the attention of a patrolman, who ap-

patrolman had a crowd at his heels
which followed to the doors of the sta

Despite his struggles, scratching and
clawing, the little boy was deposited in
the care of the matron, where his
father found him short time later.
When Billy was carried out and saw
his father his delight knew no bounds,
and he was even persuaded to shake
hands with the big pleecman" who
had brought him to the station, al.
though even with his father present he
was still afraid of the patrolman.
After he was perched on top of the

had been lost from his parents and the
numerous adventures he had.
He was at last carried off in his
fathers arms, declaring again and
again he would never, never run away

MINING EXCHANGE
MEMBERS ACTIVE
FULL QUOTATIONS WILL BE
POSTED ON BROADWAY
Arrangements Completed for Private
Leased Wire to Receive Daily Re-
ports from San Francisco, Gold
field and Rhyolite

4'urther progress was made yester-
day evening at the office of the F. A.
Mcdonald company, in the Bradbury
building, toward the formation of one
of the largest and most important min
ing stock exchanges in the west-an
exchange that will be centrally located
in fine quarters on Broadway.
Various encouraging reports were
heard, and on motion 1t was voted to
hold an adjourned meeting at the Nc
Donald offices Saturday next at 4
o'clock for the purpose of electing per-
manent officers and the appointment
Of standing committees
The exchange will handle all of the
stocks on the San Francisco, Goldfield
and Rhyolite stock exchanges, and all
quotations will be received each day
over a private leased wire. The quar-
ters of the exchange will be among
the most complete to be found any
where in the country.
Membership Fees $500
The membership of the new exchange
will be limited to 100, but only twenty
five seats will be sold at the outset.
Seats on the floor will be sold at $500
each, so that ample funds will be avail
able to meet all expenses. Seventeen
of the twenty-five seats have already
been sold and only eight were left last
night. These will be taken before the
last of the week, when the meeting
will be held to effect the permanent
organization.
Included in the membership are many
of the leading mining men of Los
Angeles and Nevada who are enthusi-
astic over the formation of an exchange
representing fully Los Angeles and
Southern California interests.

In the center of the float was to have
been a barbecue in full blast, the meat
being actually cooked by the COW

the men and their preparations in their
work would have been a great novelty.
The men and women of the club were
to ride in a division in the parade, while
some of the prominent members, in

wired to Arizona and engaged the ser
vices of some of the widest and best

more than welcome.
Vaqueros Are Disappointed
That was the diversion planned by
the Vaqueros to boost the Fiesta and
advertise the city.
Yesterday Jack Hendrickson, one of
the best riders in the world and an old
time puncher, made his appearance with
a long face.
When asked the trouble, Hendrickson
blurted out the news
1--WE had prepared to enter the Fiesta
and do our best" he said.
I'VE were going to give the easterners
a real show, the like of which they will
probably never see again, and this
morning 1 received notice from Zee
handelaar that he didn't want us in the
parade because, as he politely termed
it, he didn't like the appearance of
that gang he had seen in the last
parade We were going to ride as out
riders and we had prepared float and
practiced for the great exhibition, and
after all our work to be treated in that
way was to say the least not very
agreeable. We want to boost the
Fiesta In the way we think would be a
great advertisement for the city and
we do not take the word of this one
man as law in the matter at all. If we
can possibly get a chance to ride in
that parade we are going to do it, and
we leave it to the business men of the
city who have the good of the city at
heart and let them decide whether or
not the vaqueros can come into the
parade"
Now the business men are preparing
to have word to say in regard to the
program of the Fiesta parade.

DAUGHTER TELLS
STORY IN COURT
SAYS MOTHER WAS PERFECTLY
SOUND OF MIND
Woman Sick with Dropsy Was oper-
ated on One Hundred and Fifty
Times. but the Disease
Proved Fatal

The testimony of Miss Idella Dotter,
the favored heir to the Dotter estate,
was given yesterday before Judge
Rives in department two of the su-
perior court when, in contesting her
property against the attack of her two
sisters Miss Dotter took the stand in
her own behalf.
The Dotter estate is estimated to be
worth from $5O.oO0 to 100000, but even
the attorneys in the case have been
unable as yet to find its real value.
Dotter was a well known real estate
man of Los Angeles. At his death
two years ago he left most of his
property to his wife to be managed and
directed by her. and Immediately there
after the trouble in the family began.
One of the Dotter girls had married
Dotter's partner and that caused part
of the trouble, because that daughter
was alleged to have begun investiga-
ton of the will at a very early stage
of the game.
Shortly thereafter Mrs. Dotter be-
came afflicted with dropsy in malig-
nant form. During all her sufferings
her daughter Idella was her constant
attendant, and as the elder Mrs. Dot
ter was subjected to 150 surgical op-
erations to relieve her during the
course of the disease the daughters
task was no light one. When Mrs.
Dotter died her will left the fortune
to Idella and the other two daughters
were cut off with $100 each, and a
contest of the will was promptly made.
Operated On 15o Times
"I never mentioned a will to my
mother in all her Illness" said Miss
Idella yesterday afternoon, after ex-
planning the family quarrels and trou-
bles during the morning session, and
particularly telling of the disagree
ments between her mother and the two
other daughters.
my mother became very i'll with
dropsy a year before my fathers death,
but she would submit to no operation.
She became more feeble all the time,
and finally l persuaded her that 1t
would be best for her to be operated
on. Those operations finally amounted
i'm number TO about a hundred or a
hundred and fifty.
"There had been considerable quar-
reling about the estate all the time,
but l had never mentioned any will
to her One day she told me to take
some notes and she outlined what she
stated was her final will, in which she
left me the money, and she told me
to take the notes to an attorney and
have them drawn up In proper form.
which l did. B The will was then pre-
sented TO her ana was carefully read.
She was perfectly sane and In her
right mind at the time and she ap-
proved the viii and signed It."
The case was continued at the close
OF the session yesterday and today
Miss Idella Dotter will be subjected
TO rigorous cross-examination by Judge
Works. representing her sisters.

At those club meetings they have

low out of its nest in order to have a
place for its own eggs. When swallow
nests contain eggs or young the muir
derous sparrow kills the helpless nes-
things or throws out the eggs.
The barn swallow also is diminishing
in numbers owing partly to enmity Of
the sparrow, but more perhaps to the
fact that the modern tightly built barn
denies it friendly shelter. and it finds
40 substitute places in which TO nest.
The cliff swallow, whose curious pouch
shaped mud nest used to be a common
sight under the caves of barns and out
buildings throughout the northern
states, has now been entirely banished
from many localities under the mis-
taken Impression that they are unde-
slrable neighbors because of certain
parasites which infest their nests.
These have been supposed TO be bed
bugs. and hence the nests have been
destroyed and the birds driven away.
This is an error for, although related
to the above Objectionable insect, these
swallow parasites are peculiar to birds
and are not to be feared by man.
Or all tne swallows the mdTun -
considered the most important to the
farmer. and suggestions are given for
increasing its numbers by the erection
Of additional boxes and of increasing
its range by the transportation to new
localities of boxes containing old birds
and half grown young in the belief
that the old birds will be induced by
the presence Of their young to remain
and feed them II they do not the only
alternative is bringing the young up by
hand. which has been successfully done
by feeding them meal worms, grass
| hoppers and the like.
