DARLING ACQUITTED
Evidence Regarding the Girls Age
Was Too Unreliable

The trial of Frank o. Darling for rape
came to a sudden end yesterday morning
by the acquittal of the defendant. The
whole case hinged upon the age of Evelyn
Tredinnick, a young lady who certainly
looks at least IS. If at the time she eloped
from Cotton with her lover and came to
a Los Angeles lodging house with him she
was less than 16, Darling was guilty of
rape in the eyes of the law. If she was over
that age she was of the age Of consent and
Darling might have been accused of seduc-
ton, but not of the graver crime.
Mrs. Catherine Tredinnick, the mother
of Evelyn, gave very unsatisfactory evil
dence respecting her daughters real age
on wednesday. Yesterday DR.. Thompson
of Cotton, who had been present at Eve
lyn's birth, testified. He had kept no rec
ord of the event, but his impression was
that he delivered Mrs. Tredinnick of the
child between Christmas and the New Year
of 1881. Such testimony was so utterly un
reliable in the eyes of Assistant District
Attorney Williams that he asked the court
at once to advise the jury to acquit Darling,
which was done.

WANTS HIS FEE
Emil Harris Sues Mrs. Mary Russell
Crandall

Judge Allen and jury listened to the
evidence in the action Of Emil Harris, a
private detective, against Mrs. Mary Rus
sell Crandall to recover 1904 alleged to be
due for professional services, and for board
and lodging. The complaint recited that
this money had been earned or expended
by plaintiff in doing detective work for
Mrs. Crandall in connection with her suits
against her ex-husband, E. E. Crandall,
and against Mrs. Clara D. Thompson, who
is now the wife of Mr.. Crandall, during the
period extending between March 20. 1896,
and October s. 1897. and for board, lodging
and other necessities at 22S West Eighth
street, from February 1 to November q,
1897.
Mrs. Crandalls answer was that she had
paid the plaintiff various sums of money,
aggregating $3.50 for his detective services
in full, and that all she owes him for board
and lodging is $S4, which she was willing to
pay.
The case went to the jury at o'clock,
but they did not reach an agreement
until later in the evening, when a sealed
verdict was returned, which will be OPEN
ed this morning.

ANTHRAX AT GAIT.
Doctor Fox Finds Cattle Dying on
Two Ranches

DR.. D. F. Fox, County Veterinarian,
visited Solomon Kreeger's ranch near
Gait yesterday to examine the sick cat
tie there. He returned yesterday aft
erncon, having discovered that the ia
tai anthrax had devastated the herd. To
a Record Union" reporter DR.. Fox
said last night:
Il found that twelve cattle had al
ready died and that others were dying.
I instructed Kreeger what to do, and
set the example by having fires made
and burning the dead cattle. I found a
sick COW and killed her. An autopsy
showed every evidence of anthrax, the
blood being thick and dark and the
spleen greatly enlarged. I found some
hogs feeding on the dead cattle, and
this is almost sure to give them an
thraX, SO I had them quarantined-"
DR.. Fox discovered that four or five
cows on the Whittier ranch near by
had died of anthrax, but cattle report
ed to have the disease on the Quiggles
place werei in sound condition.
There may be more Of the disease
around than people think" said DIR.
Fox, land I shall feel obliged to any
one who will report to me cases Of sick
cattle, for I am here to give these mat

The Old Work Torn Away-A Mass
of Rotten Wood

Workmen began yesterday to tear
down the three flights of steps and the
platform constituting the main ap-
proach to the city's Art Gallery, pre-
paratory to replacing the whole with
new woodwork It has long been
known that the approach was in a
dangerous condition, but it's rottenness
was not thought to be nearly so bad
as the uncovering disclosed.
The wonder is that the whole
structure did not long ago give way
and result in a terrible accident. How
1t has so long withstood the weight 10
which it has been subjected almost
daily is surprising. There was not a
timber in the substructure that was
not rotten clear through, and more
than half the end supports had wholly
crumbled away.
Mayor Land viewed the stripping of
it yesterday and was surprised that the
thing had held out as it has done Tha
Board Of Control five years ago endea-
vored to have the approaches replaced,
but was compelled to be content with
proping it up and patchwork. BY
the end Of this week the new work Will
be completed and 1t will be good for
the next ten or fifteen years at the
very least. While the work progresses
entrance to the Art Gallery will be
had through the doors Of the base
ment story.

ADJUSTMENTS.

