THEY RECEIVE THEIR FIRST PAY
The Demands for the Unem-
plOyed Rushed Through.
One Hundred Men Receive Over
Seven Hundred Dollars.
The Second Gang OF One Hundred Are
Put to Work-Plans Being
Discussed to Provide
More Work.

The first 100 of the unemployed who
were put TO work last week drew their
pay yesterday afternoon from the city
treasury, amounting to over 500.
The work involved in getting the de-
mands approved and in shape was con-
siderable. After being approved by the
city council they had certain routine
to 90 through with, so that it was late
in the afternoon before the men re-
ceived their money.
While the amounts were small, So in
most cases, all seemed very glad to get
it. and it no doubt relieved the pressing
necessities of many families last night.
Yesterday morning 100 additional
men took the places of those who
knocked off Wednesday night. There
were a few who were Oh the list who did
not put in appearance and some of the
teams which had been arranged for
were not on hand.
The labor commission still has big
problem to solve, and that is how to
provide for all who have applied for
n
Up to late yesterday afternoon appli-
cations had been turned in by the differ
ent councilmen which aggregated 800.
These are supposed to be men of fami-
lies, or who have others dependent on
them.
By tacit agreement the councilmen
have not presented the applications OF
unmarried men, or those who have no
one else to support. 1t is believed that
If these were put in the total number OF
unemployed would reach nearly 1000.
There ia some complaint, also, that
men who were working for contractors
for $l.50 day have, some of them, left
their jobs and applied for the So work
furnished by the city.
There has been considerable discus
sion about this phase of the matter, and
it has crystallized in movement to
change the present plan Of employment
for the protection of those who are in
absolute need OF work.
This movement found voice yesterday
when Commissioner Strohm endeavored
to have the labor commission instructed
to put all worthy unemployed, married
and single. who have lived in the city
six months, to work for six days at
81 per day, instead of three days at So a
day.
1t was referred to the labor commits
sion, and it is more than likely that
such change will be made next week.
The advocates of this plan contend
that it will give employment to more
men and prevent men taking advantage
of the present arrangement to leave
jobs whore they are making living, but
receiving less than So day.
There was Bome kicking by council
men yesterday about the distribution of
some of the men put to work. They
were put at work at parts of the city 80
far distant from their wards that they
are obliged to pay car fare to and from
their work, which makes hole in their
pay.

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
It Mains a Little Boy Living at Santa

It Mains a Little Boy Living at Santa
Anita.
Pomona Progress: The carelessness
OF people with so powerfully deadly an
article as dynamite in any form is in
applicable. Another boy has been
crippled for life by someone's thought
lessness. A party OF miners who had
been prospecting for mines up in the
mountains stopped at ranch home of
family named Getman in the foot
hills near Santa Anita, northwest OF
Pomona, last week, and left basket of
their specimens of ore and trappings at
the house, while the men went to Los
Angeles for a few days.
After the men had gone the children
in the family were curious enough to
look through the basket and its con-
tents. They came across some tin and
lead things that looked to them like
ointment or salve boxes. The mother
thought nothing of the tin affairs and
went about her work. The 9year-
old boy, among the children
WAS anxious to remove the
cover that was apparently cemented to
box. de went out in the yard, and
while the little tots stood about him,
attempted to pry off the lid with wire.
In second there came an explosion !;
the boy WAS thrown upon his back with
bleeding hands in the air, and his com
panions were knocked fiat upon the
ground. Nothing remained OF the little
tin box.
1t was found that the boy had had
three fingers blown away, one thumb
torn to pieces and the palms of his
hands ripped to shreds. The other
children escaped with severe shocks.
AS soon as possible the little fellow was
taken to doctor. miles away, where
one hand was amputated and a good
part OF the other hand cut away.
The little tin boxes proved to be dyna-
mite cartridges for the use of men who
wish to blow rock to pieces, and for
other blasting purposes. 1t is unlikely
that the men who left the basket at the
home of the Getmans will ever go back
for it. They are unknown.

A Band OF Them RoRming the Mojave

Bakersfield Californian: On the Mo-
jave desert, in the vicinity Of Coyote
Holes, there is drove Of wild horses,
three stations and gelding, which
have roamed the country for several
years. They are supposed once to have
belonged to J.. N. Roberts, but they
now are as wild as any unframed steeds
could possibly be. The leader is mag
nifcent chestnut stallion and many un-
successful attempts have been made to
capture him. Once he was decoyed into
S. F. Raymond's corral. which lie sur
rounded by a massive stone wall seven
feet high and broad in proportion. But
when the vacqueos started in to rope
him he walked close to the fence, reared,
and with one magnificent jump cleared
the bounds and WAS off into the desert
with long, even strides, quickly leaving
his pursuers tar behind. AS the band is
getting to be somewhat Of q nuisance
they have been shot at several times.
but they bear charmed life, and only

A ssnsible Word.

