DIED IN JAIL
William Kelien, an Insane Painter, Expires in
His Cell

| His Cell
Night Jailer Buchanan had his atten-
| ton drawn at about 1880 o'clock last
| night to the prisoners who are confined
| i'll the bottom tank of the county Jail
| Several of them We're tapping On the
| bars of the cage to attract attention,
and announced that one of the inmates
of he tank had just died. Upon investi-
CATION, this was found to be true, and
that William kellen, confined awaiting
transportation to the Highland asylum
for the insane, had PASSED away, lying
in his bunk in the cell.
kellen was painter by trade, 33 years
old, a native OF California, and is said
to have one child living, a boy 10 years
old. He was examined in Judge Shaw S
department of the superior court yeSter-
day afternoon on an insanity complaint
an account of which will be found in
another column, and ordered sent to
Highland for treatment. Kellen board
ed at the Terra Eaute house on First
street, from whence he was taken on the
complaint. j. w. Going and Robert
Anderson of 2361a S. Spring street We're
the witnesses, and stated that kellen
had been attacked first about six weeks
ago with what seemed to be epleptic fits
and delusionS. He imagined that sur
geons We're going to operate upon him,
and he roamed about the house partially
undressed. On April 20 he had severe
attack, and since then had grown rapid
ly weaker. The physicians diagnosed
his disease as arising from a fearful
blood disorder but had hopes of its be-
ing durable.
From the court room Kellen was taken
to the Jail at p. m., and along about
$50 had fearful fit. which lasted some
time. DR.. Murphy from the county hos
pital called and prescribed for him. Be
tween s and 8 p. m. he had another at
tack. which left him utterly exha usted.
He laid quietly after that until of u
sudden the death rattle sounded in his
throat and he expired at 1890. The COR
oner was notified and had the body re-
moved to the rooms of kregelo & Bre-
see, where an inquest will be held to-day
Kellen was a tall. slender man, with
dark beard, and much emaciated by his
sickness. He had on his person when
searched a check for $500, dated April |,
made out to William II. Adams and
signed by S. J. Hads & Co. This was
indorsed by Adams but made payable
to no particular person. The paper was
drawn upon the First National bank of
this city. Deceased has a relative named
Joseph Keilen living in Eureka, Cal.
who has been notified by telegraph of
Kelllen's death.

No Cars on Sen Fernando Street

Editor Herald: On behalf of the busi-
ness men of a section of this city that sell
dom gets into print l would ask why the
Los Angeles Railway company fails to run
its cars upon San Fernando street. For
more than six weeks, with the exception of
a trial car. not wheel has turned over the
rails since the cable was pulled out. Dur
ing the progress of repairs on the viaduct
we possessed our souls with patience, re-
Joicing in the signs of Improvement but
now the viaduct has been completed, the
troly Wire strung these ten days. yet not
sign OF moving car to reward our patient
waiting. We have asked for reasons. but
can get no satisfactory answer from Off
Gals or employees, none of them seeming
to completely understand the failure of the
cars to run. Meanwhile business on San
Fernando street is growing beautifully less
day by day. and merchants are beginning
to get weary of waiting for these slow
movements. If we have got to go through
another four or six weeks siege of depres-
sion. by reason of the cutting off of this
main travelled highway from public use.
there will be some vigorous protests made.
Il you will therefore kindly make this mat
ter public it may become the entering
wedge that will open up either the reason
or the remedy.

Fiesta Suypes stions

Editor Herald Now that suggestions
for next years Fiesta are in order hasten
to suggest that it be made penitentiary
offence to blow tin horn or Fiesta whis-
tie next year except on carnival night
The earsplitting racket which has prevailed
on the business streets for the past week
is nuisance, and certainly no one possess
ing nerves will ever stop at downtown

ance is TO be continued every year.
Again, why could not the tribunes have
been thrown open on Friday (children's
day. to the thousands of parents and little

then struggled in vain to get glimpse of
the procession? The management would
have lost nothing by opening the tribunes,
since they were unoccupied, and such an
action would have been greatly appreciat-
ed by hundreds of weary mothers, to say
nothing of the fathers
Cannot this be managed better next

THE MASTER OF; THE HOUSE

Love came a-knocking at my door
/ flung 1t wide without delay;
He was so coaxing and so gay,
I bade him never leave me more!
Now in my house he's wont to dwell
So great have his eXactions grown
So tyrannous that lisping tone,
I sometimes question, Was it we'll?
See yonder virgin, spare and grave?
Years past-ha, ha.-she locked her
door
And now, If I should tap once more,
Doubt not she'd fly to be my slave!"
For I was strong. and now am weak,
And am bound, who once was free;
I, too. since Love has mastered me-
Though was proud, have grown so meek {!
The rogue-he f1outs me to my face!
Ny sore complaint is food for smiles;
He thinks to pay for all my tolls gss.
With one more boisterous embrace.

Widow Watson had never heard of wo-

she edited and controlled the Courant, and

an oldtime, dutiful wife, surrendered to
him the management of affairs. Never

the Widow Watson was the Courant, and

A Free Harbor

III
ington has been able to control a majority
Of both house and senate committees in
favor of giving the government appropria-
ton for the deep sea harbor to the South
ern Pacific private harbor at Santa Mon
lea. emphasizes the Importance of sparing
no effort for the free harbor until the oues-
ton is fully settled.
Permit me to suggest that each of the
papers advocating the peoples cause, pub
lish coupon petitions for all appropriations
to be given to San Pedro. and urge their
readers to sign and return them at once
to the paper or the Free Harbor league.
This would permit many who could not
be reached by other petitions to cast their
votes in favor of what is SO manifestly for
the public interest.
Though it may seem late for petitions
there is no knowing how long the matter
may be before congress, and an over
whelming expression from the people so
largely interested ought to have some
weight.
1 would suggest the following form of
petition:
TO the Congress of the United States:
We the undersigned, residents of South
ern California, respectfully petition your
for the amounts recommended by the SEN
ate committee for both inner and outer
harbors but both to be located at San
Pedro, in accordance with the recommen-
dations of the government engineers. We
prefer, however that all appropriations
for both such harbors should fail for this
session rather than run any risk that the
deep water harbor should be monopolized
by private corporation, as we believe it
must inevitably be at Santa Monica.
