ANGELES TO BE MARRIED
Girl Meets Spouse No. !, Goes to Her
Fiance, Upbralds Him and Is
Assaulted-He Pays
$25 Fine

The alleged duplicity Of w. c.
Weant, proprietor of horse stable at
1131 San Pedro street, in attempting to
marry a young woman when he had
wife living in this city was aired In
police court yesterday afternoon, when
Weant appeared and entered a plea of
guilty to charge of battery preferred
by Jennie Mckenzie, the intended
bride. Weant was fined $25 by Police
Justice Rose.
The complaint charging Weant with
battery was issued several days ago,
when the young woman appeared In
the deputy district attorneys office and
told her story. According to her state
ments, Weant met her in Arizona some
time ago. Later he came to Los An
geles and when she consented to be-
come his wife he wrote her and re-
quested she come to Los Angeles to be
married.
She arrived in Los Angeles several
DAYS ago and while in store met a
woman who resembled picture she
had seen in the possession of Weant
This picture she said she believed was
that of the divorced wife of her intend
ed husband. Her curiosity was aroused
at the resemblance and she APP
preached the woman and learned her
suspicious were correct. The woman
admitted she was the wife of Weant
but she had been deserted and not di-
vorced. Mrs. Weant- then told Miss
Mckenzie she was married to Weant
two years ago and had been deserted
eight months ago.
The young woman postponed fur
Their purchases of her trousseau and
with Mrs. Weant visited the horseman
and demanded to know the truth. Aft
Ell learning that Weant really was not
divorced Miss Mckenzie demanded res
titution for the expense of her trip
from Yuma to Los Angeles and for her
purchase of wedding finery. This an
gered Weant and he Is alleged to have
struck the woman four times.
Weant yesterday afternoon appeared
in court, entered a plea of guilty and
was fined before the women appeared
Mrs. weant and Miss Mckenzie
reached the court shortly after Weant
had gone. They appeared angry and
declared they wanted to tell the story
of the attack on the young woman.

Fortunate Winners Of Trips to Alaska
Yukon.Pacific Exposition VIII
Be Entertained In Royal
Manner

What was the Midway in Chicago,
the Pike in ST. Louis, the War Path in
jamestown, will be the Pay Streak at
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition.
The Seattle 10y paths name is dis
tinctly Alaskan. In Alaska 1t is the
pay streak that makes a millionaire to-
morrow out of the "roughneck" Of to-
day. 1t is the thin course of gravel
down along the bedrock in which lie the
nuggets and the gold dust. Had there
been no pay streak there had been no
Alaska, for 1t was not known that
Alaska was capable of extensive farm
ing until 1t was tried out by men who
had been led there by the promise of
gold.
In Seattle it is different--if there had
been no exposition there would have
been no Pay Streak, but the exposition
is bet and the Pay Streak will be the
last word in amusement.
All of the biggest features of other
exposition amusement ways have bean
signed, to say nothing of a whole lot
of new ones, with the result that not a
space remains on the Streak, which is
three-quarters of a mile long.
Among the lot that made q good
time of it in ST. Louis will be the
Monitor and Merrimac, Gettysburg
lot of new people and business. Fight
ing the Flames, 101 Ranch, Upside
Down House. the baby incubators
Thompsons scenic railway and Noun
tain of Mirth, the Igorottes and others.
Among the new ones will be the pneu-

rortation show; San Marine, q quaint
walled city from the smallest republic
in the world; the Oregon Trail, Klon-
dixie Placer Mine, Siberian Eskimo
town and natives: the Single Weavers,

Superintendent N. w. thinner of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

necessary by the repeated attacks of
vandals who partially demolished 1t on
three occasions.

which has been used extensively by
teamsters to water their animals, has
been more than the original cost of
erecting it," said Superintendent zim-

Honolulu is now in direct rail COM
munieation with Pearl Harbor naval
station, for in the last three days the
Oahu Railway & Land company has
built spur, 700 feet in length, connect
ing the main line of the railway from
a point beyond Puuloa station, with the
proposed gateway to the naval reser-
walton. 1t was expected that the work
would be completed last night.
The railway people put in the spur
quickly and quietly. They will now be
ready to transport supplies directly into
the naval station, aud perhaps in few
weeks the naval stallion railway within
the reservation will be built. The navy
people have contract with the Hawai-
ian Mahogany Lumber company to de-
liver five or six thousand ohia railroad
ties on the reservation, and deliveries
were to commence this month. The ties
will be landed from vessels at the rail
road wharf and transported by rail to

