pretense of such an election as
was held about a month ago.
They did not deem that election

county hoard kept the dispensary
open for nearly a month after the
election was held, and closed it
because they received what they

Ihree automobiles aggregating many
thousand dollars in value covered with
canvas busters and serving as haunts
for rats, spiders and stray chickens in
handsome barn on South Main street,
this is the result of $3.50 fine imposed
by Justice Chambers several days ago
upon M. II. Hancock, wealthy manu-
facturer.
A clerk in the clearing house is still
wondering what caused the following
inscription upon check which he re-
ceived from Clerk Martin of the police
court yesterday morning: For driving
at the rate of sixty miles an hour on
Main street" was the inscription, but
the check was in the name of M. T.
Hancock and not to be disputed.
Mr. Hancock left for San Francisco
yesterday at outs with the world in
general and Los Angeles in particular.
II am going to a place where 1 can
spend at least part of my money
where it will be appreciated" were his
words as he locked up his new barn
and started for the station.
The barn has just been completed
and into it were rolled the three ma
chimes. "I will race in Los Angeles no
more" said Mr.. Hancock, for when l
am asked to race an airship and am
doing so for the good of science I do
not expect to be hauled before a police
court. That officer, Roy Allen, has
good eyes and although I was going at
a rate of nearly fifty miles an hour, he
saw the number on the back of the
machine and I was compelled to go to
court. When I entered that court
thought of visit had once made to
Chutes park. At that time when a
fellow came into the park with bar
row full of meat and wheeled it up in
front of the animal cages there was a
fierce look of hunger in the faces of the
animals.
"When 1 entered that court it struck
me that there was the same look OF
hunger in the faces of the court Of
ficials. Each one looked as if he ex-
pected to get chunk out of the poor
carcass that had been rendered help
less, not because ne nau DroheH TIE
law more than anyone else who drives
automobiles in Los Angeles, because
they all go faster than twelve miles an
hour, but because it was said he was
going at terrific speed.
1T would have won that race against
Baldwin's ship if I had been allowed
to- go at a proper speed through the
downtown streets, but as it is a chauf-
feur is out of work and the local
garages minus much money for repairs
and I will no more thread the thor
oughfares of Los Angeles with my ma
Chimes"
Putting the key Of his new barn in
his pocket, Mr. Hancock, accompanied
by his secretary, departed for the rail-
road station.

Luck Comes Later

j. w. Judd, proprietor of the Ascot
saloon at GIG South Spring street,
went out to the race track yesterday
afternoon to back the ponies" and
went home $500 to the good. Desiring
to celebrate his good fortune he called
at prominent jewelers. and purchased
magnificent diamond stud, paying
$3.50 for the same.
A couple of hours later he betoolS
himself to the Palace cafe where he
met some friends, and the group sat
down and were soon in a jolly mood.
Wishing to display his diamond Judd
took 1t off and passed it around for the
admiration of his friends
The gem went from hand to hand
and Judd lost track of it, but when
he thought it was time that 1t should
be returned to him he asked for it, but
each man in the crowd declared that
he had passed it on, and the diamond
could not be found.
Judd told his tale of woe to the de-
tectives but there seems to be small
likelihood of the thief being appre-

and then plunged down the dark and
narrow stairways to the street.

yesterday she asked Judge York in the
superior court to free her from the
matrimonial compact existing between
herself and Hugh S. Dumbell, rail-
road conductor.
1t appears from the story unfolded
to the court that Dumbell previous tc
the day Of his marriage belonged to
the Purity league, and he is said to
have been leading light in prohibi-
tion politics.
But the day Dumbell took unto him.

proceeded to celebrate the event by
putting away large quantities of intoxi-

On the second day subsequent to the
marriage, Dumbell, it is said, again in

His happiness knew no bounds, and
according to Mrs. Dumbells story, he
was under the influence of liquor al
most continuously from the day of the
marriage until few months ago, when
he left for the north.
Mrs. Dumbell made an effort to To-
cate her spouse, and after diligent
search she located him in Klondike
where he went in search of hidden
wealth.

Dumbell refused to answer the letters
and, becoming indignant at such con-
duct, Mrs. Dumbell applied for q
divorce. Judge York held that mar
riage is a happy institution and should
be treated as such, but in this case
the court held that the husband had
selected an improper mode of celebrat-
ing the event and the divorce was
granted.
