ACCUSED OF DESERVING
SICK WIFE AND CHILD
Man Alleged to Have Taken Saw
ings and Sold Furniture
Before Leaving

Accused of leaving his sick wife, and
3-year- old child in a destitute condition
after he had appropriated the woman's
savings and stripped their apartment
of everything saleable. Lewis Mont
gomery, 32 years old, a former employe
of the Pacific Electric company, was
arrested at Bakersfield last night and
locked UP on felony charge of failure
to provide.
With his wife in the last stages of
consumption, and their child afflicted
with the same disease, Montgomery, 1t
is asserted, took the meager savings of
the woman to buy a uniform and
watch necessary for him to obtain en-
ployment with the Pacific Electric COM
pany, and after working several weeks
stripped their apartments at 1916 Ruth
avenue of all furniture, which he is
said to have sold at bargain price
After obtaining the money from the
sale of the furniture, Montgomery, 1t
is declared, left his home without even
bidding his wife and baby good by, and
went to Bakersfield, where he was en-
deaVoring to obtain employment when
he was arrested.
Even though she was without food
and in a serious condition, Mrs. Mont
gomery would not complain to the po-
lice, and 1t was only when her case
was brought to the attention of the
Associated Charities that the police
were notified.
Physicians who are attending the
woman say she has but a few months
to live and an effort is being made to
obtain enough money to send her back
to her parents in Texas.

Field of Peace
GETTYSBURG FOUGHT AGAIN

Forty-seven years ago, when the bat
tie of Gettysburg was raging fiercely,
a troop of Confederate cavalry routed
a battalion of the famous Yankee
Iron brigade from the Mcpherson
woods, capturing some of the Union
soldiers. Before the sun had set on
the battle field Sheridan's men engaged
the southern hOrscmen i'll hand-to-hand
fight and rescued their comrades.
Col. J. \. Pattee of the Iron brigade
was clubbed over the head by George
p. Dillon of the Thirty y-fourth battalion
of the Confederate cavalry, under Gen.
Early, when the Union men were rout-
ed earlier in the engagement, and
dragged, a prisoner, into the southern
ranks. When Sheridan's troopers
dashed to the rescue, Dillon was in
turn dubbed over the head by two of
Pattee's comrades from his own regi-
ment, who rescued Pattee and captured
Dillon.
Dillon stole a Federal horse during
the night and made his escape to the
accompaniment of piCkets bullets, He
met Pattee many years afterWard at a
soldier reunion in West Virginia, and
two years later organized the Old Sol
dier Fiddlers.
When the hddlers visited the soldiers
home at Sawtelle yesterday to give a
free concert for the benefit of their old
comrades Pattee and Dillon were as
tonished to recognize the two men who
effected the formers rescue and the lat
ters capture. They are G. d. Ed
ridge of company A and James Gunso-
ley of company G, Twenty-fourth Mich
igan, Iron brigade, army of the Poto-
mac.
The four veterans could hardly re-
strain their joy at meeting one another
again, and an hour was passed IN again
fighting the battle of Gettysburg. Both
Eldridge and Gunsoley will hear their
comrades at the Orpheum this week.
The reception o the fiddlers at Saw
telle yesterday was enthusiastic. They
had no sooner alighted from the street
car than the men in blue swarmed
about the two fiddlers in gray and eX-
tended their hands in cordial grasp.
The fddlers. comprising Pattee, Dill
lon, Major c. H Hamersly of Capt.
Ford's cavalry, Corporal G. a. w. Ford
and Capt. F. f. Turner gave a concert
on their violins, playing tunes familiar
to many of the men present.

according to E. Griffith, who Is suing

court for damages for the alleged vio-
lation of a garbage contract.

entered into a contract to supply Grif-
fith's pigs with the cafeteria garbage
for which the restaurant men were
to receive $500 yearly.
The pigs lived high for four months.
They fattened. Pork was going up
and Griffith wore a prosperous smile.
Then he claims. Colby & Reed sold the
garbage concession to another man
and barred him from carrying away
tie 'left-overs" to his hogs at Vernon.
In vain Griffith attempted to sharp
en- the appetites of his hogs with
lunch counter "dainties" but the pigs
had fed we'll and grunted their disap-
proval, at the same time actually re-
fusing to touch the food. They also
lost weight at IAN alarming rate.
Griffith. desperate. filed suit for $299
damages, s. as to recover his less. He
offered to produce evidence in the
court but Judge Summerfield hurried
ly declined the proffer and has taken the
case under consideration for judgment
at ne future date.

