KETcHEL's SLAYER CAUGHT

Il Sx1GSxS - 0AkA I'm IN ~
Walter A. Hurtz, the slayer OF Stan
ley Ketchell, was captured late yes
terday after he had been starved out
of the woods into which he had taken
refuge. He has been placed in Jail
and is being strongly guarded. He
states that he killed Ketchell in self
defense. His argument being that
he knew that the latter carried gun
and when he called upon the fighter
to throw up his hands the latter re-
fused, so he shot him. He reiterates
the story of Goldie Smith that Ketch-
ell had insulted her and after she told
Hurtz the latter. having already been
reprimanded by ketchell, went look
ing for vengeance.

Municipal Affairs
RESORT TO DECEPTION
TO FIGHT LICENSE ACT
Opponents of New Ordinance Cir
CuIate Petitions and Will
fully Misrepresent

STOPPING to the most despicable lies
seems to be the method employed by
the circulators of the petition asking a
referendum on the new license ordt-
nance
The driver of a truck wagon went to
the mayors office yesterday morning
and wanted to know if the new ordi-
nance required drivers of trucks and
other vehicles to take a physical exam
ination. He said that man with a
referendum petition had told him that
the new ordinance would put him out
of job unless he was able to stand a
severe physical test. He signed the
referendum petition, he said, not be-
cause he was not able to stand physi-
cal test, but because "it would reduce
the license fee he would have to pay"
That is another lie that the circu-
lators of the petition are using with
good effect There is absolutely no
change of any kind in the license fees
for truckmen, draymen and others fol-
lowing similar occupations. The only
change in the ordinance affecting this
class is that teamsters who haul sand
and gravel from the river bed are in
cluded in the ordinance, where they
were left out of the old license law.
The rate of fee is the same in both
ordinances, and even If the new one is
held up by referendum proceedings, the
old one will be in effect and truckmen
and others will have to pay as much as
they do now.

YOUNG WIFE OF PIONEER
SEEKS SECOND DIVORCE
Romance Begun Twenty Years
Ago at Catalina Is Re-
lated in Court

James c. Johnston, a California
"forty-niner," and one time part owner
of Catalina island, a portion of which
he secured through a Spanish grant,
was the defendant in a divorce suit be-
gun against him by his wife, Jessie e.
Johnston, in Judge Davis court yester-
day, where 1T had been transferred by
Judge Houser.
The plaintiff charged her husband
with cruelty and failure to provide,
and told of her life with him in Gao
tus Flats, thirty-five miles from any
neighbors out in the Moiave desert,
where the defendant runs store for
the convenience of prospectors in the
desert who seek supplies.
She grew tired of the lonely life
away from all womankind, she said,
and when her husband refused TO ac-
company her to a distant church social
it started quarrels, during which he
threatened her with shotgun and rifle.
On one occasion she said he presented
gun at her head and she grabbed it
and took 1t away from him. She mar
ried him over twenty years ago. follow
ing a romance which began on Catalina
island, and they quarreled so much
that she separated from him for
seventeen years. She married him
again several years ago and is now

WILL INVESTIGATE RIGHT
OF RAILROAD TO STREETS
S. P. Tracks Not on Grade, Says
City Official

Spurs and side tracks of the Southern
Pacific railroad on Alameda street. be-
tween Fourth and Sixth streets, have
been so constructed that they block the
roadway and have become a serious
factor in the calculations of the city
engineer for paving Alameda street. In
q report the engineer made to the board
of public works he said he supposed
these tracks were all constructed under
franchises, but he wanted to be sure OF
it, and on his recommendation the
board asked the city attorney to make
report on these tracks. In his repor
to the board the engineed said:
| wish to call the attention of
your honorable body to the almost
complete monOpolization Of Alame-
da street by the main line and spur
tracks of the Southern Pacific COM
pany. Presumably these tracks are
all constructed under franchise, but
there seems to be no apparent effort
to adapt the railroad work to the
use of the street by the public. Be
tween Fourth and Sixth streets,
back of the Arcade station, the
double track has been moved to the
west far enough completely to close
that side of the roadway. These
tracks are used simply as sidings
for empty passenger coaches and
for unloading freight. Spur tracks
have been so located that they cross
the street at unnecessarily acute
angles, and in some cases three par
allel tracks have been laid. Very
few of these tracks meet the street
grade,

AWARDED SECOND VERDICT.
IN SUIT FOR AUTOMOBILE
Judge Again Makes Decision Re-
verSed by Higher Court

Following a reversal of his decision
in favor of the plaintiff by the state
supreme court, Judge Bordwell yester-
day again found a decision for the
plaintiff in the suit of James j. Liver
against II. III. Mills in a contest over
an automobile valued at $3.50.
The first verdict for the plaintiff was
rendered May g. 1907. The findings were
that the defendant sold the automo-
bile to S. A. Thompson and J. S. Mil
Ter, who in turn sold 1t to Liver when
they still had a payment of $132 TO
make on 1t. Mills instituted an action
for the recovery Of the auto for nom
payment by the first parties, and pend
inG the action took possession of the
auto by writ.
Liver rendered the $132 to Mills and
demanded delivery of the auto, which
was refused. He commenced an ac-
tion for $3.50, the value of the auto.
Judgment was entered in his favor by
Judge Bordwell for the amount, less
s132, the judgment being reversed by
the supreme court
The action was tried again before
Bordwell recently, and In his findings
the latter says that the evidence does
not show Liver repudiated the con-
tract, because there was none. AS MIL
Ter and Thompson had originally
agreed to pay the defendant, Miller,
for the auto, that obligation contin-
ued, and the defendant had a right to
commence action against Miller and
Thompson for the balance
Judgment was rendered for the
plaintiff in the sum of S327S5 with Z
per cent interest annually from Oc-
tober 1, 1906.

MUST SUE RlNDGE HEIRS
FOR SEWER RIGHT OF WAY

In planning for the new Hollywood
main sewer the city engineer has struck
a small snag that will probably cause
some delay in the work.
He finds that to lay the sewer it will
be necessary for the city to acquire
several rights of way One of these
rights is across the Rindge estate, be-
tween Thirteenth and Crenshaw boule-
ward AS there are two minor heirs to
this estate, consent cannot be obtained
in the usual way, but it is necessary to
take the matter into court and secure
the right by condemnation.
The attorney for the Rindge estate
has assured the engineer that no oppo-
sition will be made to the suit and that
he will assist in Fastening it through
the courts.
