AN INTKRSTATB COMMERCE CASE.
The petition of the plaintiff for a tem
porary injunction in the case of the
Interstate Commerce Commission vs.the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railway
company et al., to restrain the defend
ants from charging a higher rate for the
transportation of freight from Missouri
river points to San Bernardino than to
Los Angeles county, which is now pend
ing before Judge Ross in the circuit
court, was denied yesterday. Tbe de
fendants filed their answer, alleging
that the transcontinental rates to San
Bernardino were just and reasonable
and not extortionate, and that, as there
are ocean carriers competing for busi
ness to Los Angeles, they are compelled
to reduce their rates to this point. The
matter was referred to the examiner in
chancery for the taking of testimony.
Witnesses will also be heard in San
Francisco and Chicago.

ANOTHER MISSING MAN.
A Pomona Man Walks From His
House Into the Unfindable.
A special dispatch from Pomona states
that lot about ten days Albert M. Metz
ger has been missing from his beautiful
ranch home, west of Spadra, in this
vicinity, and his wife and children are
beside themselves with grief at his loss.
Metzger started on the morning of
Saturday, June 27th. to buy a few
household articles at the country store,
two miles from his house. He has not
been seen or heard of since. His dis
appearance could not be more complete.
His wife and friends have done all pos
sible to find the missing man or get
some clue to his whereabouts, but they
liave been unsuccessful.
No motive can be assigned for Metzger
leaving his home so suddenly and
silently. Messengers have been sent
out to hunt for the man, but they can
learn nothing.
Metzger owns over |50,000 worth of
property in this valley, and has always
been an upright, industrious and honest
man. He is very religious and charit
able. He was once a merchant in Red
Bluff, and has two sisters and many
nieces and nephews in San Francisco
and Stockton. His age is 51, and his
height is 5 feet 10 inches. He is very
bald and has a full gray beard and fine
set otnatural teeth.
MUIR PAID HIS FARE.
A Railroad King Has to Pungle Up a
Nickel.
Mr. J. A. Muir has had a great deal to
do with giving passes, and he has always
been liberally inclined about such mat
ters. Yesterday he had a little expe
rience which will make him sympathize
more than ever with those unhappy
beings to think; they ought to have free
transportation, but who have been left
off the list.
Mr. Muir stood yesterday morning at
the corner of Main and Fourth streets,
admiring his new electric railway. The
evenly laid rails, the symmetrical poles,
the burnished copper wire, all appealed
successfully to his sense of beauty. Soon
the warning sound of a gong was
heard, and a car came along
and Mr. Muir got on board to go to his
office at the Arcade depot. Now it hap
pened that Captain Bariett had put a
man on as conductor of that car who bad
not been but a few days in the city, and
who did not know Mr. Muir. As the
latter gentleman settled himself com
fortably in his seat his ear was assailed
by the sound of the unusual words to
him:
"Fare, please."
Muir smiled at the man and replied,
"I'm Muir."
"That's all right, but I want your
nickel," was the answer.
The other passengers began to get in
terested, and Mr. Muir again explained:
"I'm Mr, Muir. I'm an officer of the
road. That's all right, my man; I don't
pay any fare."
THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1891.
'Tf you don't pay fare or show a pass
you don't ride. See?" answered the
conductor. "I don't know anything
about any officers who don't carry
passes."
Why, of course, Mr. Muir had a pass.
He felt in this pocket and that, and
began to perspire, for no pass could he
find. The conductor smiled triumph
antly, and stopped the car.
"Now you'll nave to get off," he said,
"or pay your fare."
Mr. Muir told the man that he was
taking just the right course, and that
he didn't blame him a bit. "Of course
I'll pay," he added. "I thought you
knew me, and that I had my purse, br I
would have paid you in the first place,"
and he put his hand in his pocket to get
a nickel. There was no such coin there,
or any other kind. It was the same in
the other pocket. He had forgotten to
put both his money and his book of
passes in his clothes that morning. The
passengers commenced to smile, and
Muir felt as if some Salton weather had
struck the town. Just as the situation
was becoming too tense to be comfort
able, an acquaintance of the embarrassed
railroad king, who had sat out of sight
and enjoyed his dilemma, came forward
and loaned him a nickel. The conduc
tor rang, the car went on and Mr. Muir
sat down and mopped off his forehead.

