The herald., 1896-10-11

the men have the fires all under control
and their work is practically over. The
only fire that remained last night was
on the north side of Browns peak and
down in the canyon back of it. There
were two branches of men, one under
Mayor Hartwell and another under Pc
ter Steil, and patrol is kept constantly
between them along the line of the fire
II fire breaks out along this line a
signal is given and the men turn their
attention to it until it is put out. The
falling of trees are sources of much dan
ger as they scatter the sparks in the
brush. Mr.. Banbury and eighteen OF
the last party of men who went up, came
down today. Mr.. Banbury returned
again today.
POLITICAL POINTS
The statement made in a morning pa
per that the Bryan club held meeting,
or intended to hold one, on the same
night that Senator Perkins spoke here
to offset the Republican meetings, is
not true. The only meeting that was ad-
vertised for that evening was one engi-
neered by Mr.. Ralph E. Hoyt, single
taXer, who advertised to speak ION the
political situation from an Independent
standpoint" but who did not speak on
that evening. He set his date long be-
fore the date for Senator Perkins was
fixed
While the Americus club is being
| made the subject of SO many glowing
accounts, and the public is asked to be-
lieve that all Pasadena is straight Re-
publican" and sure to vote for Mckinley
it is interesting to note that there are
more Pasadena Republicans enrolled
in the Silver Republican club at Los
Angeles than ever march through the
streets behind the colors of the Ameri-
Gus club.
If fire breaks out aolng this line
The Bryan club is erecting platform
south of the Wooster block, where meet
ings will be held hereafter, last Mon
day evenings meeting having demon
strated that there is no building large
enough to hold the crowds that want to
hear the silver question discussed. The
wigwam was entirely inadequate to
hold the people who wanted to hear M.
+. Taylor, nor was the Bryan club hall
large enough to hold the overflow. Next
Monday evening A. r. Sprague and j.
s. Young will address the people at the
open-air meeting on the vacant lots
south of the Wooster block. and all
who attend may be sure of hearing the
financial question intelligently dis
cussed.
BREvITIES.
Some excitement was created this
afternoon on South Fair Oaks avenue
by what at first looked as though it
would result in serious injury to Chas.
Wilson, the colored eXpressman. His
horse started up suddenly while he was
getting into the wagon, and ran up the
street, with Wilson half-aNy in the
wagon and reaching for the lines. He
made a dash for the curb in front of the
Western Union telegraph Office, where
the whole outfit was overturned. Will
son struck the curb with considerable
force and barely escaped being crushed
by the horse, as the latter fell with all
his weight on the sidewalk. A bicycle
belonging to ]. N. Lancaster was stand
ing at the curb, and the horse planted
his feet into it, then rolled over on it,
making complete wreck. Neither man
nor horse was injured to speak Of and
the accident terminated very fortunate
ly for all but Mr.. Lancaster, who is out
a good wheel.
Some time ago Phillip Palmer died in
this city, and Thomas R. Wilson, his
half brother, came here to accompany
his body to Boise City, Idaho. I. N.
Todd, the station agent Of the Southern
Pacific, gave Wilson full instructions as
to change Of cars, ETC., but, notwith-
standing these instructions, Wilson lost
himself In Los Angeles during the few
minutes stop-over there. Wilson Is no.
where to be found, but the corpse is still
travelling, and the local office receive
many kilograms as to it, corpses not be-
ing allowed on trains without an at
tendant.
