FAREWELL RECEPTION

Unity church parlors were filled last
evening with large representation Of mem
bers and friends at the farewell reception
to the pastor and wife, DR.. and Mrs. C. w.

In Oakland in few days. Flowers were
numerous and beautiful and tastefully ar
ranged wherever they could be made ef-
fective.
DR.. Wendte made his general adieus to
the members in a very pleasant little speech.
He said a man never knew how many
friends he had until he died or resigned, and
he had met with so much kindness in the
last few weeks and so many expressions of
good will and friendship that he found it
more difficult than he had anticipated to
leave Los Angeles. Assuming more seri-
Gus tone, he gave valuable suggestions as
to the manner of man who should be Sc
lected for the future pastor. He also ad-
vised the members to be loyal to the church
and the principles 1t represents and made
other suggestions In church probity. The

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
Four Appealed Cases Are Finally
Adiudicated

-Four supreme court decisions were hand
ed down yesterday morning. One applies
to case in San Diego county, one Inyo
county, one Riverside and one for this
county.
In the case of Emily Higgins vs. H. M.
Higgins and the San Diego Savings bank,
appellant. the judgment Of the lower court
is affirmed. This is a case in which plain
tiff and defendant entered into an agree
ment to live apart. and the defendant
agreed to pay plaintiff 5000 per year. He
afterward mortgaged his property to the
San Diego bank for $4,000, and, falling to
pay the plaintiff the annuity agreed upon
she sued for 1t, secured judgment, and the
bank appealed the case. The court ruled
that the plaintiffs claim was prior to
that Of the bank, and so rendered judy
ment in her favor.
From Department one decision is hand
ed down in the-case of Flora M Sherman
respondent, VS.. L. F. J. Wrinkle, appellant
The case was concerning conflicting appli.
cations for purchase of certain lands in
1nyo county. Defendants applications
were made previous to those of plaintiff
but the lower court gave decision in ia.
vor Of plaintiff. on account of the survey
or's mistake in alloting to the defendan
more land than the law allowed, notwith
standing that the defendant offered to re
linquish all claim to land exceeding tn,
allowed amount. The higher court rule

A SIMPLE ASSAULT
Old Soldier With Fondness for Little
Girls

E. K. Smith was yesterday on trial in
Department one. charged with assault
with felonious intent upon the person of
an S-year-old child. Mamie Scotto which is
alleged to have occurred at Santa Monica
May 81. A delegation of Santa Monica
citizens. men and women. were present in
court, including the complaining witness
and her parents.
The defendant is SO years Of age, an in
mate of the Soldiers Home, but one who
on account of his vigor and industrious
tendencies, worked at Santa Monica in
preference to being entirely upon the
home. 1t was shown that Smith had en-
ticed the child into his quarters and had
choked or scared her so that she screamed
for help. and one c. Jantzen ran to her
assistance. He pushed the door open and
found the defendant holding the child but
no other evidence of intent to do her in
jury.
Several witnesses testified to the former
good character of the defendant and i'm
peached the story of the complaining wit
ness. Jantzen. The testimony caused
much merriment In the court room. and on
one or two occasions taxed the dignity of
Judge Smith himself. German named
1uCkeTt Created the most amusement Dy
swearing that Jantzen's reputation was
pad. always pad. dat vas all, i'd vas pad"
No amount Of questioning could bring out
why 1t was bad. dat vas all, it vas
pad" He also said that he did not swear
at the preliminary examination before
the Judge. evidently meaning that he did
not use profane language. This state
ment broke the court all up. and the mo-
ment was given over to merriment.
After argument and the charge from the
bench the jury retired and soon returned
with verdict of simple assault for which
the defendant was sentenced to thirty
days Imprisonment in the county jail.
AS Smith has been locked up for two
months already, awaiting trial, his pun
ishment will probably be sufficient.

A Skull That Grinned

The skull of Michael Mccullough, the
hermit who was found dead near his cabin
beyond Cahuenga Pass, was discovered last
Sunday. The head was located about thirty
feet from where the body had been found
several days previous, and was entirely de-
nuded OF flesh. No bones were broken and
there was absolutely nothing about the head
to indicate that any violence had been COM
mitted upon it. The supposition is that
some wild animals, probably mountain
lions, wildcats or coyotes came upon the
body and began devouring it. In the fury
after human flesh some animal severed the
head and rolled 1t down the side of the hill.
1t was decided by the coroner's jury last
week that Mccullough had died of fatty
degeneration of the heart.

