ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
A Newspaper Man Plugs . Brakeman In
the Leg

tine Leg
Fred p. Hewitt. formerly employed
by the Southern Pacific company as
brakeman, and who has been rooming
at No. 532 Downey avenue, was last
night shot by L. E. Warner, one of the
proprietors Of the East Side News, a
small weekly published at No. 100 North
Truman street, East Los Angeles. 1t is
claimed by the parties most interested
that the shooting was purely accidental,
and as the only witness to the affray
was Mrs Warner the explanation was
considered sufficient by the police au-
thorities and Warner was not held.
1t was about 1880 last evening when
the report of q pistol was heard in the
News office, and those attracted to the
spot found Hewitt bleeding from a
the office Of DR.. Roberts, half block
distant, where 1t NGs found that the
ball had struck the limb from above
and ranged downward. 1t passed
through the fleshy portion of the leg
above the knee and again through the
calf, making four holes, demon
strating that the gun must have pointed
nearly directly downward.
Officer Spencer was quickly at the
scene and arrested Warner, who was
turned over to Sergt. McKeag. The
latter brought him to the central sta
tion and turned over the revolver with
which the shooting was done. 1t ap-
pearing from both Warmers and Hew-
tits statements that the affair was
purely an accident, Warner was re-
leased and returned to the East Side.
Hewitt is not dangerously hurt and will
be all right inside of few days. The
accident was the result of careless
handling of the weapon.
The herald., 1896-04-30

not Mr.. Powers strong point. 1t Is not
surprising that he should calculate a
Central Pacific surplus into a deficit,
when his amazing treatment Of the Pa
cilc railroads debt statement furnished
by the secretary Of the treasury is con-
sidered. Here is the form in which he
states the financial transactions of the
government and the railroads:
The total subsidy bonds advanced were:
Union Psciflc Railway. M2SS,5l2; kansas
Pacific. sesos. 900; total; $ss 5ss. So: Central
rainosd raSe raESss sSta Pasai Tosa
subsidy ,ds sonds md advanced to these compan
ransas The @ Central Y1Sn Psce ra
payments on January /. 1896, fell short Of
snDsdS susd ns about
sum Of 81, N,63s, 1877.
The remaining debts Of the government
in %ansas Psycd 1sss Pscc aa
and Western Pacific, $57, ,681, ,514.
1t might be supposed from this form
Of statement that the roads had repaid
something Of their debts to the govern
ment. The actual state Of affairs may
which Mr. Powers took his figures. The
impression left by the items a. they ap-
pear on the treasury books Is quite diff
ferent from that suggested by Mr.. Pow
ers' Encouragement" The statement
for January 1, 1896, runs:
Principal Of debt owed by the govern
ment by the Pacific railroads, $64. .623, 512.
Interest paid by the United States as
endorser on account of failure of roads
to make payments, $1o5 sos, ,926.S2.
po1tstien 5ntsasst TsRsta r. bp cash. [
sls5s e; leaving balance OF interest DUE s
SO much for the character Of the first
Of Mr.. Powers "repayments." There Is,
however, second class that is more
truly deserving Of the term. The sink
ing fund on JAM LIST showed the follow
ing contributions under the operation of
the Thurman act: Central Pacific, &c.
259,12715; Union Pacific. SIS, ,347, ,429.03;
q total Of $21, 500. .5561S that the law
had succeeded in wrestling from the
companies to set against the $64 ,623, ,512
Of principal and the $76,640, ,592.1S due
for balance Of interest that the govern
ment has had to pay. But the sinking
fund act has been systematically
beaten" and payments under it have
almost ceased.
The rearrangement Of figures by Mr..
Powers was doubtless intended to give
the impression to the unthinking that
the companies had made some honest
effort to repay the great sums advanced
by the government. A glance at the
cold figures of the secretary of the treas
ury is sufficient to dispel any such IL
lusion. The roads have paid nothing
that the most liberal Interpretation Of
law would enable them to avoid.

The spectacle of a horse with crippled
leg suffering for several days for water
and food in the oil region is certainly
not a creditable one to the people of that
part Of the city. It is to be hoped that
the humane officer will be successful
in his efforts to apprehend the owner of
the unfortunate animal and that when
he is caught and convicted the court will
inf1ict the maximum penalty fixed by
law. But with the law relative to the
cruelty to animals in its present shape,
it will be hard to make the punishment
fit the crime"

A very pretty wedding occurred at the
home Of Mrs. Mary c. West yesterday
afternoon, when her daughter, Miss
Lizzette West, was united in marriage
to c. c. Zilles of Pomona. Rev. Smith
ers of the Christian church performed
the ceremony, which was solemnized
under an arch of peppers in the folding
doorway. the green being relieved by
light-shaded roses dotted in the foliage.
The rooms were profusely decorated
with pink and white roses, which were
banked on the mantel and placed to
good advantage in hooks and corners.
Following the ceremony was wedding
lunch which was enjoyed by the most
intimate friends of the contracting par
ties. The bride wore a modish tailor
made gown of dark blue cloth. with
straw hat to match trimmed in clusters
of red poppies a cluster of the same
flowers which formed the hand bouquet
completed the striking costume. Mr..
and Mrs Zilles left last night for a short
trip up the coast, and on their return
will reside at Pomona, and after May
will be at home to their friends.
