Question of Annexing Huntington Park
to Los Angeles Brings Abou: Per-
sonaI Encounter-Woman
Would Use HorseWhip

A woman is the central figure in
feud which has broken out in Hunt
ington Park as a result of bitter feel
ing between residents of the suburb
who favor consolidation with Los An
geles and those who want to incor-
porate the town and issue bonds for
all kinds of municipal improvements.
Mrs. j. F. Stadler, respected resi-
dent of Huntington Park, yesterday
was arrested on the charge of assault
ing A. A. Weber, who is brother of
Mayor" Louis Weber.
Mrs. Stadler's weight is about 115
pounds, while that of the man she is
said to have assaulted is in the neigh
borhood of 300 In addition, Weber is
said to have been accompanied by a
sturdy friend when the alleged, assault
occurred, and which consisted, accord
ing to Mrs. Stadler in placing her hand
upon Weber's shoulder in remonstrance
to what she AYERS was the use by
Weber of language that was insulting
and uncallcd for
To Get Even with Weber
Mrs. Stadler yesterday declared that
she would swear out warrants for the
arrest of Weber and his friend, William
McKinnie, on the charge of forcibly
entering her home to insult and threat
en- her. Mrs. Stadler also says she in
tends to bring a civil suit to recover
damages for alleged false arrest
against the so-called administration.
Mrs. Stadler has been one of the
leaders in the movement looking
toward consolidation with Los Angeles,
while Weber and McKinnie are radicals
in opposition to consolidation and in
favor of incorporation. Citizens of the
suburb are indignant over what they
say is persecution of the woman, and
her friends declare they will assist her
in defending herself in court and also
personally, If necessary.
Mrs Stadler said that Weber and
McKinnie came to her house when they
knew she was alone and defenseless
and insulted her with insinuations
against her character. She said that
she was so angered by the accusations
that she placed her hand on Weber's
shoulder anC gave him a shove, and it
was this shove which resulted in her
arrest on the charge of assault.
Wanted a HorsewhIp
According to Mrs. Stadler. Weber and
McKinnie, after taunting her for some
time, went away but later returned and
resumed their insulting remarks. At
this time two neighbors appeared and
these Mrs Stadler will have as wit
nesses.

ME If she had had whip. Weber
swore out a warrant before Justice
Jones, formerly a cement contractor
and Mrs. Stadler says she expects to be
compelled to pay a fine.

solidation fight all the more bitter, and

SIOUX CITY. March so prevent

track between Yankton and Vermillion
from being washed away by the flood
waters from the Missouri and Jim riv-
ers, Superintendent l.. 3. BeardsIey has
wired his agents to have the section

Mr.. Beardsley was prompted TO take
this precaution by a message from his
agents at Gayville. and Yankton stating
that the Jim river is rising perceptioIy.
IL this is the case the overflow from
the Missouri river west of Vermillion
must become much greater. with in
creased damage.
MecklinS people think the water is re-
ceding and say il is probably due to the
washing out of two miles Of the Milwau-
kee and St. Paul railroad track east Of
them, permitting the flood waters to
cross over into the lowlands on the
other side and run into the Clay creek
and Nermillion river valleys.
No trains are running west of Yer
