WILLS WRITTEN
ON SAME PAPER
FRIENDS AGREE TO BENEFIT
EACH OTHER
Two Testaments Drawn on Both Sides
of Document Are Admitted to Pro-
bate, and Living Person
VIII Be Gainer

One of the most peculiar wills ever
fled in the probate department of the
superior court was recorded yesterday.
The will is that of L. T. Fisher, who
died June II at his home, 551 Agate
street, Los Angeles.
The popularity of the document lies
in the fact that another will, executed
by Mrs Agatha Hoskins, friend of
the deceased, on the same day as that
on which the Fisher will was made, IS
written on the reverse side of the in
strument and reveals an agreement
whereby either survivor should become
possessed Of the greater portion of the
property of the one whose death should
first occur.
Both wills are dated November A.
1905 and according to the provisions of
the Fisher will Mrs. Hosl1ins is be-
queathed a lot in the Meadow Glenn
tract and 500 in money, while the re-
mainder Of the estate, valued at about
$1,000 is left in trust for the benefit Of
the Socialist party in this county.
Mrs. Hoskins' will bequeathed all
her property to Fisher, should he sur
vive her, an exception being made in
the case of some mining stock, which,
it is provided should go to her grand
children living in Richmond, Va.

TWO WHO LOVE
AGREE TO DIE
SWEETHEART WHO SHOT GIRL
GOES TO PRISON
Both Principals Live, and Russian
Youth Is Sentenced to Five
Years at Folsom Peni-
tentlary

For love of a girl whom he could not
wed, owing to the opposition of her
parents, Alex Kottoff, a Russian, was
sentenced to the penitentiary at Fol-
som for five years by Judge Willis yes
terday. Kottoff inflicted several wounds
on the girl, Lana Sisseoff, April %, and
then tried to commit suicide with the
remaining cartridge in the revolver he
had used on his sweetheart.
Through an interpreter ne told his
story in the criminal court yesterday.
THE girl loved me and promised to
marry me- he said. 1.-TWO weeks be-
fore the trouble 1 was told her parents
would oppose the union, and the
thought of losing her almost turned my
mind. We made up our minds to die
together, and it was to carry out this
compact that 1 shot her and myself"
Kottoff expressed deep remorse on
account of the affair and promised, if
a probationary sentence was given him,
he would marry the young woman or
discontinue his attentions, his only OBJ
ject being to carry out the wishes Of
her parents.

La CANYADA INN
SUITS DISMISSED
WOMAN DECIDES SHE WILL
NOT PROSECUTE
Miss Bertha M. Fisher, Through the
District Attorneys Office, Moves
to Throw Gases Out of
Court

Justice Pierce breathed easier yes
terday when a motion was made by the
district attorneys office to dismiss the
complaints in which James H. Critics,
publisher Of Everyman; William Berg
man, a stage driver; H. MacDavenport,
b. L. Morgan and II. G.. Reinhart were
charged with disturbing the peace Of
Miss Bertha NJ. Fisher, claiming to be
custodian of La Canyada inn. The
manner in which the accused persons
were arrested and their belligerent at
titude when they appeared in court a
week ago led the Justice to believe that
the trials would infringe on the time
set apart for his vacation.
Miss Fisher, however, did not appear
in court, but sent word through the
district attorneys office that she de-
sired TO have the cases thrown out of
court.
Both sides, it is said, will allow
pending civil suits to decide the issues,
and other criminal cases instituted in
Pasadena and Glendale justice courts
will in all probability also be dismissed.

SUNSET TELEPHONE CASE
IS UNAV0IDABLY DELAYED

Because Judge Walter Bordwell
of department nine in the superior
court has been called to Fresno
10 try a case in the courts there.
the decision on the petion of the
Sunset Telephone company for an
INDUCTION restraining the city of Pasa-
dena from interfering with it's business
viii be delayed.
In the meanwhile truce will be MAIN
tanned by the parties concerned, this
having been agreed upon by the coun-
sci for both sides In a conference with
Judge Bordwell held in the courthouse
this morning. At its conclusion City
Attorney J. Perry Wood gave out the
following formal statement of the sta
tuS of the case:
'The court made no final decision
but indicated that he would maintain
the status quo pending the appeal, but
that any order of INDUCTION would be
subject to terms imposed upon the
company which would protect the city
THE court is anxious that the ques-
ton of the power of the superior court
to issue a restraining order pending
an appeal, which is a new question in
this state, be carried to the supreme
court in this action, and to that end,
and in order to safeguard the city, will
determines what action it will take to
review the proposed order.
"Of course, If the terms imposed are
satisfactory to the city. there will be
no occasion to review the courts order.
From the courts suggestions, the terms
1t will impose win probably be that
the companies will deposit two per cent
of their gross income since the expira-
ton of their franchise in 1907, and pay
two per cent pending appeal. with fur
ther provision that in case franchise
is granted and the city require a larger
percentage the company shall make up
the difference between the two per cent
and this larger percentage for" the time
since 1907 until franchise is finally
granted. These terms will probably
not be satisfactory.
I'm case the city desires to test the
power of the court to make the pro-
posed order, this will probably have TO
be done by suing out a writ of prohi-
bition in the supreme court. There are
various questions respecting proceed
ings to be taken which will have to
be carefully examined.
Il cannot say what action will be
taken"

