PECULIAR LEGAL POINTS
An Interesting Argument Spoiled by
Defendants Default

An interesting legal question was ex-
pected to be raised in foreclosure suit
which came up in Judge Van Dykes court
yesterday. The case was that of the Ma
tional Market bank of Brighton, Mass,
against E. P. Wright and Elihu Smead.
In February, 1897, Wright, who was then
resident of Denver, borrowed from the
plaintiff in this case $4310 and Smead be-
came he indorser of the notes. The loan
thus came from Massachusetts, was made
In Colorado and the defendants subse-
quently moved to Los Angeles, the fore
closure was brought in California. The
question arose as to which states laws
should guide the court in treating the case
In the matter of interest, etc. What would
undoubtedly have precpitated a most in
teresting argument on technical law points
was obviated by the defendants default
The court therefore presumed that the
laws Of all states are like those of Califor-
mia and rendered judgment for the PLAIN
tiff in the sum of s4670.35 computing the In
tereSt al per cent.

PRICKETT'S FRANKS
Too Preposterous for His Spouse, Who
Summoned. the Patrol WAGON

Mrs. ]. T. Prickett, the proprietor Of a
lodging house at 447 Temple street, caused
the arrest of her husband yesterday on a
charge Of disturbing the peace. Accord
ing to her statements, they were married
ten years ago, in Lafayette, Ind, but sep
arated after a six months companionship
In the home circle. He was preacher in
the Methodist faith for four years, and
afterwards forsook John Wesley to become
follower of Aesculapius. He drifted ives.
and SO did she.
Some weeks ago the woman who con-
ducts lodging house near Mrs. Prickett's S
place, called and said that the husband of
Mrs. Prickett was sick at her house and II
the wife did not take him 10 her own resi-
dence the other woman would call the po-
lice and have the husband elected Out
of the goodness Of her heart, Mrs. Prickett
says, she took him to her house, and has
regretted 1t ever since. Yesterday he ac-
quired load of intoxicants and went to the
house and began abusing her. The pro-
family she could stand, but when he re-
flected upon her chastity as a matron, she
rebelled. Prickett persisted in his'calum-
ries, so she sent for the patrol wagon and
had her abusive spouse carted away.

TOO MUCH EXPENSE

INTERESTING TEST CASE
Santa Monica Canyon saloonists Claim
They Ae Abused and Want an
Investigation

T. w. Rogers against the Security Loan
and Trust company was the title OF a SUI
tried Yesterday before Justice young IN
the township court. While $l62.45 was the
amount apparently involved, the case Is
watched with much interest by large
number of Riverside county residents
against whom the plaintiff in this case mas
similar claims. Several other suits rela-
tive to the same matter are pending IN the
Riverside county courts, but none are so
far progressed as this one. the issues now
being submitted and taken under aoVise-
ment by Justice Young.
The complaint sets forth that in Febru-
sry.. 1890, the North Riverside Land and
Water company, owner of the North River
side nd Jarupa canal. which runs through
the Rancho San Bernardino and the ia
rupa rancho, entered into an agreement
with the Stearns Ranches company. By
the terms of this instrument the Riverside
company transferred to the Stearns COM
pany the rights to the water OF the CANAL
reserving, however, the first $50 1ncneS
of the water for its own use. The agree
ment provided, further, that after the
transfer The Riverside company should
pay Its proportion of the expense OF NAM
tanning and keeping in repair the canal.
In April, 1896, 1. D. Rogers, the plaintin
in this case, leased the canal from the
Stearns Ranches company, and has since
conducted the business Of delivering the
water in excess of $50 inches which be-
longs to the Riverside company. OF course
his lease is subject to the terms and con-
ddtions of the agreement made in the FORM
er transfer, and he therefore claims night
to collect a portion Of the expenses from
the Riverside company.
The Security Loan and Trust company.
the defendant in this suit, is s;ockholder
In the Riverside company, and Rogers al
leges in his complaint that this defendant
refuses to pay It's proportion OF the ex-
pense. The defendant contends that the
larger part of the expense sought to be
collected is entirely inadmissible as such,
and not a proper charge under the original
contract. In short, It Is claimed that Rog-
ers and his associates have attempted TO
charge up as legitimate expenses $3.50 per
month salaries for themselves when there
is very little or nothing to be done, and
further that certain Improvements in the
canal system charged for have never been
made. AS the Riverside company is COM
posed largely of rancheros and farmers.
1t is felt that the issues involve their rights.
not only at the present time, but for all
time to come.

Thousands have tried from time imme-

for wrinkles and other imperfections Of
the complexion, but none had yet sue
ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now FAM
GUS Complexion Specialists, Of 78 Fifth
Avenue, New York City, offered the pub
lie their wonderful Complexion Tonic.
The reason so many failed to make this
discovery before is plain, because they have
not followed the right principle. Balms,
Creams, Lotions, etc., never have tonic
effect upon the skin, hence the failures.
The Misses Bells Complexion Tonic has
a most exhilarating effect upon the cuticle,
absorbing and carrying off all impurities
which the blood by its natural action is
constantly forcing to the surface of the
skin. It is to the skin what vitalizing
tonic is to the blood and nerves, kind of
new life that Immediately exhilarates and
strengthens wherever applied. Its tonic
effect is felt almost Immediately, and it
speedily banishes forever from the skin,
frcckles, pimples, blackhcads, moth
patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness, eruptions, and discolorations of
any kind.
In order that all may be benefited by
their Great Discovery the Misses Bell will,

Santa Monica Canyon saloonists Plead
Not Guilty

The following petition was filed in the
office of the county supervisors yesterday
by the saloonists of Santa Monica canyon:
1--WE, the undersigned, license and tax
payers, residing in Santa Monica canyon,
in view of charges recently made against
some of the residents Of our locality by
some of the newspapers, would respect
fully represent that the places Of the un-
dersigned are now, and always have been.
conducted in compliance with the laws Of
county and state, and that the bondsmen
furnished by us are thoroughly responsible
1--WE would therefore respectfully petit
lion your honorable body that in your in
vestigatons you will give these facts due
consideration.
"Any changes that may be suggested by
your honorable body will receive prompt
attention. Respectfully submitted.

ity being we'll acquainted with your petit
TONERS and their places of business, hearth
ly commend their petition to your consid-
erat.on."
1t is significant fact that the postscript.
which was evidently intended as testimo-
nial to the character of the petitioners, has
no names appended to 1t. 1t Is quite prob
able that the saloonis.s had an erroneous
idea as to their standing In the community.
and an effort to secure signatures proved
fruitless. The supervisors have been ap-
pealed to time and time again for relief
from the lawless conditions prevailing In
the district, and they were contemplating
an investigation, but had taken no steps
in the matter, nor had they announced,
such an intention.
The supervisors are pleased with the Pc
titioners' expression Of willingness 20 make
any changes suggested, and it Is quite
probable their sincerity will be put to
severe test ere long.
