POLICE BRUTALITY.
Hfgh.Handed outrage by pas
tardly Club.SWiuger.

"Get down to the office, G.
d you, or will smash your d
head in" These words, with vclley
of other invectives, rang out in the
quiet air of early yestermorn and
startled HERALD reporter who was
writing at his desk in the office. Hur-
rying to the street the reporter was in
time to hear the resounding thud CT a
policeman's club upon a human head,
and to see the blow given by police
officer, who was hustling about three
citizens whom he had placed under
arrest. The place of the assault was
in front of No. SO North Spring street,
and as the reporter appeared on the
scene one OF the arrested men appeal
ed to the citizens, who had
been attracted to the spot
by the violent threats and
noisy demonstrations of the fficer, to
bear witness to the outrage being COM
mitted and to take note that none OF
his party were in anywise or way re-
sisting the officer or disturbing the
peace. The officer, frenzied with
rage, closed the appeal with blow
of his club upon the head of the man,
which could be heard block away.
Cries of "shame" went up from the
lips of the lookers-on, and one citizen
said: "This is an outrage which
should be thoroughly investigated b,
the Pullce Commissioners and Chic
Cuddy." Another said: "Contisca-
tion Of stars is now in order" A
third remarked: eve will have to
form citizens club to protect US
from the policeman's club"
One of the arrested men was Mr..
Stoll, the well-known soda water man
ufacturer Of Sainsevain street. This
gentleman has been a resident of Los
Angeles for many years and is one of
the most peaceful and law-abiding
citizens in the city. 1t appears that
he and his two companions had at
tended German society meeting and
in going to their homes, in jovial
mood began, with the natural pro-
clivity of the music-loving German,
the singing of song. Met by the po-
liceman, they were told to "shut up"
and expostulating with the officer as
to their rights as citizens, were abused
as told above.
The end OF the disgraceful exhibit
OF police tyranny was that the blue
coa' ed bully called for assistance and
two other officers responded. These
entered into the brutality OF the affair
and the three'maltreated citizens were
roughly handled and run in" AT
the Police Headquarters the arrested
men we're Immediately released upoJi
bail to the amount OF ten dollars each.
It.is likely that Mr.. S,oll and his as
sociates will not tamely submit to
clubbing without cause. Mr.. Stoll
remarked to the reporter that it seemed
strange that the Salvation Army may
make the welkin ring with their
voices while a private citi-
zen has his skull cracked for indulg-
ing in jovial song.

Destroyer Company;
DEAR SIR: About eighteen months ago my
little 12-year-old daughter, LaRay, became
fered intensely, and we despaired of her
life. Her worst and most violent attack
occurred about ten days ago, which it
seemed a most impossible one for her to
survive. Medical skill afforded her only
temporary relief, and each succeeding al
tack appeared to be more severe and danger
GUS than the preceding one.
Induced by the happy results OF your Mi
crobe Destroyer upon my husband, con-
Guided to give it q trial. l began by giving
her wineglassful of the compound three
times day, and prepared a garele which
she took in the usual way. The effect was
instantaneous. Heavy discharge Of clotted
mucous followed each time the gargle was
noticeable in her condition from the be
ginning. She is now going to school regu
larly and is in no way seriously affected by
any bad results, arising from tde disease.
feel that her cure Is effective and perma

who may be sufferers from the same cause
that they may know they can find safe

even to his most intimate friends.
His skull was cleft in twain, and his
face, neck and chest had been scalded
in O. frightful manner. He was all
begrimed with coal dust, having fallen
with his head among the fuel.
Along the track passed over by
Westerfeld's engine after it was re-
versed, were scattered seats, windows,
timbers and car trucks, and it is
miraculous how any Of the men on
the car escaped with their lives. The
fact is that the pilot of 1913 lifted it
right up in the air, throwing the in
mates in all directions, those left
clinging to the seats, falling through
after the car began to move. There
was great excitement at Newhall
when the news of the wreck first
reached that city, as the pas
senger train had passed through
for the South short time pre-
viously, and it was feared that
it was that which had been
smashed up. The Santa Barbara
southbound train was held over at
Newhall, and there was much dis
content among the passengers regard
ing their treatment there, as they
were unable to obtain any food at the
hotel, and had to remain supperless.
Judging by all the reports received,
| the work train was going at the rate
of about rs miles an hour when the
catastrophe occurred, and was evi-
IDENTIFY trying to make San Fernando
| in quick time. The wrecking train
did some good work throughout the
night, and by 9:30 had subsidiary
track laid around the wreck, it being
deemed impossible to clear the main
line under four or five days. All o.
the men on the spot worked diligent-
ly, and Mr.. Thompson was untiring il
his efforts from the time of his arriva
on the scene. When it was at last
made available for trains to pass
there were three regular passengers
from the north waiting, No. 10, No
20 (the Santa Barbara train) and No
ll7. They came down in procession
to San Fernando, being preceded by
the wrecker, and after they had GO
away, and No. 20, which was Il
hours late, had proceeded northward
