G. 3. Ellsworth, a giant Egyptian,
living at 1927 West Pico street. was
arrested last night by Patrolman II. ..
Fickert. after a terrific struggle VITA
that officer in which the latter was
COMPELLED to beat Ellsworth's mead
frightfully before he could subdue him.
oven then all of the fight was not
taken out of Ellsworth, for when the
patrol wagon, with Officers Hills, Os-
terloh and Shriner, arrived, ELLSWORTH
refused to go to the station, ana IL was
only after showing him the futlllty OF
his course that he consented to De
taken.
A neighbor living near the Ellsworth
home telephoned to police headquarters
that Ellsworth was drunk and beating
his wife, and 1t was believed he would
kill her.
Patrolman Fickert was sent to the
house and found Ellsworth in a quar-
relsome mood. From the appearance
of Mrs. Ellsworth and the continued
actions of her husband after the ofhcer
arrived, Fickert concluded to arrest
him.
Ellsworth refused to be arrested and
attacked the officer, who, after vainly
trying to handle the man otherwise,
drew his club. He was compelled TO
strike Ellsworth repeatedly over the
head before he could get the man out
of the house. They fought all over the
place and Ellsworth was struck no
less than a score of times.
Fickert was scratched and cut on the
head and face and hands, and he also
required surgical attention. Ellsworth
was charged with drunkenness and this
morning his wife is expected swear

to continue the preliminary work In
cident to the election next Friday.
After setting up the plaintiffs quail
fications as a taxpayer to bring the
suit the complaint quotes secllons
from the city charter claimed to nave
a bearing on the matter, and the re-
call section itself, and recounfs Har-
per's election in December, 1906, ana
his resignation March IL. The com
plant sets out the language used by
the president of the city council in
declaring the appointment of William
D. Stephens, and these words, 1t Is
expected, will form a material part In
the forthcoming proceedings. The
words used by the councils president
We're:
THAT Mr.. William D. Stephens, hav-
ing received nine votes l hereby de-
clare him appointed to fill the vacancy
now existing in the office of mayor"
Stress is laid on the fact that no OBJ
lection was made to this declaration,
and continuing the complaint says:
IF such election is held the person
receiving the highest number of votes
at said election will claim to be the
regularly and duly elected mayor OF
said city of Los Angeles to succeed A.
c. Harper, and that there will thereby
result a conflict in said city as to who
is the duly elected and qualified mayor
law to hold said Office"
Mentions Aqueduct
The complaint states the fact that
the city Is building an expensive aque-
duct to cost not less than $23,000,0 600, is
engaged in building school houses and
letting important contracts, which are
required to be signed by the mayor,
and that, If confusion arises as to who
is the duly elected and qualified mayor,
it will result in great financial loss to
the taxpayers by reason of the fact
that parties called upon to bid on these
contracts and on the materials there
ity.
Fear Confusion
If the election is held and in conse-
quence thereof a doubt is created as to
who is the legally elected mayor, the
business affairs of the city, says the
complaint, will become confused and
the police force will be in doubt as to
who Is the official head, and that the
policing of the city will be Improperly
done.
The same, 1t is claimed. will be true
of each and every department of the
city, resulting in irreparable injury to
taxpayers and property holders.
In closing, the petition, asks, first
that it be adjudged that William D.
Stephens is the duly elected, qual1heo
and acting mayor of Los Angeles. elect
ed by the city council to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the resignation OF
A. c. Harper, ending on the first Mon
day in January 1910.
Second, that Harry ]. Lelande, city
clerk, be enjoined from mourning any
Indebtedness, bills or obligations
against the city created on account OF
the recall election; and
Third, that w. G. Mushet, city audit
or, be restrained from auditing de-
mands for any expenses incident to the
election.

The Theaters

Harry Mestayer of the Burbank stock
company is bewailing the loss of new
mandolin. In Arizona" which goes on
at the Burbank next week, Mestayer
plays a Mexican and a mandolin at the
same time. The Mexican was easy,
but the eminent local Ibsenite has had
some difficulty in attaining that digital
dexterity necessary to proper manipu-
lation of mandolin strings, and his re-
hearsals have been both long and ardu-
Gus. Following his lesson yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Mestayer tucked his in
strument under his arm and boarded
a Glendale car for home. =.
Two blocks this side of his usual cor
ner the actor, CHANGING to glance out
of the car window, saw a balky horse.
It was a white horse, and Mr.. Mestayer
was interested. He left the car hurried
ly to search out the symbolism in the
incident, and forgot his beloved mai
dolin.
When next he thought of it the car
as on it's way back to town. Harry
at once called up the lost and found

nany. only to be informed that the
tracer Of lost articles had quit work
for the day. He hopes to find his man
dolin this morning AS for the white
horse as usual, it seems to have been
merely an evil omen. However, 1t
would spoil the problem to explain
fully. BY this time the horse has gone,
and so has the mandolin. Mr. Messenger
has forgotten the animal in regrets for
his lost instrument The sequel to the
little problem may develop later.

