12 AN INHUMAN FATHER •ought to nam hm dauqhteb SO WHITTIBB HER TALE OF HIS CRUELTY •tat His Children Out to Work at a Zander Age—Brutal Beating*. His Bestial Actions A cat* tt snooklng parental depravity v brought to the notice of Deputy Dis trict Attorney Williams yesterday after noon, and. strange to say. the matter was unearthed through the agency of the of fender himself. George Beaumlster ot Prospect Park. The charges against him Include crimes which If proven against htm. would send him to the penitentiary, and are made by his 17-year-old daughter. Pauline, the eldest child in a family of nine. Beaumlster is a German and is employed as a woodturner in the Stern Manufactur ing company. Last Saturday he applied to the district attorney's office for a com plaint against his daughter, alleging that he was unable to do anything with her and that she was a nt subject for the Whittler reform scUool. He told Attorney Williams that Pauline had run away from home and was now making a living In the clty, ln any way, good or bad, particularly the latter; but not content with speeding down the path of wickedness by her "lone ly," she had Induced her younger sister, a girl of 14 years, to follow In her footsteps. Williams was not satisfied with Beaumls ter's tale alone, but hunted up Pauline, and obtained from her a story that set him thinking. The daughter denied 1 that She left her home because she wanted ro see the world, but srvldi that both she ami her sister were compelled to seek a home else where on account of the Inhuman treat men* of their rather. According to the daughter, the father beats his wife and children on, the least provocation) and acts little less than a brute. Three years ago she was compelled to leave her home and! got to work tor Leroy Mlatovleh, a single man, who rune a small winery at Prospect Park. Pauline was young, and when deprived of the care and watchfulness of her mother, who, from her account, Is a much-abused wo man, her downfall was not sudden but nevertheless sure. During the two years she lived with Mlatovleh all her earnings were paid to her father, who allowed her nothing but a scanty supply of ck>th4ng. She became tired of this and two months ago refused to give her father all her smell earnings. Beaumlster was enraged and drove her from Miatovich's and compelled her to seek her livelihood In the city. She soon drifted In with bad companions, Who led her astray. Her father hearing of this, went to her and after giving her a severe beating, tried to have her sent to Whittler. Penciling the gathering of evidence against her she was confined In the city Jail, where she fell sick from the effects of her 111-treatment and was confined to her bed for three weeks. Beaumlster was not utterly devoid of all feeling for his child, and offered to take her home and not make a case against her If she would herp support his family when she recovered. This she promised to do. Her eorovaleseenee was 1 not as rapid as her father wished, and he ordered her to go to work. He secured a place on a small ranch out of the city, where she was supposed to cook and do the kitchen work for fifteen ranch hands. Unable to stand, the strain, she left and returned! to her home, but was not received with open arms. On' the con trary, her welcome consisted ot 'beating. Again site ran away and secured a position, in a private family in fhe city. Beaumlster followed 1 her and demanded her wages. She refused and the attempt to send her to Whittler resulted. In the meantime all had not gome well at home, as might be expected. Anna, Beaumlster's 14-year-old daughter, had'not been neglected by the father, whose busi ness Instinct was highly developed, am*she was sent to the wlnemaker to till the place made vacant by Pauline's departure. Last week she, too, ran away and' is now living with a neighbor. Two other children, both boys, have also left the parental roor anid sought) a spot where fortune would smile brighter on them. Their whereabouts Is unknown. Yesterday father and daughter met In the district attorney's office and the situ ation was discussed. An appointment had been made with Beaumlster, but the fact that his daughter would be present was a great surprise to him. She told her story before him, and he would not or could not deny the truth of her statement. Pauline also accused her father with lw decent exposure of has person, and In formed Attorney Williams that Beaumls ter had on many occasions dined* In, the abbreviated costume of his undershirt. The assertion Beaumlster denied, but con fessed that hts residence was planned) on so small a scale that he was some times compelled to use the kitchen, which is also the dining room and