A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Little BOY Crushed by a Log at
Long Beach.

~ Littie hoy Cfushed by Log at
Long beach.
A fatal accident occurred yesterday
morning at 10 O'Clock at Long Beach.
At that time two small boys named
Joseph Dubbs and w. N. Blackman
were playing on the beach near the West
End bath house. The sea was running
rather high at the time and the waves
were dashing high over the sand. The
boys caught sight OF large log which
had been broken from the wharf the
night before, and as it washed ashore
they ran to haul it out of the water. One
end of the log was firmly imbedded in
the sand, and thinking to hold the other
end steady, the boys climbed over it.
At this moment larger wave than had
rolled In for some minutes caught the
swaying end and swung it around. The
Dubbs boy lost his balance and in some
way fell under the swaying log, and as
the wave reached its full height it landed
on his head and chest, crushing him 80
that he expired almost instantly. w. l..
Bosbyshell and ex-Deputy District Attor-
ney Dunlap, who were not far away, ran
to the spot and extricated the boy, but it
was too late. DR.. Huckins, who arrived
on the scene few minutes later, found
life extinct. The boy was but ii years
of age, and went to Long Beach only a
few weeks ago with his mother, who is
from Boston and was in California for
her health. Coroner Meredith held an
inquest during the afternoon, and the
jury found verdict of accidental death.
The body will be sent to Boston for inter-
mept.

SANTA MONICA.
How Admission Day was Observed
Down by the Sea.


Down by the Sea.
Santa Monica is too quiet a place to
make much OF hurrah about anything,
and even the fact that today was Admis-
sion Day failed to quicken the public
pulse. To be sure, there were more
people on the beach than usual, but this
was due to the influx of recreators from
Los Angeles, Pasadena and the many
other towns that supply Santa Monica
with her floating population.
The breakers were almost as heavy as
yesterday, go that the timid contented
themselves with reclining on the sands
and watched the more ventureeome as
they Owed and sported in the foaming
waters. Those who live here say that
the seas have seldom been as high as
they have been during the past few
days; in fact, last night the jewellers on
the beach were somewhat alarmed, for
the waves came right over the sands, and
in some instances found their way into
the houses and tents.
Under such circumstances it is not,
therefore, much matter of wonderment
that nothing has yet been seen of the
remains Of poor Carl Miles; and, by the
way, Carl will be we'll remembered by q
good many when it is stated that he is
the youth who carried the HERALD and
Times to Long Beach during the Alliance
Assembly.
Visitors to the beach will notice huge
mass of timber stranded high and dry,
and as they gaze on it they are looking

A DOUBLE INQUEST.
James McGuffrie Dies at San Pedro
Yesterday Morning.


Coroner Meredith held two iuquests at
San Pedro yesterday morning; one
on the body Of Agnes McGufffie, who was
shot by her husband, and the other on
James McGuffrie, who shot himself after
killing his wife. McGuf'rie died during
the morning, and up to the time of his
death suffered considerably. He said
that he had gone to see his wife with the
intention of shooting her and then him
self.
The principal witness at the inquest
was Mrs. Croker, who told the story of
the shooting substantially as published
in the HERALD yesterday morning. She
said that after Mrs. McGuffrie had COME
in to see her husband, he asked her
about some man whom he had seen at
the ranch. Mrs. McGuffrie told him
that it was only hired man. He then
asked Mrs. McGuffrie to return to him,
but she refused, and then he drew his
revolver and shot her as stated.
The Coroner's jury brought in verdicts
to the effect that Mrs. McGuffrie had
come to her death at the hands of her
husband, and that James McGuffrie had
committed suicide. Mrs. McGuffrie was
a native of England, 43 years of age, and
James McGuffrie was of the same
nativity, 4S years of age.

THE CITRUS FAIR.
II Ought to be Held In Los
Angeles.

