GAVE NATIVE WHISKY
 ACQUITTED BY JURY
Important Ruling Made by Commissioner Green on
 Last Monday.

Dick Hudson, miner and pros pector i'll this country since '97, was before Commissioner Green last Monday, charged with giving whisky to Maria, native woman.
 Little Ellen, Terese and Maria had visited the man $ cabin on Sunday; he had gone off with the three, and later Little Ellen had laid charges against him.
 There was a jury trial and a speedy acquittal.
 Hudson conducted his own case and testified in his own behalf, and before the case went to tue jury he had surrounded himself by an array of damaging evidence that was only overcome by the greatest good fortune
 His own good reputation was established by plenty of witnesses; but the court refused to allow testimony intended to show its malice in bringing on the prosecu- ton.
 MT. Hudson elected to testify for himself. When asked by the court if he had furnished the woman the whisky as charged, he claimed the right not to answer. IL was held, however, that as he had elected to testify he would have to answer or be deemed in contempt. MT. Hud son asked for opportunity to consult lawyer on that phase of the prop ;osition, which was granted. After short absence he resumed the stand, and when the question was reput he answered that he had.
 This closed the evidence, and the accused briefly addressed the jury.
 In charging the jury the court instructed them that native women who had been lawfully married to American citizens had under the law lost their identity as natives and become of equal standing with American women; and that II the jury found the woman in question had been so married 1t would be their duty to render a verdict of not guilty
 It had been proven by answers to questions asked by the court that Marta had been so married. and the jury had but one course Ogeu.

PASADENA IS LEFT
IN PARTIAL DARKNESS
Several Electric Light Poles Are
Blown over by the Storm

PASADENA, March 12.-The most
noticeable result tonight OF the heavy
rainstorm which has lasted much OF
the day and early evening is the par
tial darkness of the city caused by the
electric light wires being blown down
near the power house soon after &

storm yesterday noon three inches of
rain has fallen, two and a half inches
Of the amount falling since 10 O'Clock
today, making the total amount for
the season 1888 inches in this city. At
Esperanza, where Charles Hatfield has
his headquarters, 430 inches has fallen
since $3.50 yesterday morning and 800
inches has fallen today. The Mt Will

the season 33 inches Mr.. Hatfield is
Jubilant over the fact that he predicted
so accurately this rain which has come
as he had hoped from the coast. The
heaviest rainfall in the whole section
is along the mountains from Sierra
Madre to La Crescenta, precisely in TIL,
region of Mr.. Hatfield's endeavor. He
is confident of securing the full eighteen
inches in Los Angeles by the first Of
May. This storm, he predicts, will
continue through the night and tomor-
row, showers occurring. A popularity
of the storm has been the brisk wind,

So much work has been done upon

over town the wind blew over trees
from the loosened earth, tore awnings

the damage was not enough
to be serious. Orange picking will be
delayed week probably. During the

DAMAGE AT VENTURA
Storm Is severest Experienced There
Since Winter of 1884

VENTURA, March 1.-THE most sa-
we're storm of rain and wind expert
enced here since the winter of 1884
commenced at o'clock last night. A
high wind from the southeast was
blowing and rain came down at inter-
walls throughout the night, giving a
precipitation up to 7:30 o'clock this
morning of .S5 of an inch. From that
time on the rainfall increased until at
noon occurred the heaviest downpour
since the flood Of 1884.
Water came down from the hills in
such volume that nearly every culvert
in town is more or less damaged and
the damage to property will be quite
considerable. At the corner of Main
and Palm streets the situation was the
worst. The water rose so high that
mud and debris were carried over the
sidewalks and flowed into the large
dry goods and clothing store of the
Chaffee company. What is known as
the Ash street barranca got so full
that the culvert at the intersection of
Main street was inadequate and the
water broke over into the street carry
ing with it large quantities of debris.
Ash street from Main became a
roaring torrent and crossings were car
ried toward the sea in the mad rush
of water The precipitation up to 9
o'clock was over three inches.
The Ventura river is higher than It
has been for many years.
Fully twenty families living in the
extreme west end of town or the low
land were rescued this afternoon. No
loss Of life has been reported but the
situation is grave. No trains have ar
rived from the north today.
Shipping will undoubtedly be delayed
for several days. The condition of the
sea is such that no steamers can land.

