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

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.

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

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

States ln Cuba. Letters are being sent and
arguments made to the Cuban leaders,
pointing out that the Interests of the Cu
bans lie ln co-operation with the United
States authorities.

Saturday. Following Is the program
mapped out:
Mr. Maguire t« expected to arrive from

In the evening, commencing'at 8 o'clock,
a reception will be given Judge Maguire
by the Silver Republican cPub, assisted by
the Hickory and Maguire clubs, at the
club's headquarters, 314 West Second
street. 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

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. Our mil
