Sensational shooting Affair in San
Bernardfno.
SAN BERNARDINo, May 1S.-Trinidad
Orevela, q Mexican, shot and killed his
wife today at D. M, in the motor depot
hotel. The bullet entered the right
breast and caused death almost in
stsntly. Officer Mulvaney and young
man named jackson undertook to
arrest the murderer when Orevela
shot at Jackson. who was no more than
eight feet away. Orevela took to his
heels and fred as he went, Jackson and
MulvsLey following and returning the
fire. The noise of the shooting could be
heard over the business part of the city.
Deputy Sheriff King being on the street
ran to his house for pistol and cutting
across lots saw the Mexican entering
private grounds and ordered him to halt.
The Mexican placed his hands on his
pistol to draw it, but King was too quick
for him, getting the first drop. The
Mexican gave up his gun and was taken
to the county Jail. Altogether eight or
ten shots were fred in the pursuit, but
no one was hurt.

THE noble red man is beginning to i'm
itate the pale faces vices beyond the
surrounding of fire-wAter. James Wolf,
governor OF the Chickassw nation in the
Indian territory, has been indicted for
the embezzlemento OF $25 900 of per capita
funds donated to his people by the In
dian department. AS the indictment
was found in Judge Kemp's court by a
grand jury, whose attention was called
to the matter by Kemp, Governor Wolf
removed Kemp from Office and appointed
one Isaac Burrows as his successor.
Kemp refuses to give up the office, how
ever, and the people of the Chickasaw
nstien swear that they will sustain him
by force of arms, if need be. 1t begins
to look as if there was some chance of q
bitter war in the region devoted to the
original habitants of Georgia, Alabama
and Mississippi. The newspapers of
that zion claim that Wolf has stolen
neari three times ss much money as
the several sums for which be has been
indicted.

A Sauabbie Over Tipping.

The great tipping question in the house
of commons dining and refreshment
rooms is still unsettled. Heated debates
take place thereon at every meeting of
the kitchen committee, and bitter per-
sonal feuds have resulted therefrom.
The majority of members are opposed
to fees to walters. Notices have been
posted in the rooms forlidding the prac-
tice and circular has been sent to
every member to the same effect, but
the minority are strong and defiant and
ostentatiously tip every waiter render
ing them service. The. committee threat
en- to dismiss servants accepting fee,
and the minority declare that they will
bring every case of dismissal before the
house. 1t is probable that the speakers
authority will have to be invoked before
long.-London Truth.

CONGRESSMAN MAGUIRE of this state
hits the nail squarely on the head when
he says that the easiest way to quiet
discomfort among the working classes is
to build irrigating canals with their la
Dor, and bring into cultivation millions
OF acres that have hitherto lain idle and
unproductiye. Take the MoiSve river,
for instance. 1t ia not a navigable
stream-at least, not for any great dis
tance-and its waters could be easily d.
verified into irfigating canals, which
would give work to thousands of men
during their construction. 1t weuld
then afford homes to thousands Of peo.
pie on the lands so reclaimed and settle
mp q region of country that is now q
vast wilderness. The desert lands along
the Mojave are no more desolate than
were thoee on the banks of the Kern,
40 years ago; and We all know that the
valley of the Kern produces more meat
for the SHAMELESS than any other part of
the state in proportion to it's popula-
lation. Egyptian corn is g great agent
in the production OF good winter pork,
mutton and beef, and Kern county has
already we'll demonstrated that fact.

SHEETS OF LIQUID FIRE.
FATAL FLAMES AT AN OIL
REFINERY.
Forty-One Hundred Gallons or Bsnzins
Expleded-sPectstors Deluged With
the Burning FIuid-An
Awful Panic.

BRADDocK, Pa, May 13.-The barrel
took fire this afternoon, presumably by
spontaneous combustion, and was de-
stroyed. The loading racks and Eve
tank cars standing on side track were
also burned. The fire was fierce one
and attracted immense crowds of people
from all over this locality. While the
iremsn we're making a final stand and
thousands of psopls were watching,
there was tremendous explosion.
tank car holding 400 gallons of benzi ne
had lot go with a mighty roar. Fortu-
nately the burning benzine, which was
thrown into the air in sheets OF liquid
fire, had consumed itself before settling
down over the crowd.
The explosion was followed by panic
that cannot be described in words. The
blind, unrsasoning, pitiless instinct Of
self-prsservation showed itself, and the
weak went down before the strong in
maitis.dAa of nanas in the frantic rush
to escape from what seemed a horrible
death. In the stampede men, as well
as women and children. were thrown
down and trodden by the flying masses
that surged up from behind.
Thirty-fve of the tremen were
burned the skin peeled off their faces
and hands and the hair was singed off
their heads and faces. OF the many
others who were slightly burned there
is no record, and the total number OF
those burned and injured in the STAN
pede will probably reach a hundred
persons. The property loss will not ex-
coed $4,000
A crowd of siyhtseers were within
100 feet of the tank when it exploded.
Matt Behan, a refner with oil.eoaked
clothing, was standing close beside the
car then the big tank let go. The con-
/ cussion stunned him as il he had been
struck with sledge hammer, and in a
moment he was abaze from head TO foot.
| He rolled in the grass until the fire was
put out, although he was badly burned.
Another man, who was moving mass
OF flames, plunged into the creek and
! submerged himself. In the whole crowd
only four men were burned In this way.
Misc Emma Wheaton and Mrs. r.
Smith were carried down in the rush,
tram pied uLder loot and sustained
serious injuries.
Among others burned were:
John J. Crosby, ear burned and hands
roasted.
G. A. Coleman, badly burned about
face, neck and hands. He ia in danger
GUS condition from breathing the fire.
G. H. McGarvey, employee at REIN
cry, is in critical condition.