In Mizzouri" was played by the
Shaw company last night to full
house. The comedy of rude and inlet
tered life in the far West was excel
lently presented, developing strongly
the versatility of the troupe, which is
unquestionably al strong one. Mr.. Shaw
probably exaggerates the character Of
Joe Vernon It would be more artistic
work If the old man were represented
as much less aged, and little less
stupid; in fact, Mr.. Shaw develops the
character in the last scene as more
manly and acute man, and less
shuffling pantaloon. 1t is out of the
order that man represented as fully
seventy, should retain the stirring vigor
and activity Of life as the stirring
blacksmith, and with wife who tells
the story of but nineteen years of mar
ried life, which would have made her
husband at least fifty when he married
her, blooming girl of seventeen, ac-
cording to the account Of both of them.
With this exception of exaggerating
the age of the chief character, Mr..
Shaw's Joe Vernon was we'll played
and stands as distinct credit to his
versatile requirements, his ability to
adapt himself to almost any dramatic
role below the line of tragedy. Mr..
Hooley as Dave, the blacksmith's
helper exaggerates that character sad
ly. Dave is an uncouth fellow, poor
and not very intelligent; but 1t Is not
conceivable that he was permitted, even
in Pike County family, to come to
the home table without removing the
CRIME from his face, or that he was
idiotic in his manner. A pumpkin
surely, but not fool. Mr.. Heulett was
the villain Of the play, of course, and
like all work committed to him, it was
given with a correct conception of its
central thought and with the finish of
the accomplished artist. Mr.. Gilbert's
Sheriff embodies the heroic and senti-
mental thought of the comedy. 1t was
well done throughout, given with feel
ing and it's sustained interest was IL
lumined tenderness and manly courage.
Were Mr.. Gilbert less heavy of counte-
nance his assumption Of the character
would be a close approach to the best
type. Mrs. Shaw's 'Lizbeth was
very clever personation of the slow
minded, slovenly and careless girl into
whose life no thought of refinement has
ever entered, and to whose ignorant
mind the ordinary niceties of living are
blank. Miss Saunders Mrs. Ver-
non was one of the best drawn char
acters ever found in the work Of this
troupe. 1t came very near being ideal
in its conception, as any who have seen
specimens Of this type Of overworked,
drag gged-out and premature1y old wo-
men of the rough West, can testify
Miss Kelton's Kate was neat and
clever. a fair showing of what may
be done by the cutting Of the rough
diamond by the apidiary-education
The contrast between Kate and Liz
beth, the sisters, was almost painful in
its sharpness of outline and detail
The applause last evening was more
than generous, and testified to the sat
isfaction Of the exceedingly large au-
dience. The same play. tonight and
for the last time.

ANOTHER BRAIN WORKER
Gives Experience in Coffee Drinking

My work (writing for papers and
magazines) calls for such steady use Of
the brain that, like many fellow work.
ers in that line, I became badly ex-
hausted at times, and naturally felt a
desire for some sort of stimulant.
Coffee I have used considerably.
It's effects finally became SO apparent
that decided 1 must make a change,
for I could not endure the headaches
and extreme nervousness that followed.
Then came the objections innumerable
from the other members of the family.
What shall we have for breakfast in
the place of coffee, for you, of all peo-
pie, are very particular about your
morning drink
I'VE tried leaving off coffee, but for
a morning or two the breakfast was
not tempting.
Then Postum Food Coffee was
brought to my notice, and, unfortu-
nately, the first morning it was care
lessly made by the cook, and was not
at all satisfactory. I determined to

made it that way, and these were some
of the exclamations at the breakfast:
Why, it's far better than coffee!'
What an exquisite 1avor' Delicious,
delightful etc.
''The effect of the change on my
health was magical. The headaches
and nervousness were gone, and in
their place, a peculiar and grateful
exhiliration possessed the entire body.
I was not the only member of the fam
lily that was benefited by the change.
One member who had suffered seriously
with stomach trouble, was relieved en-
tirely in a very short time.
Perhaps you might be interested to
know that there are several of our
friends who have been greatly helped
by the use of Postum. Mrs. Emma
Max used to be greatly troubled with
nausea and sick headaches; Miss Addie
Slight was cured of stomach trouble;
Charles Everson, formerly suffered
greatly with headaches and nervous
ness; Miss Eliza Smith was a great
sufferer from severe bilious attacks.
All of these persons have been relieved
of their difficulties and put in fine
condition Of health by abandoning cof-
fee (Which evidently was poison to
each of them) and using the Postum
Food Coffee.
IT am convinced that your claim
that Postum furnishes the particles of
phosphate of potash and albumen nee
essary to rebuild the delicate matter
in the nerve centers, is true, for my
own experience and that of my family
and friends gives every indication of
it,"
