leased Pending Hearing of
Cases—Were Arrested
a Year Ago
Sir Los Angeles men—Warren Gille
lcn, president of the Broadway Bank
and Trust company, and. R. \V. Kenny,
casnier of that institution; Attorney
Will D. Gould, Dr. David M. Goodwin
of 901 South. Figueroa street, L. R.
Myers ami G«-orge L. Steams—have
keen arrested by deputy United States
marshals, to appear "before United
States Commissioner William M. Van
DyKe tv answer to a complaint tiled
against them June 2, 1906, charging
them with complicity in the Oregon
lan.i frauds.
For almost two years the cases ol
the Oregon land frauds have been
hanging fire, and during that time the
government has been gathering tes
timony. The arrests yesterday and the
night previous came as a surprise to
the six Los Angeles men. Attorney
Gould furnished $2000 bail. Dr. Good
win $5000 bail, while Messrs. Myers
Steams, Kenny and Gillelen gave $1000
bail each.
President Gillelen of the Broadwa>
Bank and Trust company characterizes
the proceedings as an outrage against
himself and Cashier Kenny of that in
stitution, saying they are both innocent j
of any attempt to defraud the govern
ment.
He says they simply loaned money
to the Pacific Furniture and Lumber
company, never meeting any of the
men indicted and are not members of
that company. He says the other four
local men are members of the company.
He declares he and Mr. Kenny have
simply renewed their bond on the old
complaint.
New Complaints Issued
New complaints, issued recently, wil
be served on the following San Fran
cisco men, wanted for trial at Port
land, Oregon. In connection with the
land fraud charges:
Messrs. Fred W. Dennis, Richard D.
Jones. William H. Smith, Jacob C.
Cross, William T. Kerr. John R. Miller
and Frank A. Stewart.
An appeal was finally made by these
six Los Angeles men from the decisioi
of Commissioner Van Dyke that they
be taken to Oregon for trial, which
was sustained by Judge Wellborn of
Los Angeles and by Judge Ross of
San Francisco, to the United States
supreme court, which maintained tha
identification of prisoners was all that
was necessary in an extradition case,
no defense being permissible.
This Is how the three alleged Mex
ican revolutionists have a chance to
prevent being taken to Arizona for
trial, since they have a chance for trial
in Los Angeles instead of being simply,
identified and then extradited to that
state.
This ruling of the supreme court of
the land changed federal jurisprudence
all over the country and the Los An
geles men were absolved from their
bonds. They thought the case dis
missed permanently, but the charge
against them still stood.
Hired Many Men
The Pacific Furniture and Lumber
company, of which all those on whom
warrants were served are alleged to
be members, Is charged with having
hired great numbers of men to work
for it in the Roseburg land district
near Gold Beach, Oregon, who, when
they reached there, were asked to take
up land in the name ol the company.
ThU3, It Is alleged, illegal entry was
made on from 3000 to 8000 acres of land.
The government learned of the work
going on through the complaint of
Alfred Marsh and his wife, Rachel
Marsh, that they did not want to take
up land, but to earn a livelihood: while
the letter of Frank A. Stewart, de
manding back pay and threatening to
disclose fraudulent methods of the
company to the newspapers, was also
procured by the government.
In the new complaints William H.
Smith of San Francisco is named as
general manager of the company and
all the other men, including those of
Los Angeles, are named as members.
WILL CASE MAY REACH
<URY THIS AFTERNOON
Attorney* in Suit Brought to Annul
Will Expect to Begin Argu.
ment When Court
Opens Today
Arguments will be made today to the
jury in the contested will case of
Bobert Carithrrs, who is endeavoring
to h we the superior court revoke the
will of his brother. Wm. D. Carithers,
by the terms of which the widow. Delia
A. <*arlthprs, was left practically the
estate of her husband.
Yesterday was taken up with medical
testimony on bthalf of the contestant.
Hypothetical questions were asked,
basci. on Cartthers' alleged habits prior
to the execution of his last will.
Dr. M. B. Campbell, who was for
merly in ciiargr of the Patton asylum,
provrd a witness not to the liking of
the contestant, declaring his belief that
('anthers was not of unsound mind at
the time the will was made, but was
simply recovering from a temporary
drunk.
Dr. H. G. Brainerd said a man ad
dicted to alcohol for a long period, and
•■specially near the close of his life,
would frequently display evidences of
insanity.
The arguments today will probably
take up three hours' time and the case
should go to the Jury this afternoon.

