COURT PROCEEDINGS.
Record of Cases Tried, Both Criminal and Civil,
Since last Weeks Issue,

Record Of Cases Tried. Both Criminal and Civil,
Since Last Weeks Issue,
When we went to press last week the
court was engaged in trying the case
against W. G. Dickinson, charged with
poisoning Ben F. Reed. A number of
witnesses were examined, but the State
never had any chance of convicting the
defendant. All the testimony in this
case has been gone over in these columns,
and nothing new was brought out at the
trial. The jury only remained in their
room long enough to prepare verdict
of not guilty. They were out only few
minutes-exactly seven minutes 80 We
understand.
Elliott Jones, negro who was con-
victed Of larceny of live stock, was sent
enced to 13 months on the chain gang.
His case was appealed to the Supreme
Court and he was granted bond in the
sum of $500. b. c. Folk went on his bond.
No other criminal cases were tried, and
civil cases were taken up.
S. D. Guess against the Southern Rail-
way resulted in verdict for the railroad.
This was suit for damages for burning
barn, claimed to have been set by.
sparks from railroad engine. This was
the third trial. In the two former trials
the jury could not agree and mistrials
were ordered. :
John F. Folk against the Southern
Railway was tried, and the jury rendered
verdict of $500 for the plaintiff. This
was also a damage suit for burning wood
land, set by sparks from an engine. A
motion for a new trial was made, but the
judge refused it.
E. A. Smoak and A. L. Wilson against
the Southern Railway resulted in yer.
dict of $3.50 for Mrs. Smoak, and for the
railroad in the Wilson case. This was<a
suit for damages for killing a mule and
wrecking wagon. Mr.. Wilson was ina
wagon coming to Bamberg and was
struck by the up passenger train at the
Midway crossing. Mrs. Smoak bought
the suit to recover for killing the mule,
and Mr.. Wilson sued to recover for per.
sonal injuries sustained. he was thrown
out of the wagon and bruised up.
The cases of John Minnigan against
the Southern Railway, and J. F. Carroll
against John F. Folk were discontinued.
Ellis Fielder as guardian for Thomas
Fielder, against the Southern Railway,
resulted in verdict of $500 damages for
the plaintiff.
This concluded all the business Of court
for last week. Monday morning the case
of J. D. Copeland against the Southern
Railway was tried. A verdict for the
plaintiff for $450.25 was rendered. This
was suit to recover for cotton burned
in the depot fire here last fall.
A number of other civil cases were to
tried, but had to be postponed for one
reason or another Considerable equity
business was transacted, number Of
orders were taken, few appeals from
courts Of magistrates were heard, and
court adjourned about midday Monday.

Florence Wins the Location by an Offer Of Fifty
Acres and $4,000 Cash.

The board of directors of the reforma'

MANY WIVES SEEK
HUSBAND ESTATE
DR.. E. w. ALDRIcH SAID TO
HAVE MARRIED NINE TIMES
Legal Tangle Promises Eventually
to Be Strengthened Out in
Spit of Present COM
pllcations

The question OF heirship to the $4,000
estate left by the late DIR. Ellerton w.
Aldrich of Los Angeles was argued be-
fore Judge Gibbs in department 2 Of
the superior court yesterday by attor-
neys representing the contesting
widows, and at a late hour in the day
1t was submitted on briefs.
Although the Aldrich estate is claimed
by five heirs. DIR. Aldrich was said to
have been married nine times, and
seven Of his widows will be remem-
bered when the estate is finally pro-
bated.
According to the records, Aldrich was
married for the first time in 1862, his
wife being Mrs. Sarah Jane d. Aldrich.
Aldrich was 10 at that time, and what
happened to disturb the marital har-
mony of the couple is clouded with
mystery, but Mrs. Aldrich No. later
married man named Vaughn, ana her
son, Leon w. Aldrich, is an heir to tie

riage are not on record.
The third marriage occurred August
19, 1874.
Susan A. Aldrich is registered as wife
No. 4, and Effie 2. Aldrich, her daugh-
ter, is one of the claimants to the
money. This wedding took place in
1876.
Sarah Olive Aldrich, one of the fore
most claimants of the money, was the
fifth wife. the marriage occurring in
1880 in Cincinnati.
The sixth service was performed in
San Jose in 1883, and Mrs. Eva Aldrich
was enlisted in the ranks.
In 1899 the eighth wife, Mrs. Leonora
Aldrich, came upon the scene, while the
wedding bells rang forth only to give
place to wife No. 8, Mrs. Jessie Aldrich.

He had been practicing medicine in
Los Angeles and the officers went to
his office with a warrant for his arrest,
charging him with violating the state
medical laws.

