 Ex-Governor Morris died last Thursday at his home in New Haven, from apo plexy. He was found unconscious in his law office in the morning about 10 o'clock and died about at his residence. Luzon Burrett Morris was born in Newton, Ct. !, April 16, 1927, and was a graduate from Yale college in 1854, and earned his way by working as a blacksmith. He was nominated for governor on the democratic ticket three times, in 1888, 1890, and 1892; receivinn plurality for the first two times, but on account of the law requiring majority vote, his competitor, Morgan G. Bulkeley, was chosen by the legisla- ture, The last time, in 1899, he was elected by majority. He leaves a wife, three sons and three daughters.
 THE people of Winsted have got the idea that there is wild man at large in their vicinity. Sunday about 200 men armed themselves and made day of it searching for the object of their fears. The hunt was unsuccessful, although a cave was found that contained bones and other evidence that suggested recent oc. cupancy. Outside the cave the print ot bare feet was noticed, and, as the wild man wears no shoes, or anything else this discovery had some weight. Some of the people think that the wild man is a fake. Others can givea minute descrip tion of his appearance and prowess. The only serious matter that he is charged with, besides soaring people, is stealing chickens.

IT'S WATER THEY WANT
c. c. Groves Views of La Cienega
4, Rancho Contest
He Claims Fraud and Says That the Ranch
Contains More Land Than One Man
Is Allowed to Patent

Still other facts have come to light re-
garding the attempt to secure patent tc
La Cienega Rancho, which do not seem
to bear out the statements of Attorney
George H. Smith published in The Her
aid yesterday.
Speaking on the subject yesterday, C. G.
Grove, the searcher of records, said:
There is good authority for stating
that an organization of the kind men,
toned in The Herald on Thursday has
actually been formed, and that it held a
meeting in this city on last Saturday.
''Mr. Smith spoke of La Cienega Rancho
being located in Kern county, whereas il
is located in the Elizabeth Lake region, in
west, Los Angeles county. The water Of
this lake is the thing the claimants of the
grant were after. 1t is about seventy-five
miles by road north of the city.
The history of the claim for this
rancho disproves the statement that it was
not rejected by the Land Commission and
the Court on the ground of fraud The
papers upon which the claimants before
the Land Commission relied consisted of
pretended application dated January 80,
1916, and decree dated April 81, 1916.
The applicants were Augustin Olvera and
Narcisso Botello, and the application was
made to Governor Pico. But the laws and
regulations required that the application
for grant of land be referred to and APP
proved by the Departmental Assembly be.
fore decree could be made granting the
application by the Governor, and nc
record of such approval was presented to
the Commission in support of the grant,
although the petition alleged that such
approval had been given. The Commits
sion held that there was no proof before il
of the grant, or of the facts necessary tc
establish grant. Olvera was clerk of the
Departmental Assembly and Botello acted
as clerk in Olvera s absence. There is nc
record on the minutes of the Depart.
mental Assembly that this claim was
ever before that body. This fact estab.
fishes the fraudulent character of the
claim. La Cienega embraced twenty
leagues, or IS, 1888 acres. Eleven leagues
were the maximum that could properly
be patented to one claimant. But there
have been patented to Olvera upon his
own personal application 3d. 127 acres, not
to speak of many thousands that were
patented in other names but in which he
was the real party in interest,"

Ten days loss of time on account of
sickness and doctor bill to pay, is any,
thing but pleasant for a man OF family
to contemplate, whether he is laborer,
mechanic, merchant or publisher. James
Q. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia,
Texas, was sick in bed for ten days with
the grip during its prevalence year or
two ago. Later in the season he had a
second attack. He says: 'In the latter
case | used Chamberlain S Cough Remedy
with considerable success, I think, only
being in bed a little over two days. The
second attack am satisfied would have
been equally as bad as the first but for the
use of this remedy" 1t should be borne
in mind that the grip is much the same
as very severe cold and requires pre-
cisely the same treatment. When YOU

