PROPER AGAIN ON TRIAL
ON CHARGE OF MURDER

The second trial of William Proper,
who is charged with the murder Of
George Spelce, a negro, was begun in
department one of the superior court
yesterday.
Most of the forenoon was taken up
in the selection of a jury, and when
court adjourned last night the testi-
mony for the state was not completed,
so it is doubtful If the case will go to
the jury today.
In a midnight quarrel January 49, to
which there were no other witnesses
than the contestants, Proper is ac-
cused of shooting Spelce, inflicting in
juries from which the latter died three
days later In the ante-mortem state
ment he accused Proper with having
held him up but the defendant claims
that he was preventing the negro from
entering building of which he was
the watchman.
The testimony/yesterda showed that
Proper was found in the street suffer-
ing from knife wounds and Spelce had
walked to saloon nearly a block
away and later entered the patrol
wagon unaSsisted.
On the first trial of the case in April
the jury disagreed.

CHARGE FORGERY
AGAINST OFFICER
Former Secretary of American Now
city Company Held to Superior
Court to Account for
Checks

Justice Selph yesterday held f. j.
Taylor for trial in the superior court on
the charge of forgery after a prelim-
mary examination.
Taylor, who was formerly secretary of
the American Novelty Manufacturing
company, recently was acquitted of the
charge of embezzling $515 of the COM
pany's funds
In the complaint charging forgery he
is accused of drawing three creeks pay
able to employees of the company and
indorsing them himself. The checks
were paid by the International Savings
and Exchange bank, the officers Of
which, together with w. H. Obear of
the Novelty company, are the COM
plainants.

in the employ of the company, testified

argued at great length for the release of
his client, but the court decided that
the case ought to go to jury

WOMAN REGA|NS
DISPUTED HORSE
COURT FINDS ANIMAL NEITHER
DYED NOR DEAD
Defendant Had Conflscated GeIdng
and Declared Its Color Was
Changed by Application
of Hair Dye

In a decision rendered yesterday JUS
tice Stephens found that Doc, the A.
year-old dark brown gelding claimed by
Mrs. Ida Colburn, had not died nor
been dyed, as claimed by Miss Anita
Shaffer.
In the suit tried before Justice
Stephens about two weeks ago Mrs.
Colburn sought to recover possession of
the pony, which Miss Shaffer had con-
fiscated some days before. In the trial
the defendant attempted to prove that
Doc was one of a pair Of light bay
ponies that she had sent to the Wing
brothers pasture in December, 1905, and
which the Wing brothers advised her
had died while in their possession.
The difference in color between the
horse Miss Shaffer had owned and Mrs.
Colburn's horse was made, the defense
claimed, by the copious application of
hair dye, and expert testimony was in
troduced to show that the hair of the
horse (Mrs. Colburn's horse, not the
dead one) was much stiffer than the
ordinary hirsute covering of equines in
normal health should be.
The court yesterday ordered that the
horse be returned to Mrs. Colburn and
the costs of the suit be charged to the
defendant.

BROTHERS JAILED
ON THEFT CHARGE
Police Believe They Have Sufficient
Evidence to Convict Erickson
Boys of Stealing from the
Southern Pacific

Detectives Talamantes and Rico took
into custody V. E. Erickson and his
brother Fred Erickson, during the lat
ter part of last week and yesterday
secured the evidence which they be-
lieve will send the two brothers to
Jail. A complaint will be filed against
them today
The detectives say that the two
Erickson boys were employed by the
Southern Pacific Railroad company as
brakemen. From time to time goods
were missed from the cars of the rail-
road. No clew could be found as to
who was stealing the goods until Tala-
nantes and Rico were put on the case
by Captain Flammer. These detectives
searched the Ericksons' room at the
lodging house, College and Buena Wis
ia streets, and found two trunks, two
suit cases, two demijohns and several
telescope baskets filled with goods
which were supposed to have come
from the railroad company's cars.
Further investigation convinced the
detectives that they had sufficient
proof to convict the men and today the
warrants for their arrest will be issued.
The value of the goods recovered is
estimated at about 5000.
Talamantes made another capture
yesterday of two petty thieves. He was
walking on Sunset boulevard when he
noticed that two men had something
very heavy in their pockets and were
carrying a large phonograph He ar
rested the two men and took them to
the police station, where they gave the
names of Antonio Century and Benja-
min Madariaga.
Rico and Talamantes, went to work
to find out where the good billiard
balls and phonograph came from.
They found that a pool hall at 301
Also street had been robbed of these
articles. The proprietors identified the
goods and a charge of petty larceny
was placed against the two men. They
will be arraigned today.

PAYS FIVE DOLLARS FOR
CUTTING HIS INITIALS

People who desire to perpetuate their

initials on the bark of the trees in the
public parks of. Los Angeles will have
to pay dearly for the privilege, for the
park policemen of the city have instruc-
tions to enforce strictly the city ordi-
nance which make it a misdemeanor to
deface the shade trees of the park.
Sunday afternoon T. w. Timberlake
was stroling through the shady lanes
of Eastlake park and spied beautiful
tree.
He started to cut his name in the
tree. About that time Park Policeman
G. w. Russton happened along and
took him to the police station. Yes
terday morning Justice Austin fined
Timberlake S. and said that the next
offender would get heavier fine.

George Papos, a Greek, was fined SIS
by Justice Austin yesterday morning on
charge of disturbing the peace. Pa
trolman Curtin, who arrested Papos,
gave a very graphic description of a
lively fight in a house occupied by a
Greek club at 414-416 North Main street.
He told the court about flying glass,
flying fists and tumbling feats done by
the participants the like of which is
seldom seen. When he arrived at the
place most of the fighting Greeks fled
and Papos was the only one captured.
The furniture, lighting fixtures and
everything movable was broken by the
men in the melee The police are look
ing out for the rest of the gang of men
who were implicated in, the free-for-
