LILLIAN AND MAUD EMBRACED.
Mr. Dickson Denies the At
tempted Suicide.
They Smelled Gas but Conld Not Tell
Where It Came From.
AJt. and Mrs. Dickson Evidently Are
;j»uch Enamored of Each. Other
and the Incog Uonipany
Is Happy.
Tbs Herald Rome days ago exclu
sively published the account of the nar
row escape from asphyxiation at the
Madeau hotel of Miss Lillian Burckhardt
ol the Incog company, who, off the stage,
is known as Mrs. Charles Dickson, wife
of the well-known comedian. Aa stated
then Miss Burkhardt was found laat
Saturday night in her room at the
Nadeau in an unconscious condition, the
gas being turned on full and all tbe
windows being closed. It was rumored
that Miss Burckhardtthought ehe had
reasons for being jealous of her hus
band's attentions to MisßMaud Haslam,
the leading lady of tbe company.
The Btockton Mail of Tuesday giyee
the following iurther details aboui the
matter:
The dispatch from Lob Angeleß pub
lished in yesterday's issue of the Mail
concerning Mr. and Mrs. George Dick
son and Miss Maud Haslam of the
Incog company was referred to the in
terested ones last night by a Mail re
porter, and they denied in toto the
story of Mrs. Dickson's attempted sui
cide and her alleged jealousy of Miss
Haslam. But in various ways it waa
learned that there was a scene in the
Nadeau hotel in Los Angeles, where tbe
troupe was staying, that might reason
ably give rise to the suicide rumor.
SAID TO HAVE BEEN HYSTERIA.
It seems that Mrs. Dickson, whose
stage name is Lillian Burckhardt, has
not been in good health for some time.
She is of a highly nervous temperament,
anyway, and her illness, which is some
what of a seriouß nature, has a strong
tendency to aggravate her sensitive con
dition; and it must be apparent that
the .part of the laughing girl which she
plays in Incog has not a tendency to im
prove her nervous Btate. It may be sur
mised from this explanation that Mrs.
Dickson is inclined to hysteria, and it
was a spell of this kind, according to
those who claim to know all about it,
which led to the trouble in Los Angeles.
Mr. Dickson wanted his wife to go
ahead of the company to Salt Lake or
Denver and rest there until they ariived.
He argued that ahe would never recover
if she insisted on playing the one night
stands, or even moving witb the troupe
so rapidly. Mrß. Dickson was not in
clined to act upon tbe suggestion, and
exclaimed wit h tbe petulance of a young
wife, when Mr. Diclißon ineisted that
this was the best thing for her to do,
that he wanted to get rid of her, or
made some other remark equivalent to
that. By that time ehe waa in Buch a
nervous state that ehe could not play.
Mrß. Connelly, the wife of tho tal
ented Ed. J. Connelly, another member
of the troupe, is Mrs. Dickson's undat-
Btudy, and her services are kept wholly
in reserve in anticipation of Mrs. Dick-
Bon's sickness or passing indisposition.
Mrs. Connelly played that night.
A HONEYMOON SPAT.
Mr. and Mrs. Dickßon are yet in their
honeymoon, having married in Cincin
nati only six or seven weeks ago, and
the members of the company regarded
the little tiff between them as some
thing to be laughed at. As a young hus
band Mr. Dickson was inclined to think
more seriously of the matter. When*
the players returned to the hotel Gustav
Yorke and another one of the troupe
were sent as messengers to Mra. Dick
son's apart men is to invite her tv join
her husband and the several members
of the company at their customary mid
night lunch.
Mr. Yorke got no response to his
knock. He listened, and all was still.
Then he entered. He caw two unoccu
pied rooma with a bathroom adjoining.
The gas was burning brightly. No big
theatrical trunks were in eight. Mr.
Yorke thought of that lovers' quarrel,
and an exciting sequel flashed across his
imaginative mind in an instant. "She
has run away," was the thought, and
Mr. Yorke, followed by messenger No.
2, went tearing down stairs, and rush
ing into the presence of the players, he
exclaimed dramatically: "My God!
She is not there! She haa gone witb
the trunks and everything."
A scene of bustle and confusion fol
lowed.
Mre. Dickson had not gone. The ex
planation was eimple. There was a
bedroom beyond the bathroom. It had