H OuRnt 10 De hel0 In Los
Angeles.
The sum of S. 900 has been appropri-
ated for the purpose of holding Citrus
Fair somewhere in the Sixth Agricultural
District. OF course every little place in
the southern end of the county will use
whatever pull it has to have the fair take
place within its borders. San Dieguito
will be heard from, no doubt, as claiming
the prominence she has achieved in
being the home of Nymfa Morales,
and seabright will claim it on
the ground that it has never had any
thing, and never will unless it gets the
Citrus Fair. The selection of the place
rests with the State Board Of Horticul-
ture, and what the members of that body
want to do is to select place in the true
citrus belt, central to all ether places,
with hall sufficient to make the exhibit
in, and where the largest number OF
people will be able to see the
display with the least inconven-
fence to themselves. That place is
Los Angeles. 1t is central to all points
in the district. All the railroads run in
here. There are halls to select from to
put the exhibit in place, and there are
many times more people here than at
any other point. There are more people
resident here, and there are always a
large number of tourists here. This is
the place for the Citrus Fair.

BURIED TREASURE.
A Keg Of Gold in Santa
Monica Canyon.
l SHIPS CREW MURDERED.
The Captain and One Man Escape
and Hide Their Money in a
Butter Keg.

The mortal remains of an old note
book, bound in imitation alligator skin,
was picked up on the sidewalk nearly in
front of the Nadeau yesterday. 1t con-
tains some entries in lead pencil of
cabalistic nature. Inside the leaves of
the book were pawn ticket for watch,
Q pass over the Los Angeles County road,
good for the rest of this year, and poll
tax receipt, all in the name of Hugh
Dixon.
All this would not be remarkable, nor
call for more than an announcement of
the find, in order that the loser might
come to the HERALD Office and get the
book, as he may now. But, besides the
above, the book contained in it's leaves a
letter which contains news of the utmost

buried it in q butter keg in Santa Monica
cai1on. Here is the letter:

There are great many Inaccuracies Of
spelling and inelegancies of composition
in the letter which show that the writer
was an old salt. These have been
omitted in print. There ia no way of as
certaining who "Sam" is, what the ship
was, nor when the treasure WAS buried.
The stream in the cation is strange

Still if all those at the seaside resort will
turn out in force someone may find this

morning in an intoxicated condition. He
tried to get her to return to Mrs. Nichol-

since her release from Jail, but could not
induce her to do SO, and she was taken
to the station. She had $40, which she
wanted to deposit for her release, but
Judge Stanton thought it best to send
her to the County Jail, where she will

BUNCH ARRESTED.
Charged with Helping Morales
Steal Horses.

Yesterday morning Constable Frank
Benedict, of Santa Monica, brought
George w. Bunch to Los Angeles from
San Bernsrdino, where he was arrested
on Sunday night on charge of grand
larceny, for stealing horses from the Ca
mulos ranch and also from Santa Monica.
Constable Benedict stated that he had
been following Bunch for several days.
He got track of him at Anaheim, and
followed him to Yorba and several other
places, finally ascertaining that he
had been seen near the Indian settle
ment near San Bernardino. He said
that number Of times he was only an
hour or so behind Bunch, and on one
occasion just missed train that carried
the fugitive away from him. On Satur-
day Benedict arrived at San Bernardino
and went out with Sheriff Seymour to
look for Bunch. They did not return
until Sunday afternoon, when they
found that Bunch had been captured in
the town by one of Sheriff Seymour's
deputies. Bunch was at one time boon
companion of Morales, and Constable
Benedict says he believes that he was
concerned in nearly all the horse stealing
with which Morales has been charged
Bunch met Morales at a dance in Rim
con some time in the early part of July.
They started out for San Diego together
and csmped the first night on the shore
of Lake Elsinore, and the night follow

having carefully avoided Murrieta and
Temecula on the way to the latter place.
The next night they were at Mt. Fair
view, and the following morning passed
through Moosa canon and Escondido to
San Dieguito, stopping that night at the
ranch of Jose Morales.
The next day was hot, and Morales,
falling in with some boon companions,
who were strangers to Bunch, all but
