OWNER SUES DEALER FOR
RETURN OF AUTOMOBILE
Claims Repair Man Is Taking Long
Jaunts in Handsome Car and
Seeks to Recover 1t
by Suit

In a complaint filed with the super
ior court yesterday morning ]. w.
Briggs of Pasadena maintains that 5000
is sufficient to pay for the repair OF an
automobile valued at $1,000.
The pending law suit is over a model
&c" winton automobile which ]. w.
Briggs thought he owned until he left
1T to be repaired. Now it appears he
does not own IT and cannot get pos
session of it.
In the complaint Mr.. Briggs says he
left the machine with L. l.. Brentner of
Pasadena to be repaired. When the
work was completed he offered the me-
chanic 5000 for the job, maintaining
this was a reasonable compensation.
This did not satisfy Brentner and he is
keeping the machine.
Meantime the former owner of the
machine claims the repair man has
been sporting about Pasadena In the
handsome Winton car. The aggrieved
owner asks for the return OF the ma
chine or $1,000 and 5000 damages and
costs for use of the car.

INVALID FOR YEARS,
GIRL SUPPORTS SELF
UNCLE OPENS HOME TO PRETTY
MISS
After Struggle Against Poverty, Relief
and Hope Of Health Come to
Mattle Kuhn and Young
Brother

After lying an invalid for two years,
seldom with sufficient nourishment to
support her body, Matte Kuhn, one of
the victims of street car accident which
occurred in Sacramento in 1905, has at
last been found by good Samaritan and
in the future will enjoy the luxuries Of
life. In the past she has seldom had all
the necessities.
While visiting friends in Sacramento
two years ago the young woman met
with the accident. Since then she has
been confined to her bed. Physicians who
examined Miss Kuhn in a Sacramento
hospital soon after she was injured ex-
pressed the belief the young woman
would not long survive her frightful in
juries.
A few weeks after the accident. how
ever, she was discharged from the hos
pital. She was brought to Los Angeles
to her brother. Alexander Kuhn, and
taken to the family home at 1881 Twenty
second street. Then the young woman
learned that while she had been in the
hospital death had called her mother and
that she and her young brother We're
orphans.
The young woman planned to support
herself and brother. She had suffered
injuries to her spine which made it i'm
possible for her to rise from her bed,
yet she did not despair.
Burns Post Cards
with a few dollars she still had she
purchased q pyrographic outfit, guam
tity of leather, and began the production
of souvenir postcards. Soon her work
was in demand.
In the meantime her brother had Sc
cured a position on a local messenger
force
Soon after starting their efforts to sup
port themselves they moved to a three
room cottage in the vicinity of Echo
park, and since that time have made
their home there.
Their combined earnings were small,
and frequently their fare was scanty.
Friday Miss Kuhn received letter
from J. r. Kuhn, an uncle from whom
she had not heard during the last four
years, who lives in Spokane, Wash, and
only recently heard of the Sacramento
accident. The letter reads in part:
"I wish you and Alex would come to
my home in Spokane and pass the re-
mainder Of your lives here. 1 will send
Alex to school and will get the advice Of
the best physicians and surgeons to see
IL you cannot be cured. I send you $50
with which to purchase any little thing
YOU and Alex may need, and will send
you railroad tickets by the next mail"
"You may be sure we are going TO take
advantage of the offer" said Miss Kuhn
last night. 'It is no fun having to worry
all the time about where your next meal
Is to come from.
"I feel confident If I receive the proper
attention 1t will not be long before l Will
recover
Miss Kuhn Is exceptionally pretty, with
waving black hair and dark eyes. She is
now 21 1years of age. three years older
than her brother.

FRENCH USELEA7HER
FOR FERTZLLZZNG
IN TRENCH BY TRUNK, AIDS
GROWTH
Method Differs from Custom Of Olive
Growers of tho United States,
Declares Consul at
Bordeaux

