8 A BLONDE BEAUTY | SSI CAUSE OT FIREMAN DORN'S DOWNFALL r, LEAVES HOME AND FAMILY Position and All to Enjoy the Gay and Festive Society ot a Fallen Woman —Gone to Chicago Another city employe has fallen from grace, the victim of a dlzay and succulent blonde. He followed ln the footsteps of Officer Blackburn, and was different from that unworthy only In one point—he chose a white woman as the object of his Illicit love. The latest candidate for official Investigation and public condemnation is Edward R. Dorn, a member of rhe city flre department and a resident of ISSB Geor gia Bell street. His case was to have come before the fire commissioners' regular meeting yesterday, but because of Chief Moore's aibsence from the city, was not officially mentioned. The story of Dorn's .undoing, together with a short rehearsal of his previous career, runs as follows: He is the son of a highly respected wid owed woman of Los Angeles and some of the city's most prominent and able pro fessional men are among his relatives. His troubles, from boyhood up, gp far as can be learned, have been due principally to love affairs, both legitimate and' illegiti mate, and report says that he has to his credit a very romantic adventure, wfiich Borne years ago made it healthy for him to leave St. Louis between two days. As time passed by he drifted to Oakland, Cal ifornia, and there professed to fall in love with a Httle German widow. This little woman was possessed of a comfortable home, considerable renting property, a fine fruit ranch and about $amoin money. They were married. Dorn found it un healthy to work from that time on and It was not a great while until the "widow's mite" had disappeared. To complicate mat ters the husband's idle fingers got into mis chief and Mrs. Dorn found that she occu pied only a small corner ln the heart of her liege lord. Preparations were made to move to Los Angeles, but before they could get away the crash came and as a result Dorn left a second city under a cloud. Now, It may be said with propriety, that Dorn Is not a fool even though he ts a knave. He realized his position perfectly when he had established a bad reputation for himself and this realization carried with It pangs of remorse. As a consequence when he became a Los Angeleno, he placed himself on his good behavior and with hit wife and family soon became a respected and 1 popular man among his associates. About a year ago he got into the tire depart ment through the assistance of some In fluential friends and though starting as a 125 callman, ln a short time he was pro moted to a position as hoseman ln Engine company No. 8, at a salary of 150. It was about three months ago that he got mixed up In the liaison which has now severed him from his family, relatives, position, home and all. The woman ln the question Is a creature with a history. She Is said to have con ducted' a notorious bagnio some place ln Arizona, and the police department ot Los Angeles has her spotted as a woman of most disreputable character. Dorm Intro duced her to the landlady of a respecta ble lodging house on the corner of Fourth and Clay streets, and probably kept her there under misrepresentation. It is well said that "murder will out," and in this case the awakening came about through an accident. On Wednesday of last week Dorn asked leave from his work for a day, stating that he wanted to take hts wife and tittle boy down to Santa Monica for a day's outing. He left at noon. In the evening Mrs. Dorn caried at the engine houst) on HIU street to see her husband, and was told what had occurred. One of the firemen who knew of Dm's Infidelity Bird suspected his whereabouts at the time, told Mrs. Dorn to go :o the lodging house wherein Dorn's "blonde beauty" was quartered and Inquire for him. She did so, and though told he was not in, learned Uu.- whole story of her husband's double ' Hft. Dorn turned up roext morning and was very Indignant at his brother rlremen for giving the snap away, but to his'surprise was promptly told to "shut up and. be dlecieint. or he would get half the life thrashed out of him." The matter reached tbe ears of Assistant Chief Smith, who promptly ctcimandiedi Dorn's star and In signia and Informed him that his case would be brought bef ore the commissioners. Dorn did not show up at the engine house after that, and on Saturday "fled before the wrath to come," taking the eastbound Banta Fo train, supposedly for Chicago. His partner in crime Is thought to be wtth him, as she was seen taking a depot car on Saturday night and'carrleda vatlse with her. Mrs. Dorn Is left destitute. The truant husband left countless unpaid bills, among them the house rent for three months past, as a consequence of which the wife and her effects were put off the premises the first of the week. She appealed to the depart ment headquarters on Monday for assist ance, and although Dorn owed a number of his associates. Assistant Chief Smith turned over to her the 3.35 deposit for the badge and insignia. Scores and scores of bills are dally being presented and In quired about, among them a meat bill for $56, milk bin for $26, grocery bill for $30 and a bill for beer for his "blonde pig," as some of Dorn's former friends choose to call her. The matter was brought before the flre commission by a promissory note present ed for payment by the Bartlett piano store. It was for rent on a piano. It hardly need be said that Dorn will be Ignomlnlously fired from the city's employ at the next meeting of the flre commis sion. POPULISTS MEET Ths City Central Committee Discusses Various Subjects The Populist city central committee met last evening at Its room ln the Dow ney block. Chairman Milton Carlson be ing ln the chair. The attendance was not large. The action of the executive committee, ln electing Sam J. Chappel as secretary and in laying a tax of $1 on each precinct, was ratified, and the committeemen jsftre Instructed to raise this amount, esch for his own precinct. The room, which was poorly lighted , and not remarkably clean, seemed