CHAPTER V.
HONEST MAN AND KNAvE

HONEST MAN AND KNAvE.
 "W WISH to talk to you, Edward, 9 began MT. Durant. His manner was serious, and Pinckney, who | had known him so long, realized that he was seriously put out about something. At such times there was only one way to handle the steel mag nate-that way was absolute obedience and prompt replies to his questions. Pinckney became all attention at once.
 'Yes, sir. What is it?' he asked. Durant consulted the paper in his hand.
 ''The royalty on this Rhinestrom gun," he asked-"am I correctly in- formed about ii? p
 How much did you think it was?" asked the manager.
 According to the papers, we pay a royalty of $6OOO for every gun six inches or under and $1,OOO an inch ex- tra for every one over six. So for these twelve inch guns we are to forge we must pay $12,OOO eac h."
 ''Thats correct, sir,' said Pinckney.
 ''Its too much," declared the steel magnate sharply.
 HIS HluudSeI VeutuEeu pTOLoSIluS gesture.
 T wrote you," he said. "and cabled you before I signed the contract. It was too risky waiting until your re- turn"
 T don't see why" exclaimed Du- rant impatiently. q think you've made a mistake this time, Edward-a grave mistake. That royalty I consider outrageous"
 The manager had to make a fight
 "I'm very sorry, sir,' be said apolo- getically, "but you know I have your interest at heart, and it seemed to me the only thing that could be done You have trusted my judgment. I had to exercise it. The government liked this gun, and it meant an order that will keep us busy for year. If we con trolled the patents they were obliged to give us the contracts. There was no competition, you see, and then our price to the government leaves us very fair profit even after this big roy atty is paid"
 Durant shook his head.
 Penny wise, pound foolish, think it, Edward. To make profit we have to charge the government a tremen- dous price that doesn't help our future business. It will give us black eye when we want work next time!n

Ma at the manager apolo getically.
 "I'm sorry, MT. Pinckney,'' he said i 'I'm always playing the fool, it seems You've been a good friend of mine | sir, and I want to thank you for help 1 ing me out. I'll be grateful. I won make any trouble. I'll shut up." Pinckney slapped the old man o1 l the back almost affectionateIy. That's all right, Marsh he said 'T realize you don't know anything 1T the world about business, realize tha thoroughly, and I'm acting in this l manner for the good of all. Now, yor trust me. With this order we have from the government-it ought to keeI us busy for a year-youll be rich You'll have a fortune, but if it were known who was the inventor we'd get nothing You see that?' Marsh nodded.
 q understand, sir.'' "All right, Marsh. Then be good, advised the manager. +Now you'd bet ter go."
 The little man had got almost to the door when he paused and turned back
 "Just one thing more, MT. Pinck ney."
 "Well?" said Pinckney impatiently.
 "It's about the casting of the Som mers gun tomorrow"
 What about it p asked the manager sharply.
 Marsh hesitated.
 ''It's just this, sir. I understand that you're going to put Smith in charge ot the works You know what sort of 8 fellow Smith ?"
 ''Smith is good man." said Pinck- ney sternly. Don't criticise fellow employees, Marsh. I am responsible, and know what I'm doing" .
 Still the little man, honest at heart, felt compelled to protest.
 Smith has been drinking for several days, sir, and he's already ugly. The last time he was charged with impor- 'tant work he ruined the gun and cost us a lot of money, besides throwing and hurting one of the men.
 ''Now, Sommers, I understand, in- tends to be down at the works to su- perintend forging these guns. If he and Smith get together there'll be trou- ble and the gun may be ruined, and
 
 that will cost us lot more money"
 Pinckney looked at him with a sheer.
 Seems to me. Marsh" he said, ''that the inventor of the Rhinestrom gun is taking an asEful interest in the gun of his rival. What do you want to do manage the business yourself and spoil Sommers' gun?"
 "Mr. Pinckney," exclaimed Marsh in- dignantly, you haven't any right to talk that way to me. was telling you something for your, own good and the good of the works"
 Look here, Marsh" . Pinckney's manner had grown suddenly stern-"I am the general manager of the :Durant works, and don't propose to take any interference from you or shy other employee. have ordered Smith in charge of that work, and he's going to be in charge, and he's going to do it right.
 ssIf there's any danger of ,Sommers coming down there and raising a row, we will simply slap the gun in few hours ahead of the schedule, and it'll all be over before he gets there. Now, you go attend to your own business and keep your mouth shut. Good night
 : Thoroughly cowed, Marsh turned and left the room just as George Du- rant entered by another door from his study, where he had been dictating.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-09-23
CHAPTER VI. q LOVE YOU"


 {" HE door closed, and Pinckney turned to Mrs. Durant.
 Did you see that?' he ex-
 claimed.t She's going to the door with him-going right out there with him. I never saw anything like it in my life''
 Frances mother smiled indulgently. "Well, what if she is?" she said. 'For goodness sake, Edward, let the child be polite.''
 Pinckney was losing all vestige of caution and self control.
 She's in love with him. I tell you, she's in love with him.
 Mrs. Durant smiled.
 Frances in love with MT. Sommers! Why, Edward, you're ridiculous The man was walking up and down the floor excitedly. Now he stopped in front of her. "'-~ "Ridiculous nothingv' he exclaimed ''You won't say it's ridiculous when this penniless adventurer carries her off right under your eyes. I tell you, it isn't safe. He's not the kind of man to be with Frances I should have protested before. I'm sorry didn't I tell you, Mrs. Durant, it makes my blood boil to see it. I can't stand it. I won't stand it'' Edward" Mrs. Durant was not smiling now. Her face was stern, grim, almost like her husbands. "Do you realize what you're saying?" she demanded sternly. Ut isn't for you to criticise what Frances does one way or another. I will attend to that. Her father and I have charge of her and no one else. For you to make any such speech is presumptuous."
 Pinckney bowed, rebuked.
