While Walking Along Grand Ave-
nue-SeriOuslY Wounded - Various
Other Accidents About Town Yes
terday-A Boy Hurt in West Haven.
The most serious as well as the most
painful accident, which resulted from the
celebration of the Fourth, occurred on
Grand avenue last evening about O'Clock.
Miss Mary Bree of 40 Blatchley avenue,
sister of Attorney James P. Bree of 131
st. John street, was walking along the
north side of the avenue In company with
her sister, Miss Annie Bree and Miss
Estelle Barry, who last week graduated
from the State normal school, when a
pistol report was heard somewhere behind
her and q bullet entered her right eide just
back of the abdomen. Who fred the shot
is not known, but the most probable
theory Is that some one of the celebrators
of the ever-glorious Fourth aimlessly but
with criminal cArelessness discharged bis
loaded pistol to add to the glory of the day.
It is hardly conceivable, however, how any
one could have had the recklessness to dis
charge q revolver at q crowded hour on
Grand avenue.
Miss Bree was walking about foot be-
hind her sister and friend, on the inside Of
the walk She WAS first seen to fall by
Peter Costello of Southington, Ben
Schwartz of $50 Grand avenue and Peter
Hart, all of whom ran quickly to her as
sistance and carried her into Charles
Jaeger's bakery across the street. DR..

Attorney Bree, were quickly summoned.

LOSANGELES, 1SAN FRANCISCO 4
Another Game That Was Tied
and United.
The Angels Outbat Their Opponents
and Field Well.
Borchers Pitched shut-Out Ball and Did
Little Batting on His own Ac-
count-How the Game
Was Won.

The Angels and Daddies seem to enjoy
playing ball when the score is even.
For the greater part of the time yester-
day afternoon the teams were sup
sticks" as far as runs went; but as the
game got older the local swatters did
little better hitting, and from the sixth
inning to the close there was very little
doubt as to the result.
Borchers pitched magnificent game,
allowing four hits, striking out five and
giving two bases on balls. 1t is rumored
that the chief goes to New York next
week.
Both sides made three runs in the
first inning. Los Angeles earned one OF
first three. Rasty walked to first as
usual, and McCauley followed him with
hit. Glen then placed double over
against the score board and scored both
runners. Lytle sacrificed his captain to
third, from which bag he scored on
Maguire's error of Lohman's bounder.
San Francisco's three runs were made
by boil on Glenalvin's neck. Sharp
| waited for four wild ones and was ad-
vanced peg on Glen's error of Levy's
bounder. Mcguire then made the only
hit OF the first ak innings and scored
Sharp. Glen also gave Carroll life at
first, scoring Levy, and Powers sacrifice
sent Mcguire home.
The score remained tied until the fifth
| inning, when Hutchinson gave Spies
life at .first. Sharp was given a base,
and when they we're making a double
steal Lohman threw low and allowed
Spies to score.
In the sixth the Angels took lead OF
one. Hughes waited for gift, was fol-
lowed by Borchers with double. Rssty
and Hutchinson both found singles, and
! the result was two tallies.
The Angels appeared to put a cinch
on the game in their half OF the ninth.
Glenalvin and Hulen found place to
put the ball for one base each, and were
advanced point when Hughes walked
to first. Borchers then hit q single to
left, that scored both the captain and
the kid. This practically ended the
game, as the San Franciscos could do
nothing in their half.

FARBAR FOUND GUILTY.
A JURY DOES Nor HESITATE LONG
IN HIS CASE.
The Assailsnt OF Miss Cummings VIII
Suffer the Penalty of His
Brutal Crime-The
Verdict.

Henry J. Farbar will once more re-
turn to familiar scenes behind peniten-
tiary walls. He was convicted late yes
terdsy afternoon in Judge Smiths court
of the rape, December 29th last, of Miss
George Cummings, most estimable
young lady of this city.
Yesterdy morning the restrictions as
to spectators were removed by the court,
and crowd OF curious people soon lille d
the eeats,
The defense AoundeYed along as best
they could to break the damning chain
Oh evidence that had been produced, and
allowed the defendant TO go on the
stand, where he was obliged to make
damaging admissions.
The prosecution endeavored to put In
q statement by Manuel Lugo, a fellow
prisoner In the county Jail, that Farbar
had tried to get him TO say he was with
him during the hours Of the assault upon
Miss Cummings, In an endeavor to
prove an alibi, The court ruled the
statement inadmissible.
When the defendant took the witness
stand he was evidently nervous. He
denied being in the city at the time of
the assault, and said he was in River
side December 2Sth. He nemsined in
Riverside until the morning of January
1st, He slept with q young man named
Fuller (the missing witness) while there,
and got back to Los Angeles January I'd.
He returned to Riverside shout January
Sth. Farber also related his move
ments subsequent to this time.
Upon cross-exsmination the defend
ant admitted that he had three times
been convicted of felonies and as to two
times more Woald not answer. One OF
these was for shooting an officer in Port
land, for which he served seven and one
half years; another for assault to rob, a
third for burglary. In fact. he was
forced to show by his own mouth that
be has had career Of crime and has
spent most of his time for years behind
prison wallis for violent crimes.
Fsrbar's statement was In reality
about all the defense he had, and bsfore
the case reached the Jury Il was evident
that he was In tight box.
The jury retired about 8 o'clock and
brought in verdics Of guilty in x,sout
20 minutes, The sentence was contin.
ued. Rape under the law of California
can be punishable by life imprisonment.
