w. H. Reynolds. night watchman for E..
H. Howard, a contractor, was assaulted
and robbed early yesterday morning by
two unidentified ruffians who, after beat
ing their victim into unconsciousness,
threw him into a vacant lot
He was found by Policemen Jarvis and

So crazed was he for a drug he used
he punctured his arm with a pin and en-
deavored to quiet his nerves by inserting
several grains of morphine.
Near the victim, and groaning from the
cold, William Macdonald, said by the
police to be drug slave, was found. He
had endeavored to go to the rescue OF his
friend but weakened by the use of NOR
phine and having none with which to re-
new his energy, he dropped from exhaus-
ton, and the old comrades, aged respec-
lively 80 and So years, passed the night
within few feet of each other
Reynolds claims that about O'Clock
Sunday night two men called on him and
asked to be shown where they might
dump rubbish.
He left his house with the intention of
slowing them where the.- might unload
their wagon. He had gone but few
steps when he was struck on the head
with blunt instrument. He was knocked
unconscious by the blow. The ruff1ans
then robbed him of small amount of
money.
The assault was witnessed by Mrs.
Houston, who lives near. She summoned
the police.

Thirtieth street over which litigation
arose, when there were no streets and
houses to the south. In those days a
few ranches, three houses and about
twenty-five population constituted the
only business attraction to trolley
company in that area now populous.
paved and developed
The city's legal department holds that
the entire franchise must be put up at
auction and sold in view of the recent
court decision on the franchise case.
while the trolley company's attorneys
say only the section beyond Thirtieth
street should be auctioned
Several of the councimen, notably
Wallace, Blanchard, Pease, Dromgold.
Clampitt and Yonkin, were of the opin-'
ion that the company had acted in good
faith in constructing the various sections
of the line and they construed the for
feiture clause to apply only to the south
erly extension.
Attorney William Dunn, who was city
attorney when the franchise was grant
ed, said neither the Los Angeles nor
any other trolley company would have
accepted franchise under the conditions
by which the forfeiture clause had APP
piled to the whole line
THE paving of the streets alongside
the tracks has cost more than the road
has paid" said Mr.. Dunn.
"Then perhaps you do not want the
franchise" said Mr. Wallace.
