ANDREW NICHOLS DIES
AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS
WAS WEALTHY LUMBER DEALER
AND PROPERTY OWNER
Despite Heavy Losses as Result of Col
lapse of the Boom of 1887 His
Faith in the Future of the City
Never Was Shaken

Andrew Nichols, a wealthy lum Der
dealer and real estate owner, died Mon
day afternoon at 1886 o'clock at his
residence, 900 South Olive street, after
an illness of four days. He leaves a
widow, but no children. The funeral
will be held Thursday from his late
residence.
Mr.. Nichols came to Los Angeles
from Austin, New, in 1887, and lost
about 100000 in the depreciation of
property values following the boom of
1888. He had great faith in the future
of this city, however. and held his
property at Olive and Ninth streets.
A short time ago he was offered $50. 900
for the place but refused it, stating that
he would sell for $60,000, the amount he
formerly had sunk in Los Angeles real
estate.
Mr.. Nichols also owned property in
Austin, New, which seemed for years
TO be almost worthless, but it has
been Increasing in value until at the
time of his death, it was Yielding a
handsome income. He was one of the
Oldest Masons in the city and was
greatly esteemed by his business asso-
ciates.
The Lumber Dealers association of
this city passed resolutions yesterday
on the death of their former associate
and it was voted that the members at
tend the funeral i'm a body.
Mr. Nichols had been a sufferer from
stomach trouble for a long time and
had been dangerously ill before his last
sickness. A. number of friends and
relatives from Reno, New, will attend
the funeral.

RACY DETAILS
ARE EXPECTED
GORDON DIVORCE CASE TO BE
HEARD TODAY
Owing to the Nature of Some of the
Testimony 1t Is Possible
the Public Will Be
Barred

Hearing Of the suit for divorce in
stituted some time ago by Col. Hanford
u. Gordon against his wife, Nellie Ken
nedy Gordon, will be begun before
Judge Conrey in department five of the
superior court at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
The case was to have been heard
Yesterday morning, and when the time
arrived the court room was crowded
with fashionably dressed women, all
eager to secure chance scrap of Cos
sip from the large assortment said to
be contained in the allegations of Cor
don against his wife and the counter
allegations of Mrs. Gordon against her
husband.
Mrs. Gordon arrived in court at
tended by two young women and
Attorneys Gage and Foley. But the
spectators were doomed to disappoint-
ment, for the hearing was postponed.
It is rumored that the court room
doors may be closed to the public dur
ing the trial of this case because of
certain details that are likely to be
brought out at the hearing.
Fired at Brother Willie
For the past year Col. Gordon, who
has been a soldier since the early In
dian wars and who already has passed
the allotted three score years and ten,
has been passing the greater part of
his time in his office in the Gordon
block, while Mrs. Gordon has been liv-
ing in her palatial residence at 1913
st. Andrews place. Last April Mrs.
Gordon called on her husband at his
office The visit was made at o'clock
in the morning and the woman was
accompanied by her brother, William
Kennedy. Mrs. Gordon tapped on the
window and called out. 1T is Nellie. ;"
Gordon, catching sight of brother
Willie, fired and Kennedy hit the high
places toward that part of the building
marked "exit."
Since that time the marital diff
culties of husband and wife have been
the subject of much gossip and Gordon
finally sued for divorce. charging his
wife with several naughty things and
naming A. j. Montriuel as correspond
ent He further alleged the correspond
ent had managed to get friendly with
certain moneys held by Mrs. Gordon.
On the other hand, Mrs. Gordon also
filed suit for divorce and alimony and
charged her husband with having
tried to flirt with her sister, Miss Mol
lie Kennedy. She further charged Cor
don with having carried his attentions
so far that Mollie was compelled to
leave the Gordon home.
Story of a Snap Shot
Soon after the sister left last year
and Immediately after the shooting ia
the Gordon block, a local newspaper
sent a photographer to the Gordon
home one evening and the photog-
rapher took a hashlight photograph of
the place. Thinking that bombs were
being thrown at the house. Kennedy
dashed at the window and fired several
shots at the rapidly disappearing pho
tographer. A riot alarm was then
turned in and a squad of police under
charge of Sergeant Craig hurried to the
spot.
Since that time the attorneys for both
. parties have been holding war in the
courts and every legal obstacle possible
has been advanced by both sides.
Gordon alleged his wife already had

geles Democratic club, and many of
those to come will in all probability
remain for several days.
THE congressional committee of the
sixth district will meet during the day
for the purpose of planning campaign
that will have as it's directing power
above all things harmony. No one will
be pushed to the front. No one will re-
ceive a setback.
"To centralize the forces of the state
against San Francisco will be our aim.
while it is hard to do much pro-
phesying. there is every reason to be-
lieve that when the committees get to-
gether something lively will be on the
tapis."
Next Governor
When asked concerning any moral
force that the recent close election in
New York would have as regards a
stronger sentiment in favor of Hearst,
Captain Cake replied that he was posi-
tive the closeness of the election would
not in the least favor future Hearst
chances.
although no one knows who stands
a show for the next gubernatorial chair
you may say absolutely that 1t will not
he a San Francisco man. Strong as
they may be there, the centralized en-
ergies of the state, i'm an effort to do
away with all squabbling, will over
come any power they may bring to
bear"

TOURIST CROWD INCREASING
Yesterdays Arrivals From the East
Estimated by the Railroads at
Nearly 5000

Nearly 5000 tourists and colonists ar
rived in Los Angeles yesterday. The
Southern Pacific brought in nearly half
of this number. Less than 1000 arrived
over the Santa Fee and about 600 over
the Salt Lake.
The class of people who have arrived
this year has been exceptionally good.
Their dress would indicate that pros
porous year has been experienced in
the east.
The baggage situation was somewhat
relieved yesterday on account of the
arrival Of fewer pieces than the
average
The sales of local tickets to persons
who are going to the small towns
around Los Angeles still continues
good.

kind in the convention itself.

will battle again. but | do not antici-
pate the antagonism being so strong as
heretofore. We are determined to put
a stop to the bad effects of pickering,
and to that end Capitalization of con-
sentative forces is to be planned that
will endeaVor to head off the Hearst
and McNab quarrel in the convention.
II am happy to know that we above
the Tehachapi are to come as guests of
the Los Angeles club, the caliber of
whose members Is as we'll known in the
north as here in Los Angeles"
Captain Cake has been working night
and day for the successful outcome of
the plan to have the state Democrats
assemble in Los Angeles, and is en-
thusiastic regarding the general as
pect of Democracy in California.
Banquet Club Affair
"Our first move now,". said Captain
Cake, twill be to issue invitations to
the number of at least 1000, requesting
the presence of the prominent state
Democrats at our banquet. Not one
cent will be asked OF Los Angeles cit
liens as assistance in the undertaking,
the expense to be borne by the MEM
beers of the club.
THE notices to the committeeman,
which Mr. Spellaey will have sent out,

idea that the former empress was as
wealthy as she really is.
\ paper in Paris commenting on her
gifts. says that the empress can well
afford to give what she has given, as
her private fortune amounts to about
115.000,000 francs. and bases its knowl-
edge on the following facts:
When Countess Montijo came to
Paris in 1851 with her mother. she was
almost DennilesS. but soon made her
fortune. as her beauty attracted the at
tention OF Emperor Napoleon III. who
made her his wife.
AS Emperor Napoleon received o5,-
