CHILD SERIOUSLY INJURED
Run Over by Furniture Wagon and Its Thigh
Broken


Mrs. Maria Ramirez, a Mexican wo-
man, came up to the city yesterday
from San Pedro, bringing with her her
child, not quite four years old. As she
was crossing Commercial street about
$3.50 in the afternoon her child Jagged
behind her and was playing in the road.
T. q. Mckee, driving a light delivery
wagon Of the Los Angeles Furniture
company. came along ana saw the
child, and turned his horse to one side
TO avoid running the little thing down.
Just as he did so, however, the baby sud
denly turned and ran directly in front
of his rig, being knocked down and run
over before he could stop his horse al
though he was proceeding at slow
trot.
The child was picked up and, seeing
that it was hurt, Mckee conveyed ii
and the mother to the police station,
where he left his name. DR.. Bryant at
tended TO the baby and found the left
thigh badly broken just above the knee
besides bruises on the face and head
The fracture is a bad one to handle, es-
pecially in an infant. as it will require
the limbs to be stretched by weights
for some weeks. There is a probability
that the child will be crippled for life.
After temporary bandaging the
mother took her child to the county
hospital, where it will be cared for dur
ing convalescence. Mckee claims to
have witnesses who saw the occurrence
and that it was entirely unavoidable
and that he was not to blame.

Quoted. The afternoon is the assembly
period, at which time the popular lee
lures occur Prof. John Comfort Fill
more's lecture on Indian Music was an
interesting incident connected with
yesterdays program. Prof. Fillmore
spoke in part as follows:
INDIAN MUSIC.
The study of the folk songs of our
American aborigines has hardly been
attempted until Miss Alice C. Fletcher
an assistant of Prof. Putnam in the Pea
body Museum of American Archaeology
and Ethnology of Harvard university,
lived among the Omahas from 1850 to
1882 and collected several hundred Of
their songs. These songs were mainly
religious, and many of them were the
staple of important religious ceremon-
les, to the sight and hearing Of which no
white persons We're ever admitted until
Miss Fletcher so gained the confidence
of the Omahas by her philanthropic
services as to be allowed to take part
in them. One of these, the service OF the
Sacred Fellowship Pipes, is a full Choir
al service, lasting four or five hours
every act being sung. The central idea
of it is, Peace on earth, good will to
men, This ceremony was afterward
the commanding influence of Miss
Fletcher. To him she turned over her
entire collection of songs for scientific
study; he went to the Omaha reserva-
ton and heard all of them from Indian
lips and verified all her results. The
lecture was largely devoted to presen-
tatiOn of the music of the ceremony of
the Sacred Fellowship Pipes, but other
songs of the Omahas, religious and So
cial. We're also presented, and compar-
isons were made with the songs of other
American tribes, as we'll as with those
of other races. The lecturer has made
extensive studies of the songs of the
Chinese, Japanese, Malays, Arabs, the
South Sea ISLANDERS etc, as well as Of
the Navaios. Pueblos Tarahumares,
Pawnees. Poncas. Sioux, Kwakints Of
Vancouver Island, EsquimauX, etc.
Some of the Navajo songs he presented
by means of the graphophone, the rest
being given on the piano in his harmon
ized version.
1t is very curious fact that although
the Indians never sing otherwise than
in unison their songs sound so much

HIS SKULL WAS CRACKED
Manuel Carrisoxa, q Mexican Store
Keeper, Hit by q Train
Driving ON Alameda Street, and In Escaping
One Locomotive ls hit by An-
other-The Details

Manuel Carrisoza, an elderly Mexican
who keeps little general store away out
on Alameda street near the Santa Fe
crossing, was struck by an incoming
Southern Pacific train from San Pedro
on Alameda street about 5 o'clock last
night, receiving injuries which may
Gauss his death.
Carrisoza was driving along, the west
side of the street, coming toward the
center of the city, when he espied a
train coming down the outbound; track
toward him. AS he was on the left hand
side of the road and evidently desired to
get on the side furthest away from the
train he started diagonally across the
tracks to reach the right-hand or east
side.
He had not noticed the incoming train
approaching from behind and was struck
by it. His vehicle had nearly cleared the
track and the engine merely hit the hind
wheels. throwing Carrisoza forward out
of the buggy on to his head. The vehicle
was only slightly damaged and the horse
was uninjured, cunning away, but being
captured later on.
The train was stopped. Carrisoza pick
ed up and laid on stretcher, placed in
the DdSSdSe car anu pIou5ut llltO the AT
cade depot, where the patrol wagon met
the train and conveyed the injured man
to the receiving hospital. Dr. Ainsworth
attended him and Gound a severe scalp
wound in the back of the head. also a
fracture of the skulg and probable con-
cussion of the brain. His body was
somewhat bruised, but the only mater
ial injury is to the head
While his wound is serious Carrisoza
may recover, as there is little or no de-
preston of the skull at the point of frac-
ture. simply a crack. His injuries were
dressed and he was put to bed, where
he Is doing as well as can expected. His
wife called later in the evening to see
him and was much affected. Carrisoza
also has a son who is an accomplished
musician and is we'll knowniam in
strumentalists of this city.