WATER RESOURCES FOR A DRY YEAR

The time Ia not far off when this and
the adjoining counties will be so thor
oughly provided with facilities to store
water that they will have bond OF fate
against any loss of crops from an occa-
sionsl dry year. Enough water is per-
mitted to go to waste and flow into the
sea every year to insure most plentiful
irrigation for all our lands in seasons of
deficiency of precipitation; indeed, if
the available water in our rivers were
interrupted and stored in reservoirs our
farmers would be completely independ-
emit of the immediate fall of rain upon
their lands.
We have la this and Orange counties
four rivers, the waters of which are flow
ing in constant stream into the ocean
from one years end to the other. There
is not one OF these rivers that does not
run through territory which at some
point does not contain depressions or
ravines which could be turned into inn
mense and safe reservoirs where an
ample quantity OF water could be stored
against the vicissitudes of the season.
The San Gabriel river in its cafion
stretch could alone be made to supply
water enough to irrigste, in seasons of
drouth, all the land lying under and
needing water on the mountains through
which it passes after it leaves its sources.
1t runs through broken character of
country where reservoirs of immense
proportions and of great depth could be
made in which billions of gallons could
be kept in constant reserve for any
emergency. So, along the Los Angeles
river there are great bsrrancas and ra-
vines that could be made into water re-
tanners which would be of inestimRble
service to the cultivators during a year
of paucity of rainfall.
The grand fact is that we have the
available water supply. 1t only needs
that we should make provision against
the waste or loss of that supply when it
may be wanted. Given, the water; and
the means OF storing it 30 as to tide as
over an occasional dry year is something
engineering hklll Will accomplish A
country which is subiect-even though
very exceptionally to lack of rain
will not be left long under serious loss
from such possibility when the means
to secure it against harm during the
deficiency is matter which skill and
labor can attain. This is at least fact
that can be safely counted upon if that
country is in this part of the world
and inhabited by an alert, enterprising
people like those who have planted their
ents in Los Angeles county.
1t is in such years as the one we are
now passing through that speculations
OF this fruitful character engage the
president and intelligent mind, The
law of necessity stimulates the faculty
of invention, and out of our wants we
derive the means of supplying them.
When we appreciate as we do at such
times the value of water. and know that
it is within our reach, it is but a step
to provide such contrivances as will &C.
cure it to us when we are most in need

A NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY
The Incorporation Papers Will
Be Filed Today.
1t Means the Expenditure of a Mil
lion Dollars.
The New system Backed by Mon of
Capital-It VIII Be Com
pleted within SIX
Months.

Incorporation papers will be filed to-
day for new electric railway, to be
known as the Los Angeles, Pasadena
and Altadena railway.
The several yesrs' rumors of electric
roads from Los Angeles to Pasadena
have been as plentiful as roses, but I'M
til today they have withered as flowers.
The incorporators of the new company
are headed by men of wealth-self-msde
men-being G. G. Green, the multi
millionaire OF Pasadena, Senator George
II. Barker of Philadelphia and Andrew
McNally of the great publishing firm
of Rand, Mentally & Co. OF Chicago.
Among the stockholders are William
Ferguson, local capitalist, Thomas J.
Barker OF San Francisco, J. j. Mellus,
Charles L. Strange, E. @. Hine. E. @.
Haskell, E. P. Carnicle, W. r. Stats
and A. McNallv, business men of Los
Angeles and Pasadena. 1t is also un-
derstood that some of the local banks
are interested in the enterprise.
1t ia intended that the road will pass
the East Side park and connect with the
Mt. Lowe railway. The building Of the
road will greatly enhance the value of
land lying along it's course. 1t is under
stood that the company has secured the
right OF way through private land tor
greater portion of the line. 1t is the in
tentIon to have the road in operation
within six months.
1t has been known for some time that
the Main Street and Agricultural Park
line has been under bond to these par
ties for 50 days, and it is included in
the Los Angeles end OF the new electric
railway system above mentioned. The
contamination of the deal has been de-
layed to the present time to await the
arrival of Senator Barker from the east |;
and it lie the intention to make first
class electric railway at once, If the
necessary local franchises are secured.
In that event it means the expenditure
of one and half millions Of dollars in
the city of Los Angeles within the en-
suing IL months.