MORE WATER TALK
A SAN BERNARDINo JUDGE TO
HEAR INJUNCTION SUIT
MANY RUM0RS IN CIRCULATION
The Mayor Ratifies the Appointment
Of Kays-The Company to
Appoint Today

,rhe water companys injunction suit
against the city did not have hearing yes
terday. Judge Clark. in whose court the
restraining order was issued, did not feel
that 1t was proper for him TO consider the
case, and has therefore invited Judge Os-
ter of the San Bernardino county superior
court to decide the questions at issue
Judge Oster, who Is an able jurist, will be
in the city this morning. and the case will
come up at ten o'clock in Department two.
The argument of counsel in the case will
probably occupy all of today and part of
tomorrow. How soon the courts decision
will be forthcoming is another question.
Rumors to the effect that certain citizens
will ask the court to restrain the company
from collecting water rents and also for
the appointment of receiver for property
and business of the company continue to
circulate.
Mayor Snyder and the city's arbitrator.
]. C. Rays, had long conference yesterday
afternoon, the subject of their extended
talk being presumably water works. and
how to arrive at their valuation That
they agreed on the general points under
discussion is evidenced by the fact that just
previous to the termination Of the confer
ence the mayor signed the ordinance which
appointed Mr.. Rays. and thus ratified the
councils action in the matter
The water company announces that the
name OF its arbitrator will be made public
today, as the attorneys were merely walt
ing to see what action the mayor TOOK IN
approving or disappearing the ordinance.
Whom the company will name is matter
that has been kept decidedly quiet, and the
only person mentioned in connection with
the appointment is Judge Chapman one OF
the company's counsel.
The general opinion on all sides with re-
spect to the character of the third arpltra-
tor. who is to be chosen by the other two.
seems to be in favor of an outside man.
That is, one who neither lives In Los An
geles nor can possibly be identified with any
of its interests. 1t is suggested that such
a man might be found in prominent mem-
Der of the civil engineering department OF
the general government. All parties seem
to be anxious to get down to business. and
the preliminaries, WILL for this reason, I'M
doubtedly be arranged with as much haste
as is wise in the consideration Of such i'm
portant questions as those to be dealt with.
One matter that was quite freely discussed
by a crowd Of citizens yesterday was
whether the arbitrating board would hold
open or closed sessions. 1t was the general
opinion of those who took part in the dis
cussion that any attempt to hold executive
sessions would meet with emphatic dis
approval.

DIED OF APOPLEXY
Siezed With Fatal Illness on a Street
Car

While en- route to visit friend in this
city yesterday Mrs. Lavilla O. S. Stevenson
OF Garvanza was seized with apoplexy and
died at the receiving hospital after being
unconscious for several hours.
Mrs. Stevenson resided. at Garvanza with
her daughter, Mrs. Frank Barton, and yes
terday the mother took the Pasadena cleo
trio line to this city, Mr.. and Mrs Barton
driving in to Los Angeles. Mrs. Stevenson
had intended to visit Mrs r. L. Bib on
East Third street. Arriving here she
boarded Traction car No. lis at the corner
of Third and Spring streets and informed
the conductor, Thomas Robbins that she
desired to go TO lodging house conducted
by Mrs. Smith on Third street. The con-
ductor was not acquainted with that per-
son. but stopped the at the corner of
Third and Omar streets and asked Mrs.
Stevenson If Mrs. Smiths place was in that
Ineighborhood. 1t was not, so the old lady
continued to the corner of Stevenson and
Third streets. and once more the car was
stopped. She failed to recognize the house,
however, and rode on to the Santa Fe de-
pot, and remained on the car and was taken
on the return trip. At the power house on
Georgia Bell streets Robbins left the car
and another conductor took his place.
Mrs. Stevenson rode to the University end
of the line and on the return trip the con-
ductor noticed that she appeared to be Ill
and was frothing at the mouth. He tele-
phoned to the police station for the patrol
wagon to meet the car a the corner Of Third
and Spring streets, which was done, and
Mrs. Stevenson. who was out of her mind
by this time, was taken to the receiving
hospital. DR.. Hagan endeavored to relieve
the woman. but her condition grew worse
and at the end of an hour and a half she ex-
pired in the hospital. Apopexy is sup
posed to have been the cause of death. The
remains were removed to the undertaking
rooms of Dexter Samson, where an inquest
will be held today al 10 a. m. Mrs. Steven
son was So years of age.