been engaged by the Dicksona. Mr.
Yorke didn't know it. The trunks were
in there. So was Mrs. Dickson.
The door waa locked ou the inside.
More excitement waa to follow.
When an entrance wan made the smell
of gas was strong, and Mre. Dickson was
iouud in a weak condition, A doctor
wae hastily summoned, and she was
soon all right. It became whispered
around then that ehe had attempted
suicide by asphyxiation.
"ONLY SEWER OAS."
Mr. Doblin, the manager of the Incog
company, invited the Mail man to Mr.
Dickson's dressing room between the
acts last night. "I want this thing Bet
right," said he, "becauae a great in
justice has been done Miss Haslam by
the published dispatches, and bb for Mr.
Dickson, tbere never was a more de
voted husband."
"It's all rot," eaid Mr. Dickson, "and
there is not tbe slightest foundation for
putting my name and Miss Haslam'B
together. Nobody knows that better
than Mrs. Dickson. isn't that so,
dear?" he added, turning to hiß wife.
"Why, certainly, Oeorge," eaid'Bhe,
smiling sweetly.
"I told Mrs. Dickson," eaid her hus
band, and he gently patted her cheek
once or twice, and then took her hand
and patted it as he spoke, "tbat she
had better play here tonight to dispel
any doubt about her usual health and
our domestic harmony. Were it not ior
thiß reason I would insist upon her re
maining off the stage for a while, be
cause Bhe is really in no condition for
excitement.
"Now, as regards that gas business,
my wife knows nothing about it. We
smelled gas, but did not find out where
it came from. It wae perceptible at
any time all over the hotel, but par
ticularly so in this closed room. I think
lii■>'.,, it wae sewer gaß."
Then Miss Haßlam waa summoned,
and she endorsed the statement made
by Mr. Dickson. "There never hae been
any feeling but friendliness between
"When pain and anguish wring the brow
A mlalssdring aagsl tuou"—Bromo Sol tzer.
Mrs. Dickson and myself," she re
marked.
The two beautiful women smiled
sweetly at each other, and during the
conversation they graceiully posed in
each other's embrace.
THAT FROST IN FLORIDA.
None of tho Leading Commission Houses
Know I im : uin . About it.
Yesterday morning a rumor was cur
rent on the streets that an Arctic bliz
zard had shot along the entire Atlantic
coast, extending down into Florida and
damaging the orange crop oi that state
very Beriously.
As the orange crnp of Florida comes
into market about live to six weeks later
than tbat of Southern California, and as
the failure of the crop in Florida would
necessarily create an augmented de
• mond for Southern California citrus
fruits, a Herald raporter.waa dispatched
to interview come of the commission
houses with reference to the extent ot
the Florida blizzard.
He first went to the Earl Fruit com
pany, where he found Mr. Earl was out
of town, but the gentleman who waß in
charge of affairs said he bad heard of the
reported frost in Ftorido, but had no
definite reports from any of the eastern
correspondents of the bouse. The re
porter then went down to the Germain
company's warehouses on Loa Angelea
street, and the young gentleman at the
desk had heard nothing of the blizzard
in Florida. He admitted, however,
that it true ii meant higher priceß for
California orangee.
THE AGENTS CONVICTED.
GALLAGIIER AND SMITH EACH SEN
TENCED TO A FINE.
•
Poweleon's Case Again Continued by
Justice Austin—AXlnor Cases
Which Were Acted On
Yesterrlfty.
T. J. Gallagher and G. H. Smith, the
80-called emoloyment agents, pleaded
not guilty and were tried by the court.
They were ably defended by Attorney
Moye G. Norton, who succeeded in get
ting them a light sentence inj,the face of
overwhelming evidence. Witnesses were
examined but the main points of the
testimony did not vary from the facts
printed in the Herald yesterday. It
waa proved to the satisfaction of the
court that the prisoners accepted moneys
from the laborers applying for positions,
knowing that no positions could be
guaranteed, and had,6ent them to places
for work from which no orders had come.
The prisoners were found guilty, waived
time for sentence and were each sen
tenced to pay a line of $25 or the alter
native of 25 days imprisonment.