A BIG CHINESE BOYCOTT
Progressive Methods OF Merchandising
Don't Go in Chinatown
Causing Trouble Among the 7erchants.
Prices Gone to Smash

Trouble Is brewing in Chinatown, and
it is all over the boycott which has been
declared by the local merchants against
the enterprsing branch of the See Zip
company of San Francisco. which has
been established here and which is de-
moralizing prices all along the line.
The See Zip tong or company is one
of the Chinese six companies of San
Francisco, and in some way got hold of
a bankrupt stock of Chinese goods. This
stock comprises everything generally
carried in Chinese store, canned goods,
rice whisky, clothing shoes, hats, rice nuts
and what not. all imported direct from
the Flowery Kingdom. These goods are
being retailed here at cut prices, ''allee
samee Mclean man." and the local mer
chants have found their stores deserted.
For instance. bag of rice that gen
orally brings s2.1 is sold at S1S5 or 81 80
by the new store. A coat or blouse
that would cost s.. so is sold a t 49, Chinese
starch worth 4.5O per box is quoted at
$3.50. Shoes that ordinarily bring $3.50
are sold for $3.50 and so on. Seeing the
decentralization that was being created
| by these prices the merchants held a
meeting and tried to coerce the manager
of the store into selling a ruling prices.
| lie would r 1t be bluffed.
Finally. all measures failing, it was de-
cided TO institute a boycott and some
time last Sunday night or Monday
morning circulars were posted all over
Chinatown warning all persons that
after the expiration of three days no one
! would be allowed to patronize the See
Yip store A guard of four highbinders
is to be placed at the entrance of the
place on Apablasa street, one squad in
the day, another at night. They are to
see that no one ente-.s to purchase at
any cost. Time will be up on Wednesday
morning and it remains to be seen what
will be the outcome.
Last night the store was crowded with
Celestials taking advantage of the bar
gains offere1 and from appearances the
stock is rapidly diminishing. Whether
enough goods have already been sold by
| today so that hhte place will be closed
and the remainder of the stock shipped
| back to San Francisco, or whether the
manager will attempt to stick it out,
remains to be seen. In this last event
| there is almost certain to be trouble as
| the boycotters comprise the richest
merchants in Chinatown who will stop
| at nothing to shut off the baleful compe-
! tition which is running their business.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. %. - The
weather has been extremely sultry
throughout Southern California to-day.
This seems to have been a sequel to one
OF the heaviest storms ever known on
the desert side of the mountains. Up to
O'Clock this morning rain had fallen
constantly all the way from Victor, on
the line of the Santa Fe Railroad, to the
Colorado River, for a period of more
than twelve hours
Washouts are reported along the
Santa Fe Railroad at many desert sta
tionS.
Owing to these breaks in the track
the overland train due to leave here this
morning has been held here until the
road can be repaired. How long this will
take is impossible to tell, since al
last accounts rain was still falling in
torrents at many places on its line.
This being the rainy season on the
desert, the chances are that more or less
damage has been sustained by the Santa
Fe in New Mexico.
Rainstorms are reported on the Yuma
Division of the Southern Pacific, but nc
serious damage had been reported up to
3 o'clock this evening.

VEAL CURE" FOR SUNBURN
Compilations rlay be Remedied BY
Application of a Outlet.

The cry which rises annually from ev-

sort in the land has this year met with
new response, says the New York
World Pasty lotions of more or less
harmless properties are no longer ad-
yocated as a cure for sunburn. Com

ner suns now find their speediest cure
in veal outlet. The veal cure" as it
is called, has leaped into a popularity
VI hich Indicates that it is more than or
drnarily potent
Butchers at the summer watering
places have ceased to wonder at the
loud demand for veal They know
that when the summer girl returns
from her sea bath, walk or drive her
first thought is for the veal outlet that
shall preserve the delicacy of her COM
pleXion. The proper procedure is to
have the outlets shaved into very thin
slices. These raw slices must then be
carefully laid all over the face and
lightly kept in place by passing tape
or ribbon over them
The result is not becoming, but that is
unimportant. The victim then retires
to a perfectly darkened room and lies
down for al least half an hour When
the veal becomes warm by contact with
the face it should be turned over and
again applied.
When the face has ceased to burn the
veal may be removed and the face
gently washed with elder flower water.
The face should not again be exposed to
the sun the same day and no soap
should be used on it for day or two.
When these precautions are observed
the veal cure is guaranteed to be eff