The American consul at Bordeaux, writ
ing to the department of commerce ana
labor, describes the methods of fertilizing
olive trees in southern France. The sys-
tenn In vogue in that country will seem
peculiar to California olive growers:
Every four or five years the growers
dig a trench from sixteen to twenty
inches deep around the tree and make
therein a bed about two inches deep OF
cuttings of skin and leather, pieces OF
horns, bones, woolen rags, cloth clippings,
in fact almost anything that decomposes
slowly. This trench is never dug very
close to the trunk Of the tree, however,
and the growers say that the slow decom-
position of the things buried there mean
a great deal to the life and the growth OF
the tree and the quality of its fruit.
Soluble manure Is used In the spring and
in summer If the soil Is fresh. Poudrette,
nitrates, sulphate of ammonia and super
phosphate of lime are also used plentt-
fully.
"The trees are most carefully and sys-
tematically pruned, the pruning being con-
sidered the most essential element in olive
culture. 1t is so directed as to insure the
free circulation of air and the exposure
of the branches to the sun. The growers
have the idea that leaf surface means
much to the tree They thin out the
inner branches from the center of the
tree, and also cut off those which are too
high or too much exposed to the wind.
The pruning is done either Immediately
after cold weather or just after the har-
vest When large branches have to be
cut off the amputation is done smoothly,
close to the tree, and the wound is dressed
with tar. Although the trees bear only
every other year, they are wonderfully
fruitful. The same branch never bears
~ trnn hnd ~ nCfn mi iGh htT1e
power Of producing shoots almost per-
netuallY."

from outside the city has been as brief
as fifteen minutes, which is no more than
the time ordinarily required for horse

One brewery agent requires fve or
six teams to take care of his rapidly
growing list of customers, some OIL
whom are trihe particular for relig-
ious or business reasons about the time
of the arrival of the beer or liquor.
These particular people are accomo-
dated by might route"
The Night Route
1t Is the custom of the agent of the
brewery to send a wagon on the special
circuit after the shades OF evening
have made 1t difficult to recognize the
nature of the goods being delivered.
Some of the customers on the might
route" are overparticular and for them
the agent takes from carefully con-
cealed sack in the hedge or other safe
place the empty bottles, which are re-
placed with full ones 1t should not
be inferred that because of the secrecy
of the transaction the customer In
tends to deny the indebtedness. Just
the opposite, he is one of the most
prompt in making his remittances His
name is not a matter of record nor Is
bill rendered him; on the first OF the
month he sends his due to the agent
and the agent continues his nightly
round and leaves the beer.
Pasadena was treated to the unique
spectacle last Sunday of a squad OF
police officers in plain clothes march
ing up Fair Oaks avenue to the station,
each bearing carefully in his hand a
full glass of beer that had been con-
f1scated and held as evidence In the
case against the White House cafe.
William Thompson, the proprietor, was
fined $3.50 the following day in the po-
lice court.
This conviction was after Mr.. Morgan
had gathered the material for his story,
and is the strongest confirmation of his
statements that could be asked by the
most skeptical.
According to the provisions OF the
city charter any restaurant can sell
malt or vinous liquor with meal that
costs 25 cents or more exclusive of tho
price Of the drinks If they are sold and
consumed between the hours of 1880
a. m. and $50 p. m. and between b:So
and 1880 p. m.
No license or other tax is imposed by
the city nor are the agents of the
breweries or wineries who sell enorm-
GUS quantities of liquor daily in Pasa-
dena obliged to pay any city license.
The city is losing large amount of
revenue by pursuing the course 1t does,
but no agitation of the matter has ever
been made to make the traffic revenue
producing.

PASADENA IRRIGATES BY
AERIAL RAILWAYS AND
FAST NIGHT ROUTES

Notwithstanding the fact that the city
chartec of Pasadena contains a provision
prohibiting the conduct of a saloon or
LIQUOR business within the corporate
limits Of the city the law is constantly
evaded and 1t is no trick for the initia-
ated to obtain all the liquor that they
can pay for.
1t not infrequently happens that some
drug store or restaurant proprietor al
lows his desire for profit to exceed his
caution and the result is an arrest and
almost invariably a conviction In the
police court with resultant fine OF from
$500 to $500 following.
Usually the party fined sells his BUSH
ness, and his successor thinking that he
is smoother than the predecessor tries
to continue the business and falls into
the same net.
Last Fourth OF July the dry, parched
throats Of the patrons of North Fair
Oaks avenue restaurant suffered without
maltous relief because the proprietor
was arrested for selling beer without a
meal and also without the time limit
prescribed by law. His predecessor had
paid fine for himself and his employe
and later when he was arrested again,
remained in Jail until he could raise the
money to pay his fine by selling his busi-
ness.
