near bridge No. on the road to Linda
Vista. Ernest Hewitt and the two
Griffin boys were chopping wood for
Mr.. Young, and in trying to burn some
brush they lost control of the fire. When
they saw that they could not check it
in any other way they made hole with
: pick in the water company's pipe and
carried the water in buckets, but the
flames spread to the bridge before they
could be stopped, and the structure had
q narrow escape. Some wood belonging
to Mr.. Young was destroyed. This fire
Is largely responsible for the intense
heat of the day. At o'clock the fire had
receded and burned back east Of the
arroyo, so that there Is little danger
to this side.

s. Patton would speak at the next meet

The first speaker was Mr.. c. ]. Willett,

war left the great national debt. Re-
publicans thought the capitalists were
to be looked to for help. The Democrats
put the common people on level with
the capitalists, and that the debt should
be paid in coin and not in bonds.
The only crime Is party prejudice.
What is wanted is conscience in voting.

duced and said that he had thrown off
allegiance to the Republican party. The
speaker is a member of a silver Repub-
1ican club of 1000 in Los Angeles county
and would not allude to Mr.. McLachlan.

John R. Slater. whose office was de
clared vacant yesterday by Judge
Shaw. states that the matter of his fail
ing to secure bondsman in the place
OF Tillman Hobson was an oversight On
his part. When he was notified that Mr
Hobson wished to retire last April he
supposed that before any definite ac-
tion was taken he would be notified. He
laid the paper aside and never again
thought of 1t until he learned that his
office as constable was vacant. There
IS little doubt that the necessary bonl
will be secured.
