CALABASAS ONCE MORE NEIGHBORLY AMENITIES OF A RURAL DISTRICT GUS KLEMAN'S TALE OF WOE Alleged Conspirators Thrash Him Well and Shoot at Him Twice With a Shotgun Calabasas has been heard of again with another little assault to murder. It is a somewhat ancient story, being nearly three months old, but the complaint ln the ea«e was only tiled yesterday. Gus Kleman. a little German rancher, charges Hill Elliott, Joe Robinson and Fe lipe Cordero with having assaulted him with a shotgun on December 22d with in tent to kill. Ho refrained until now from making complaint, because he had no wit nesses, but since Hill Elliott, whom Kleman believes to be the ringleader of the plot to assassinate him, kindly told Justice Richardson the particulars of the assault, the complaining witness believes that he can make the case stick against his as sailants. On December 22d Kleman went Into his Held to get a horse and hallooed to a boy who was passing on horseback to chase a bunch of 0 horses toward him. The boy,who was Elliott's son, apparently didn't hear as he hurried along without paying any at tention to Kleman's request, but It seems that he must have drawn conclusions from the sounds emanating from the German and communicated them to his father, as Bill pretly soon came "sloshing" along breathing vengeance against "that — Ger man —." At this time Felipe Cordero. who seems to have lent moral support only In the shindy, showed up. As Kleman was taking a walk toward his home, not feeling inclined for a scrap, Joe Robinson, a big husky fellow, who was at one time a hack driver In this city, came up armed with Bill Elliott's shotgun, effectually cutting off Kleman's retreat. He ordered the German rancher to hold up his hands and rapped him over the hea l and arms with the shotgun several times because he wasn't quick enough about It. Then he told Kleman to draw and fight, but Kleman says he didn't because In the first place he had no "weepin." and, ln the second place, he didn't want to tight. Rob inson ascertained that the other man wa X unarmed by passing his hands over his clothes. When he was satisfied that he was the only party present who had a shooter, he proclaimed the fact that he was going to polish oft Mr. Kidman lo such a finish that his mother wouldn't know hlin afterward If she saw him. He then con siderately laid the shotgun out of reach and gave Mr. Kleman a devil of a thrnsTtlng. But while he was thus engaged he unfor tunately tripped, and Kleman seized the opportunity to run away as fast as his short legs would permit him. His speed was still further increased when he heard two explosions from the gun and the bird shot whistling uncomfortably near Ills ears. At that time he was not very Interested to know who was doing the shooting and he therefore did not check his speed home ward to ascertain who was doing all th? cannonading, but since then he has laid awake of a night In hed to settle to his own *allsfact!on which one of the trio it was who presumed to bore daylight Into his anatomy. A few days ago Bill Elliott went ;e> Justice Richardson of Calabasas and in eiulred if there was a warrant out for his arrest in connection with the above-told ■pisode. as he had heard that Kleman was bragging around of what he was going to lo about It. I'pon being answered in the negative. "Bill he up and told It all." The justice in turn related the Elliott version of the affair to Mr. Kleman, who, putting his version and Bill's version together, concluded that he had a good cause of ac tion and obtained a warrant in Justice Young's court for the arrest of the three men. after he had unburdened himself of all the particulars of the tragedy to Assist ant D'strict Attorney Wm. T. Williams. HAS A VIVID IMAGINATION An Old Lady's Fancied Bodily Ail ments Drive Her Crazy Mrs. Mary A. Soutenler of Belmont ave nue, a lady fill years of age. wearing a red liood and a black siik handkerchief over her hair, was examined by Judge Van Dykt and two medical men yesterday on h charge of lunacy. The lady is a native of Maine. She showed many traces of re llnement but appears deranged on the subject of her bodily ailments. She thinks that she has ossification of the lungs and that she has recently successfully re moved a cyst or tumor from her head by means of surgical Instruments which she poked up her nose as far as they would go. She said that she Is a strong worker and as an instance of it related that she thought nothing of reading Carlyle or ma caulay for five or six hours at a stretch. Some of the neighbors of Mrs. Soutenitr said that she snuffed up quantities of co caine in an effort to cure the imaginary tumor in her brain. The lady offered to undergo any operation, for the sake of sci ence, to which the medical examiners would think fit to subject her. She begged fervently not to be sent back to the county hospital, as she said that she could obtain neither comfort nor decent food there. She said that she had kept a hotel at which she had entertained the president of the United States and she had at one time paid a