Dejected Specimen of Humanity Reads
Letters from Cruel Miss and
Softly Murmurs
"Stung!"
He was an abbreviated specimen of
humanity, and as he shrunk his head
down into his coat collar he appeared
even smaller. With his hands deep
In his overcoat pockets he appeared
dlsconsolation personified, and gazed
sadly at the three letters, all addressed
in neat feminine writing, and now and
then glanced sadly at the retreating
form of the niai; carrier. Then he sank
fo the rustic teat on the verandah of
the fashionable boarding house.
One of the letters he held had evi
dently just come from the mall, while
the remaining two had been carried
about In the young man's pockets some
t'me.
The young m»n sighed, turned his
gaze to the letters, sighed again, then
opened the most worn letter and read
Ir.
"Dear Boy: How strange is life. Just
think, a week ago I had never met you,
and it is improbable I would ever have
done so had I not come west on the
'rain I did. Then both of us would
have been the losers, wouldn't we?
Tour present to me arrived today, and
I think It is just too beautiful for any

thing. I have wanted for so long, and
you showed the most excellent taste.

you? I take a great interest In you.
and I want you to write me often. I

soon. Again thanks for the music roll.
At ever May belle."
SP *TG
Slowly the young man replaced the
letter in his i ocket. A slight sugges
tion of a smilt played over his face as
he ope.iod the second one, and read:
■My L'l'ar Boy: How considerate you

The faint emile faded as the young

pocket and slowly unfolded it:

