man aged about twenty-five, resident
Of Bayard, O., employed as a brakeman

he will be crippled for life should he
survive his iphries. The crew were en-
gagged in switching and other work at
Kelly's mines, near Portland, when
Witherspoon either fell or was Jared
off the train, which passed over his
right leg lengthwise, lacerating it in a
horrible manner from the ankle to the
knee, tearing the muscles and flesh Of
and leaving the bone bare. He was
taken to steubenville to the railroad
hospital. Drs. I4aughlin and Elliott,
the attending physicians, while
they have not fully determined the
matter, are of the opinion that amputa-
ton will be necessary.

FIRE
How to Avoid It on the Fourth Of
Tufy.

July.
AS the glorious Fourth is approaching
when the fire fend is very apt to make
himself obnoxiously prominent, the fol-
lowing advice to the public, formulated
by the Fire Underwriters Inspection
bureau of San Francisco, can with profit
be noted:
If you have private fire apparatus, see
that the hose, fire pals and extinguish-
ers are in serviceable condition. If you
haye none, this is an excellent time to
to protect your property.
If you have small hose, attach it in
the most available place. Many kinds Of
business require the use of pals, tanks
and barrels. while stores, stables and
dwellings all have pals in use. Fill
these with water and dispose them adj
vantageously during this dangerous
time.
If you have gratings in the sidewalk
over basement openings, or have out
side basement doors, remove all rub
bish, and if possible close them over
temporarily to keep out fireworks.
Wet down wooden sidewalks and
planked areas, also under open sidewalk
gratings, and use water enough to run
through the cracks SO as to wet the
chips, paper, etc., underneath.
Remove all packing boxes, goods in
cases and rubbish from sidewalks, areas
and roofs. If any boxes are necessarily
left outside, pile them snugly and see
that no packing material is exposed.

NOT KNOCKED OUT.

Jere Dunn's Remarkable Decision in the
Slavin-Kilrain Fight.
New York, June 18.-Jere Dunn, ref
cree in the Slavin-Kilrain glove contest,
rendered his formal decision tonight.
He awarded the fight to Slav;n. but de-
clared that Kilrain was not knocked out.
Bets that the contest would not last ten
rounds are won, because the winner is
declared after less than nine rounds had
been contested Dunn says that Time
keeper DAILY made an unfortunate mis-
take after the gong got out of order, by
not calling out the seconds that elapsed
while Kilrain was down. He then states
that he considers himself equally at
fault in not keeping his eyes
toward the center of the ring, at that
time, in order to see for himself how
quickly Kilrain got up. He explains
the fact that his back was toward Kill
rain by saying he felt it his duty, on
account of Slavin's method of fighting,
10 watch the Australian to prevent him
from fouling. Dunn states that Slavin
always showed desire to 60 in and slug
Kilrain the instant he arose from falling
down. Dunn puts himself on record as
being against such tactics, and says he
would have decided against Slavin had
he committed that act in the ninth
round.
This evening in the hotel, Slavin and
Mitchell, who seemed to have been
drinking, made good deal of noise, and
intimated in roundabout way to Jere
Dunn that he had been afraid to decide
that Kilrain was knocked out, because
his ("Dunn's'D friends bet against that
result. Dunn replied that if he only got
bad reputation from such people as
the men who were talking, his charac-
ter would always be of the best. Slavin
was requested to leave the hotel, and

Los Angeles, June IS.
The citizens, water Company.

s EDITORS HERALD: The matter of scanty
water supply by the Citizens Water
company has been agitated for the past
lew years, but with apparently no sue
cess. The residents Of the hills desire
to be informed why this agitation has
been of no avail. Promises on the part
of the water company and the city coun-
Gil, when not carried out, tend to
strengthen the belief that they care but
little for the welfare of the people whom
they are supposed to serve and repre-
sent.
+ 1t vet remains for some one in author
ity to ''take the bull by the horns" or
the Citizens Water company by the
ears, and insist that sufficient water be
supplied, or else have the city take
charge OF the works.
This is not trifing matter. What
would occur in case of fire? Houses
would be consumed, with no water to
use to extinguish the confagration.
And again, from a sanitary point of
|view, it is an outrage on the people who
have to put up with it. In any other
community it would not be permitted,
and it is blot on the city, and will not
tend to increase its popularity. Yours
truly, CITIZENS.

Two Angelenos Promise to Build a

A HERALD reporter was last night
shown the plans for proposed baseball
and athletic park. The promoters of
the new enterprise are Lester Osborne
and George Turner, both well known in
Los Angeles. They are to file articles
of incorporation today and announce
that work will be commenced at once
on the new grounds, which are to be
located ON First street, directly opposite
the old grounds. The promoters report
that a lease has been secured and, that
everything is in readiness for the new
enterprise. The plans, if carried out,
will give Los Angeles frst-class ball
park. George Turner was connected
with the management of the Los An
geles club in pioneer baseball days in
Los Angeles. Lester Osborne is thor
oughly familiar with the national pas
time and has been baseball enthusiast
for many years. 1t is to be hoped that
the scheme will go through all right.

A Friend of the Library.

EDITORS HERALD: One of the coun-
cilmen said yesterday that "the people"
were comparing the expenses of the Ii
f.ary with those of six years ago. lean
hardly believe that people of intelli-
gence and progressive ideas are doing so,
except with feeling OF satisfaction that
the library is becoming what it should
be. I was canvassing once for an ex-
cellent book, when a woman shut the
door in my face with the curt remark
that she never read books There may
be such people in this city, people who
are away behind the times and cannot
see the wisdom of keeping up public
library that shall be commensurate with
the other improvements here, but for
the credit of our fair city let us hope
that such narrow-minded beings are not
in the majority.
The library six years ago was dis
grace to this city. 1t was impossible
for the student to follow out any line of
research, or for the lover of good litera-
ture to obtain anything of recent pub
lication. Many times when was una
BILE to get desired information. thought
OF the little New England cities of my
acquaintance which were far ahead of
this otherwise enterprising place in the
matter of library. Take, for instance,
Bangor, Me-, less than half as large as
Los Angeles, with public library of
about 10000 volumes; or Manchester,
N. H., which years ago possessed a
handsome stone library building;
or the little village of South
Natick, Mass, whose beautiful
Il k,,,l , Il, &c
wealthy citizen. The farming town
less than 1000 inhabitants, years age
had as many books in its library as the
Los Angeles public library contained
before the new charter was adopted.
+ One would think that people who
have more money than they can ever
use would like to perpetuate their
names, or exhibit their philanthropy,
by placing this library substantially on
its feet. A convenient location, an Or
namental structure of stone or brick, a
fund for the yearly purchase of books.
all these are needed and could be sup
piled by individual gifts. Can any in
tellectual person say that it would not
be ger erosity we'll directed?
n The councilman who declared that the
salaries of the library attendants were
all too large, am sorry to say is from
my ward. Perhaps he thinks it is an
easy matter for those attendants to the
{ on their feet all day and some of ihe
evening, reaching and lifting, collatong
and cataloguing, answering questi ms
requiring wide knowledge of literature,
etc. Their salaries are not large and
are well earned. 1t would be interest
ing to hear what amount Mr.. Afford
thinks they ought to receive.
By hard work have acquired little
property, on which gladly pay my pro-
portion of the library tax. l object to
being classed with ''the people" who
think too many books areb eing bought,
too many assistants are being employed
and too much money is being paid to
Those who do the work. would rather
pay three times the present tax than
have the encouraging condition of the
library hampered in any way.
