Samuel Belcher and Mrs. Katherine
Scarpa at II o'clock last night he found
the couple at Belcher's home in the

dooed" to parts unknown.
Scarpa, who lives in Los Angeles,
filed his petition yesterday, claiming
that after they had agreed to separate
on July she came to this city and has
been living with Belcher, who is made
party defendant in the complaint.
The Scarpas have three children, aged
6, and II years respectively.
Scarpa asserts that Mrs. Scarpa has
not taken proper care Of the children,
and 1t is for this reason that he seeks
title in them again. He at first agreed
that she should keep them, but under
the existing conditions he thinks he
should be given exclusive control.

BULLET ENDS PRIZE
BULLDOGS CAREER
Special to The Herald.


LONG BEACH. Aug 22.--"Billy," a
thoroughbred bulldog, the priced pos.
session of Mrs. Della Pringle Tuttle,
the actress, is no more.
On or about August 2 a bullet ended
his career near the corner of Third
street and Elm avenue.
Until recently Mrs. Tuttle was ig-
norant Of the fate of her pet, but was
informed by some boys who saw the
fatal shot fired. According to Mrs.
Tuttle there is no doubt who killed the
dog. Detectives are securing evidence
against this party and she expects to
sue for damages.
The shooting, she claims, was done
by man who was angered because
"Billy'' maliciously and with evil in
tent scampered across a section of new
cement sidewalk which had just been
laid. The slaughter occurred near a
rooming house at 240 Elm avenue which
Mrs. Tuttle had just purchased.
Before selling her former apartment
house, the Ardmore, on ocean avenue,
she went several times to look at the
other establishment. Then one day,
when she had gone to Los Angeles for
rehearsal, Billy went to the Elm
avenue house looking for her. 1t was
at this time that the dog trespassed
and was dispatched
Mrs. Tuttle has expected to put
Billy and another bulldog on the
vaudeville stage again soon. They
were famous for their high Jumping
and punching stunts and had brought
their mistress more than SIS a week
while on the road. With Billy dead
the act is spoiled, and she will have to
make a change in her plans.
Mrs. Tuttle was formerly on the stage
with her own troupe, known as the
Della Pringle company, which she man.
aged for sixteen years. She recently
came to Long Beach to recuperate.