MYSTERIOUS WAGON
DISAPPEARS FROM
BROADWAY CURB
Three and a Half Wheeled Vehicle
Simply Fades Out of Sight
After Puzzling
Many
Broadway in Los Angeles lately fur
nished a mystery which would have
brought Sherlock Holmes of the great
head Into a pensive mood, and caused
the noted sleuth to do some tall, digni
fied thinking. And the mystery has
not yet been solved.
This beautiful street, which is known
along the entire coast for its artistic
lighting by night and handsome appear
ance by day, wore. In one section at
least, the appearance of "Main street"
in "Back to Grigsby's Station." For
near the corner of Second and Broad
w ay last Sunday morning, as the rising
bun performed his usual imitation of a
municipal lighting plant, was to be
seen a dilapidated three and one-halt
wheeled vehicle, tottering towards the
g rave —or rather, stalled on the verge
of the tomb.
This was a one-horse light built
wagon (such as is used by the young
Jehu of a butcher boy), with black
body and "yaller 1- wheels. How it came
there no one knew. Three or four
morning papers were lying in the bot
tom, adding another gloomy note to the
Had spectacle.
No one knew its history. There was
no driver. No horse was hitched to it.
No telltale broken bottle or even fleet
ing scent of gasoline had remained to
p.tve a "tip" to the anxious investi
gator. All day Sunday it stood there.
The officer on the beat. No. 164, said he
didn't know how it came. Saturday it
had not been there, he said; but when
he came on Sunday noon the chariot
reposed near the sidewalk in the quiet
and seclusion of the gutter. The
boulevardlers or Broadway, who stroll
past the handsomely furnished windows
of the department storeß, so brilliantly
lit up at night, looked wonderingly at
the vehicle of the three and a half
wheels.
A chap who hadn't been able to go out
to Santa Anita chanced a bet with an
other man as to how the wheel had
been broken. It was badly fractured,
while most of the spokes were sprained.
The sickly lurch given by the broken
wheel, which rested that particular hub
on the glistening Jewels of the gutter
cobbles, let the public look all the more
closely Into the body of the vehicle.
Everybody guessed—no one knew.
More Mystery
Then came Sunday night's rain. And
the dreary vehicle seemed to be weep
ing to itself as It shed the rain off Its
ill painted back .md dished wheels. The
police didn't know anything more about
it. They realized with the public that
this was no addition to the "city beau
tiful," as boomed in the papers. They
wanted to wait until the man came
who owned the thing and when he'd
try to "lift" it they'd "pnich" him. But
he did not desire to be "pinched," evi
dently. Monday repeated the same
slory. People became greatly inter
ested. Now and then a bustling auto
mobile with women desirous of shop
ping would be steered within a horse
shoe's widtl- of this shattered relic of
travel. The water wagon hurled minia
ture bouquets of dew drops upon it.
The street cleaning machine smoked by
In disdain. Some pedestrians even
' swiped" the two days old papers from
the body of the thing, leaving It bare
and naked to the public gaze.
"I don't know how it came to be
there," remarked the floor walker on
the first aisle of the big department
store in front of which the wreck re
posed. "We never saw it until Mon
day morning when we came to -work.
It looks like a country town. They
should remove Lhe thing."
Then Tuesday morning. Once more
the sun came out and lit up the town
bs though there never had been any
"rainy spell." But the glistening orb
missed Its old, faithful comrade who
had waited for him through the unkind
lain of Sunday night and all day
stormy Monday. The wagon of the
shattered wheel had departed, leaving
not one fleck of axlo grease behind to
tell of its history. Officer No. 164 didn't
know how it had disappeared.
"I was on Hill street when it was
taken away," he said. "I'd been trying
to catch the chap who owned it when
he came for It."
The "truly rural" aspect of Broadway
of thirty years ago had departed, ani
the street was of the appearance and
E!ze of a thoroughfare in a growing me
tropolis. Nothing but automobiles and
trolleys and three hansom cabs for
Broadway. The street still wears an
unfamiliar look, however, since the
conveyance of the Sherlock Holmes
brand has silently departed, leaving no
history or trace or clew behind. Even
pn automobile would leave a stink. But
the shattered wagon, limping along on
a working majority of wheels, had sim
ply faded out of sight— even as scrip
will do some day.

JAPANESE SLAIN
BY OLD ENEMY
LODGING HOUSE OWNER KILLED
IN HIS OWN HOME
Is Called to Front Room to Discuss
Business and Falls Before Five
Bullets Which Pierce
Body
T. Okazakt, the proprietor of a Jap
anese lodging house at 125 Vine street,
wai shot three times and almost in
stantly killed last night In -a Japanese
restaurant at 211H North San Pedro
street by a man alleged by the police
and the wife of the dead man to be
T. Ito, a gambler.
Five shots in all were fired at the
dead man, three of them taking effect
and two speeding harmlessly into the
wall of the room in which the men
\v< lv sitting.
The tragedy, It is said, occurred over
the refusal of Okazaki, who was a
prosperous and well-to-do man, to lend
Ito money.
Shortly after 5 o'clock Okazaki ap
peared at the restaurant, which is run
by K. Fugioka, and, as was his habit,
went into the kitchen to talk to Fu
gioka, who was his friend. The two,
with Madam Fugioka, sat in the kitchen
for more than two hours, when two
strange Japanese entered the restau
rant, and going into a little front room
rang the bell for service.
Madam Fugioka attended them and
served them with drinks. She then re
turned to the kitchen and resumed her
conversation, and a short time after
ward there was a second call from the
front room. She again supplied the
men with drinks and at the same time
they asked that Okazaki be called into
the room, as they wished to see him.
Husband Joins Men
She told Okazaki and he went to the
front room and soon thereafter there
was another call for drinks.

would kill him if he did not pay It.

Ito money several times, but that he
did not owe him anything. On the con

band a considerable sum and It was his

her husband to refuse him further
loans.
