LADD'S GREAT HEAD
Z sxrrLFUL PIECE OF FoRENsIC
ENGINEERING
TWO HEARTS TO BEAT AS ONE
Frank o. Darling to Be Saved From the
Pen and Eva Tredinick to Re-
gain Her Fair Name

There seems to chance for Frank u
Darling, the ex-railway telegraph opera
tor of Cotton, to right the wrong he did
young Eva Tredinick and he is more than
likely to avail himself of the opportunity
now that he can.
Darling eloped with Eva, who, while sne
was well developed, lacked several months
of being 16, on Thanksgiving day from her
mothers house at Cotton. They came TO
this city and engaged a room at Com
mercial street lodging house, where Darl-
ing passed the young damsel off as his
wife. They were caught on the following
day by police officer. A charge OF abduc-
tion in San Bernadino was dropped by
Eva's mother and one of rape vigorously
prosecuted here in the township justice
court At the examination before Justice
Young the facts that were brought out
left no doubt that under the statute rape
had been committed, Eva being under the
age of consent.
The prisoner would have been only too
glad to marry the girl, and the mother
probably would not have withheld her con-
sent, but the thing was impossible because
way back in the eastern states there was
already Mrs. Darling number one.
There was nothing to be done but to hold
the young telegrapher to answer, and as
he could not give bonds he went to the
county jail, where he still is. But he had
for his counsel the indefatigable Mr.. "Ha-
beas Corpus Ladd, who never sallies forth
without blank forms of petitions and writs
to be used at moments notice on any
and all of the superior judges of this
county.
Mr.. Ladd prepared papers in a suit of
divorce in which Frank o. Darling prayed
for a severance of his marital bonds with
Annie, his wife, on the ground of deser-
tion. The lawyer had somewhat of hard
time toting the papers around from one
court room to another while trying to find
judge who was not engaged. On Monday
he caught Judge Van Dyke in state of
innocuous desuetude, as Grover Cleveland
has it, and prevailed upon him to cut that
knot for young Darling.
The trial for rape was to come off on Fri
day, but Mr.. Ladd yesterday made a mo-
tion to have the case continued until April
9Th. There was no objection to this course.
Mr.. Ladd's next move was to have Dar-
ling's bail reduced to $1,000. This will prob
ably be given and then there will be no
obstacles left to impede the wedding, and
the information will naturally be dis
missed.

Main Street Electric Car

The suit of James f. Burns, ex-detective
In the employ of the Santa Fe railroad and

torman suddenly started with jerk. She

below the hip joint and was also seriously
bruised. AS result of the accident Mrs
burns was confined to bed for two months
at cost for nursing. medical attendance

In PasadenaP

]. n. Edgett and wife of New York, who
are guests of the Van Nuys and have been
touring through this part of the state for
some time, went to Pasadena yesterday.
Mrs Edgett took with her handbag
which, among other things, contained $50.
She saw all there was to see in Pasadena
and just before returning to this city pur-
chased a number of souvenirs. When she
arrived here she missed the bag, and al
though a thorough search was made for it,
she could not find it. Her husband returned
to Pasadena, but his visit did not result in
the recovery Of the bag or it's contents.
AS will be seen in the advertising columns
of The Herald this morning he offers lib
eral reward for the return of the money.

in August, 1896, so as to cheat them out
OF their just dues. and as he has nothing