JUDGE SMITH SUSTAINED.
The W. C. T. U. Approves of His
Sentence of Fleming.
The following matter explains itself:
Since a number of articles have re
cently appeared in ourcity papers, tend
ing to influence tbe mind of the public
against tbe wisdom and justice of Judge
Smith's decision in the case of Anna Pe
terson vs. S. J. Fleming, the members
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
union of Los Angeles feel it to be their
duty to publicly express their approval
of that decision, whereby a man of so
cial influence, and one who has stood be
fore tha people as a teacher of moral and
spiritual truths, has had pronounced
upon him, an enemy of purity, a punish
ment which will impress upon such men
the fact that the law does offer some
protection to working girls, and that the
better portion of tbe community abhors
such sins.
It is a matter for congratulation that
we have upon the bench some judges
who have the moral courage to mete out
to men,who are proven guilty oi such of
fenses, a merited punishment.
We need more of the same clear-cut
justice. Executive Committee

NO WATER.
People on the Hills Without Power to
Fight Fire.
The families living on the hills in the
vicinity of Westlake park, are complain
ing of the fact that the water company
furnishing their district is in the habit
of turning off the supply of late after
dark, thus in the event of fire removing
all protection.

living on Burlington avenue, near Ar
nold street, were compelled to hastily

caught on fire, and there was no water
on hand.
Fortunately, some neighbors arrived
in time to save the house. Oue of them,
Mr.'H. H. Morris, succeeded in getting
on the roof. A supply of water was
found in a barrel at a house near by,
and buckets full were handed up to Mr.
Morris, who in a short time had the
flames under control.
REDDICK IN AUSTIN.
The Lawyer and His Frail Companion
Located.
Laßt winter the Herald announced
the flight of Charles R. Reddick from
this city in company with a prostitute
named Lily Stephens, with whom he
was infatuated. Reddick had a wife
and children here, was successfully
practicing law and had political aspira
tions.
He became completely entangled in a
liason with the woman mentioned, how
ever, and one afternoon they packed
their trunks and vanished. Since then
until yesterday nothing has been
heard from the wretched couple. Yes
terday a Herald reporter was told, on
very good authority, that the two were
living in Austin, Texas. The occupa
tion followed by young Reddick was not
given, but it is moie than likely that he
has fallen'to the level of his companion.

cured by Mm:
For nearly three years I was Bick with what European doctors called jaundice. My skin,
tongue and.whltes of my eyes were as yellow as a sunflower. I could not eat, drink or sleep.
Dr. Woag's diagnosis was that my disease originated from ray spleen and had extended to my
heart. I took Dr. Wong's medicine for ten days; have taken no medicine since and am enjoying
excellent health, A. H. AVILA, 1012 Brooklyn avenue,
August 22,1890. Los Angeles, Cal.
1 suffered for four years with consumption and was treated by the most able doctors obtain
able, but was given up to die. Dr. Wong's famous remedies restored me to perfect health in
three months' time. I consider Dr. Wong one of the most able physicians I have ever met.
MRS. C. FRY, Ensenada. Lower Cal.,
August 18,1890. Formerly of Los Angeles. Cal.
Four years ago my daughter, Virginia Bell, was treated by Dr. Wong for what eminent
physicians called nip disease, and had pronounced incurable after treating ber for seven or
eight years. Dr. Wong's diagnosis was that she was afflicted with one of the thirteen forms of
cancer. His medicine effected a permanent cure in seven months' time. Two years ago my
grandson became blind in one eye. Dr. Wong restored his sight and the eye to a perfectly
healthy condition in three weeks' time. A. LASSWELL,
August 3,1890. Savannah, Cal.
For nearly one year I was treated by the most noted physicians of New York City to whom X
paid $25 per day for medical advice. They failed to prevent me from running down. Finally
these physicians told my friends that my case was Incurable, and that I could not possibly live
one year as I was in the last stages of consumption. Dr. Wong cured me in four months'time,
and I am as well as any man in the world, and have worked hard for two years' time.
