PASADENA'S LIQUOR LAWS
Arc to Be Pretty Thoroughly
Tested
SOME CASES NOW ON TRIAL
Will All Be Appealed to th: Supreme
Court
Action of the City Council—Death of en
Old Citizen—Personal Notes and
Local rientlon
' PASADENA,Oct. B.—Pasadena's liquor
ordinance is to be pretty thoroughly
tested before the cases now pending are
settled. Tho Fluke case was argued yes
terday before Judge Smith of department
one of the superior court, and the Prittie
ease, in which the defendant was found
guilty today in tho recorder's court, will
be appealed also. In the former case, in
wbicb tbo defendant, Harry Fluke was
found guilty of a violation of ordinance
No. 220 and fined $ MO., bis attorney,
Judge M. 0. Hester, had tho caso up for
review yesterday under habeas corpus
proceedings. In his argument Judge
Hester's fust point was that the judg
ment of the recorder's court is invalid
on its face for the following reasons:
First—Because it does not appear from
tbe record tbat the jury was empaneled
or sworn to try the case.
Second—Because the verdict returned
by tuo jury was not entered on the min
utes of tbe oourt.
Third—Because it was not shown that
the defendant was informed of tbe ver
diot or asked why judgment should not
he pronounced against him.
Fourth—Because the defendant was
not adjudged by the court guilty of the
offense charged.
City Attoney Arthur answered these
objections by tbe following points:
The omissions in the recorder's docket
Were immaterial and non-essential.
As for the meeting place of tbe council
being fixed by ordinance, tbis is di
rectory and not mandatory. Else how
could the first meeting of the council,
before any ordinances were passed, be
legal?
Aa for the alleged unreasonableness of
the ordinance, since the supreme court
bas held that the absolute prohibition of
tbe sale of intoxicants comes within the
province of municipal authority, tbis
must of necessity include the power to
l 'gulate such sale when allowed.
Tbe decision of Jndge Shaw in tho
John Senioh case was cited, from which
the follow in.' words aro quoted:
"The words ot the ordinance are:
'Any tippling house, dram shop, cellsr,
saloon, bar, bar room, sample room or
other place where spirituous, vinous,
malt-mixed liquors are sold or given
away.'
"It is insisted tbat these words do not
include any place wbere liquors are sold
or given away, except a tippling house,
dram shop, cellar, saloon, bar, bar room
or sample room, and that the words 'or
other place' add nothing to the meaning
of tbe ordinance and might as well have
been omitted.
"The mere statement of tbe proposi
tion makes it seem absurd, and 1 shonld
not think it worthy of discussion were
it not that an ancient rule of statutory
construction, namely, that wbore special
words are followed oy general words tbo
general woras are to be limited in their
meaning so as to apply only to things
of the same kind as tba special words de
note."
The city attorney further advanced the
proposition tbat none of the questions
involved in these proceedings may prop
erly be reviewed under an application tor
a writ of habeas corpus,but should come
up on appeal only.
The trial of Dr. Prittie for violation of
ordinance 20 occupied but little time in
the recordei's court this morning, the
object of the defense being plain from the
beginning—tint is, to appeal tbe case.
A. It. Metcafe, esq., appeared for the
defendant, the prosecution being repre
sented by City Attorney Artbur. A
jury ffas waived agreeably to stipulation
and tbe trial proceeded at once in the
presence of a court room full ol specta
tors, prominent among whom were a
numoer of members of the enforcement
committee.
Deputy City Cleric Banghara was the
first witness, called for the purpose of
reading the ordinance, which he did.
George H. Carpenter was then placed
upon tbe stand. He testified tbat he
went Into tbe drug store on the 6th
of September and bought of Dr. Prittie
a small bottle of whisky, for wbich he
gave 25 cents. He said that Dr. Prittie
at first refused too give it to him, saying
he was to young to be drinking, but be
said he wanted it badly, and then the
dootor sold it to him. He took it out to
two companions and together they drank
it, back of Braley's store. Also bought
whisky at the same place September 18,
neither time on a persenption, but
simply to drink. On crosa-exantnmntion
the witness said • that be did not say be
was sick, or make up any excuse lor
wanting tbe liquor for anything else
than to drink. That he was in the em
ploy of the enforcement committee at a
aalary of $2 per day and expenses.
Tho next witness. Edward Hobson,
corroborated tho testimony of Carpenter
as to the drinking of the whisky on the
two occasions whicn he bud seen brought
from Dr. Prittie's drug store, and on two
occasions had seen it bought there with
out a preacriptioon. He was also in the
employ of the committee on the same
pay as tbe last witness.
No further testimony was taken. At
torney Arthur not caring to argue the
case, Mr. Metcahe made an argument to
show that drug stores were not included
in tho words "othei places" of the ordi
nance, on the ground that the general
terms following specifio words are re
stricted in their meaning by the specific
words themselves. He cited several de
cisions in support of this point,wbile the
city attorney cited the decision of Judge
Snaw in tbo Senicb case, in which he
characterizes this idea as "an ancient
rule of stalurory construction' which
should give place to reason,a better guide
than mere grammatical construction.
Recorder Rossiter hardly thought the
ordinance would admit of drugigsts' sell
ing liquor by tbo bottle to be used simply
as a beverage, and consequently adjudged
the defendant guilty aa charged.
Mr. Metcalfe said his object was to get
n review of tho ordinance in the supreme
court and that tne judgment was satis
factory to him.
By stipulation sentence was deferred
until Thursday.
THE COUNCIL MEETING.
The city council met this afternoon,
with President Cox, Trustees Weed,
Washburn and Hamilton present.
There was a large gathering of citizens
in anticipation of the contest between the
rival electric road builders, but the mat
ter was deferred for one week. Mr. Met
calfe stateu tbat the officers of tho P. and
L. A. road would like to have the mat
ter continued for another week. Mr.
Webster, on behalf of tbe electric road,
confirmed this announcement, and added
that before the next meeting of the coun
cil all concerned hoped fo agree upon a
compromise by wbicn the building of
two roads to Altadena Would be avoided.
All know tbat botn roads cannot pay,
ami it would be in the interest of the
public to avoid it. His company hoped
to satisfy Profaasor Lowe end give the
public a loop line that would accommo
date everybody. On motion, further con
sideration of tbe matter was postponed
one week, tbe understanding being tbat

