YOUNG WOMAN ACCUSED
OF CRUELTY TO HORSES
Charged with overdriVing Steeds in
Ride from Pasadena to Casa
Nerdugo

PASADENA, Sept. 27.-The two
most surprised young women in Pasa-
dena are Miss Helen NJ. Leddy of 72o
North Raymond avenue and Miss
Edith NJ. Smith of 421 Mundell drive.
Yesterday they learned to their sur
prise they were under arrest for al
legged cruelty to horses which they had
ridden to Casa Verdugo. They hired
the animals at a local livery stable
and went out for a horseback ride.
They had no idea they We're over
driving the animals, but nevertheless
they were taken in charge by Deputy
Constable Bergman, who turned the
case over to the humane officer in
Pasadena, r. I. Stillwell.
This morning the case was called
before Judge Mcdonald and the
young women experienced a rather
bad half hour. They told about their
ride, and while they admitted hitting
up a rather fast clip they denied any
intention of cruelty. c. E. Post, of the
livery stable where the horses were
hired, thought the women were get
ting rather a hard deal, and in view of
this fact and the stories told by the
girls themselves, the judge dismissed
the cases with a probationary warn
ing. Both young women made up
their minds they would never take
another horseback ride.

and banker of Anaheim, was looking
over some of his legal papers and
has Just discovered he bought some
land at Imperial valley twenty-one

from Holtville and considered a val
liable tract.
The district attorney of Imperial
stated that action was to have been
commenced October to recover the
entire tract for the state.
Had the owner delayed the matter
a few days longer he would have lost
the $40 acres, notwithstanding that
he is wealthy and has been able at
all times to pay the balance due on
the property, which amounts to $500.
The $500 has been paid by Helmsen
for the land now worth over $4,000
The senior class of the Anaheim high
school elected the officers as follows:
George Chambers, president; Flora
Newman. vice president; Zella Hol-

BRITISH SKIPPER TO
SAIL WITHOUT CREW
STEAMER CARLTON DESERTED
BY HALF ITS HANDS
Captain J. A. Adams Declares He Will
Leave on Schedule If He
Has to Shovel Coal
Himself
Especial to The Herald.l

REDONDO BEACH Cal, Sept. 27.-
Despite the fact that half his crew de-
serted him, Captain j. A. Adams OF
the big British steamer Carlton, which
has been in port for several days, de-
clared this afternon he would sail for
the north before morning. The Carl
ton arrived here last week with a cargo
of 100, 700 ties for the Santa Fe railroad.
This is said to be the largest cargo of
any kind that has ever been brought
to Southern California.
The discharge of the big cargo of
ties was completed this afternoon.
When Captain Adams prepared to
hoist anchor for Comox, British Co
lumbia, where the ship is to coal, he
found that most of his sailors and fire
men were missing. According to an Of
fetal at the wharf, six sailors, eight
firemen and two cabin boys deserted
the vessel in the past few days and no
trace of them has been found. Two
more sailors who failed to make their
getaway were placed in the Redondo
Beach Jail for safekeeping until the
Carlton sailed
1t is no new custom for crews of in
coming vessels to quit their ships at
the first opportunity. However, in the
case Of a vessel the size of the Carl
ton, it makes a big difference in the
handling of the vessel if foul weather
be met. Captain Adams, according to
one of his friends, is very determined
and would sail at the time set If he had
to get down in the fireroom and shovel
coal himself The Carlton is more than
400 feet long and built of steel.
The Carlton goes from Comox to
Otaru, Japan, to get another load of
ties for this port.
The Norwegian steamer Christian
Nicholson is due to reach here from
Japan about October 10 with large
cargo of ties for the Santa Fe. This
vessel brought a cargo of 10000 ties to
Redondo from Otaru some time ago.
The steam schooners Samoa, with
10000 ties from Caspar, and Wellesley,
with 100000 feet of lumber from Grays
Harbor, are due to arrive here tomor-
row morning. Both cargoes are con-
signed to the Santa Fe railroad. The
steam schooner Saginaw is due to get
here from Astoria with 100000 feet of
lumber for the same company. The
steam schooner Phoenix arrived today
with 5000 ties.
