EXECUTRIX MUST OBEY COURT
Mrs. Clifford Notified That Insurance
Money Will Be Considered
Part of Estate

A decision was handed down yester-
day in department 2 of the superior
court by Judge Gibbs in the suit
brought by Mrs. Elizabeth J. Preston
to Dust Mrs. Eva l.. Clifford from the
position of eXecutriX of the estate of
Seth 3. Preston.
The decree allowed Mrs. Clifford to
ccnC!fue to act as executrix for the
estate but decided that all property,
including the insurance, should be
counted in with the estate.
r'Sa Preston case has been in the SUI
pc 'ior uocrts for some time. Preston
died at Whittier about a year ago and
left all his property, amounting to
about $4,000. to Mrs Clifford. who had
cared for him.
Mrs. Preston then put in a claim to
set aside the codicil to the will and re-
cover the insurance. This was allowed
by Judge James and the codicil was
stricken out. When Mrs. Clifford made
her report as executriX she made no
mention of the insurance money, and it
was for this reason that the petition
asking her removal was filed.

FATHER KIDNAPS HIS BABY
Clyde Burnham, Negro, Is Arrested
on Complaint of His Wife for
Stealing Their Child

Claiming that her husband had kid
mapped her baby for spite, Annie Burn
ham, a negress, swore out a complaint
yesterday against Clyde Burnham, and
the man later was arrested and booked
at the police station.
Mrs. Burnham said that she had left
her husband ON account of his treat
ment of her and was living with her
mother, Mrs. G.. M. Green, at 1853 West
Thirty-fifth street. Yesterday morning,
according to Mrs. Green, the man APP
peared at the house and demanded that
the baby be given to him.
The grandmother fought with her
feeble strength to keep the baby, but
Burnham finally wrestled the child
from her weak arms and fastened
away.
When the mother returned to find her
child gone she became frantic and
rushed down TO the police station.
There she was told that the best way
to get her baby was to swear out a
complaint against her husband for
non-support. This was done, and last
evening Mrs. Burnham had her boy
safe and sound. while the father was
locked up in Jail.

All LUNG PREPARES
INGENIOUS DEFENSE
CHlNAMAN WILL FIGHT FAST
DRIVING CASE
Insists That His Horse Was Running
Away at the Time He Knocked
Down George Humphrey and
Smashed His Wheel

The city prosecuting attorney Is try
ing to get a good case in court against
some of the Chinese market men who
are said to drive at reckless rate of
speed down Central avenue early in
the morning.
All Lung was on trial yesterday
afternoon before Police Judge Austin,
charged with fast driving, but the case
was continued for further evidence.
George G. Humphrey, the complain
ing witness, said that All Lung ran
over him on Central avenue the morn
ing of February rs and smashed his
wheel. He claimed that the Chinaman,
instead of stopping to see if the victim
of the accident was hurt, whipped up
his horse and drove on. The man later
was picked out from about 100 other
Chinaman at the Central avenue mar
ket and arrested for fast driving.
All Lung made an ingenious defense.
He said that his horse ran away and
that he was in fear of being killed. He
saw the white man on the ground and
would have stopped if he could, but
his fiery steed carried him to market
at violent rate of speed.
Lung had a number of Chinese wit
nesses to testify that the horse was
running away at the time of the accl-
dent, and the court said that the pros
ecution would better get additional tes-
timony on this point.
The usual fine for fast driving Is
from SO to So, and nearly every one
brought into court pleads guilty. In
the Chinese cases a fight is invariably
made and Lung yesterday had his at
torney with him, prepared to take the
case into the superior court If he is
convicted of a misdemeanor.

of Morphine and Survives
TWenty.four Hours

ployment led William Semple. a struc-
tural iron worker, to commit suicide
Tuesday afternoon at a lodging house
ON Court street by taking morphine.
The man died yesterday afternoon at
the receiving hospital without regain

A curious feature of the case was the
amount of morphine taken and the
length of time the patient lived
Sixty grains of morphia sulphate in
glass of beer, a dose sufficient to kill
fifty men, was taken. When brought to
the receiving hospital the police sur
geons said the man would not live more
than an hour. Yesterday afternoon,
twenty-four hours after the fatal dose
was taken, the surgeons gave it as their
opinion that the man would recover and
half an hour later he was dead.

NARROWLY ESCAPES
A TERRIBLE DEATH
r. r. BoSWoRTH DRAGGED FOR
HALF A MILE
A Spiked CuItivator, Runaway Team
and the Man in Charge Figure in
an Exciting peterborough to
This City and Sent to Hospital

For fully Il half mile r. r. Bosworth
of 702 East Third street was dragged
and rolled in front of the sharp teeth
of a spike" cultivator by runaway
team yesterday afternoon, but he will
recover from the frightful accident. 1t
was while at work on the Hammel-
Denker ranch, mile west of Sherman,
that Bosworth suffered the terrible ex-
perience.
After succeeding in stopping the mad
career of the runaway team BosWorth
crawled and hobbled for a mile to the
ranch house. There he obtained assist
ance and was brought to Los Angeles
on an electric car and sent to the re-
ceiving hospital.
For some time Bosworth has been
employed on the ranch as teamster.
Yesterday he was blowing portion of
'the field with a large cultivator to
which was attached a six-horse team.
The horses became frightened and
started to run, and as they did so the
driver was hurled over the cultivator,
falling directly in front of the ugly
teeth.
Down the field the frightened steeds
ran. Bosworth was rolled and tuInbled
by the huge pillow like a ball. The
sharp teeth tore his flesh into shreds
and mangled his body. but despite his
terrible suffering and the fact that he
was being whirled about, Bosworth par
TALLY regained his senses.
Suddenly the lines fell within his
grasp and he managed to secure tight
hold. Just how he succeeded in stop
ping the horses Bosworth does not
know. For a few moments he lay
quiet on the ground and then began his
weary journey toward the ranch house.
Part of the time staggering along on
his feet, again crawling and pulling
himself along by his hands, Bosworth
reached the house. 1t was then 8
o'clock. BY the assistance of fellow
workers and judicious use OF stimu-
lants the injured man remained con-
scious until the receiving hospital was
reached.
Police Surgeons Quint and Bonynge
examined Bosworth and found that he
had sustained q three-inch laceration
of the scalp, a badly injured optic and
fractured ankle. Bosworth was re-
moved to the California hospital.