a jury trial.
Detective Gus Smith found an incor
rigible youth, known among the newa
gamins as Tony, in a private room in a
lodging house on Fourth and Main
etreets last evening. The boy gave as
an excuse that he waa trying to sell pa
pers, but as he had been arreated on
two other occaeiona, under similar cir
cumstances, he was taken to the police
station. Tony ia about 5 yeara of age
aDd iB about aa large as a piece of chalk.
Officer Smith stood him up on the clerk's
deßk and Clerk Heneley questioned him
about hia incorrigible conduct. He was
then shown the interior of a dark cell,
and on promising to behave in the fu
ture was turned loose, and lost no time
in leaving the station.

LOS ANGELES TTERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1*93.
PETER JACKSON ON EXHIBITION
The Australian Pugilist at
Turnverein Hall.
He and Frank Childs Do Some Easy
Sparring.
The Australian Greeted by a Large bnt
Unenthusiastlc Audience—A Talk
with the lilt; Fellow About
Ills Profession.
An opportunity was given to the
sport loving public last evening to Bee
the Australian colored pugilist, Peter
Jackßon, at the Turnverein ball. The
house was filled with spectators, but
little or no enthusiasm was shown.
A number of preliminary rounds were
given between local men and excited
little intereat until Peppers, the ex-long
distance rider, aud Cotton appeared for
f< ur rounds. Peppers is the man who
did up a lot of San Francisco Sports who
tried to md me bim recently to engage
in a false contest. His hands were in a
frightful condition last night, he being
unable to close them at all. Thia fact
the audience of course did not know,
and they could not understand why
Peppers did not mix it up more. Cotton
is a wonderfully muscular fellow, ac
agile as a kitten, and looks ns ii he
could put up a good contest.
Parson Davies then introduced Frank
Childs, the local heavy weight, and
Peter Jackson, the Australian. Jackson
is not in condition, but showed up a
wonderfully handsome figure, which is
moulded ou such symmetrical lines as
to hardly deceive one aa to the extent of
hiß muscular development. His arms
are co long as to give them the appear
ance of being slender.
Childa wae Inly a head, if not more,
Bborter than his opponent, but aa re
gards breadth of shoulders, and proba
bly circumference cf biceps, he is not
far behind the antipodean.
The five rounds were characterized by
friendly sparring, and served to show
nothing as to the ability of either man,
beyond their quiokueeß and the fact that
each was capable of hard work.
A TALK WITH PETER.
Parson Davies and Peter Jackson did
not show themselves much on the street
yesterday. The conqueror of Slavin
kept hie room, where he was visited
during the afternocn by a number of
the Bporting gentry. To those who
have only seen Jackson in training,
with those wonderfully tapered legs aa
hard as iron, he presented an odd ap
pearance. Hia weight is now about 218
pounds and he has a Bort of indolent
look that is quite the reverse of his
character. Jackson is not an Australian
by birth but was taken there when a
child by his father, who was Bteward on
a Bailing vessel. His place of nativity
was one of the West India islands. One
thing is always to be Baid of Peter—his
language is always courteous and never
protane or vulgar. A man could meet
him daily for a year and never hear
either a boaating word out of him or a
remark that might not be repeated in
the presence of a lady. The reporter,
looking the big man over for a minute,
said, " Well, Jackson, you certainly can
not have any fighting engagements on
hand, judging by your shape. You look
as big as a stack of corn?"
Two snowy white rows of ivory
gleamed through the colored man's lips
as he replied, "No, and I cannot say
that I am Borry. I am nearly 152 yearß
of age, and that ie pretty old for a
fighter, though not so for people in
other walks of life. I have bad some
hard fights in my time and I feel that I
am entitled to a rest. I shall fight no
body again but Jim Corbett, and he
doesn't Beem very anxious for it. It ie
rather late in the day for him to be
drawing the color lino after having
fought mo once for over three hours.
Had I been in the same condition as
when I met Slavin in England, that
fight might not have lasted so long."
"That wasa pretty sharp fight, Peter,"
eaid the reporter, "and you mußt have
been iv superb condition to have won it
as you did."
"I never can remember to have felt as
well as I did that night," eaid Jackson.
"Slavin felt very well, too, for some of
his blows were terrific. But a rushing
fight, such aB he made, was just into my
hand."
"Will you fight anybody but Cor
bett?" asked the scribe.
"No, Bir, not if I have anything to cay
about it, and I think I have. There is
no great money in righting. Training
expenses and wages of attendants eat
up a bushel of money. There ie not 60
much cost in exhibiting, and a good deal
more amusement. I am anxious to
meet Corbett, but nobody else. It is
just aB I tell you, fighting aud training
make pretty hard work. I feel lam en