not? for $337,000 in Mobile, Alabama, endorsed by her husband. A few more similar state ments and her wild talk on medical mat ters established the fact thoroughly that Mrs. Soutenler has many Ideas which make an asyium a safer place for her than the city at large. She was ordered committed to Highland. BAPIST PUNISHED Young Henry Bailey Goee to Folsom For Five Years For His Crime Henry Bailey, a young orange picker, who outraged a 9-year-old girl named Ma mie Wood at Rivera on the 12th of Febru ary, was sentenced to serve Aye years in the Folsom penitentiary yesten*ay by Judge Smith. Bailey, after the commis sion of his crime, tried to escape while be ing pursued by bloodhounds by changing his shoes and clothes. He was successful in evading the animals, but was tracked by the Rivera constable and arrested a few miles from that place the next after noon by that official. The youth, after several attemps ah prevarication, owned up to the outrage and pleaded guilty as soon as tho district at torney had (lied his information. There was an effort made by the attorneys who looked after Bailey's Interests to make the court believe that the culprit was not more than 16 years old, but hi* mature LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, J893 looks and build and the evidence belied this assertion. Nevertheless the court was un willing to sentence the young man until after the defense had had a chance ;o prove Its allegation that their client was barely 16, but they failed to adduce a'iv satisfactory proof to that effect. The sen tence would probably have been much more severe had the outrage been accompanied with brutality. As It is, the ends of Justice are fully satisfied. WHOSE WHEEL IS THISP Burke Foreclosed on a Chattel Mort- gage Without Process of Law H. F. Burke of East First street was tried yesterday by Justice Young on the charge of petty larceny, committed on March 13th. It. B. Parker, the complaining witness, said that ho had bought a Roscoe bicycle rrom the defendant for $30. At the time he paid him $10 down and $5 some time afterward, the balance being payable on the Installment plan. Last Sunday, while he was at Agricultural Coursing park, he missed his wheel and upon In quiry ascertained that It had been taken by a youth named Arthur Bruner. When Parker Informed Burke of the loss the latter disclaimed any knowledge of it. This boy on tho stand admitted that he had taken the wheel at the park under Instructions from Burke and turned it over to him. It was put in the back room at tho shop. The boy testified that Burke told him that If he was arrested for taking the wheel he would see to it that he got out and would stand by him. All tho facts brought out by the prose cution were admitted by the defense. It was claimed by Burkes attorney that he had a perfect right to take the wheel at any time, as the title remained vested In him until It was completely paid for. In support of this statement a promissory note and agreement combined, signed by Parker, was Introduced ln evidence and ad mitted, over the objection of the prosecu tion, by whom It was claimed that the promissory note had added to it a chattel mortgage which was not drawn up in ac cordance with the laws of this state, and was consequently void. The case was taken under advisement. LINDSAY'S TRADING It Showed Business Aptitude But It Lacked Honesty A complaint has been Issued for the ar rest of Wlngate Lindsay for felony em bezzlement alleged to have taken place on the Ist of September of last year. Lindsay was arrested once for the same transac tion, but released on technical grounds, the principal one being that he had not em bezzled the horse and buggy which he was charged with converting to his own use, as he had been empowered by John Nelson, the owner, to sell them. This defect has now been remedied by accusing him of converting the proceeds of the transaction to his individual wants. Old man Nelson gave Lindsay his rig with Instructions to sell it. This the man pro ceeded to do by trading the horse for an other one and getting $22.30 to boot. Next he sold the second horse for $35 and dis posed of the buggy, too, advantageously. Out of all the money thus received Mr. Nelson only got $10, and, being unable to obtain the rest, he wants revenge. BILL POSTERS AT LAW One Company Claims the Monopoly in the City and County The Merchants' Ad-Slgn company yes terday commenced an action against the Los Angeles Bill Posting company et al. to obtain an Injunction from the superior court prohibiting the defendants from car rying on the bill posting, board advertising and advertising sign painting business In the city and county of Los Angeles, and for $5000 for breach of contract.

Sterling for breach of a similar con tract, which consisted In an agreement refraining from bill posting, etc., for a cer tain period after the sale of his business, ln this case $1000 damages ls demanded, and an injunction ls prayed for to prevent the defendant from remaining a stock holder of the Los Angeles Bill Posting company or working for it.
