HE WENT
THE PACE
Young David Manuel A
Spendthrift.
SO SAYS HIS BROTHER
Asks Court to Have Guardian Ap-
pointed for Him--Goes to
Coast Today.

David Manuel is a very rash young
man, judging from the statements
made about him by his brother in a
case filed in the Circuit Court yester-
day. A short time ago young Manuel
came into fortune of between SI2 600
and $4,000, He was just twenty-one
and he started right out to show his
. independence and to have a hot time
while the money lasted.
/ First he sold for $4,000 piece of prop
eTty worth much more than that and
| with this ready cash at hand he began
to spend it as fast he could in Homo
| lulu. 1t is not difficult for good look
| ing young man with lots of ready cash
to find those who will help him do this
and Manuel, for the past month or so
has been living high, putting out about
thousand dollars of his patrimony
each month. But little he rocked.
| There was more where the first few
thousands came from and life was
mighty pleasant when there was al
ways plenty of gold to jingle in his
pockets and there were lots of things
to buy that he had not yet bought
But Manuel had brother who was
more far seeing than he. Antoine Man
uel, this long-headed brother, watched
David's doings with dismay and sor-
rowed for the good cash that was being
distributed about the city so literally
and to so little purpose. Arguments
failed to move David and so did en-
treaties and in despair Antoine turned
to lawyer to see what could be done
to save his erring brother from thus
wasting his GtIhCtanTa in rio
for he realized the little fortune would
not last forever, when David began to
hit the 500 pace, and he remembered
the husks of repentance which must
follow.
Antoine talked it over with ]. A. Ma
COON and he was advised by him to
have a guardian appointed for his
brother. This seemed a good idea to
Manuel and he at once applied to the
Circuit Court for the appointment of
a guardian for David. In his petition
Antoine states that David Manuel is
twenty-one years Of age and unmar-
ried, and that he owns property valued
at $1,000 and has money in deposit with
\. Magoon amounting to $1,000.
Recently says Manuel his brother
sold valuable tract of land for about |
$4,000 and has been spending and sduan-
dering the same and has contracted /
debts against his personal credit |
to about $1,000 and on ac-
count of excessive drinking and idle |
ness has spent and is spending and /
lessening his estate so as to expose |
himself to want.
Nhen the idea that a guardian should |
be appointed for him was first suggest |
ed to David he said he did not mind bur
when he learned that this would take |
from him his right to do with his prop
erty as he chose it put a different face
On matters. He was having too good a
time TO be stopped thus rudeIy in the
middle of his career and he raised
vigorous kick. But it availed little and h
me proceedings were begun in accord |.
ince with the prayer of his brother.
Today David Manuel will leave on
ne Australia for the Coast. His
brother Antoine will accompany him
Dut before Antoine leaves he will give
directions to have the proceedings to
lave David declared a spendthrift con-
inued in the courts.
David will take a goodIy lot of ready
ASH with him when he leaves and he I
proposes to have as good a time as San Ic
francisco can afford q
