Plucky Act Of Park Secretary
P. A. Howard.
He Rescues Young Girl and Her
Grandfather.
They Were Struggling in the Waters
of Westlake Park Lake
How Howard Pulled
Them Out.

The presence of mind and physical
activity of Secretary P. A. Howard of
the park board, last evening, saved the
lives of two persons at Westlake park.
At about O'Clock an old gentleman ar
rived at the boat house, with pretty
little girl of 13, and hired boat. He
then rowed his young companion out on
the lake. and the two seemed to enjoy
their outing very much. They had cir
cumnavigated the pond two or three
times, and were about in the middle of
it, when the little girl was seen from the
boat house rising in the stern-sheets,
evidently with the intention Of chang.
ing seats with her companion. While
she was climbing over the thwarts,
however, she stumbled, and the next
instant the boat was upset. The girl
had not had time to gain hold on the
beneath the water, while the overturned
momentum it retained. The old man
was clinging to the boat.
As soon as the accident happened Mr..

toward the scene of the accident. The

ard, divesting himself of his coat,
plunged headforemost into the water
and seized the unconscious body OF the
child. He then clamored into the boat
with his precious burden, and rowing
towards the old man helped the latter
also into safe berth. When the life
boat reached the boathouse everything
was done at once to resuscitate the girl.
room and laid on the bed, and the usual
means of producing artificial respira-
tion were employed with success. The
old man in the mean time wrapped him
self in blanket and sat shivering in
the rays of the setting sun. He said his
name was French, the girls Bessie
Sedgwick, and that he was her grand
father. Bessie, as stated above, is 13
years old, while Mr.. French is about 55.
After having recuperated to some ex-
tent, Bessie and her companion were
packed into hack and driven off to an
address on Pico street given by the old
man. According to the directory nei-
ther Sedwicks nor Trenches live on Pico
street.
Mr.. Howard, although he himself had
had cold bath, and had ruined suit
of clothes into the bargain, with charac-
tpristic generosity and modesty did not
even demand the accurate address of
the rescued.

Under new law which must be passed

Democrats can not by any possibility lose
control of the state senate but the Repub-

assembly by a sufficiently large majority
to have control of both houses on joint

DID GORMAN INJUSTICE.
The Alleged Chicago Boodler Puts in an
AnpearanCe.

Appearance.
CHICAGO, March 23.-Alderman Cor
man was done an injustice in the
dispatches yesterday. lie made his ap
pearance yeserday at the Office Of
the criminal court clerk with his
bondsmen and gave bail in $4,000. He
had only been out of the city for few
hours on business. He said if there was
any boodlery in the council he was not
aware of it. No one had ever offered him
anything for n vote and he could not
understand why he had been indicted.
No Further Indictments Yet.
Yesterday was a quiet one in the prose
cution of the case. A number of wit.
nesses, some of them mysterious, were ex-
amined by the jury, and the state prose
cutor appeared pleased with what they
told. He says he is after some big fish,
and will certainly catch them. Alderman
Roth, who played the role of detective on
the boodlers, seems to have cinch on
them. He had his fair stenographcr hid
den in rooms where he met them, and she
took down the conversation verbatim. She
also listened in the room over Powers 81
O'Brien's saloon and took notes of what
was said.

WILL COST HER TEN MILLIONS.
That Is What Lucky Baldwin's Daughter
Gives for a Husband.

Gives for a Husband.
SAN Francisco, March s3.-It has be
come known here that Anita, the only
daughter of Millionaire Lucky Baldwin.
has eloped with her cousin and married
him last August, just outside the Golden
Gate. What makes this elopement note.
worthy is that the girl was heiress to s10,'
100000 if she hadn't married young George
Baldwin, whom the old man detests. A;
it is, Baldwin will probably give her only
a few thousand dollars. Anita is IL,
very pretty and accomplished, and about
the only human being the old millionaire
really cares for.
Handsome George Baldwin Appears.
He was proud of her beauty and intclli.
gcncc, and said if she married to suit him
he would give her his 20, ,000-acre Santa
Anita ranch, which is worth fully $40 000,-
600 George Baldwin was brought from
Maryland by old Lucky" five years ago,
and installed as clerk in the Baldwin ho-
tel. He was handsome and clever and
about 20. lie and Anita, then only l., be
came close friends. When Lucky" finally
discovered that they were lovers, he sent
Anita TO a seminary, but the lovers CORE
sponded, and when they found the old
millionaire would not listen to any talk OF
union they decided to marry.
Time May Revenge Them All.
Baldwin forbade Anita to speak to her
cousin, and when he found them together
one day on the street promptly discharged
George. This was about Christmas, and
George got his revenge by Undue
ing Anita to marry him on a tug. As she
was not OF age the marriage was kept a Sc
cret, and Lucky Baldwin has just been in
formed of the facts by dispatch sent to
him on his ranch. He will be savage. and
those who know him say the girl has
made a great mistake, as he will never for
give her.
The Old Man Boiling Over.
LATER. Reports from Santa Anita
ranch, near Los Angeles where old Mill
ionair@ Lucky" Baldwin is resting under
his vine and fig tree, say that he is boiling
over with rage at his daughters silly
elopement with her cousin George. He re-
fused to talk Monday night when seen
by a reporter, and his friends here declare
that George will do we'll to keep out of the
old mans WAY