also answers for a bedroom, as a dressing room. On several occasions Beaumlster has threatened to kill his daughter, and she Is of the opinion that lie will keep his promise If steps are not taken to prevent im. The charge Is not denied hy him. It la needless to say that Beaumlster did not secure a complaint, but stands In a good way of having one of a serious nature filed against him. He says he wants noth ing more to do with Ms daughter If he can not have her sent to Whittler. HILL STBEET AMENITIES Tha Miller-Walsh Feud Breaks Out qn.ee More Two residents on South Hill street, be tween whom neighborly love has failed to exist these many moons, have dug up their hatchets and are on the warpath. The principals ln this hostile action are C. F. Miller of No. 810 South Hill and D. F. Walsh . of No. 812 of the same street. Monday af ternoon Walsh secured a complaint In the district attorney's office charging Miller with having threatened to kill him on Sat urday last. Miller was arrested yesterday and was arraigned before Justice Young and had his examination set for Monday next. The history leading up to the charge Is the outcome of an old litigation between the parties. Four years ago Walsh, who owns property adjoining that of Miller, erected a house on his lot, placing the north side of the building on the line dl | vldlng their respective properties. In plan ning for the placing cf the structure Walsh neglected to take into account that the eaves of a building placed on a line divid ing the property would throw water from the roof on his neighbor's lot. If he did consider n he failed to allow tt to alter his plans, and when the building was finished the eaves projected at least ten Inches over the property belonging to Miller. Miller protested while the structure was tn the process of construction, but the "kick" was ot no avail. A few months later Miller decided to erect a rooming house on his property, and he, too, ordered the contractor to place It on the line dividing the properties. To do this the contraotor was compelled to saw off the eaves on Walsh's residence, which he did, under Miller's orders. Walsh, when he learned what was being done, was an gry and secured a complaint against Mil ler, charging him with trespassing. The latter was arrested and fined 3200 for tres passing. Later Walsh commenced a civil suit for 8500 damages, but the case did not hold. Since these occurrences the Walshs and the Millers have not been on speaking terms; ln fact, the atmosphere on that part of Hill street has resembled that around a smouldering volcano. Last Saturday the suppressed rage of months found vent ln a wordy encounter which resulted, accord ing to the statement made by Walsh, In Miller offering to make Walsh a subject for Inspection by the eoaoner. Miller denies that he said he would kill Walsh, but says he was very angry on ac count of Waleh's treatment of his (Mil ler's) ohildren. He claims that Walsh' Is ln the habit of pointing a revolver at Miller's son when he passes the complaining wit ness' place, and says that last Saturday while Miller, Jr., was watering the lawn, Walsh started toward Miller. Jr., with a knife, whereupon Miller, Jr., called for assistance and his father came with all possible speed to his rescue. He made for Walsh, who retreated, overtook him and gave him a dressing that Walsh resented. The case will be well aired next Monday ln Justice Young's court. Another phase of the controversy came up ln the police court yesterday afternoon when the Miller boy was arrested and brought Into court by Officer Richardson on a warrant sworn to by Mrs. Walsh, al leging disturbance of the peace. Mrs. Walsh Is the plucky little woman who gained distinction a year ago by refusing to allow the Santa Monica Electric Rail way company to erect one of its poles ln front of her door. She claimed that prop erly the pole should have gone ln front of the house of Miller, her next door neighbor. The gang of workmen dug a hole ln front of Mrs. Walsh's place and were about to erect the pole when she flew to the rescue with a rocking chair, which she placed over the hole. In order to block the gang ef fectively she seated herself ln the chair, where she remained for nearly six houn. refusing to move until she had received the assurance from the company that the pole would not be placed in front of her house. The Miller boy Is alleged to have "sassed" Mrs. Walsh. MBS. TIMM IS FBEE Divorce Granted on Ground of Deser tion and Failure to Provide The bonds of wedlock between Anna Timm and Julius Timm were severed yes terday by Judge Shaw on the ground of failure, to provide. The defendant, who is the son of H. Timm, who murdered his wife last