BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
a Discussion on the Tigueroa Street
Improvement.

Discussion on the FigueroA Street
Improvement.
The board of public works yesterday
morning took up the bids for the grad
ing and improving of Figueroa street
from Adams street to the city line.
Several OF the bids included cement
sidewalke, and az this was not provided
in specifications E, under which the
new improvement was provided for by
ordinance, number of property owners
headed by II. s. Thorne and L. ].
Thomas, appeared before the board to
have an exact definition as to what was
proposed to be done on the sidewalk
matter.
Mr.. Thorne raised the question that
the old specifications were wrong and he
thought the beat way would be to get
out new Specifications and begin over
again. Provision could then be made
for cement eidewalks in the future. He
said that majority of the frontage on
Figuerea street are now in favor OF hav-
ing the whole proceedings abandoned.
He thought the proper way to do the
work was 30 begin under the bond act,
The board then took the matter under
advisement.
The Weetern Union Telegraph COM
pany was granted permission to erect
four poles on First street to enable the
company to move their Offices to the
Wilson block, at the corner of Spring
and First streets. -

OBSTRUCTED A ROAD.

Suit Begun by Supervisor Hay as Road
CommissIoner.
Suit was begun yesterday by Super.
visor James Hay, as road commissioner
of the Fourth supervisorial district,
against J. L. Dunnigsn, to have q fence
declared a nuisance.
He alleges in the complaint filed that
a highway was dedicated in the Wiesen-
danger tract in 1856. Afterwards, in
1892, the defendant became the owner
OF lots 16 and II in the tract. and OBJ
structed the highway by building G
fence which extended into the alley
about six feet from the rear of his lots
and their entire width. and has since
still further obatructed the highway by
building haystacks and placing other
distinctions on it, Notice was eerved
on him May IL, 1894, but the defendant
refused to remove the obstructions.
The defendant therefore asks that the
nuisance be abated and for $40 for each
day the distractions have remained
since service of the notice.

ONE WAY OF REPORTING.
Tho Express Denies and Confirms an


Tho Express Denies and Confirms an
Incident.
The HERALD of Wednesday published
an account of the firing OF the Santa Fa's
bridge at San Dimas. The matter was
treated as follows by the Evening Ex-
press:
FALSE REPORT.
The officials were feeling quite indig-
nant this morning over tho report pub
liehed in morning paper to the elect
that bridge had been burned at San
Dimas, Said Dispatcher McGovern to
an Express reporter: 1T is lie, and
wish the Express would contradict it.
There was no bridge burned and none
set afire. A small culvert was set aire
by sparks from the engine. but was ex-
tinguished with bucket OF water. This
is liable to happen and does happen
nearly every day in the year. No
bridges have been burned, nor has there
been any attempt on the part OF our old
men or their friends to tamper with any
of the company's property since the
trouble commenced.
However, in its issue of the 18th it
treats the case as follows:
THE BRIDGE BURNER.
Sheriff Clins is investigating into the
burning of portion of the San Dimas
bridge, which occurred Tuesday night,
and is liable to have the party who ap-
piled the torch in the county Jail before
sundown. 1t appears thata young man,
well known in that neig nborhood, is the
suspected party. Deputies w. H. Cline,
Billy Moore and j. j. Carpenter were
soon upon the scene, and in a ehort time
they had the fend spotted. He not only
set fire to the bridge but prepared note
which fell into the officers hands. 1t
read: death to the man who puts out
the fire."
The suspected party is in no wise con-
nected with the strikers, and is appa-
rently unknown by any OF the COM
pany's employees. About Is feet OF the
west end WAS burned. A wrecking crew
from San Bernardino built o temporary
structure in short time. Every bridge
on the line is now being guarded by
deputy United States msrshals.

IMPURITIES NERVE.
A BRAKEMAN AMPUTATES HIS
OWN HAND.
A Gruesome Incident Which Occurred
at Barstow Few Days Ago.
A Plucky Railroad
Man.

Tee great railroad strike has caused
hsrdships to hundreds of people in this
region and some very grave hardships
but that borne by James McMurtie, a
brakeman on the Santa Fe railroad and
resident of Pomona valley, is the sever
est of them all. On July 1st McMurtie
was helping in putting together some
freight cars that had been left at Bars
tow when the strike began. and had his
left hand badly crushed between the
bumpers of the cars. He suffered in
tensely and almost swooned with pain,
but could not do anything to help him.
self. For four days he bathed his hand
in cold water and used ell the liniments
that could be had about Barstow station.
He walked the floor day and night be-
cause OF his agony.
Signs of blood poisoning began to
show themselves in the wound, and
McMurtie knew that something ought
to be done in the way OF eurgicsl ope-
ration at once. There was no one about
there to do the work. and he was almost
wild With pain and dread at the result
of the injury. He had seen several am
putstions and surgical operations among
the railroad men, and he resolved to go
TO work on himself. He retired to his
room, carefully sharpened his knife,
barred his left arm, and began cutting
and hacking at his hand.
He actually cut away his own hand
below the wrist. The pain was horrible,
but, gritting his teeth, he kept at the
amputation. He was heard to fall upon
the floor, and several men rushed in to
find him fainting upon the floor, with
his bleeding stump of hand at his
side.
When McMurtie was restored to con-
sciousness he directed the dressing of
his severed hand. A few hours later a
man, who had been a physician and
surgeon for years, happened to ride into
Barstow from the mines, and he took
McMurtie's csee in hand. At last ac-
counts the brakeman was doing well,
but there are fears that the whole hand
will have to be taken off at the wrist,
because of the unscientifc work that
McMurtrie performed upon himself
