FIRED UPON AN OFFICER
An Unknown Person Takes Shot at officer
Conlee


Conlec
While Special Officer j. r. Conlee was
walking upon his beat just back Of the
Southern Pacific freight depot on San
Fernando street about 800 yesterday
morning he was fired upon by some one
concealed among the freight cars. The
bullet passed close to the officer. but did
not harm him. Charley Schafer. who
was in his office in the second story of
the freight building heard the report of
the pistol and called to Conlee to know if
he had fired the shot.
Being informed of the trouble Mr..
Schaefer sent the regular night watch
man to assist Officer Conlee in making a
search tor the person who had done the
firing. A thorough investigation reveal
ed nothing. though a close outlook was
kept until after O. clock.
Officer Conlee was prominent in max
ing the arrests OF those who engaged IN
the shooting affair at the Fort saloon
earlier in the night; ana it may be that
this had something to do With the cause
of the attempt upon his life. He has
been on his present beat for moro than a
year, and has no eneml ss in the neigbor-
hood that he knows Of. 1t is barely pos
.sible that some hobo fired the shot, as
the officer drove several OF them from the
yards about midnight.

addressed by Mrs. S. S. Chase of the First

was sung and the opening prayer WIS Of

The subject taken by Mrs. Chase was
Fruit Bearing" and her treatment of it
was the form of Bill le re lding. which
was deeply interesting: Her first sslec-
ton OF scripture was John 5th, verses
to inclusive. Mrs. Chase saiu: God S
purpose in our salvation Is that we should
bear fruit. A thoughtles Christian life is
an impossibilty. Many are apt to think
more of being saved than of being fruit
tul. but God does not separate these
things; to be saved is 10 be fruitful, and
un'ess we bear fruit we cannot be accept
abe to Cod"
2 To show what fruit should be borne by
Christian, Mrs. Chase read Galatians.
5th chapter, verses % and 23; Ephesians.
5th chapter. verse 8, and Philippians. 1st
chapter, verses 8 to IL. inclusive. The
speaker said: Gods idea of fruit bear
ing is Christ likeness The fruit of onr
eye OF the flesh, but the soul who eats OF
it will find itself starved as to the inner
life. Men may Judge by the outward an
pearance, but the Lord searches the heart
and gives to each one according to the
fruit He finds there. The branch cannot
bear fruit OF itself. Try as hard as we
NAV. no fruit is possible except we abide
in Christ. Other things are possible
wonderful works and great benevolence-
but not the fruit of the spirit. This must
come from the indwclling spirit
In closing. Mrs. Chase said: "Why does
God require this fruit bearing OF US? Is it
simply for His glory? The answer is
found in Philippians. 4th chapter and
18th verse: Not because desire gift;
but desire fruit that may abound T.
your account" This is the generous pur.
pose He has for those who will bear fruit