titled to rest about this time, and I am
going to have it."
"They Bay you aregoiDg to be an actor,
Peter, like Sullivan and Corbett," eaid
the reporter.
'•Urn—is tbat what they call it?"
asked Jackson, as hia short upper lip
broke into a smile of incredulity.
"That's what I heard—that you were
going to appear shortly as Othello," re
plied the pencil-pusher.
The roar of laughter that came forth
from the big black man cannot be de
scribed. He threw open his black Prince
Albert coat and drew up hia tall figure
in his chair as with eyes almost swim
ming with tears, he eaid :
"No, sir, none of your tragedy for me.
Uncle Tom's CabiD, perhaps, but Othello,
never. You newspaper folks are sich
fellers to joke." And as the reporter
left the roi m, the black Herculeß shook
hiß hand kindly and added: "I'm ail
broke up on Othello!"
NOT EXORBITANT.
No Truth In a St. Fanl Alan's Alle
gations.
There appeared in an evening con
temporary ou Wednesday afternoon the
complaint of a resident of St. Paul, who
claims that he was overcharged for room
and board for himself and family at one
of the principal hotels in this city. As
the article in question reflected upon all
of the leading hotelß of Loa Angeles, a
Herald reporter last evening made a
tour of the principal ones to ascertain,
if possible, the exact circumstances nl
the case. Upon questioning Mr. M M.
Potter, the obliging manager of the
Westminster hotel, he at once acknowl
edged the article in question referred to
hie hotel, and waß anxioua to mans a
statement. "It is simply this: Mr. J.
11. Saunders, who ia without doubt
the originator of the publicatiou
in reference to my hotel, came to my
house on the 10th inst. accompanied by
his wife and young daughter. I gave
him the prices of the various rooms ac
cording to location, and he finally se
lected 12-1 on the eecoud floor, to which
is attached bath, toilet, closets, etc The
size of the room is 14x28 feet and facing
eastward, the tunny side of the house,
which are some of my choice rooms.
Vly rate was $10 a day for the three, but
ac Mr. Saunders agreed to remain a week
I made the price $9 a day, which wbb
apparently perfectly satisfactory to him
at, the time. During his sojou.-n in my
hotel he was furnished wiih two fires
and charged $1 for eaine, the customary
rate. This Mr. Saunders reluied to pay,
and subsequently I deducted it from his
bill rather than to have any argument
with him. He had no further
objection to his account, wbich
he paid without hesitation. My rates
are from 75 cents to $3 a day for rooms
without board, and from $2.50 to $0
with board. My guests have their
choice. I endeavor to treat every oue
as nicely as possible, and this is the first
time any complaint, has ever been made
to my charges. Mr. Saunderß, in his
statement, claims his room was 10x14.
This ia false." Mr. Potter then invited
the reporter to room 124, which wbh
measured, and it showed to be 14x28
feet and wae elegaDtly furnished, con
taining bath, toilet and closets, heing in
one of the finest locations iv tbe hotel.
It would seem Mr. Saunders had no
cause to complain for what he got, for ha
could hove been accommodated with
much cheaper quarters. In justice to
the hotels of Los Angeles it can be stated
their rates are very reasonable, and it is
seldom anyone evor has anything to aay
of a detrimental nature as to the prices
asked,
AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.
HE SUCCESSFULLY KUNS DOWN A
FKOsTESSIONAL CKOOK.
Tbe Result or a Merchant's Masquerade.
A Tramp Who Was Well
Provided for Cold
Weather.
A well known business man in this
city during the temporary lull of bus
iness and partly prompted by curiosity
to see what kind of a gang ia quartered
near the viaduct on First Btreet, re
placed hia nobby clothea with a last
year's suit; and thus disguised started
out to do a little detective work on
private account. He was so thorougly
disguised tbat a professional tramp mia
took him for one of their fraternity, and
when he eauntered in the free soup
joint, which is run by mistaken human
itarians, in the vicinity of tbe Santa
Fe depot, tbe merchant detective was
received in full fellowship by the noble
band of loafers, begg-ira and trampa
who make tbat place their headquarters,
when not down town beggiug and steal
ing.
He wsb approached by a tough look
ing fellow who gave the name of E. F.
Ludwig and was shown a watch, which
Ludwig said he had stolen. The mer
chant detective listened to the fellow's
statement, aud finally Ludwig proposed
to the merchant detective to go into
partnership with him. The novitiate in
the detective line wbb now satisfied that
he had judged ths gang rightly, and
without even the formality of flashing
up a star, took tho real tramp into cus
tody and brought him to the central
police station.
When seirched, Ludwig had his en
tire wardrobe with him. He wore two
coats, two vests, and two tattered gar
ments tbat had been shirts. A watch,
worth about $25, was found upon hia
person, which was taken charge of 1)
Clerk Moffttt. Ludwig was locked up
aa a suspicious character.

