A WOMAN SHOT.
A RATHER MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
ON THE EAST SIDE.
Mrs. Chns. II. Parker, a Gormau, shot
In the Forehead While Watching
Passing Freight Train.
Possibly an Accident.

Considerable excitement was caused
at East Los Angeles yesterday morning
when it was rumored that Mrs. Charles
H. Parker Of 465 North Truman street
had been shot by deputy marshal.
1t appears upon investigation that
there was nothing especially sensational
in tie case after all, which was probably
an accident. Mr.. Parker is wood
carver, and resides with his family on
Truman gtreet short distance from the
Santa Fe railroad track. Yesterday
morning about IL O'Clock Mrs. Parker
was standing in the yard when Santa
Fe freight train passed. While watch
ing the cars she WAS struck in the top of
the forehead and knocked down. She
was picked up, and was attended by DR..
Schumacher. He probed for the ball,
and finally extracted it from her head,
it having made severe flesh wound,
passing around the skull under the
scalp. MIR. Perley was the engineer of
the freight train, and Mr.. Reed the
conductor. Officer Reynolds, who re-
sides opposite the Parkers, was also
called, and went to work on the Gaze.
1T was first thought that Mrs. Parker
might have been shot by one of the
deputies on the passing freight train.
An examination OF the ball taken from
her head revealed the fact that it had
been fattened. From this was at once
concluded that it was epent ball, hsv-
ing fret struck some object and then
glanced, hitting Mrs. Parker. 1t was
thought that the bullet was from one of
the revolvsrs OF the deputies. who had
possibly carelessly handled it. AS the
bullet. however, appeared to be a rife
ball, it was further stated that it was
from gun discharged by come one who
might have been hunting in the neigh
borhood. or else fred at the train from
q distance.
The officers seem to favor the latter
idea, and state that they do not regard
the shooting as intentional. Mrs. Par
ker, at last accounts, was resting easily.

THE STANLEY CASE AGAIN.

A Complicated Financial Transaction
Now Under Invostigation.
Henry J. Stanley was placed on trial
in Judge Smiths court, charged with
grand larceny. This is the case which
has received much attention in the
courts, both civil and criminal.
Over year ago Mr.. Charles Swanson
borrowed $500 through Stanley and his
father as agents. When the money was
paid he only received 5000, it being
agreed that 5000 should be held until
the building, which was security. should
have progressed far enough to make the
security sufficient. He never received
the balance of the money, although the
mortgage is in that sum, and it is
claimed that the Stanleys got away
with it. Civil suit was brought and
then criminal proceedings instituted
against young Stanley. his father having
left the city when the storm burst. The
trial will probably be concluded today.

The committee appointed by the coun-
Gil to fix the telephone rates. met yes-
terday afternoon, with Mr.. Munson in
the chair.
Louis Glass of the Sunset Telephone
company made statement that if the
proposed reduction of rates was made it
would result in great loss to the COM
psny and render the plant in Los Ange-
les, improbable. He claimed that the
company could 60 into court, if the rate
asestablished, and have the court fix a
rate that would give the company q
reasonable compensation on it's invent
ment. He claims that every additional
telephone put in the system made an
additional loss, unless the rates were
raised. The committee took the matter
under abatement.

NO NEW DEVELOPMENTS

In the Case OF Henry Patterson for As

There were no new developments yes
terday in the case against Henry Patter-
son, the engineer charged with having
attempted the life of Engineer Martin

were at work on the case during the day,
as were several United States msrshals.
The investigation went to corroborate
sll that Officer Woodward stated regard
ing the capture and which was published
yesterday. The officer found further that
Patterson had hired horse and buggy
from q livery stable at la North Tru-
man street, East Los Angeles, about
o'clock Thursday afternoon. What he
did for the rest of the day WAS not to be
learned or else they are keeping quiet
as to what they ascertained. The Off
GERS are very reticent regarding their
investigations but think that there may
be further developments during the
course of the next few few days.

matter.

Mystery of the OYSTER Red

One of the greatest natural curiosities
in the world is the Texas oyster bed. This
bed extends across the entire state from
south to north, and has lain long enough
to become stratified The shells are soft
when first taken out, but harden upon
exposure to the atmosphere. At Henrietta.
in the panhandle, a number of beautiful
buildings have been constructed of this
material At Weatherford and San An
tonic shell roads have been made. The
oysters embraced several species long
since extinct, and while biologists agree
that Texas must at one time have been
at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, they
are ut a loss to account for the presence
of this oyster bank, there being none
found east or west of the strata.

A Black Bear Found Embedded in a Block
OF Ice.
while at Birch Creek said Mr.. Ober-
lander, Il was informed of the discovery
of wonderful cave by miner named
Schumann. I was unable to visit the
cave, which is located forty miles above
AMSTERDAM creek. Schumann states that
his cave is eighty feet in length and varies
from four to seventy feet in width. After
entering through a small aperture, the
sides of which are composed of granite,
one emerges into a solid ice chamber,
from which hang numerous stalactites
glistening like silver. Schumann was
surprised to find that there were num-
Der of air currents in the cave, the source
of which he could not determine. At one
side he found black bear sitting partly
upright. The sight of the animal alarmed
him greatly at first, but failing to detect
any signs of life he approached it and
found that the bear was frozen stiff in
a block of ice. He took his AK and
chopped a piece off the animal. Picking
up portions he found that it crumbled at
his touch. Similar caves, some large,
others small, have been discovered about

FRENCH TRAFFIC IN HAIR.
Workers in Paris Engaged in Buying and
Selling EOmen's Hair.

Paris is the center of the fine manu-
facture of prepared human hair. OF
course. the reference here is to woman s
hair. for mans hair is worthless for any
industrial purpose. Aside from the houses
that manufacture exclusively for the eX-
port trade the city numbers about 20OO
hair dressers and 5000 workmen, about
half of whom are engaged in the manu-
facture properly so called.
The source of supply Of the hair may
be divided into three cateSorleS. Inc
hair of the first category is furnished by
foreign countries, India and China being
the largest suppliers. The hair is eX-
cluslvely black and gray, and comes IN
boxes, carefully packed. In addition to
these countries Italy, Spain, Germany
and Russia supply small quantities. The
hair from India and China undergoes
quite an elaborate preparation. 1t is
first matched, sorted and combed, and
then immersed in a securing solution.
Upon coming from this bath it is united
root-end to r0ot-end and formed into locks
that are tied near the roots. 1t vet re-
mains to render the hair thin and flexible,
ana then 20 immense it into solution of
soft soap and chl0rate of potash, to rem
der it less brittle. Lastly definite color
and shade are given it.
A light or blonde shade IS obtained with
oXySenated water Or a saturated solution
of carbonate of potash; to dye it black it
is boiled for q few hours in bath pre-
pared with q decoction of nutgalls or
Campeachy wood, in which sulphate of
iron is dissolved. and into which q 1t lie
sumac is put in order TO give it luster
and remove the blush tint peculiar to the
hair of the dead. Finally it is bleached
by immersing it in several baths of oxy-
genated water to which a few drops of
ammonia have been added. Thus pre-
pared, the Chinese or Hind0o hair is sold
TO the hair dressers, who work it to their
fancy, and afterwards sell it at more or
less moderate prices
