About five hundred charred lottery

After making several unsuccessful at-tempts at breaking down the door, thewindow in the side of the buildings
was attacked by the detectives and tin
entrance was soon effected.
After emptying the water pall in the
stove Ingram scrambled from his posi-
tion on top of the house and hurriedto the assistance of Boyd, who wasbattering down the front door with ahammer.
"Isaw them put a bundle of papersIn. a little stove and touch a matchto them,1 'said Boyd. "Iwaited a few.,
moments untilIsaw the blaze flare up,
then Igave the word to my partner
and he poured the contents of thewater bucket down the chimney."
The detectives wont to 130 1-2 Vinestreet where the suspected lottery wasIn progress early last evening. Heforeattempting to enter the building, Boydassisted Ingram to the roof of the one-story building and then passed him apail of water. After Ingram was safely
In his position on top of the building,
Boyd went to the front door and de-
manded admittance. On being refused,
he observed the action of the occu-pants of the room through the key-hole.
The detectives sny they knew Quong
Wong hnd been operating a lottery
game on Vine street for the past week,
hut after several unsuccessful attemptsat raiding the place, they made re-course of Intrigue last night, and suc-ceeded in landing the proprietor in thecity jail.

As Goodwin could not think of part-
ing with his dog, a friend of years, heis no longer one of the loungers in theAngelus hotel lobby.
Tuesday he packed his trunk andwent. There was no illfeeling oneither side. The management told himthey could not afford to make an ex-ception of even Nat C. Goodwin, in-asmuch as within a fortnight therewould be a necessity for a hotel kennelto be run in conjunction with the An-gelus. Every permanent boarder In
the hotel would want his or her poodle.
Goodwin registered at the Angelus
Monday morning. He was told the
rules of the house, but having paid for
an elegant suite of rooms for one day
In advance, he was permitted to keep
them until his time expired.
The Angelus extends a warm wel-
come to the man with good clothes andthe requisite amount of money, butwhen he is accompanied by a dog
—nay, nay, Pauline, the Angelus willhave none of him. This belnsc the case,
Nat and his pet, "Mike," had to go
forth from the Anfielua Into the cold,
cold world, but they went together. It
was the spirit of "United we stand,
divided we fall."
It was either hlsKnslish bulldog
"Mike,"or the Angelus. Ooodwln kept
his dog and the Angelus decided thatIt would have to do without the
presence of the actor.
Until yesterday Nat C. Goodwin,playing in the ."The Usurper" thisweek at the Mason, was a Riiest at theAngelus. Now he has taken up hisresidence In the western part of thecity.

Half an hour before the body of thedead man was found by the Jailer,Moonshower's wife was tn the policestation. At that time she sent a tele-gram to her father In Muncte, Ind..who is a prominent attorney in thatcity, to come to L.os Angeles to prose-cute her husband on the charge forwhich he was arrested.
He had taken a strong silk necktie
from his shirt and tied one end aroundhis neck in a loose knot, the other
being fastened to one of the bars of hiscell, just above his bed. He had thrownhimself over the Bide of the bed, andeven while his feet touched the floor,strangled to death.
Jailer Hubbard says he noticed thatthe man seemed to be downcast andrepentant, and fearing that he might
make an attempt on his life, kept,aclose watch on him. He says he madethe rounds of the jailat 8:50 o'clockand at that time Moonshower was lyingquietly on his bed. When he returnedan hour later, the man was dead. /
Inspite of his protests he was bookedand charged witha felony and confinedon the second floor of the city jail.
When arrested Monday morning

for what he had done and ifthe policewould allowhim his libertyhe promised
that he would support his wife andlead a different life.
Moonshower was arrested Monday
morning and charged with a felony.
It Is said that he was married aboutthree months ago in Sacramento andcame to Los Angeles atoout May 15. Hisarrest was made on complaint of hiswife, who alleges that he refused to
support her and forced her to make aliving for both of them as best shecould, finallyforcing- her into a houseon Court street, under threats againsther life.
When Hubbard made his rounds of
the jail nt 9:30 o'clock last night hefound Moonshower, who was confinedalone in the felony cell on the thirdfloor, hanging from the Hide of his cellwith his necktie bound tightly aroundhis throat. The Jailer rushed into thecell and took him from his suspendedposition. Police Surgeon Quint wassummoned and after a thorough exam-ination Raid that the man had beendead at least half an hour.