Chicago Post: Had daughter to
train" said woman of the world" one
accomplishment above all should be
taught her--to make herself agreeable
without descending to make fun ofother
people. Much, if not most, of the fun
current among young folks consists in
picking others to pieces. Bright people
are given to using their wit very freely
upon others who have the misfortune to
come near them. Women especially
regard the world outside their inn
mediate circle as created to afford them
amusement not of the most amiable kind.
They are not discriminating enough to
see what underlies and offsets the pecul-
iarity which provokes their fun. The
addressed, hurried woman is commonly
trying to carry affairs whose burdens
her critics would shirk ehamelessly.
No wonder ii the brave spirit steps
awkwaidly and unbecomingly under the
load she can but just bear without
breaking. Those who bait their fun
ON her must laugh and laugh again un-
heeding."

HE SHUOLD HAVE STRUCK
OFFICERS MUST STRIKE AFTER
EIGHT HOURS WORK.
Horny Glaze, However, Did Not
Strike, aud He Will Get No
Pay for His Extra Work
I'm Jail.

Judge Shaw rendered decision yes
terday in the case of Henry Glaze VS..
the city of Los Angeles. The opinion is
as follows:
The plaintiff was appointed as a pa
trolman of the city of Los Angeles. at a
salary fixed by ordinance of $40 per
month. He served eight months and
ten days, and drew the fixed salary at
the end OF each month. He was as
signed TO duty as city jailer, and during
the whole of the time of his service was
required to be on duty IL hours each
day, but did not refuse to do so, nor did
he, while he continued to serve, present
any claim for extra time.
After he was discharged and had been
paid the salary fixed by ordinance, he
presented claim for the extra time of
four hours each day during the entire
period of service. The claim was re-
jscted by the city council. and he now
brings this action to recover the value
OF the extra services.
Section 3z45 of the political code de-
clarea that eight hours labor constitutes
legal days work in all cases where tine
same is performed by the authority of
any municipal corporation, and that q
stipulation to that effect must be made
part of all contracts to which munic-
ipal corporation is party.
1t has been held that the law itself 10
part of the contract and that where
such clause is omitted the contract
should nevertheless be read as if it
was specially stated therein that eight
hours labor should be considered day g
work.
1t is evident therefore that the plain
tiff was not compelled to serve for IL
hours each day; that after he had been
on duty eight hours day he might have
refused to remain longer until the next
day and the city would have had no
complaint under the contract.
The plaintiff claims that the case is a
simple one where one party has per-
formed labor at the request of another
without special contract as to wages, and
that the law viii imply promise TO pay
as wages the reasonable value of the SER
vices. Ii the case were as first stated
there would be no doubt of the defen-
dant's liability; but do not think the
evidence justifies the conclusion claimed
by the plaintiff.
After reviewing other legal points in
the case, Judge Shaw ordered findings
and judgment for the defendant.

LENNON HAS HIS TURN.
RICHARDS ON TRIAL FOR ATTEMPT
COMMIT MURDER.
The Story of Bold Hold Up.
Richards Is Arrested but His
Partner, Thomas Brooks,
Escapes.

s. P. Richards appeared for trial yes
terdsy in Judge Smiths court upon a
charge of attempting to murder Police
Officer Lennon.
On the 21st of September laet John
Hamer. who keeps grocery store upon
the corner of Fifteenth and Main streets,
WAS sitting in his store with two friends,
when two masked men entered, and,
presenting revolvers at the proprietor
and his friends, ordered them to hold
up their hands.
The order being obeyed, the smaller of
the two men told Hamer to open the
till, after which the same man alb
stracted the contents-nearly 500.
They then made for the door, and had
just got outside, when they met Officer
Lennon, who had been warned of the
robbery.
The smaller man opened fire on the
officer at about Eve feet distance.
Lennon returned the fire, and was
coon struck by bullet in the thigh.
The officer, however, kept up the fire
until the men disappeared down Fiji
teenth street.
After long search Detective Marsh
arrested Richards as one OF the two
burglars. A second man, suspected to
be his accomplish, named Brooks,
escaped to San Francisco, where he was
followed by Detective Goodman, who,
however, lost his man.
Yesterday Mr.. and Mrs. Hamer and
Officer Lennon testified to the above
facts, the case not being concluded at
the rising of the court and going over
until this morning.

San Diego Sun; Some four years ago
the marriage here at Hotel Brewster OF
Senator Allen Thurmsn's only daug hter,
Mary Thurman Doles, to j. T. Clifford OF
this place, led to a series OF sensations.
She had resided here quietly for time,
and but few days before procured a

and hardly was the second marriage
made public when it developed that a
woman in the east with two children,
who had formerly lived at Coronado.
laid prior claim to Mr.. Clifford. 1t was
held that he had introduced her as his
wife, and to escape bigamy pro-

line, and has since resided in Lower

Tanama Then they were heard of at
Tia Jusna hot springs, where they
camped in tent, and rumor came of
cruelty on his part. Now an action for
divorce has been brought here by Mrs.
Clifford on the ground of cruelty and
failure to provide.
The marriage has caused breach be-
tween Mrs. Clifford and her family,
though she went back to Ohio for her
mothers funeral. Up to recently the
Gitfords had been living in the Mexican
half of Tia Juana, where, it is under
