Nebraskan Prosecutor
Writes

The early life and movements OF Daniel
F. Meskil, alias Harry Mitchell, now in
jail charged with the murder on Novem-
Der 20 of Patrolman Patrick H. Lyons, has
been a mystery. Meskil has heretofore
refused to tell anything Of his career be-
fore he reached Los Angeles, except to
say he at one time lived in Michigan and
was a member of a union organization in
that state This statement has been dis
proved by investigation, and facts brought
to light yesterday through letter re-
ceived by the prosecuting attorneys office
of Los Angeles give information showing
the man to have been criminally inclined
almost from his youth.
The letter is dated Lincoln, Neb and is
signed by f. NJ Tynell, county attorney.
sI prosecuted Meskil at different times,
says Mr.. Tynell, ''and am thoroughly
familiar with his youthful criminal rec
ord. He learned the printers trade in the
reform school for boys at Kearney, Neb.,
and worked for a cousin of mine for some
time on the Lincoln Daily Post At that
time / warned my cousin that he would
commit murder and that he should not
keep him about. He was in Jail number
of times In this county unon assault cases
of various kinds inflicted upon his mother,
sullen. cruel and inhuman in his nature
and disposition, for example:
"a sister did not wait on him quite so
quickly as he thought she should, and he
stuck a tablefork in her back and 1t pene-
trated her body for considerably more
than an inch.
"If you would send a photograph here
we could readily assist in Identifying him
If he Is the man.
'4Ie also worked for the Burlington
railroad, and the superintendent dis
charged him because he regarded him as
murderous and dangerous to the other
men.
His mother still lives in this city. She
is a hard working, laboring woman, doing
add jobs and washing. His father dieo
about six years ago.
IF 1 can assist you in any way in this
matter do not hesitate to call on me, as
Meslil is of the kind of characters that
should be in the grave, but, next to that,
the penitentiary is the proper place for
him."

MIL WAUKEE GRAFT
FIGHTER IS HERE
A. D. WEIDNER, PROMINENT LAW
YER, ON VISIT
Was instrumental in Campaign for
Political Cleanliness in Wiscon-
sin-Has Enviable War
Record

A. d. Weidner, one of the best known
attorneys of Milwaukee, Wis, and one OF
the men instrumental in carrying on the
war against grafters in the eastern city
a year ago, arrived in Los Angeles yes
terday and will pass several days here
visiting friends.
Mr.. Weidner, during his college days,
was famous as a football star and for
three seasons left tackle on the Uni
versity of Wisconsin team.
When the call for volunteers came
at the outbreak of the war with Spain
he enlisted as a private in the Second
Wisconsin, and while in Porto Rico was
advanced through the non-commissioned
ranks and shortly before the regiment
left the island for the return to the
United States was given commission
as second Lieutenant After the camp
of Spanish War veterans was organized
in Milwaukee he was elected com
mander.
81 came to Los Angeles for the prin-
cipal purpose of seeing the city, as 1
had long wished to visit Southern Cali
fornia,' said Mr.. Weidner yesterday.
Il was greatly surprised when I
alighted at the depot and found myself
in the midst of a hustling bustling city
Those who live in the east and have
never visited the coast cannot under
stand how there can be city such as
Los Angeles away out here. Yet each
person who visits Los Angeles and then
returns east is walking advertisement
of Southern California. I have met men
who have passed but few weeks in
this city, who, after their return, raved
of the beauties of Los Angeles, the won
derful climate, the magnificent homes
and hotels.
II understand it is the wish of the local
commercial bodies to increase the popu-
lation of Los Angeles to half a million.
There is a way for them to do so. In
stead of advertising through magazines
of the east for settlers and homeseek-
ers, let them send back those who are
here. Each person who returns will
prove bigger advertisement than any
page in a magazine could possibly be,
and their praise of the city and the
things which make it such an ideal resi-
dence place will cause more persons to
come here than anything else.'

Bullet Fired by Annie Burnett Grazes
Head of Mrs. Henrietta Brown.
Then Police Take a
Hand

A shooting affray yesterday afternoon
on Center street resulted in the slight
wounding of one woman and the arrest
of another. The affair was the outcome
of difference over money matters.
Mrs. Henrietta Brown a negress, lives
at 514 Center street and among her callers
yesterday was Annie Burnett, also
negress, of 112 Alameda street. The call
proved to be other than a social one
shortly after Annie entered the house.
Mrs Brown accused her guest of de-
flaming her character and, demanding the
cause. was told that it was an alleged
debt.
The conversation became heated and
suddenly the visitor dragged forth a large
revolver and fired. The bullet grazed
Mrs. Browns head, carrying away
small piece of the skin and starting the
blood.
Patrolman Fitzgerald arrived at this
moment and prevented further trouble.
The Barnett woman was taken to the
police station and Mrs Brown was told
to go home. but to be ready to appear
against her assailant when wanted.

"Now. what do you think of that?"
asked Reineman, in puzzled way, but
his. companion was equally nnystified,
and a consultation was decided on. AS a
result it was agreed that a bribe should
be offered.
Percy, stick to us and you may have

And Percy stuck and will accompany
the men on their trip eastward
Herm Smith is well known to tennis
players of California, having represented
his college two years ago in champion

make an automobile trip across country
