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.

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

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.

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.

A SHAMEFUL OUTRAGE
CHIEF GLASS SCORES THE MILI
TARY AUTHORITIES
Says Camp Merritt Is a Horrible Place
and the Soldiers Are Contracting
Serious Sickness
Chief Glass returned yesterday afternoon
from San Francisco, where, ln company
with Mrs. Glass, he had been passing sev
eral days visiting their son, who is a mem
ber of Steere's heavy battery. 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

That match race between W. Q. Furman

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