to be troubling the minds of the members, . and the secretary was Instructed to snake arrangements with the county committee, secretary for cleaning it up and hanging out a sign when the proper time arrivee. Tha managameat of the mass meet- lng which Judge Maguire will address at Hazard's pavilion Saturday night, will be asked to reserve seats for the Populists. Messrs. Pickering, Chappel, Hutchison and Carlson were appointed to bedeck the members of the party with appropriate ribbons at that time. The matter of a dally People's p*rty newspaper was brought up, and the sec retary stated that by next Tuesday It will be decided whether or not the Jour nalistic infant will be launched. An earnest committeeman hoped that It would, "for," said he "It Is high time the people have something to represent them, Instead of the dirty, lying, sub sidized papers we have now." After a great deal more talk and a very little more business, the committee ad journed to meet on the evening of Sat urday, September Bd, following the meet ing of the county central committee on the afternoon of the same day. Plans for campaign activity are to be discussed at these meetings. SERIOUSLY WOUNDED a H. THOMAS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT LAST NIGHT William Will Shot Him and Made His Escape—Thomas May Die From the Injury B. H. Thomas, a bricklayer, residing on East Adams street, near Hubert, was accidentally shot last night by Wil liam Wills, a mechanical engineer. The bullet entered the right groin, ranged upward Into the bladder, and could not be traced any further. The wound Is serious, and it Is feared that Thomas will die from the effects of it. Thomas and a friend, Augustus Schi pull, returned last Sunday from Oxnard, where they had been employed by Chas. Leonard, the brick contractor. Last night they, in company with Will and some others, were in the Miners' Ex change saloon, kept by Sanders & Con roy, at 110 North Alameda street. Will was acquainted with the brick masons, and as he was out of work and desirous of securing some money, he tried to dis pose of a revolver to Thomas. Thomas replied that he had no use for the weap on, but Will Insisted upon displaying the gun, and, turning to the barkeeper, asked for the pistol, which had been left in his care. It was handed to Will, and he then tried to open the weapon and unload It. In his haste Will probably pressed the trigger, and before the breech could be thrown open the ham mer had descended upon a cartridge, causing it to explode. Schlpull was standing with his back to Will, and he felt the scorch of the powder on hs neck, and then saw Thom as give a start, clap his hand to his right leg and stagger. Schlpull rushed for ward and supported him, and then' he saw Will standing, as if dazed at what he had done. Will ran out of the saloon within an Instant, and the others, think ing he had gone to summon the patrol wagon, made no attempt to stop him. Thomas was removed to the receiving hospital, where Dr. Hagan attended him. The doctor was unable to trace the course of the bullet any further than the bladder, and could not tell whether the ball had passed Into the intestines or not. Thomas was suffering from the shock, so an operation had to be post poned until today or when he shall have become stronger. Thomas made a state ment to Secretary Harry Johnson, ln which he said he thought the wound had been accidental and exonerated Will as far as he knew. Thomas has a wife, and was to have gone to work for Contractor Kubach at Clearmont today. Will had not been arrested at an early hour this morning. HE IS COMING J. Waldere Kirk, King of the Dudes, En Route to Catalina A telegram was received last night at the Hollenfceck, from J. Waldere Kirk, otherwise known as "the king of the dudes,' 'engaging a suite of ronrns. He will favor Los Angeles with glimpses of his knleid'oßcopic wardrobe for but a short time, as he Is bound for Avalon, at which place he can display himself to the admiration of the ladles there as sembled, and the envy—or disgust—of the male critters. Kirk is neither a king nor a duke, but a drummer, and consid ers dressing and escapades with women as legitimate adjuncts to his advertis ing department, as an actress doesstolen diamonds. He la expected some time to day. City Hall Notes Mayor Snyder has telegraphed that he will start for home on Saturday night, and will therefore resume his duties on Monday. Louis Glass of San Francisco, assist ant general manager of the Sunset Tele phone company, Is ln Los Angeles' on a tour of Inspection. He was shaking hands wtth friends at the city hall yes terday. According to their stipulation with the city, the Los Angeles Water company filed their weekly statement with the city attorney on Tuesday, showing their receipts for last week to have been $16, --954.70, and the unpaid expenses $269.10. Cut on the Head B. Tucker, a rancher of Haward Sum mit, was attended at the receiving hos pital last night for some cuts and bruises on the head, sustained ln a runaway on Vernon avenue, rear Main street. He was driving home in a two-horse wagon, when a man passed, shoving a wheel barrow. This frightened Tucker's team, and they shied and threw him out on his head. His injuries are not serious. Reception to Gage At a meeting of the Young Men's Re publican league last evening, it was de cided to give a reception to Henry T. Oage and other Southern California Re publicans who have received nomina tions at the state convention. The date, which is set for Borne time next week, will be definitely announced later. To Give Him a Chance Justice Morrison yesterday continued the time for sentencing Angel Reyes, who escaped from the chain gang, until October 15th. Reyes' original time will expire on that date, and If he continues orderly ln the chain gang he will not be sentenced again. Spanish American Republicans Tbe Eldorado Republican club, held an open meeting: at Its headquarters, 107 V, North Main street, last evening. The meeting was presided'over by A a. Blvera.