TO TRY TO PREVENT
ESCAPE OF WITNESS
GUARD Is ORDERED PLACED
OVER ATTORNEY
Novel Move Made in Case of Mrs.
briggs, Charged with Filing
Forged Lease to
Property

Fearing that an attempt may be
made forcibly to remove the principal
witness for the prosecution in the
pending trial Of Gertrude briggs,
charged with filing a forged lease to
property belonging to the estate Of
the late John Charnock, authority was
given yesterday by W. J. Ford, deputy
district attorney, for the placing Of
guard over Charles NJ. Ackerman, an
attorney.
The duty Of watching Ackerman's
movements and preventing any at
tempt TO hinder his appearance at the
trial July 10, was assigned to George
Perdue, a deputy constable, who ac-
companied the attorney to his Office
yesterday and stayed with him
throughout the day and guarded him
on his return home in the evening.
The Importance Of ACkerman's testi-
mony and the bearing it will have on
the result of the trial is regarded as
of so great moment by the district at
torney that an effort was made yes
terday to prevail on Judge Willis to
increase the bond Of $4,000 on which
Mrs. briggs was released, and pend
ing a decision on this point, it is said
the woman's movements will be
watched closely, these steps being
taken to Illustrate any attempt she
may make to leave the city. Judge
Willis stated yesterday he could see no
reason why the bond should be in
creased at this time.
Says He Took Acknowledgment
During the preliminary examination
of Mrs. briggs before Justice Ling,
Attorney Ackerman testified he had
taken the Acknowledgements as notary
of Charnock's signature to the alleged
forged lease on March g.
Last Monday night he called on Mr.
Ford at the latter's residence, and is
said to have told the deputy that the
acknowledgement was not taken at
Charnock's home, but that his certif-
cate was placed on the instrument on
the representations Of Mrs. briggs that
the signature was genuine.
Neither the attorney nor Deputy
Ford would go into details regarding
the story as told by the former Mr..
Ford, however, expressed belief in the
attorneys story that he had no inten-
tion Of wrongdoing when he placed his
notarial certificate and seal on the pa
per
Il have considered this matter fully
and have told Mr.. Ford everything
about by connection with the Charnock
estate" said Attorney Ackerman yes
terday. Whether TO stand by a client,
who I now believe duped me, or to
protect my family and my future were
the questions that puzzled me. 1 could
not do both and decided to take the
latter course. All 1 can say is that
my sympathies were enlisted on behalf
OF Mrs. briggs, a woman who was al
most total stranger to me-"

Where is my boy tonight? You
are his father or mother, and If you
desire to lay your hands on your
boy within five minutes any night
you wouldn't know where TO find
him.He is on the street somewhere,
or at the railroad depot jumping
on freight trains, but just where,
with whom, in what engaged, what
plotting or executing for the
shrewder ones who plot for him,
you could not tell for the life of
you He has a good home and he
ought to be there at night. He
desires to be somewhere else viii
the boys, and you lack the moral
courage to insist that he shall be
where he should be. You hope
that he will escape the pittfall, but
you know the chances are against
him. Why don't you do the boy
the kindness to keep him at home
nights? The time will come when
he will thank 20 for it or reproach
you for not doing it.

A Big Fake.

While at the Slater fair last week
we were repeatedly told Of the
wonderful lady I'm one of the side
shows, "Psycho" whom nobody
could lift. In order to "clear the
mystery" We hunted up two of
the strongest and biggest men we
could find-Edw. Elmore and
Walter Ellis. When the invitation
came to go on the platform to in
vestigate closer we did So. We
found the woman had no special
training OF ability in any respect
and simply took advantage of the
public's Ignorance along certain
lines, and under the name of "psy-
chology" relieved the public of
spare cash. Her main trick was to
let a man lift her by putting his
hands under her arms. By giving
a little spring, she vas easily lifted
several inches; then she would let
herself limp and of course could
not be lifted in this manner. Our
"strong" friends went back on us
and said they couldn't lift the lady
not because she was too heavy
they got "skeertp