SAN BERNARDINO AFFAIRS
John Stcncel, the Stool Pigeon, Now
In Jail
He May Think Twice Next Time-Santa
Barbara Tourists—Personal
rttOttM
SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 8.-John
Stencel, the colorod bootblack who led
Charles White into a trap at ldlewild lost
week,has been living on prison fare him
self since Saturday night, all of wbich
leads him to the conclusion that other
republics are ungrateful.
As published at that time, Stencel was
then under bonds to keep tbe peace, the
complaint which resulted in that baring
been sworn out by his wife,whom he was
In tbe habit of using for a football. After
being in jail for that offense, M. V. Crop
ley and M. L. Cook finally became sure
ties in the sum of $100 tbat Stencel would
thereafter be a true and loving busband,
and that his right leg wonld forget its
cunning.
But they did not count on him becom
ing either a professional bold-up or a
detective, and believing that he was
dangorously near the dead line the bonds
men surrendered Stencel, and be bas
since been in durance vile. An effort
has been made to secure new bondsmen,
but as yet it has not been successful.
In speaking of the mutter the bonds
men give as their reason not only the
fact that Stencel was not conducting
himself as a tboiougbly peaceable citizen
should, but their disapproval of the
methods by which White came to grief
at ldlewild. A siring of "ifs" ars sug
gested, prominent among tbem the fact
that Wbito might never bavo attempted
to rob John Laurence, if a revolver bad
not been furnished bim. Stencel may
think twice next time.

Tbe congregation is anxious that- some

more territory to the district. The meet

Holoomb and S. F. Daniels acted as sec
retary. A resolution was offered for sig
natures which read as followst
Resolved, Tbat we, the undersigned
stockholders of the Anaheim Union Wa
ter company, do hereby oppose the pres
ent proposed addition of 6600 acres of ter
ritory to tbe present bounaa'ies of said
company's territo»y.
The signatures to the above were: Syd

Vail, G. W. Sponable, F. R. Holcomb, F.
Dansar, S. F. Daniels, R. Porter, J. K.
Tuffree. W. J. Smith, H. Burdof.
On motion ot B. F. Porter a commit
tee of three was appointed in each school
distriot to ascertain the sentiment of the
stockholders on the subject, secure sig
natures to the resolution condemning
the measure and to procure proxies.
The committee appointed was as fol
lows: Placentia district. George B. Key,
Captain H. Wrede and Mr. Pendleton;
Fullerton district, A. McDermont, S. F.
Dunieis and G. W. Sponsabld; Orange

day evenings following. A committee of
three, consisting of F. R, Holcomb, Cop
tain Wrede and A. Staley, was appointed
to prepare a statement of tbeir case for
tbe press. Then followed a general dis
cussion.of the question at issue, during
which many irrelevant points were rung
in by tho excited orators, but no converts
were made.by either side, and from this
time until after tho vote on the question
of extending the trritory ia taken, jrnicli
is set lor the 10th inst.. there is going to
be a hotly contested campaign.
Tim pre?s committee has prepared an
address to the stockholders, from which
the following extracts are taken t
"At Ibe meeting of the stockholders of
the A. U. W. Co., who are opposed to
the present proposed change in the
boundaries of tbe territory of said com
pany, ami the addition of 6600 more to
said territory, a committee wus appointed
to lay before ihe stock holders of the
company the reasons for our opposition
to the scheme.
"In the first place we have already up
wards of 12,000 acres within our present
boundaries, only a little over one-half of
which is covered by water stock, and our
present water supply has bo far iirnved
inadequate to meet tbe demanis of the
present acieage at nil seasons of the year,
and we do not think it a wise thing to
increase our present territory. . . .
"In the second place we do not
think that sufficient time bas elapsed
since the repairs and improvements on
the ditches and Humes have been made
to snow that the supply is sufficiently
increased to irrigate nearly as much
land as tbe present acreage. In the
third place we think tbat not an inch
uf water bas been run to waste in the
sand washes this season, but could and
would have been used by irrigators if
the board of direotors had not fixe.l the
price per head so high and the time of
service so short as to prohibit the use
by the stockholders in except in case
of extreme necessity.