COUNCIL LETS FRANCHISE
OVER EXECUTIVES HEAD
GIVES SALT LAKE PERMISSION TO
LAY SPUR
Mayors Iron Works interests Suffer
by City Fathers Action and He
Calls Franchise Practically confls-
cation of His Property

The council took it's little hammer
to the mayor yesterday afternoon,
when notwithstanding his veto it
granted the Salt Lake a franchise for
a spur track in the alley east of Santa
Fe avenue running from Seventh street
to Twenty-seventh. BY granting this
spur the council rendered a large part
of the property of the Republic Iron
& Steel company, of which the mayor
is president and chief owner, prac-
tically valueless.
The mayors property, on which he is
building his iron works, fronts Santa
Fe avenue and extends from Sixteenth
to Alamo streets. 1t is one block deep,
but the alley down which the Salt Lake
spur will run is but 100 feet east of
the street line. When this spur is COM
pleted 1t will practically cut off the
strip of land lying between it and
Santa Fe avenue. The mayor yester-
day called it confiscation.
While there seems to be no doubt
that the extension of the spur track
will work an injury to his property,
the mayor was yesterday accused of
using his public office for private pur-
poses by his action in vetoing the or
dinance. His reasons for the veto were
numerous and lengthy but he did not
point out how he would personally suf-
fer in his written message to the coun-
Gil. He declared that as this spur was
to be more than a mile in length he be-
lieved it was not legally a spur but
branch freight track and that the city
should receive some revenue for the
franchise.
The mayor appeared before the coun-
Gil personally to support his petition.
asking the abandonment of a portion
of Fifteenth street that runs through
the property of the Republic Iron
works This part of the street has
never been used as a thoroughfare
and the plans for the buildings of the
new iron works show that it is pro-
posed to build them partly over this
portion of Fifteenth street.
Wiltshire, Gilmore & Wilton, whose
place of business is more than mile
from this portion of Fifteenth street
which it is proposed to abandon, pro-
tested against any such action.
The question was laid over until
Monday afternoon.

ASK REDRESS FROM CONGRESS
The Citrus Interests Will Use Influ-
ence at Washinuton

That the citrus growers of California
are much dissatisfied with the recent
supreme court decision and the uncer-
tainty concerning the railroads atti-
tude was evident from the expressions
made at the representative gathering
held in the Los Angeles chamber of
commerce.
That these men of industry of heavy
investments and liberal patrons of the
railroads are in earnest there can be
no doubt, as shown by their speeches
and resolutions.
Their remedy apparently lies in leg
islation through the passage of the
Hepburn bill, with legislation restoring
the routing privilege to shippers.
A Party Demand
The leaders of the discussion during
the brief but lively session yester-
day gave it out strongly that they
expected their representatives in Wash
ington to see to it that their interests
were safeguarded; that they would
demand redress from their party.
One representative grower and ship
per, who preferred that his name be
omitted until the new protective league
had an opportunity to make itself felt
in Washington, has declared himself:
I'VE are in earnest in stating our
case to congress and we expect relief
through our congressman and Sena-
tors" he said
'As the heavy tax payers and freight
shippers of California, we have rights
that should be observed and respected
and if we cannot get them at Wash
ington we will get them later at the
polls.
1--WE will at once select body to go
to the national capital to push legis
lation through the Hepburn bill In
the meanwhile We will await devel-
opments."
open-door sessions. They want the
public to know the facts. The issue
was raised and squarely met early in
the meeting. The chairman asked for
an expression of opinion and a dozen
arose to say they wanted no eXecu-
tive sessions. The motion to permit
all delegates to talk and vote and to
keep the doors open carried with a
rush.
The tendency of the BODY was toward
conservatism. The older heads seemed
to be in control of the floor. AS Chair
man Story frequently announced: "This
is no cut-and-dried affair and we want
the sentiment of all sections
This sentiment was re-echoed in the
speeches.
In the naming of committees the
chair called for explicit instructions
and nominations, and then called into
counsel on the floor representative men
from separate districts, thus removing
all chance of sectionalism.
In this unfettered manner the reso-
lutions and permanent organization
committees were chosen from a wide
range of districts and they are thor

Private opinion of the members of the
water board was asked yesterday after
noon by Seward Cole in regard to the
action of the residents of the section
east of Arlington street and south of
Wiltshire boulevard, who ask that they
shall be included in the Colegrove an

Residents of Colegrove and vicinity
have prepared petition asking a large
district in Cahuenga valley should be
annexed to the city of Los Angeles.
They state that it will not be necessary
for the Los Angeles water department
to run pipes to that district, as it is
already supplied with water. Mr.. Cole
said that the section south of Wiltshire
to Santa Monica avenue and east of
Arlington to Seward street has no wa

imperative for the water department to
lay pipe lines which would mean an
enormous expense.
Mr.. Cole was assured by the board
that no such territory would be taken
into the city until there is enough wa

grove offered no such objections and
could readily be annexed If the people
of Los Angeles voted to annex 1t.
Upon application of Herbert Goudge,

Cullen happened to be present at the
performance and the delightfully."- un-
affected and bewtching manner of the
little Los Angeles girl was his un-

AT the conclusion of the show he
went to the manager of the company
and asked for an introduction to the
charming soubrette. This was given
him and the acquaintance thus formed
ripened rapidly. After a few weeks,
during which time Captain Cullen went
with the company and occupied box
seat at each performance the engage
ment was announced.
AS soon as Miss Benefits contract
with the management of Peggy From
Paris is at an end, the wedding will
take place.
At first it was extremely difficult
for the doughty captain to make an
impression, for little Miss Bennett de-
clared that she was in love with her
art and would never give it up. He
finally prevailed and the engagement
was announced.
In army circles and in Washington
there are few better known men than
Captain Cullen. His home is really at

other property. His law practice de-
