SANTA MONICA

The weather has reached that degree
of perfection that language fails to de-
scribe it. One must be here where the
"salt smell cheers the land" to thor
oughly understand what is ''as fair as a
day in June" The electric current was
turned on Friday evening at the Arcadia,
when the resultant illumination was all
that was expected.
The citizens have circulated petition
requesting and demanding the board OF
trustees to call an election for the pur-
pose of voting on the question of bonds
for a wharf.
H. A. Winslow, of the Red Store, who
has been enjoying a vacation at the Yo-
semitic, returned yesterday, much re-
juvenated by his trip.
A serious accident occurred yesterday
morning at O'Clock, at the Soldiers
home gate, which will probably termi-
nate fatally. Chris Charles, who drives
the car which plies back and forth be-
tween the Soldiers home and this place,
had reached the gate on his first trip
out and had left the car to open the gate
to go into the home grounds, the horse
still moving. Before he had the gate
opened the horse struck him and knocked
him down. He fell across the track,
two wheels passing directly over the
kidneys and lower part of the bowels.
He was moved to the home hospital,
where DR.. Hasse made an examination,
he being unable TO state the extent of
his injuries, but they must be OF very
serious character from the circum-
stances. Charles has always been a
steady, industrious young man, whose
many friends have learned to appreciate
his sterling manhood.
Mrs. Seltin has moved the Bon Ton
restaurant which was formerly on