Tuesday, did not appear to keep his wife from securing the separation or the child, a boy of nine years. The Tlmms were married in this city in 1894. Up to the time of Julius' marriage he managed to make a show of working. Af ter securing a helpmate, however, he ceased being a deceiver, and flatly refused, ac cording to his wife, to work. He claimed, on the other hand, that times were hard, and he could find nothing to do. Thinking a change of scene might benefit his chances of getting work, the Tlmms moved to Pomona, where their circum stances became more distressing. Realis ing that she would have to work for the support of herself and child, she left her husband and returned to this city, where she secured work in a laundry. Her hus band tried to force her to return to him, but she flatly refused to have anything to do with him. She was awarded the custody of the little boy. SUIT ON A CONTRACT Bobinson Fails to Supply the Oil Contracted For A suit on a contract was commenced yes terday! by the Los Angeles Electric com pany ag.iinst George S. Robinson, in which the plaintiff asks Judgment in the sum of }900. The company alleges that it entered Into a contract with George S. Robinson on June 11, 1898, whereby the defendant prom ised to furnish three thousand barrels—of forty-two gallons each—of crude petroleum of not less than 14 degrees Baume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, the same to be de livered in plaintiff's tanks at Palmetto and Alameda streets, at such time as plaintiff should direct with ln forty days from the date of the contract. For the oil the plain tiff agreed to pay 60 cents per barrel. Robinson either became sick of his bar gain when oil commenced advancing or was unable to secure the oil. At any rate, according to the plaintiff, Robinson failed to furnish the oil when requested. By this refusal the company claims to have sustained damages in the amount of 8900 and asks Judgment for the same. Injunction Denied The attempt to dissolve the Injunction restraining the levying of an assessment on the stock of the Rosenstein-Cohn Cigar company, pending the proceedings in the suit of Ellas Cohn vs. Rosenstein-Cohn Ci gar company, failed yesterday. The plea advanced by Cohn was that the proposed assessment was simply a ruse to defraud him of his share ln the company. Judge Shaw, before whom the case was heard, decided In Cohn's favor. The most Important point developed was the right to assess stock that has no lagal standing in court. The evidence showed that when the company was formed there w ere (180 shares, with a capital stock of $31, --500, and the company was' so Incorporated. Later the members met and decided to re duce the number of shares to 280 and" the stock to the actual amount of the money Invested, which was 114,000. This was done, but without legal action or consent of the court, and had, therefore, no standing ln court. The defendants In the action argued that they had a right to levy on fhe stock of the new company, whereas Cohn contend ed that the assessment should be made on the old stock. Judge Shaw took Cohn's view. New Machine Company Articles of Incorporation for a new ma chinery company were Hied yesterday in the county clerk's office. The company which will be known under the title of the Los Angeles Machinery company, has In corporated for a term of fifty years, with a capital stock of $10,000. Of this amount 1830 has been subscribed. The Incorporat ors are B. F. Williams, Walter Jones, Charles N. Williams, Theo. E. Elsen and C. Leonardt. Judge Shaw.Hiti <i TitlejCompany Judge Shaw yesterday gave the Title G""«ntee and Trust company! a hard ran LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, (898 while passing on a motion to quiet title to a certain lot on Vermont avenue, left by M. R. Marques, deceased. Some months ago Judge Clark granted an order giving P. Marques, administrator of the estate of M. P. Manjues, power to sell the lot ln ques tion. When Marques tried to secure a cer tificate of title from the Title Guarantee and Trust company, the company refused tc Issue the certificate, on the ground that the court had no right to make such an order, ln that the estate was under 1500 and there were minors involved. Judge Shaw remarked that he would give judgment of $1000 against the company for attacking an order of court. Ordered to Highland James F. Fullerton, aged H years, a na tive of Scotland, was yesterday ordered committed to the insane asylum at High land by Judge Shaw. The commitment was made at the request of Wm. Patterson, who testified that Fullerton had threatened to kill himself on several occasions nnd he was afraid that he would make an attempt If he was not