Three Go Into swoons and Mysteries,
While Sister Accuses Wife of
Having Started All

The mother and sister of w. L. Yok-

Rives' court yesterday afternoon when
Yokley was adjudged insane by the
commission. A few seconds later his
wife, Mrs. Maud Yokley, became hys-
terical and was carried in a comatose
condition from the courtroom to the
corridor, where the mother and sister
lay on bench.
In her fall, the unfortunate mans
mother sustained a severe cut on the
top of her head. She lay unconscious
for ten or fifteen minutes. The sister
soon recovered from her spell, but be-
came hysterical, called for her brother
and begged the bystanders to bring
him to her.

him." she moaned. I'VE will care for
him at our home. He will not hurt any
one and he will be satisfied to remain
take him to Patton, and it will be the
death of mother"
Mrs. Yokley raved and begged for
her husband, and the combined efforts
of several men were required to re-
strain her. She declared she would
enter the courtroom and take her hus-
band, and said that If not allowed to

about a year ago and died after having
been there three weeks. His sister de-
clares he will not long survive the con-
fnement and will succumb as did his
father.
The complaint against Yokley was
sworn to by his sister-in-law, who ac-
cuses him of having threatened to kill
his wife.
1t seems there was a family row-the
mother and sister against the wife and

BICYCLE VICTIM AWARDED
CONSOLATION FOR INJURY

Harry D. Johnson was awarded SITS
damages against f. w. Coleman by
Judge Houser in the superior court
yesterday. The suit was the result of
a bicycle collision, which resulted in
battery Immediately thereafter.
According to the testimony Coleman
was riding a bicycle at First and
Spring streets July, 1907, when he ran
into johnson. Coleman became angry
and struck Johnson. inJuring MIN TO
such an extent that it was necessary
for a surgeon to take a NUMBER OF
stitches in his head.
Judge Houser stated that a number
of years ago he was in the path OF
cyclist and could sympathize with any
one who was bumped into.
Persons who were in the court room
at the trial yesterday and who were
familiar with the incident referred to
by Judge Houser, told the story.
According to the narrators, about ten
or twelve years ago the judge, who
was then a young lawyer, was walk
ing along the street when ne was
hlimped from the rear by a wheel rid>
den by John Jeffries, brother of the
champion. Thereupon, it is said, the
Judge grabbed the wheel and without
looking at or caring who the owner
might be. threw 1t into the street. He
then made a fright swing with his
fist at the rider.
The contest did not consume many
minutes and there was no damage suit
for battery. A scar on Judge Houser's
lin reminds him of the incident.

GARVANzA WANTS
GOOD CAR SERVICE
COMPLAINTS OF RESIDENTS
MAY BE Needed
Representatives of Improvement As
ISOLATION to Meet with Council
men and General Man.
ager of Railway

l., Complaints of property owners and
residents of Garvanza against the
service given on Avenue ga. better
known as the Church of the Angels
car, will probably have the desired
effect in lettering the service.
A love feast has been arranged be-
tween representatives of the Garvanza
improvement association, Councilmen
Wallace and Dromgold and Traffic
Manager Mcmillan for 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning, when it is prob
able all will get together on some plan
for improving the service on this line.
Yesterday the council heard Frank
s. Adams and other residents of the
vicinity of Paso Robes and Avenue 81
voice their indignation against the Pa
cific Electric for violating the terms
of the franchise under which the road
is operated.
The first violation of the franchise,
they declare, is in the operation of the
line by the Pacific Electric. The franz
chise was granted to R. e. Brinker
about six years ago, with the pro-
vision in the franchise that it should
not be transferred unless notice of
such transfer was filed with the city
clerk In June the Pacific Electric
paid to the city clerk the per cent
on the gross earnings of the road, as
required by the terms of the franchise.
This was as near a notification of the
transfer as was ever submitted until
yesterday, when the Pacific Electric
filed the required notice of transfer
from r. E. Brinker.
The Garvanza people have asked the
council to declare the franchise for
feited because of the violation of this
term of the franchise and another one
that requires such service shall be
furnished as will accommodate all per-
sons applying for transportation. The
Indignant citizens declare this has not
been done, but on the contrary, while
the community has been growing the
service has been deteriorating, until
now cars run every half hour or less.
They are not DESTROYS the tranchlse
he declared forfeited if the Pacific
Electric will put on a service SUFFICIENT
for their needs, but is this is not done
they say they prefer bare street.

NEW TELEPHONE CONCERN
ASKS CITY FOR FRANCHISE

Free telephones are to be a thing
of the past If the International Tele-
phone company can have it's way.
This company presented petition
to the city council yesterday asking
that body to pass an ordinance, giving
them the right to install mechanical
arrangement in connection with tne
Telephones in cigar stores, drug stores
and other places where free phones
are worked to death. BY this arrange
ment cents is dropped into slot
and the patron not only gets his tele,
phone connection but when the nickel
is dropped in ticket good for cents
in merchandise is received. By this
arrangement the druggist or other
merchant who suffers at the hands OF
the patrons of the free phones will get
back something over the counter.
The city attorney was instructed to
prepare the ordinance.

CHARGES HIS DAUGHTER
WITH BETRAYING TRUST
Aged Swiss, Who Speaks French
Alone, Asserts His Confidence
Was Abused and $500
Taken from Him

Alleging that his daughter defrauded
him out of s520O, Jean Wagniere, an
aged Swiss, who speaks only the
French language brought suit in the
superior court yesterday against Nancy
Henry, George Henry Joseph Couget
and others for an accounting in a real
estate deal.
The complaint. which is volumin-
Gus one, sets forth that the daughter,
Nancy Henry, has transacted and at
tended to the business of the plaintiff
who is unable to do so himself be-
cause of his inability to speak the
English language; that upon the re-
quest of Wagniere the daughter bought
for him several pieces of property, but
instead of having the deeds made out
in his name, had them made out to
her: that she sold some of the prop
erty and deposited the money to her
own credit He asserts that the lots
were sold to Couget, and aske for an
accounting and such relief as is neces-
sary.