MATTERS AT RIVERSIDE
Miss Tresslar's Narrow Escape From
an Assailant
The Scoundrel Hade Hla EscapJ—The for
esters' Convention—No Damagea
for Fumigation
RIVERSIDE, Oct. 8.-Miss Tresalar,
the 16 year-old daughter of S. P. Tress-
Jai, had an exceedingly unpleasant en
counter with a. dastardly wretch while re
turning from church Sunday evening.
She bad reached the corner of Tenth and
Wallace streets and the villain was lying
in wait fur her.
As soon as Miss Trcsslar came near tbe
man the latter giabbed her and at the
samo time attempted to plaoo a wad of
cloth he carried in one of his hands over
her mouth. Miss Tresalar struggled witb
the brute ana finally succeeded In get
ting out of his clutches, whereupon she
ran homo screaming for help. It is need
less to say the chap made himself Snares
as soon as Miss Trcsslar got away from
him. Miss Trcsslar cannot give a very
good description of her assailant, but
says he was a large man aud a young one
also.
THE CUMMIXGS AT SAX QUENTIN.
Sheriff Johnson returned from San
Quentin iate Saturday evening, after
having landed John and Caßsar Cura
mlnga in the state penitentiary. Captain
Johnaon atated tnat the boys maintained
thoir composure to the very last, espe
cially was this the case witb Caesar.
The boys were very much disappointed
when Sheriff Johnson tjok them to Los
Angeles via Orange. They made no se
cret of their chagrin over not being taken
on the Southern I'acilic road, which
would take tbem through El Monte, the
home of the prisoners. Captain Johnson
says that the boys told bim in Los An
geles that 100 of their friends had gath
ered at El Monte to sen them when they
passed through. Asked what was the
purpose of this large gathering, Caesar
repiied that the officers would have
found out if the opportunity hail been
given.
It is needless to add that this story
was no credited by Sheriff Johnson. On
the way north the boys talked freely of
their approaching doom, and bath stated
that it was their purpose to sell their
bodies to the highest bidder. John par
ticularly insisted that tbo man who paid
the most money would get his body.
When Captian Johnson parted with the
prisoners they both shook bands with
him and thanked him for kindesses re
ceived at iiis hands. At the final parting
John told Ihe sheriff thoc he expected to
come back to Riverside, a belief no doubt
founded upon the probability that tbe
supreme court will reach the appeal in
their case pi ior to tbe day of execution.
While at San Quentin Sheriff Johnson
met nnd talked with Charles Marshall,
tne condemned murderer of Frank Ham
ilton, and Albert Lnrsen. Captain .lonh-
Bon says that Marshall looks well. Mar
saall's arm is well, although nut as good
as it was before Hamilton put a bullet
through it. Marshall is looking forward
to th i day when be will be back here for
a new trial, as ho says. Marshall referred
to his claim for a fourth interest in the
McHenry mine, while talking with tho
sheriff, and talked as though he be
lieved he had a eood case.
Marshal! is evidently of a sanguine turn
of mind, if in earnest in his talk abont a
new trial and a quarter interest in ihe j
big mine, for no one who knows the facts
in eithor case believes lor n moment that
be will over jret a new trial, or that he
will establish bis claim to a share in the
mine mentioned.
The high court of Independent Forest
ers oi the state met in annual convention
here today. The convention was called
to order at 2 p. hi., with fully 2tlo dele
gates present, representing all the courts
of the order In the state. The only work
done by the convention was to organize
and appoint committees, after Watch
sixty candidates weie given the high court
degroe. Tsonldht ttie delegates were
given a grand roception at Odd Fellows
hall, where they were welcomed by tho
looal court anil lending citizens.
Judge Noyes of this county handed
down a decision today which is of vital
interest to all engaged in fruit crowing.
Some time ago E. E. Baboock, an orange
grower, brought suit against the county
to collect $;;000 damages claimed by him
to havo been done to his grove In pro
cess of E" s fumigation. The court ren
dered a lengthy decision, in which tho
county is sustained and liabcock is not
awaided damages. Tho decision has been
awaited with interest here, as upon it
largely depended the action of the au
thorities and fruit growers in the import
ant matter of fumigation for the destruc
tion of scale pests.
NOTES.

Roe, met with a painful accident Sun
