that the endorsement was his own. The
facts in the case were reported in Red

George Giles, who held Johnson's note for
$1,000 or thereabouts, endorsed In similar
way. A detective was instructed by wire
to watch johnson. and Mr.. Giles arrived
in Los Angeles Sunday night. Monday
Johnson, Giles and the latters attorneys
went to the bank. and there johnson con-
fessed that the signature on the note
was a forgery. The matter was finally
fixed up by turning the business over
to Mr.. Giles in payment for the note. and

THE MANGLE MANGLED
Miss Lorbeer's Hand and She Gets
$500 for the Accident

The suit for damages of Miss Fannie s.
Lorbeer against A. G. and o. w. Iorbeer
a Laundry firm of Pomona, was settled
am!cably in Department six Of the superior
court yesterday, a judgment being entered
for plaintiff for $500 ans each side paying
its own costs.
Miss Fannie, who is a niece of the elder
Lorbeers, was mangling sheets, as an en-
ploye in their laundry, on September 18th
of last year, and in trying to remove
crease in one of the sheets when brusquely
ordered to do so by the foreman, her hand
was caught between the rollers and badly
bruised and MANNED. She therefore
brought suit for s24S0 damages. The Lor-
beer firm carried an accident policy with
an insurance company to cover just such
class of accidents and looked to it to COM
pensate Miss Fannie. but it held out until
long after the suit was brought, and con-
scented only to a settlement by compromise
when it became evident that the trial of
the action was inevitable.

Judge Eaton Talks of the Indian Cam
paign Of 1851

Quite large attendance Of pioneers and
visitors assembled in Caledonia hall last
evening. The exercises opened with a song
by Mr.. and Mrs. w. b. Abernethy, who
gave in excellent style Away OF in the
West" Miss Yarnell recited a dialect
piece. "Roast Goose"
Judge b. s. Eaton gave an account of the
Indian campaign of 1851. 1t was rumored
that the Cahuilla Indians of the mourn
tains had conspired to massacre all the
whites of San Diego, Los Angeles and San
Bernardino counties. General Bean was
the militia general of the district A COM
pany of volunteers was raised in Los An
geles.
At San Bernardno the people were so
frightened that they had built fort.
Their commissary wagon, mules and all,
was lost in the FL Monte. An Indian run
ner came into their camp at Chino and
reported that the leaders of the insurrec-
tion were prisoners, held by the old chief,
Juan Antonio of San Gorgonia. Antonio
Cara, the leader, and four of his men were
shot.
The Indians at that time destroyed War
ner's ranch and it was reported killed elev-
en- men. Warner killed several of the
Indian assailants before he could make his
escape. Beans company went to Temec-
ula, Warmers ranch, Santa Isabel and
San Luis Rey in search of Indians, but had
no fight, although they saw some very
rough service.
Heintzleman and Magruder's commands
from San Diego, however, came upon the
Indians and killed about forty. The last
Americans killed by the Indians were on
the San Pasqual ranch, where Pasadena
now stands, when two men were killed by
the mountain Indians in 1865.

TOO MUCH JOHNSON
Enterprising Financier's Ingenious
Schemes Peter Out

The curious and unconventional methods
of doing business engaged in by George r.
Johnson, formerly proprietor OF the Giles
Mercantile agency of this city, have
aroused considerable curiosity among
business men both here and in Riverside,
from which town this enterprising money
raiser recently came. Johnson is man of
prominence in the Baptist church. and
came to Los Angeles a little over a year
ago for the benefit of his wife's health.
He is originally from Halifax n. s., where
he is reported to have left many to mourn
his loss. While here he has posed as a
man of wealth. and resides in beautiful
house at 1875 West Eighth street. In Au-
gust, 1897. he purchased the Giles Mercan-
tile agency from a Mr.. George Giles. who
came here from Portland, Or, in the latter
part OF 1896. The business was a good one,
and Johnson apparently spared no cash to
make it sucnesa Money was spent like
water TO put the concern on a better foot
