ALEXANDRIA WATER CASE IS
CONTINUED TO SATURDAY
Company Contends II Has Prior Title
to Street Where Excavation
Was Made

A case of peculiar interest to citizens
of Alhambra was brought to the at
tention of Judge Davis of the superior
court yesterday involving the right or
the Marengo Water company to exca-
vate certain streets in that city with
out pay to or permit from the city.
The matter has been pending almost
a year, or since George w. Wilcox, SUI
perintendent of the waer company, was
arrested and taken before Recorder
Routh of Alhambra charged with vlo-
lating the city ordinance which pro-
vides that a permit must be granted
and a fee of 81 paid before street exca-
vations can be made.
The water company's attorney. Har-
ry w. Hanson, entered a demurrer,
which was overruled by the recorder,
who, realizing the Importance of the
case, certified the matter to the SUI
perior court. 1t came up for hearing
before Judge Davis yesterday, and
after a brief explanation by Sloan
Pitzer, city attorney of Alhambra, of
the points involved it was continued
until next Saturday.
The water company contends it has
a prior title to the street where the
excavation was made by reason of a
deed to the property given to 1t before
Alhambra was Incorporated, and that
this deed did not provide for the merg-
ing of the property into the city at the
time of incorporation.

WEALTHY APPEARING YOUNG

H. II. Muggley. suave, entertaining
and whose appearance and demeanor
breathed assurance of wealth during
his meteoric passing through Los An
geles several weeks ago, Is belng
searched for by S. L. Browne, chief OF
detectives of the district attorney
office.
Mueslev is wanted to explain nu-
merous depressions in many pocket
hooks of his friends, from whom he OBJ
tained money in varying amounts
through the medium of alleged ficti-
tious checks during his transitory ac-
quaintance.

Taylor of Berkeley October was
sworn to by Taylor before Deputy
District Attorney Ford yesterday
Tavlor lives at 2207 Blake street, Ber-
Kelley. and is in business in that city
as agent of the Midland Motor Car
company of Moline III The check, he
saws. was eashed by him while on
visit to Los Angeles and because ne
was impressed with Muggley's appar-
emit substantially and the sincerity or
his statements.
Muggley, 1t is said, came to Los An
geles some time in September. He has

trimmed nose glasses. His age Is be-
tween 40 and As, weight IT'S pounds, and
his general appearance that OF an
Americanized habitue of the Paris

Purchases Homo
His first step was to purchase
home, $50 Kingsley drive, paying S5Oo

check, which, 1t Is said, was post
dated, thus relieving Muggley from
fear of prosecution should 1t not be
Maid. Furniture to the value of $lS0O
was then purchased from Barker
Rrothers and placed in the house. In
this purchase Muggley also gave a
check, which, according to f. A.
Barnes, secretary of the company
lacks genuineness. To make his home
more attractive. Muggley, it is alleged,
installed a youthful and beautltul
woman. who is now believed to be
travelling with him in the east.
"His idea was to create a favorable
irnnression." said Chief Browne, in
order that he might be able the more
easily to pass bad paper, and my IN
formation also leads me to believe he
was engaged in selling valueless min
ing stock. I understand he left many
victims in Los Angeles, but only
few complaints thus far have been
made"
Muggley's operations, he added, have
extended over many states, with we'll
known hotels as victims. Among the
hotels he is said to have swindled are
the Auditorium, Chicago; Knutsford,
Salt Lake City; Arlington, Santa Bar
bara, and st. Francis. San Francisco.
He was last heard from In Buffalo
October %, when he sent a telegram
TO friend in Los Angeles that he was
returning to this city.