WEATHER FORECAsTER TALKS
says There Is No Indication Of the
Storms Cessation

George e. Franklin. in charge Of the
local weather bureau, could give only
local reports on the storm, owing to
the fact that the general reports are
not received on Sundays and holidays.
He said last night:
THE present rain began Saturday
forenoon The reports show that the
storm prevailed at the beginning in the
Colorado valley and in Arizona and
moved northward. joining a storm near
the northern coast. While no reports
were received today, it is apparent
that the storm has been moving south
ward with increasing energy, resulting
in heavy rain and high southwest
winds.
To-day locally, brisk to high south
west winds have prevailed. The maxi
mum velocity Of the wind has been
thirty-six miles per hour. That was
at about the noon hour. During the
afternoon the velocity was twenty-five
to thirty miles per hour. The office
records show that the normal velocity
of the wind in this section for the
month of March is five miles per hour.
The highest velocity of the wind In
this county since the station was es-
tablished In July, 1877, was forty-six
miles perphour That was on March II,
1881, and the wind was from the south
west. The greatest precipitation in
any month of March was 1886 inches,
in 1884.
This forenoon at 10 o'clock the dis
trict forecaster sent out telegram
notifying all in charge of the display
stations on the southern coast to hoist
southeast storm warnings. At the
time of sending the messages the storm
was at it's height at Point Conception.
There is apparently no indication
of cessation of the storm. The bar
ometer has been falling steadily since
10 a. M"

STORM IS DISASTROUS
FOR LONG BEACH
Damage to the Amount Of Ten Thou-
sand Dollars Caused by
Heavy Seas

Special TO The Herald.
LONG BEACH, March 12.-Today's s
storm was the most disastrous this
and about dozen rowboats, aggregat-
ing in worth about 10000, were driven
ashore and completely destroyed. The
first boat to go was the launch Elsie,
owned by W. f. Pascoe. She broke
loose about 10 o'clock this morning.
When Mr.. Pascoe heard of her plight
he put out in small boat with his en-
gineer, Walter A. Cobb, to save her.
When they got aboard her she was in
the breakers and when they started
the engine it was of no use.
The boat caught in the trough of
the waves and capsized. Pascoe and
Cobb dived just before she went over.
The latter got clear and made his way
ashore, but Pascoe was struck by a
timber and rendered helpless. The
Long Beach life saving crew got him
out. He was badly injured about the
breast and may have internal injuries.
The Elsie went ashore and battered
to pieces in the sand.
The next boat to go, was the launch
Twilight, owned by Elwin Herman
She broke anchor and crashed into
The pier, swapping in two like a match.
The engines sank and the two ends Of
the boat drifted to the beach. The
yacht Evangel, owned by 1. McCreary,
then went ashore and was wrecked,
and about the same time a smaller
launch, the Victor, belonging to Roy
Stevens, went ashore and was battered
up close to where the Elsie went ashore.
The rowboats were going ashore all
the morning, and by afternoon the
beach in front of the bath house was
covered with wreckage.
The value of the launches is given
by their owners as follows: Twilight,
s21oO; Elsie, s25OO; Evangel, $21OO; Vic
tor. $1,000.
The pier weathered the storm we'll
except that the fish markets suspended
beneath the wagon deck were swept
away; also the steps leading to them.

THIEVES PLUMBER
FORT HAMILTON

NEW YORK, March 12.-Even Uncle
Sam is not immune from the epidemic
of thieving prevalent in Greater New
York. The germ has forced it's way
into Fort Hamilton, and the military
authorities are seeking to recover about
$4,000 worth of uniforms, boots, caps,
blankets, guns, gloves and other equip
ments stolen from the storehouse.
Search is being made for a private
whose duty it was to guard the store
house and who is said to have disap-
peared. Provost guards have been or
dered to search for missing property in
Manhattan and Brooklyn. A consid-
erable quantity has been recovered
from a saloon and cafes in Bath
Beach.
The wholesale robbery was revealed
short time ago when Lieut.. Mitch
ell, placed In command of the qui.'ter-
masters department, took an inven-
tory. Col. George c. Greenough in
vestigated and sent provost guards
under a sergeant or corporal to Bath
Beach saloons and dance halls. Up to
yesterday fifteen places had been
raided by the soldiers.
The first raid was on a Fort Hamil-
toA saloon. the proprietor of which was
placed under guard while the soldiers
worked. Two truckloads of goods were
recovered. In another saloon the
soldiers had to smash two doors before
reaching rooms stocked with Uncle
Sans property.
Recipients of the stolen property are
believed to have made large profits. as
the thieves are thought to have sold
the goods cheaply. Scores of pairs of
muskrat skin gloves, valued at 1925 a
pair. were among the stolen goods.
Much excitement has attended the
raids in Fort Hamilton and Bath
Beach.
