture
have all been told.
Since being al the county hospital Levy
states that he had another vision, in which
his enemies were trying to drive iron spikes
in his head. The man apparently realized
that these were the Authorizations Of de-
mented mind, and did not protest when he
was adjudged insane and ordered COM
n,itted. Judge Yorke assured him he
would probably be discharged in few
weeks. In all the converse ton Levy talked
only in a whisper and stated thai he has
net spoken a loud word since 1875, when
he fell from a building thirty feet high