HIGH SCHOOL CANE RUSH
Drawn Battle Between the Seniors and
the Other Students

Drawn Battle Between the Seniors and
the Other Students
The pupils of the High School yesterday
witnessed spectacle known in college
vernacular as "cane rush." The senior
class went up the hill and then came
down again." And when they did come
marching over from toward Broadway
brandishing their canes and shouting
their class yell the ire of the other stu
dents was aroused, and they all swore a
solemn vow to thrash the seniors and cap
ture the canes, as the class marched
around the north side of the school build
ing in regular military order.
In measured tread they advanced.
Then for fifteen minutes pandemonium
reigned, Canes and fence pickets were
used by both sides upon heads and backs
alike. Mr.. Turner, the leader of the
enemy, seemed to be everywhere at once
and always with a half dozen seniors
around him. But he was game and more
than once repulsed a crowd of boys who
attacked him.
All went merrily until the gong sounded
calling them once more to their studies.
Then the battle ceased, each side claiming
victory. Every cane was broken but
the seniors still retained parts of them,
so the victory was not complete for either
side.
Several graduates had heard that the
rush was going to take place, and were on
hand to witness the fun. The teachers
seemed to enjoy it as much as any one.
The young ladies occupied every advan-
tageous position to watch the ''horrd,
rough boys" but Notwithstanding their
horror, they could be heard cheering as
each side would obtain temporary vic
tory.
1t is just three years since the last cane
rush was attempted at the High School by
the winter class of 1872. There were only
nine boys in that class, but they made
gallant fight. There are about thirty boys
in this class, and consequently they could
make a better defense.
Though the affair was rough at times,
no one was badly hurt, as everything was
done good humOredlv

Queer Old Boats That San Aim

Interesting Facts About Glass Of Yea.
sells That Are Unpopular at Sea-
They Are the Terrors OF ALI
Small Craft.

The ocean has its tramps as well as
the land. The ocean tramp is, how
ever, of a very different character from
the tramp with whom we are familiar.
Although, like it's namesaze of the
land, it has no fixed place of abode, but
travels about anywhere, it depends for
livelihood upon its own work, instead
of upon the contributions of others.
The ocean tramp is steamship, says
Golden Days. They are SO called from
their willingness to go anywhere, and
take hand in any trade that promises
them profit. Scores of them may be
seen at any shipping port, such as New
York, Philadelphia, Liverpool, London
or Boston. Some of them are large,
some small, some clean, some dirty,
some ugly and some neat and trim.
They vary greatly in appearance.
AS rule, however, these tramps Of
the ocean are wornout hulks, discarded
by the companies who own them. Be-
longing to no regular line or any trade
IN particular, they are sent out to pick
up a cargo wherever they are able to
do so.
Many Of them are utterly unsea-
worthy, and sometimes the boilers are
on the point of explosion, and the ma
chinery in bad repair. Often the power
is inadequate to propel the ship against
great stress Of weather, the steering
gear is apt to jam at some critical mo-
ment, their hull in the last stages of
decay and, in fact, nearly everything
is the matter with them that could be
the matter with a ship.
Yet, in spite of all these diseomforts
and dangers, so long as the vessel
holds together and the craft safely
travels from one port to another, no
one complains except the crew, whose
arrangements are often such that they
cannot leave the ship.
To prevent desertion' care is taken to
ship only married men before the mast,
and these men are given half pay in adj
vance for their families, on condition of
giving bond against desertiOn.
A more uncomfortable and in every
way disagreeable life than that aboard
an ocean tramp cannot well be
imagined. The crews are made up of
mixed races, and their wages vary ac-

AN OLD OCEAN TRAMP.

cording to the vessel and the trade in
which it is engaged.
The average wages may be said to be
as follows: Chief officer, S3s. 80; second
officer, $685. 30; chief engineer, $ee. 10;
second engineer, 5000; carpenter,
1926. 70; steward, 500 90; cooks, $23. II;
boatswain, s19.46; able seamen, SIT. o3;
ordinary seamen, $9.73; fremen, $14.75.
These wages are little better than
those which are paid on other ships, on
account of the extra hazardous risks
taken by the men. The tramp ships
make the most erratic journeys, wan
dering pretty much over the whole
world before returning to the same
port. After carrying a cargo of coal
from Cardiff to one of the West India
islands, it may go to New York, thence
to Antwerp, and may then go to Cape
Town, and from there to Shanghai, go
ing to San Francisco before returning
to the port from which she originally
came.
The operating expenses of the ocean
tramps are very small. The coal con-
sumption is reduced as much as posi-
Bile and the crew is small, while the
other expenses are kept at the lowest
notch practicable.
They are very unpopular at seS, and,
like their nameSalxes on the shore, their
hand is against every one. They are
the terrors of small craft, such as
yachts and fishing smacks, and many a
boat that has been run down in col
1ision biames tramp steamship for
the accident, as the tramps keep poor
lockout, or none at all.