WOMEN To SEEK VOTES
VIA SOLONS' STOMACHS
Suffragettes to Feed the BruteS
While Legislators Are
Meeting Here

Suffragettes of Southern California
are going after votes for women
which appear to be dependent on the
consent of man-in what is declared
to be the most effective manner pos
sible-via the appetites of Californias s
senators and assemblymen. They will
give the legislators a banquet Decem-
Der 16.
The senators and assemblymen will
hold a meeting in the chamber of COM
merce December 10, 16 and IL. Legis-
lation desired by Southern California
will be discussed Senator C. w. Bell
of Pasadena will have charge of the
meeting.
The first night the assemblymen will
be entertained at a banquet by the
National Guard at a place to be fixed
later, and the second night the suf-
fragettes will give them banquet at
the Alexandria. The National Guard
wants a larger appropriation, but the
Suffragettes want votes for women,
and through their experience in man
aging husbands and brothers and
things have found that the best way
to present their appeal is through the
stomachs of the men who can grant 1t.
The last day Of the session the as
semblymen will be guests at the lay
ing of the corner stone of the state
building in Agricultural park.

brotherhoods of the city. The Rev Hugh X.
Walker, pastor of Emmanuel Presbyterian
church, made the principal address.
In addition to a short address special mu-
sIcal programs are given and moving pic
lures illustrative of Biblical scenes have
proved very interesting.
In his address yesterday DR.. Walker spoke
particularly to the men who are not regular
church attendants, and although he spoke
but few moments his address proved Of
special interest.
This noon the Rev A. C. Smther. pastor
of the First Christian church, will make the
address, and the last noon meeting Of the

fused to give an account of his move
ments during the afternoon, Mrs. Aneta

hour or so and then sent to her home

husband remained away from his place
of business during the afternoon. She
called him on the telephone several
times and was told that he was away,
and when she went to the place last
night and met him he refused to tell
her of his movements. This angered

CITY SUES RAILWAY FOR
DAMAGING WATER Pipes
Electricity from Car Tracks Al
legged to Have Spoiled $780,
600 Worth of Mains

Damages of $4,000 was yesterday
demanded of the Los Angeles-Pacifo
railway by City Attorney j. w.
Shenk. The damages asked are for
mains laid by the water department
that have been ruined by electrolysls
The formal demand is preliminary TO
a suit the city attorney expects to file.
Between February and July of this
year the water department laid %
and 42-inch mains from lVanhoe res
ervoir No. 2 in Melrose avenue to Ben
eft street, west in Benefit to vermont
and south in Vermont to Wiltshire
This was the big feed pipe that Will
be used as part of the city's distrlp-
uting system for the owens river
water.
At several places the tracks of the
Los Angeles Pacific Hollywood and
Colegrove lines cross this pipe, ana
wherever electric railway tracks cross
q steel water pipe electrolysls is
factor to be reckoned with. Inc elec-
tric current that is communicated TO
the tracks will jump from the tracks
to a steel water pipe any time II gets
chance and run along the pipe
through dry ground. When II strlkeS
wet ground it jumps off the pipe and
WITH every jump l"ROS
pipe with it.
In order to provide a means Of car
rying the current from the pipe back
to the track without damage to the
pipe, the tracks and pipe We're con-
nected at Sunset boulevard and at
Vermont and Santa Monica boulevard.
AS long as the tracks remained in po-
sition this arrangement prevented
damage to the pipe But when sun
set bouleRard was improved the rail-
way company tore up its tracks on
that street and neglected to provide
cables or any other means of carry
ing the current back to the transform
ing station. The bonds connecting the
tracks and water pipe made condl-
tions much worse for the pipe .thah IL
there had been no bonds.
1t is estimated that 1900 feet OF pipe
have been damaged and that 5000 feet
have been rendered worthless.
