So DRUNK, NOW
INSANITY CHARGE
JOSE RODRIGUEZ 0UTD0ES
PREVIOUS EFFORTS
EXPLAINS TO COMMISSION
JaiIer Testifies That the Prisoner
Tried to Eat His Blankets and
Pretended to Have
LockjaW

The combination of $S worth of
large quantities in succession, and a
rare amount of piety and love for the
saints caused Jose Rodriguez, a Mexi-
can, to appear before the commission
in Judge Wilbur's court yesterday af-
ternoon on charge of insanity.
Rodriguez, according to his own tes-
timony, saved up a sum of $S from his
weekly wage in order that he might
indulge in one long and continuous
orgy. When he started on his spree and
from coin to liquor and the liquor
transferred to his throat Rodriguez de-
cided that even he had outdone his
usual Appetite; that he was ready to
quit and that he was thankful that he
had had such a successful drunk.
Accordingly he began to give praise
to all the saints and to one in partic-
uar. The pictures of the good people
which were arranged around the walls
Of his room did not appeal to him long
but the little saint which he insisted
was under his bed was the one to
whom he would offer thanks.
When he got down on his hands and
knees and looked under the bed and
started his invocations his family be-
came alarmed at his actions and sent
for an officer. The officer arrived and
watched until Rodriguez had completed
his oration and then trouble started
The officer wanted the Mexican to go
to the station but Jose was otherwise
inclined and, looking upon his wife as
the perpetrator of the action by which
the officer was called to take part in
the scene, he seized his hatchet and at
tempted to kill her.
Yesterday Rodriguez told his story
to the insanity commission with many
apologies for his conduct, but as the
county jailer testified that Jose had
tried to eat his blankets and had pre-
tended to be stricken with lockJaw. the
commission decided that other peoples
bedding would not be safe until Jose
was completely out from under the
spell of the So worth of liquor and he
was sent to the hospital for two weeks
to recuperate.

Special to Tho Herald.
DAVISBORO, Ca, May IN. S.
Potter, cashier Of the Davisboro, Ga,
bank, left that place on November 16,
1902, after having been asked to resign

Fellow. He was also secretary and
treasurer of the Davisboro cotton oil
mill. 1t was reported at the time of
Potter's departure that the president
of the bank, o. B. P. Beall, paid
Potter large amount of money after
he left, knowing at the time that Potter
was going away. Mr.. Beall admitted
paying Potter the money, but claimed
1t was in settlement of Potter's bank
stock.
Besides being cashier of the Davis
boro bank, Potter was cashier of two
other small banks in the county. All
the banks were wrecked by Potter's
defalcation. No trace has been found

Slight Difference in Early Youth Sep

Them Together IN Los
Angeles
BRIDE AND GROOM PAST FIFTY

pretty romance, tinged with life
long devotion, eliminated Saturday
night in the marriage of Mrs Sarah r.
Chaffin to Albert Smith. The wedding
was held at the home of Mr. Ash, 1347
East Eighteenth street, and grown
children of both the bride and groom
attended the ceremony.
Justice Pierce officiated. AS the
stately bridal couple, the groom 55
years Of age, and the blushing bride,
three years his junior, approached the
altar, the Lohengrin wedding march
was played.
The love of the couple has extended
over period of nearly half CEN
tury and through circumstances that
would have daunted all but the stout
est hearts.
Both were born in the same little
village in Indiana and We're reared to-
gether. When Smith was 20 years
old he was desperately in love with
his 17-year-old schoolmate and had
all intentions of marrying her.
A slight difference during their court
ship caused trouble and for time the
engagement was broken off and each
tried to forget the other.
Smith married and moved to Mis-
souri,, where he reared large family.
His property increased in value until
he was fairly well off. His former
sweetheart also married and remained
in Indiana. Her family consisted of
eight children.
Some years ago her husband died
and she moved to Los Angeles, know
ing all the time that her childhood
lover still lived at Carl Junction, Jas
per county, Missouri.
The same grim fate that took the
husband of Mrs. Chaffin carried away
the soul of Mrs. Albert Smith, and, af-
ter a short period, Smith started for
Los Angeles to WOO and win the wo-
man whom had loved him in his youth.
The license was issued Saturday after
noon and the couple entered into the
buoyant spirit of the wedding as though
they were 20 and II years of age and
back in their home village.

the nuisance in some manner which
should not damage the little newsboys
who make their living selling dailies

1t was declared that the men with
the wagons who shouted their wares
in such stentoran tones are nuisance
and that they should be restricted in
the number of volts of noise they be
allowed to utter. 1t is all right to
advertise, it was declared, but it is
not all right to attempt to deafen
every one in town in order to sell a
few papers. The question was referred
to the Legislation committee.

Changes in Railway Tracks.

Many changes are being made in the To-
cation of the steam railway tracks from
this city and running over the new railway
bridge, in preparation for the building OF
the permanent tracks at the foot of 18th
street An embankment twelve or more
feet high has been constructed to the east
of the old tracks, across a portion of the
old coal dump on the 14th street wharf, and
on this embankment temporary tracks
have been laid. These tracks run into the
Southern yard and to the sidings on Mary
freight and passenger stations will also be
built on the new embankments, and the
present site of the tracks will be used in
the building of the permanent line into the
city from the south. The entire aspect or
the city at the foot of 14th street has been
changed buildings have been torn down,
streets closed, until but little is left of the
old looks of things. 1t is stated that 1t will
be a year or more before this work is com
pleted.
Preparations are now being made for the
rebuilding of the piers that support the
bridge across the harbor. In order to do
this It will be necessary to drive piles I'M
der the bridge to support 1t while the stone
work is being renewed. The piles to be
used in the work on the ground the
cars in the early part of the week. The
sticks are of pine, from the Virginia for
ests. and vary in length from sixty to
e.ghty-five feet, and are without bend or
crook in them anywhere. To support the
bridge and the heavy trains that pass over
it these piles will be driven from thirty to
forty feet in the bed of the river.
