CHURCH QUARREL
ENDS IN A FIGHT
MINISTER SEPARATES TWO
CoMBATANTS
Rev. w. D. Landis Acts as Peace
maker in Corridor of Court House
When Members Come
to Blows

AS the result of a quarrel originating
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
two members of the congregation en-
gagged in a fistic combat in the corridor
of the third floor of the court house
yesterday morning and were separated
only by the valiant efforts of their pas
tor, Rev. William d. Lands.
IT was first rumored that the parson
himself had been taking hand in the
fighting game, but this the minister in
dignantly denied and deputies who were
on hand at the time of the fight ana
who alleged that the minister had been
fighting, later asserted that 1t was the
minister who stopped the fight.
The congregation of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church. however, is, di
vided as to the change of name and
more trouble is feared.
The church was incorporated about
ten years ago as factor of the Los An
geles presbytery. Some months ago ii
was decided to transfer allegiance to
the presbytery of the United States and
when this transfer was made the
trouble bagn.
The Cumberland church was scratch
ed from the Los Angeles presbytery's
DOCKS ana the organization dld not Wish
to continue under the same name, as 1t
would cause confusion.
Name Is Changed
While the church was in this state
the minister and the board of directors
decided to change the name to that of
the Westlake Presbyterian church.
When papers for this change were
fled in the superior court the congre
cation divided. The question was taken
to the church court and as soon as the
decision of the superior court is OBJ
tanned the congregation will have to
answer to their own judges.
The proposed change of name came
UP before Judge Wilbur yesterday.
There was only time to take some OF
the evidence and the case was then
continued but not until there had been
hard words passed between the mem
bers present.
AS the parties to the case filed out
into the hall two of them, said to have
been M. B. Golden, clerk of the church,
and w. M. Williams, former member,
began an argument of their own. Then
a blow was given and the two men
fought. DR.. Lands, who was near,
jumped between the combatants and
separated them just as officers came up.
No arrests were made, but the incident
seemed to create more bitter feeling
among the warning church members.

NEGRO DIES, AGED 1873 YEARS
Caroline Rogers, Born In 1872, Has
Said She Was Married
Fifteen Times
caroline Rogers

Caroline Rogers aged 133 years,
probably the oldest woman in the
world, died at her home at 1905 South
Alameda street last night. She was
a negress, born in Alabama in 1772, and
was a slave for sixty years preceding
the Civil War;
She was active until about a week
before her death, doing all her own
work about the house where she lived.
She said she had been married fifteen
times. Her last husband died years ago.

BLIND MAN PITEOUSLY PLEADS
FOR CHANCE TO EARN A LIVING

and he made his appeal direct to him,
although the chief executive was in his
office at the other end of the hall.
Don't take our little living away
from we poor, blind people," said
Blind Johnny" 1--WE have a hard
enough fight as it is to get enough to
eat and keep some kind of roof over
our heads. There are not more than
six blind people in the town that make
their living on the streets, and the only
way we can do it is to sell fruit and
lead pencils or maybe play the hand
organ. 1t has been said of us that we
make as high as $12 a day, but that is
false report. 1t is nip and tuck with
us all the time and it generally looks
like tuck was going to win"
His words were simple and his
phraseology unpublished, but they struck
deeper note in the hearts of the coun-
cilmen than the sonorous rhetoric and
polished periods of the most eloquent
attorneys who have appeared before
that body in large numbers lately.
The provisions of the ordinance were
gone into and 1t was found that no
reference was made to the blind or
those that tried to earn their living,
however small their business might be.
With the assurance of the council that
he and the blind people he represented
would not be molested in plying their
vocations "Blind Johnny" left the
council chamber in a much happier
frame of mind than he had entered it.

for the owner OF the hotel. Frank II.
Wheeler. Regan came 20 SALISBURY
and negotiated with Saunders and his
wife for the lease Of the hotel aud q,
the same time made deal with them
for the sale OF their property In

1900. II afierward developed that
the Cold Storage company existed on

Mr. Saunders went to work In Hawks

They were convinced that they had
MOB been used fairly by Reagan and
placed their case with Bennett g.

for Mr. and Mrs Saunders had given
an out and out deed for the property.
The attorneys communicated with Rea-