Barclay and Byron Oliver were heard from as pros pective district attorneys; Messrs. Howard, Bayley, Pierce McClaln, Var coe, Glsh, Kellogg and a number of other candidates wer also heard. Music and refreshments closed the evening. ALLEGED ATTEMPTED BRIBERY Daniel McKay Makes a Sensational Charge Daniel McKay was convicted ot cruelty to animals by a jury In Justice Owens' court last night. The trial lasted for two days, and was but the forerunner of a more sen sational case, as McKay, who Is a man of some property and of supposed excellent reputation, will be tried soon on a charge of petty larceny. Detective Auble took the witness stand In the morning and related the circumstances of watching McKay for the purpose of dis covering whether or not he had stolen lum ber from various houses ln the course of construction. The testimony was first sup posed to be ln relation to the ore back ot McKay's horse, which he was alleged to have treated cruelly, but the petty larceny Investigation soon cropped out. Auble said that after McKay had been arreeted he did notice that the back of the horse driven by McKay was sore, and Officer Phillips had called his attention to it. Numbers of wit nesses were examined regarding tho con dition of the horse's back, and, while nearly all agreed that the animal should never have been driven, they were unabft to agree exactly as to the location of the sore. McKay caused a bit of a sensation In his testimony. He claimed that after Officer Phillips had arrested him and they reached the corner of Third and Hill streets, he re quested that the handcuffs be removed from his wrists, as he did not care to go through the town any further with those steels or naments. Phillips then said, o McKay claimed, that he would turn him looe If he would pungle up $100 ln gold coin. When asked why so much was needed, McKay claims that Phillips replied that two of Mc- Kay claims that Phillips replied that two of McKay's enemies had to Be ■'squared." The Jury convicted McKay, after bf*ig out about an hour and a half. Detective Auble had sworn to a complaint against McKay, charging him with stealing two pieces of staving, worth $2, from M. Hastings, a car penter, on Flower streel, near Ninth. Mc- Kay will be sentenced next Saturday for the conviction of cruelty to animals. His trial for petty larceny will be set some time this week. The Cuban Waltz To see a hatf dozen Cuban men and wo men at their beet is to see therm dancing the Cuban waltz' at one of those small so cial gatherings at a friend's house which occupy 1n so quiet and sensible a fashion the evenings of many Spanish-speaking people in both hemispheres. Tbe dnce is expressive; It has dignity; It is grace, it Is poetic and Is Instinct with character. Such Indolent, phantom-like dancing nev er before was seen. The couples turn very Httle and the soles of their feet scarcely stir from the floor. It Is the conventional waltz step reduced to the last pitch of de liberate tanguor. Slowly they revolve to gether, slipping insensibly around the room. There seems to be no reason why ' waltzing taken at such a gait as this should not go on forever. At a given moment four couples find themselves opposite each oth er and form a quadrille, the round dance thus merging temporarily Into a square one. The white dresses of the women sweep to and fro with, a dlsmlfled disregard of haste, and their plumply rounded arms are extended In a graceful chain. Then they break softly away and return to their partners and the waltz Is resumed.—Lon don Morning Leader. Trouble for the Turk It appears that the answer recently made | by the ottoman government to our demand, presented through Minister Angell, for in- j flemnlfylng American missionaries for j losses sustained In Armenia, amounted to a j repudiation of all responsibility for those losses. It. Is explained that there is no , Intention to discriminate against the TTnited . States, as the porte has also repudiated re- ', sponslbility under like claims of the Euro- . pean powers. Our government has taken , very decided ground that Indemnity is due, , so that it Is not likely to be satisfied with , the porte's repudiation of responsibility. , It would be odd If an American armored squadron should have to go to the Medl treranean after all.—New York Sun. The Queen's Welcome CORUNNA, Spain, Aug. 24.