watched. To Quiet Title An action to quiet title to lot 8 of block 26 of the Canal and Reservoir lands was commenced yesterday by Harriet S. Fu dickar and G. A. Fudlcknr against David Henderson et al. The plaintiffs claim to own the property In question, tout say that the defendants, four In number, who have no right to It, claim an Interest. Guardian Appointed for Lottie Carse The State Loan and Trust company was yesterday appointed guardian of Lottie M. Stanley, now Lottie M. Carse, to hold real estate in trust for her, until she reaches her 28th year. The property be longing to Lottie Carse Is valued at $3412. and was left her by Mary J. Stanley, de ceased. BLACKBURN LOCATED HE WAS SEEN IN SAN FRANCISCO LAST SUNDAY The Police Commission Takes Prompt Action in His Case—Official Investigation Ordered There now appears to be no doubt that Police Officer J. W. Blackburn has left Los Angeles permanently, as was told ex clusively ln The Herald yesterday, and has deserted his wife and three children, who are left practically destitute. It Is be lieved that the missing policeman Is now In San Francisco, as he was seen In that city last Sunday. Whether he will remain there cannot be determined, it will proba bly rest with Mrs. Annie Watts .the dark inamorata of his soul, andi It Is very prob able that on her course will depend the man's life. He had been very gloomy for some weeks previous to his departure and had talked of taking his life. It the woman for whom he has sacrificed all—honor, home and position—deserts him he may put an end to his existence. The publication of Blackburn's depar ture caused considerable surprise in some quarters, liut fhe majority of his fellow officers were not astonished. All expressed sympathy with the deserted family, but no one has any kind words for the erring man beyond the statement that he was a good off'cer. and this recommondailoa eomei ftom as high an authority at Chief Glass h mself. The first positive informa tion regarding Blackburn's whereabouts was gained yesterday from Deputy Sheriff -VlcClure. This officer stated that he had seen Blackburn ln San Francisco on Sun day, but as McClure went to the beach early in the afternoon he could not be questioned regarding any conversation he might have had with the missing police officer. Chief Glass also returned yester day from San Francisco, but the chief did tot see Blackburn during his sojourn in that. city. He said last evening that had he encountered' Blackburn he certainly would have demandleti of him to explain his mission there and! his purposes' In leaving Los Angeles. Blackburn took but few people Into his confidence, although a large majority of the force were acquainted with his relations with the Watts woman. It has been learned, however, that he had been con templating leaving the ctty for several weeks past. The desire to go away was caused by his wife appearing at the po lice station about three weeks ago and complaining to Chief Glass that Her hus band was neglecting her, never coming homo, falling to provide and, moreover, consorting with a negress. When he learned of this visit Blackburn became furious and upbraided! his wife wtth having deliberately made public their troubles. This she denied. From the moment Black burn learned that his secret was known' to the chief and other persons he began to worry for fear he might be brought before the police commission and his shameful life made public. He threatened to leave the city Immediately, but was prevailed upon to remain and try and settle the af fair with his wife. The negress evidently had too strong a hold on him, for he would not break otr his relations with her, and Instead of trying to mollify his wife, he simply widened the breach between her and himself. Blackburn threatened to kill him self, but he also decided to postpone this course until he might reach a better un derstanding at home. Matters probably became worse for him, and he determined to strike out and leave the whole busi ness. He went away several hundred dol lars in debt to his grocer, besides with num erous other accounts' unpaid. Mrs. Blackburn oould not be Interviewed last evening, as £he-was prostratedl by the disgrace brought on her by her husband, nor could any positive trace of tne colored woman be secured. It is no* thought she has as yet left the city. If ethe joins Black burn, he will probably try and Jive out his miserable life. bur. if she deserts him he may carry his threat of suicide into execu tion. The police commission took positive action regarding his case yesterday. The Herald's account of Ms departure was read and resolutions adopted Instructing Chief Glass to Investigate the' disappearance of Blackburn. This win be done and when' the facts have been further corroborated Blackburn'si position will be declared vacant and another man appointed tn his place. Tried to Escape Antonio Grijalva, a Mexican, aged 20 years, was brought to the county Jail last evening to serve a sentence for petty lar ceny. Grijalva entered the Meserve resi dence at North Pomona and' ransacked! the placet and also stole a bicycle from T. J. Parker of Pomona. Grijalva was sen tenced) to six months ln jail. He tried to Jump out of the car window at Shorb sta tion, but was) warned not to attmept ma leap by one of the train crew. 5 $10 aU5.00 i ft fo* * 3 Yes, many of them were $12.50.

