next Thursday evening, at which time
officers for the campaign will be elected
and permanent organiza ton effected
Judge r. w. Ready acted as temporary
chairman.
Hon. w. A. Harris Indignantly denias
the suggestion of The Herald's Santa

SOUND MONEY CLUBS.
How Workingmen Are Requested" to
Join Them in Los Angeles City.

That many of the corporations in Los
Angeles county are indirectly coercing
and bulldozing their employees into join
ing sound money Mckinley clubs cannot
be disputed.
Of course it is not probable that any
corporation has instructed the superin-
tendent or officer in charge to 60 di-
rectly to the men and inform them that
unless they join the sound money Nc
Kinley clubs and wear a Mckinley but
ton they will be discharged. Such high
handed outrage would call down upon
the head of the corporation the accumu
lated wrath of an outraged community
Nevertheless indirectly and by sub
terfuge employees of corporations H.
this city have very plainly had 1t inti-
mated to them that it would be wise
stroke of policy for them to join McKin-
ley clubs and to vote for Hannas man.
The statements printed in the Herald
that employees of the Cudahy Packing
company were being 'requested' to join
Mckinley sound money money clubs Is
officially denied by the manager and his
word is good. The gentleman states that
a representative of the Sound Money
league visited the establishment and
with the timekeeper was permitted to
obtain the signatures of such employees
as desired to sign the club roll. He
adds, though, that the management re-
quested no employe to sign shat or anv
other club roll. He further states that
the employees of the Cudahy Packing
company will be allowed to vote for
whoever they may see fit and it will in
no way affect their standing with the
company.

FATALLY GORED BY A BULL
A WeII.Known Rancher Trampled and
Tossed In Air
Rescued in an Unconscious and Prob
ably Dying Condition From the
Raging Animal-A Vicious Beast.

A little after o'clock yesterday after
noon George Weir, a rancher who owns
large place about mile south of the
city limits on Figueroa street, was so
badly gored by a vicious bull that his life
Is despaired of. He now lies in a precari-
Gus condition, with broken collarbone.
his right side laid open. and his lower
limbs almost torn from his body
At the hour named one of the employees
OF the ranch, who was passing along
roadway near the house, noticed the bull.
which was confined in a pasture back
OF the barn, believing and apparently
rolling and tossing piece of blanket or
cloth of some kind. He paid no atten-
tion to the matter, but on walking
around the house toward the barn heard
feeble cries for help coming from the
pasture. Running to where he could
see. he discovered that the beast was
goring a human being.
Assistance was called, and the victim,
who proved to be Mr.. Weir, was res
cued from the infuriated animal. When
carried to the house Mr. Weir was un-
conscious and nearly dead. A team was
hurriedly hitched up and a rapid drive
made to the city, where physician was
secured and taken out to the patient.
Weirs collarbone was shattered; on his
right side the horns of the bull had torn
a terrible cash, and his thighs and limbs
were lacerated fearfully by the hoofs
and horns of the beast. The wounds
were dressed and the patient made as
comfortable as possible, but there Is lit
tie hope of his recovery. When the doc
tor left. Mr.. Weir had not regained con-
sciousness.
Weir is about As years of age and quite
we'll known in this city How he came
to be out in the fields is as yet unknown,
as he has not spoken since Che accident.
The bull is of the Jersey breed and a fine
specimen of it's kind, but of late has been
especially vicious and easily angered. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Weir attempted to
catch the animal to lead it to a stall in
the barn, when 1t attacked him, with
the results stated

SILVER REPUBLICANS
They Organize Their County Central
Committee and Proceed to Business

The county central committee of the
Free Silver Republicans of Los Angeles
county has been organized fully.
At a meeting of the committee, at
which two-thirds Of the twenty-five
members were present, Sutherland
Hutton was elected chairman.
Reports Of additions to the Republic
an silver forces were received from all
parts of the county. In every precinct
there are from five to fifty silver Re-
publicanS who will vote for Bryan and
Barlow and who have openly an
nounced themselves. This calculation
does not take into consideration the
countless hundreds of Republicans who
will do the same thing, but who do not
care to announce themselves.
The county committee desired to Gre
ate an executive committee of ten to
take direct charge of the campaign.
DR.. Boynton was selected to act as
chairman of. this committee and the
present secretary and treasurer of the
Silver Republican club were elected
members of the committee and DIR.
Boynton will select the remaining men,
bers later.
1t has been decided in the, future to
keep the club rooms open every even
ing until election day. They are large
and commOdious and are located at 3lS
West Second street. Here any and
everyone seeking information on the
money question is invited to call and
read the latest papers or pass the even
ing away pleasantly smoking and chat
ting. 81
The work of Secretary Cooper of the
Silver Republican club has become too
much for one man, so an assistant has
been engaged for him in the person of
Mr.. NILS Mr.. COoper's time is entirely
taken up answering a vast volume Of
correspondence and attending to other
matters appertaining to the welfare of
the club. The club Is receiving letters
from all the counties in the sixth con-

tion.. 1t is also the intention to organ