—The queen regent sent a message to the troops on board the Alicante, which arrived here to day from Santiago, congratulating them upon their conduct In the field and saying that she proposed to be the first to welcome them home. The reading of the dispatch was recflved with great enthusiasm. The dis embarkation Is now In progress. There was no yellow fever on board though sixty died of other diseases during the voyage. Orders to Blanco MADRID. Aug. 24.-5 p. m.—Ths minis- i ter of war, Lieutenant General Correa, when asked what Instructions have been | given General Blanco ln regard to opposing the Insurgents In Cuba, replied that he had ordered the captains general of Cuba and the Philippines to act in accord with the Americans, but if tha Americans should prove unable to make the Insurgents re spect the armistice, then the instructions were to repel any attack upon the Span larda. Chinese Immigrants WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—The repre sentatives of the Cuban Junta ln the United States are still making every effort to se cure the dlsbandment of the Cuban forces and acquiescence In the policy of the United States ln Cuba.

He la to be here Friday and Saturday as the guewt of the Silver Republicans, whose state convention Is to meet In Music hall Saturday. Following Is the program mapped out: Mr. Maguire t« expected to arrive from th* north on tomorrow'sl:i» train. He will be met at Burbank by a union committee headed by Judge J. L.

Efficient committees have been ap pointed to have charge or the affair, and muslo and other features will add to the, general enjoyment of the occasion. The public Is cordlaTly Invited to attend. Saturday night a grand l union ratification meeting will be held at Hazard's 1 pavir.on. Mr. Maguire will be present and the fu sion cause will receive an Impetus at this meeting sufficient to send It rolling over all obstacles to victory. Judge Hutton will be the president of the evening. The follow ing union committee on arrangements will be ln charge: Democrats—Daniel Neuhart, Cal Foy, N. T. Powell, J. S. Yoakum, T. L. Winder. Silver Republicans—H. T. Hazard, H. Hut ton, W. B. Lubers, W. C. Petchner, S. A. W. Carver. Populists—W. S. Moore, A. R. Sprague, H. G. Wllshlre, G. A. Fudlckar. R. E. Curran. A meeting of this committee on arrange ments is called for 8 oclock tonight at the club rooms, 314 West Second street. These committees have all been appoint ed by the chairman of the different county central committees. This Is practically the opening of "The Little Giant's" campaign and the people of this section can be counted on to do their part In making It an ausplcous one. Sylvester Scovel, the newspaper cor spondent who struck General Shafter, has at length told his side of the story ln a letter to the New York World. He has kept silent till eye witnesses of the affair should return to New York to substantiate his statements. Scovell's letter Is an interesting document. Scovel himself Is an Interesting man. The Spanish government put a price of 110,000 on his head, but that did not keep Scovel out of Cuba. It Is generally admitted that he has been the best of the Cuban corres pondents—at least till the war began. Richard Harding Davis praises him most lavishly ln a recent number of Scrlbner's Magazine, and It Is rarely that Mr. Davis thinks truly well of other correspondents. Scovel's letter Is chiefly Interesting for the light It throws upon the personal char acter of our major general In Cuba. The writer at the outset admits that he was ln the wrong to strike back. He says that such an offense should hove been punished with death, and urges the fact that he was merely ordered out of Cuba as proof that Shafter was conscious of having mode an exhibition of himself which he did not care to have Investigated. Following upon the charges of lrrftablllty and overbearing disregard for the suffer ings of sick and wounded which the medl tvil staff have made against Shafter, Sco vel's statement has a certain Inherent like lihood. It also, has a ring of slncerlty whlch the official account of the affair given out by Shafter's oldes does not have. We cannot excuse any man for insulting the uniform of a commanding officer, but the circumstances ln this case seem to be such as rally one's sympathies In favor of the offender.—Buffalo Enquirer. These three thinge are really worth something to have discovered?: It ts worth a great deal, not only to Europe but to the Orient, to know that poverty Is weakness and wealth is strength; that strength does not consist In the uarelent- Ing orders of a kaiser, but In the patriotic impulse and characteristic determination of well-fed citizens. This also Is worth something to our own country.