The chief was very indignant over the condition of affairs at Camp Merrltt, where the battery and the Seventh regiment are encamped, and expressed himself ln positive terms at the manner in which the boys have had to suffer through the ignorance or willful neglect of some people in authority. "Without exception," he declared, "Camp Merritt Is one of the worst places Imagin able for the present use to which It Is put. In consequence, our boys have been suffer ing terribly from pleurisy and pneumonia, and numbers have died, who, I believe, would now be living had they been prop erly cared for in a decent place. The sand and dirt and winds make the place dis agreeable, and, with the cold fogs and gen eral damp air, the condition of the boys is miserable. I heard that there were 400 of of the young fellows sick in the hospital. It was pitiful to see some of the soldiers walking around, shivering ln the cold, many suffering from pleurisy or pneumo nia. Who is to blame for the condition, I, of course, cannot say, but somebody ought to be compelled to answer for It. The boys even have to sleep out ln little tents. This government Is big enough and rich enough to provide better accommodations for the soldiers. The authorities could easily erect board barracks for the boys, as they have at the Presidio. "I see Gen. Merrltt says that Hugh Craig of the San Francisco chamber of commerce is no gentleman, because he crit icises the course ot the commander ln hav ing the soldiers sent to Camp Merrltt and blames him for so many dying ln conse quence. Craig Is all right ln his position. The boys have been outrageously treated. The matter should be sifted thoroughly and whoever is to blame should be punished. When I was there last week the soldiers had received orders to provide themselves from the quartermaster's department with various summer uniforms and accouter ments for service ln Honolulu. How soon they-wlll go remains fat, be seen." NO MATCH RACE Are Plenty at Local Man to Go to Riverside That match race between W. Q. Furman and "Jasper" Shoemaker of Riverside will not take place, as Bhoe claims that his duties on his father's ranch prevent him from training the necessary length of time. He Intends to ride In. the regular track events, however. Furman and his friends think that. Shoemaker has.not treated Elm courteously-, to say the least, for the Hlver slde man agreed to give Furman a return match when he defeated him last year. Bhoe has thus far failed to abide by his agree- merit. Harry Cromwell h»», joined the crown or] bicycle riders at AthlstJc park and la tram- J Ing for the race meet at Ban Jose September 9th. W. Block, Florence Florentine and A. F. Wlsner will be among the local riders to go to the Riverside meet on the 9th" of next month. I. S. Logan of Riverside;has-been In tha city for several days past, booming fhe bicycle meet and arranging for special ex cursion rates over the railroads. A Neighborhood Row A. T. Bundy of 391 S. Hill street was ar rested last night by Officer Sparks on a warrant charging him"with disturbing the peace. Bundy rents a portion of his house to the family of F. W. Kellogg. According to the statements of Bundy, Mr. Kellogg has been ln the habit of throwing dirty water out of the rear door into the yard. Bundy remonstrated and threatened to give the Kelloggs notice to vacate the prem ises If the nuisance did not cease. Kellogg took a hand ln the quarrel, and the men had a row, which resulted in Kellogg s swearing to the complaint against Bundy. Escaped From the Officer Willie Williams, a colored youth, gave Deputy Constable Tom Quinn the slip Mon day night. The officer had a warrant for the arrest of Willie and encountered film on Wilmington street, near Requena. Tom started to read the warrant, and, as the officer paused to try to make out some blotted word, Willie turned and bolted. Swift and fleet of foot as Quinn is, he could not overhaul Willie. Joe Bepulveda was arrested! on San Fer nando, street last night by Deputy Consta ble Mugncml for fighting.