A thorough auditing of all city booksis likelyto be the result of the charges
filed against City Murshal J. J. Conklinby Policeman Folsom yesterday. Thepatrolman claimed that the marshalhad appropriated money belonging to
the city. The trustees thought it wouldbe a good thing to have the marshal'saccounts gone over and while they wereat it have other official's accounts In-vestigated. There has never been vthorough auditing of any city records.

"The Usurper" Is n serious comedy-
drama and to many In last evening'saudience Its chief disappointment wasthat It afforded so Rood a comedian asMr. Goodwin so few opportunitiesto provoke laughter. What drollery
there was In the play was well brought
forward by the star and company and
It formed a pleasant flavor to a melo-
dramatic series of incidents. There aresome Intense climaxes excellently sus-tained and made to appear Infinitelymore plausible than most of whatpassed for truth In the same author'sought-to-be-forgotten "Jim Bludsoe,"
but that mastery of stage technique
which makes a play a harmoniouswhole was lacking.
Mr. Goodwin has the role of JohnMaddox, a cowboy who has made his
fortune and gone to England to find thegirl with whom he fell in love tenyears before on the plains InAmerica.He becomes the lessee of a baronialestate and finds the girl, but in orderto make the necessary complication theauthor has her engaged to a neighbor-ing landowner. Sir George Trenery. Itis the bringing about of the usualhappy ending that makes the playfrom this point on.
Villain in DisguiseThis conclusion Is reached by the
easy process of making Sir George a
villain in disguise and the hero one ofthe few persons able to see him Inhisright llsht and the only one able tobring him to his Just deserts. Theheroine, Beatrice Clive, is made spe-
cially dense in reading the villain'strue character, and the author has her
insist that she will believe no slanders
and that she willmarry Sir George in
Eplte of everything1.These noble resolves of h«rs do not
daunt the astute cowboy hero, whosays he knows he cannot have BeatriceClive for all his ten years' waitingand
his twenty millions, but that he willpee to it that Sir George, the black-
guard, doesn't. In order to prevent
her from eloping with her fiance, Mad-dox chucks her into the tower room,
whera the servant unwittingly locks
them in as he closes the house for thenight.
Conveniently in that same tower thereis in hiding the father of the girl whowas "wronged," as the papers say, by
Sir George. Once in an effort for ven-geance he was careless enough to
shoot the wrong man, and for that they
put him in prison, from which he has
escaped and has come to hide in the
tower, from where he can appeal to
Sir George and perhaps await anotheropportunity to satisfy the honor of hisfamily name. In an Intense scenewhich follows the caging of these threecharacters together the heroine learnsthe truth concerning the man Bhe was
marrying. The convict lays down In acurtained embrasure for a sleep, whichends In death, Maddox and BeatriceClive find some supper which the con-vict's daughter has brought for herfather— and the rest Is easy.
Mr. Goodwin's Acting
Itis unnecessary to speak of Mr.Goodwin except to say he is Btlll thefinished actor whom wo have learnedto admire in the years that have passed
and gone. He Btllluses the same quietmethods and his work has yet the oldnaturalness that has always made himso acceptable. His opportunities arenot bo great as in other plays withwhich he has been connected, but theyare ample to show that he is Btlllworthy to be reckoned among the
princes in the realm of comedy. Histace has lost none of Its wonderfulmobility,his voice nothing of its music,his eyes none of their power of expres-sion. That he Is still a favorite thelarge audience last night bore eloquenttestimony and that he deserved thefavor with which he met none willdeny.
Miss Iluth Mackay made a stately
Beatrice Clive, but failed to convinceIn some of the more difficult aceneß.
Florence Parker was delightfully stren-
uous u» a "typical American girl,"andOeorgle Mendum gave distinction tothe role of the stenographer. EthelBeals was sufficiently intense for theunfortunate girl. The others of thecompany were •satisfactory.

Colonel Eddy, proprietor of the An-gel's Flight, reported to the policeyesterday that burglars had enteredhis power house by means of a skele-ton key and stolen $12 Incanh and $25
