HELD ON THE CHARGE OF
EMBEZZLING TEN CENTS

Probably the smallest embezzlement
charge that was ever made in the
courts, of Los Angeles, was brought be-
fore Justice Chambers yesterday after
noon when Calvan Parker was charged
with appropriatng 10 cents of the funds
OF the Glen Holly Dairy company, 115S
San Pedro street.
1t is alleged by the complaints that
Parker. who is employed by the firm
as milk wagon driver, is short in
his accounts the sum of 10 cents. A
warrant was sworn out by the dairy
company charging Parker with embez-
element and he was arrested yesterday
morning. When arraigned before JUS
tice Chambers yesterday afternoon
Parker pleaded not guilty and de-
manded a jury trial, The hearing
was set for June 30 and Parker was al
lowed to go on a bail of $25.
Parker, who is i'm business with w.
E. King at 1922 East Seventh street.
declares that his arrest is the result
of spite work and desire to injure
his dairy business with King which he
started a year ago. He declares that
his trade is cutting in strongly on the
Glen Holly business and they are TAX
ing this means to check him.

LOVE WINS VICTORY;
DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED
Judge York's Court the Scene of an
Odd Drama in Real

One day arrayed against each other
with a formidable petition for divorce
alleging cruelty as a weapon and the
next day reconciled and asking that the
petition be thrown out of court and the
proceedings dismissed, was the short
melodrama enacted in Judge York's
department of the superior court on
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday and
during the proceedings the court sat by
and watched as the love of the man and
woman gradually forced aside their
petty differences
The plaintiff in the case was Mrs.
Agnes K. Henry and the defendant was
Charles H. Henry. The proceedings of
divorce have been pending for some
time and Tuesday afternoon the case
was turned over to Judge York's court
for hearing and witnesses for both sides
were supoenaed.
But yesterday morning all was
changed and when the case was called
The attorney for the plaintiff arose and
informed the judge that an amicable
settlement had been made out of court
between the contending parties and that
they had agreed to live together. The
Judge smiled as he promptly dismissed
the case.