The firat masquerade ball given by
the Angelena circle No. 106, Companions
of the Forest, was held at Armory hall
last night. The affair was largely at

all respects. The costumes looked

One of the features of tho affair was a

There were plenty of clowns and jest

Joseph Craw, a boy aged 12 years,
was the victim of a horrible fatal acci

Arcade depot grounds. In attempting
to board a freight train his footing slip

ing on record to that effect. The girl's
choice fell on a young buck named Jim,
who wore owla' feathers in his hair and
had latitude and longitude lines drawn
ou his mug with red ochre.
On the payment of $5, whicb, among
Indiana, ia paid tho thrifty father-in-law
instead of to the probate judge or to the
equally rapacious justice of tiio peace as
prevails in our wasteful system, Jim
took hia bride home where half of the
Yuma trib» gathored to partake of the
wedding feaat, which conaieted of a lean
cow rescued by the Indians Irom a bog
in the river after she had been dead 11
dava; that beine the only time Indians
are willing to risk their lives and limba
in dragging cattle out of the mud.
Among the gormandizers at the mar
riage feast waa a sweet little red dump
ling whom Jim had never seen before
but who distanced hia bride ao far in
comeliness and artiatic designs in Ver
million on bet face that the young fel
low was struck all of a heap, and when
Mra. Jim would aek him to pass the
preserves or to slice some more of the
b~ned turkey, he would make the aw
fullest breaks on record and actually
poured a gallon of hot. tea down hia
bride's neck under the impression that
he was filling his tuest's cups.
Before morning Jim had determined
on a divorce. This in Indian life ie a
simple affair and consists simply in
bustling the old lady home, which Jim
did, instructing her after breakfast the
next morning to got out of his sight or
he would kill her.
The Indian "400" was not much sur
prised at thia move, for Jim has a habit
of changing wives about as often as he
changes his shirt; but when he an
nounced bis intention of immediately
wedding the new mush, Indian society
was shocked, and San Diego, who con
sidered the family escutcheon sullied,
delivered himself of a frightful collec
tion of Spanish expletives and went
gunning for the matrimonial deserter.
Our informant states that San Diego
loaded up the gun with as much powder
as he could afford and as much old iron
as be could find, and that the charge
really stuck out of the barrel more than
three inches.
Tbe fugitive from parental wrath took
to tbe hrueh until the old man had
cooled off and friends made him promiee
not to perforate the hide of the bride
groom at his next wedding.
THAT FOOT RACE.
Howard Does Not Think Much of Nsra-
mure'a Ability to Run.
The item in the Hebald a few days
ago in relation to the proposed Howard-
Naramore foot race seems to have stirred
up some feeling. Naramore made a
statement yesterday and today Howard
writes aB follows:
Sporting Editor Herald: In your
issue thia morning I noticed a commu
nication from Mr. T. 0. Naramore, jr.,
in relation to a proposed foot race be
tween him and myeelf. Mr. Naramore
claimed that the reason the match wan
not made waa because the "Howard
men" would not give him time to get
into shape. I regret that Mr. Naramore
lias seen fit to run into coteriety about
the affair. The proposition to run waa
made in the form of a joke and haa since
been so regarded. I will say. howeyer,
that while I am not a profeasional run
ner, I believe that I could give Mr.
Naramore a 25-foot handicap and then
beat him in a walk. C. V. Howard,