Supreme Court yesterday, the decision
of the Circuit Court in the case of
May X Brown against Henry Holmes,
that sale of the property IN question
be made by commissioners, and the
proceeds, after the costs had been
paid, be divided among the respective
parties, was affirmed. George III. Holt,
one of the defendants, took an appeal
from this decision to the Supreme
Court. The syllabus of the decision
is as follows
IA cotenant Is entitled to a parti-
tion of his share in the common es-
tate, or sale if partition would
greatly prejudice the parties. The
fact that there are minor cotenants
unable to purchase does not affect such
right.
"a cotenant can not be allowed in
case of sale for money expended for

IA finding that under the cireum
stances of this case a partition in kind

To Sift Nations History.

This country is now rich in its his.
torical literature, but of the recent
output most has come from west of
the Hudson and north of the Potomac
and Ohio. We can now study with
minutest detail almost every phase
and period Of our history, with the
sole exception of the south, which is
late in coming to the front with its
own records. The southern people
have been content to make history
rather than record 1t, and for this rea-
son materials, are :meager. But there
are In the south writer's who are now
taking high rank and of whom much
more may be expected. We are be-
ginning for the first time to get some
studies of the reconstruction period,
for instance, out of which an opinion
may be formed instead of being taken
off-hand at the dictum Of contem-
porary writer's who were prejudiced
on one side or the other.-Philadel-

Natural Gas In India.

Consul General William H. Michael
Of Calcutta writes that 20 miles from
Chittagong natural gas issues, FROM 4
crevice in the ground in considerable
quantity. 1t has been burning SO long
that the oldest inhabitant can give
no idea of when or how it was set on
fire. The general belief among the
natives is that the gas has been on
fire for centuries. At any rate, the
gas flow has been burning as far back
as any records have been kept by
white people.
It IS now suggested-and some steps
have been taken to carry out the sug.
sestion-that the fire be extinguished
and the gas be brought under control
and piped down to Chittagong for
lighting and fuel and power purposes.
The citizens of Chittagong have con.
cluded that it would be cheaper to util-
ize the gas than to introduce electric
ity for fuel, power and lighting.

her mother busy helping the cook pre-

bad at the core, and I'm much disap-

OF REELFoor LAKE.
Strange History Of Spot Where Night
Riders Crime Occurred.

The physical history of Reelfoot
lake o. night rider fame is not with.
out certain interest of it's own. The
lake came into existence as the result
OF series of earthquakes which be-
gan in December, 1911, and continued
until June. 1912.
Some authorities say that the earth
quakes merely heaved up great ridge
of land across the path of the Reelfoot
river. which runs into the Mississippi.
and that this dam caused the water to
back up and broaden out and form a
lake; but the favorite account in the
neighborhood is to the effect that the
ground sank, springs were opened up,
nelghboring creeks diverted from their
course and the overlooking waters of
the Mississippi rushed in during the
flood season Of the spring Of 1912.
1t is said that for an hour and a
half the waters of the Mississippi
flowed uphill while filling up the de-
preston caused by the earthquakes.
Both accounts likely have this much of
truth in them that the entire contigur-
tatonsofs the ground was changed by
the earthquakes. Big lake, west Of
the Mississippi. IL said to have been
formed in the same way at the same
time.
Reelfo0t lake is sixteen or eighteen
miles long, writes Don Marquis in
Uncle Remus' Magazine, very irregu-
lar In shape, and covers from $4,000 to
10000 acres of land. 1t varies in width
from mile in some places to four or
five miles in others The northern end
is extended by series Of sloughs and
bayous into Kentucky.
The most distinctive feature of the
lakes appearance, the feature which
first impresses and stays longest with
the observers fancy, is certain gro
tesque effect as if set of crazy men
had been operating piledriver there
for the last century, for the trunks,
stumps and stark branches of dead
trees stick out of it everywhere in
desolate parody OF some such human
handiwork; far below the surface the
fish dart among the boles and branches
where the squirrels frolicked hun
dred years ago.
There are beautiful spots here and
there, but the effect as a whole is not
beautiful; at it's best, when the mist
rises and myriad protruding tree
trunks are white and ghostly in the
moonlight, it, is weird; the general re.
membrance is of something uncouth.
1t is kind of sloven lake that has
preferred to sit down with it's hair un-
combed all day long, but at night it
does manage to achieve a touch of
wizard dignity.
