A SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Two Men Injured and a Horse Killed
in an Accident.


Albert Grover, rancher of Burbank.
drove into the city yesterday morning
with load of tomatoes in light farm
wagon. He sold his produce at the can
merry and was driving along Alameda
street on his way to a lumber yard, when
his horse took fright at passing tain
and ran away. Grover was thrown from
his seat and alighted in the street in a
heap. dazed and bruised, but not seri-
ously injured.
The horse continued his run, and at the
junction of Los Angeles and Alameda
streets knocked down and ran over H
F.. Barton, who resides at 210 Alta street.
Both Barton and Grover were brought
to the receiving hospital, where DIR. Bry-
ant attended them. Grover was but
bruised. while Barton had two ribs on
the left side broken. Both men soon left
for their homes.
After running a short distance beyond
where Barton was knocked down, the
horse stumbled and was thrown, alight-
ing on its head and killing it instantly.
The wagon was demolished, and in GEN
eral the runaway was most disastrous
one.

assailed in this manner. the city ought
to be apprised of such action. Its OFF,
cials ought to know on whose complaint
you have seen fit to do as you have
done.''
When furthcr questioned upon the
matter. the general admitted that he
had conversed with Col. j. H. Wood
ard. He said that the subject was one
of general discussion.
Haven't you discussed this matter
with Stephen H. Mott, or his brother?"
asked the mayor,
"N-no; I scarcely know him. and we
have had no conversation about it,"
Mr.. Nickel, councilman from the First
ward. says that General Hart told him
that the Information upon which he
based his letter to the mayor and coun-
ell was received from s. H. Mott SO il
becomes question of veracity between
Mr.. Nickel and the legal officer of the
state, and, so far as the people of Los
Angeles, who have known MI. Nickel
long and favorably. are concerned, the
burden of proof rests upon the attorney
general.

attorney general had been employed,
and for what, had tha:
&c. H. Libby of No. l74 Edgeware road,
says that the attorney general told an
old acquaintance of his, an attorney of
this city, that he would not interfere
regarding sewer bonds, but that If the
city undertook to issue water bonds he
would prevent it. If there has been no
mistake in the language attributed to
Mr.. Hart, he has,l let in a flood of light

Colonel ]. HI. Woodard was in those
days of 1892 engaged by Colonel Otis of
the Times as confidential right hand adj
wiser of the Times. He was also the
right bower of the City Water company,
and the Times was and is yet in that po-
sition.
A reference to these facts simply goes
to show that the water company pre-
vailed on the highest legal officer in
the state to come to Los Angeles to in
tervene In their behalf. His fee must
have been enormous.
The purpose of the water company is
easily explained. An election had been
called for November 9Th to vote on
bonds to provide water system for the
city. The water company sought to tie
up the sale of sewer bonds by throwing
discredit upon them and thereby pre-
venting anyone from buying them.
By this means they could induce a
postponement of the election on water
bonds. Then If no sale of sewer bonds
had been effected the corporation could
the easier defeat the water bonds before
the people. This they did attempt to do.
Now the water company has demon
strated its power. 1t has shown what it
can do
What, in the way of bribery, perjury

Mind, this is all to be done by three
arbitrators If done at ALL
This Is indeed the time when there is
call for honest, upright, fearless men
for mayor, for councilmen and for city
attorney.
The people must be aroused to the
Importance of the occasion and they
