in Castaic Canyon
The preliminary examination OF Juan
Quen, who some days ago stabbed and
instantly killed desperate character
named Acceda. was held at San Fernando
yesterday before Justice Villegas, and re-
suited in the discharge of Quen. The peo-
pie we're represented by Deputy District
Attorney Williams and the defense by Mr..
Adams. All the parties were Spanish.
There was no evidence against Quen
except his own admission. and he took
the stand and gave his testimony, clear
ing him self, the prosecuting attorney TAX
ing no part. Quen stated that he lived in
Castaic canyon, as did also Acceda, the
man he killed. On the night Of tho kill
ing QLen testified that he was riding up
the canyon, when Acceda. who had been
drinking. came up with him and asked
him to take him home. After some talk
Quen assented. when Acceda got up be-
hind him on his horse. They had not
proceeded far when Acceda began pound
ing him on the back. Quen asked MIN TO
desist, and on his continuing he struck
him with his his quirt. This angered
Acceda and he challenged Quen to dis
mount and fight him, whicn challenge
was accepted. Acceda. who was the more
powerful man. was getting the best of the
fight. when Quen drew his knife and
stabbed him TO the heart, almost severing
that organ. Acceda falling forward on his

GLASS CANNOT QUALIFY
He Cannot Serve as Police Com.

Although Henry Glass Has Not Yet Officially
Resigned There Are Two Vacancies
In the Board

Henry Glass will not serve as police
commissioners, and there are again two
vacancies on the board. In the case OF
julius II. Martin. the directors of the
Southern California Loan association. OF
which he is the secretary, forbade him to
serve.
Glass would. on the other hand, very
much like to become a member of the
board, but he is bookbinder and as the
supplies which he handles are constantly
being purchased by the city, the charter
in the following section will prevent
Henry Glass from gratifying his ambi-
tion:
"No councilman or other officer shall
be interested directly or indirectly in any
contract in which the city is a party. or
made by any officer of the city on behalf
of the city. Any violation OF this sec
tion shall be misdemeanor. and upon
conviction thereof, besides the penalty
that may be imposed by a court of com
petent jurisdiction, the council shall de-
clare the Office vacant. and any person
convicted of a violation of this section
shall be forever disqualified from holding
any Office under this charter. Nor shall
any officer OF the city be a security on
any bond given to the city or to any per-
son for the benefit of the city
AS will be seen, the above is worded so
that the provision of the section cannot
be very easily evaded. Glass consulted
City Attorney Dunn, and the whole sub
iect was very fully inquired into by the
latter. The citv attorney has come to
the conclusion that the section of the
city charter debars Glass from holding
the position to which he was recently
elected by the city council. When Coun-
Gilman James Ashman was a member OF
the board OF education he was awarded q
the lowest bidder by far and the work
was done. The amount involved. some
SIG or $17, is still in the city treasury.
Ashman thought it advisa BILE not to collect
it. because of the possible consequences
in the section of the charter which has
barred Henry Glass from serving the oity
as police com m issioner. ..

The Flsnt and Steel and flashlights and

To the present generation it may seem

there were no lucifer matches. In lieu
thereof there were only long matches or
splints of wood tipped at each end with
melted sulphur, and before the compli-
Gated system of dipping the sulphuret-
ed match in concentrated sulphurio
acid came into use these matches were
kindled first by striking light with
flint and steel and then causing tho
spark to ignite small quantity of tin

composed of partially burned linen.

obtaining light had been in use all

what a shower bath was. that it resem-

Next morning the recluse rose at his

explore carefully what he had never
seen before--a large country house. On
pulling open o door he found himself at
the entrance Of very small circular
apartment, one of those in which house
maids store away old brushes and house
hold articles past their work. In the
