To safely and permanently maintain
the gold standard requires the remod-

character of the money in the treasury
and in the pockets of the people. 1t is
in a banking system which congests cur

ating a dearth i'll country districts,
which issues a currency which cannot
expand when il ought and can when
there is no necessity. 1t is in compel

paper money by the government, which
cannot regulate its issues to meet the
needs of commerce.

A HOLIDAY TRIP
In Which District Attorney Donnell
Met With Disaster

Yesterday District Attorney Donnell
made his appearance in his office after
very brief vacation trip. In company
with Deputies Willis and James and Mr..
Bird, business man of the city, he
started off last Monday for ten days
fishing in the west fork of the San Ga
briel. Major Donnell is back in his of
flee with his left arm and shoulder
swathed in bandages, and all he has to
show for his trip is one Of the bones Of
his shoulder badly fractured.
The major and his party followed the
trail over Mount Wilson and descended
a very steep trail on the other side into
the west fork of the river, where very
excellent fishing Isl to be had. The hard
est part Of the journey was almost over
and it was determined to take things
easy and just whip the stream at the
rate of about two miles day, and that
would bring them over the twenty-five
miles to Azusa in about ten days. But
man proposes, and, in this case, burros
disposed. The four fishermen were
mounted on burros, and had also with
them two pack animals carrying tent,
camping kit and goodly supply of COM
forts for the inner man. The trail was
very narrow and rocky-in the double
sense-and Willis and James led the
way, Indian file; then followed the pack
burros. with Major Donnell next and
Mr.. Bird bringing up the rear. A bench
Of rock was reached that the burros
would have to climb, and Willis and
James dismounted. Their animals got
up all right, but the pack animals
swerved a little to one side, in order to
get better foothold. The major tried
to pull his brute in, that he might dis
mount, but his mountain nag believed
in keeping close UP to the pack animal
in front, and upon reaching the bench
of rock the burro jumped up all right.
but projecting tree limb lifted the ma
1or from the saddle and he fell upon his
left shoulder on the narrow shelf of rock
That accident brought the fishing ex-
cursion to an end. 1t was discovered
that the bone in the majors shoulder,
where the humerus and clavicle Join.
had been fractured. By most happy
chance James had brought with him
five yards of stount muslin and bottle
of listerine, and what with the majors
army experience and James good horse
sense, the bone was set and the patients
arm and shoulder bandaged up in most
approved good style. Then began the
weary march out of the canyon. a dis
tance of about twenty-four miles. AS
far as the junction of the two forks of
the stream James led the majors burro
and there vehicle known by courtesy
as a stage coach, but in reality four
horse lumber wagon, carried the party
the remaining thirteen miles into Azusa
1t was hard ride on Major Donnell, but
he was out for picnic and he was hav-
ing it with a vengeance.
In Azusa the majors shoulder was
dressed, and he returned to Los Angeles,
quite satisfied to get back in three days
instead of ten, as originally outlined.
Drs. Lindley and Brainerd made an
examination of the broken bone yester-
day, and again dressed and bandaged
it, There is no danger attached to the
injury, but it is infinitely awkward and
at times quite painful.

LEGAL GIBBERISH AGAIN
Brickbat Assault and Its
Punishment

Apropos of some remarks made in this
column day or two ago with regard, to
the habit of attorneys to put most in
volved questions to witnesses and their
apparent inability to couch their Ian
guage in simple form, an attorney has
ventured to enter a protest. He does not
do so. however, by way of justification,
but only on the ground OF palliation.
His contention is that while the law
in all its branches has been changed and
enlarged, its framework has been mould
ed by precedent Probably il the laws
were plainly and concisely set forth.
everyone might be his own lawyer, and
that would never do. Meantime the en-
bryo attorney has to feed. his mind with
material that later on may be utilized
in modified form to tantalize witness
or befog jury. and of which the fol-
lowing old-fashioned law jargon from
one of the year books is a good example :

YOUNG LACY RETURNS
And Gives the Details of His Fathers
Sudden Death

Edward J. Lacy, the third son of the
late William Lacy, who died in Lower
California recently arrived in the city
on Tuesday night, having come direct
from the scene of his fathers death.
1t appears that William Lacy never
reached the mine he went to visit He
felt unwell on the day of the arrival of
the yacht Penelope at the bay of San
Leon de Gonzales, and decided to remain
aboard for that night. In the afternoon
he was seized with an attack of apo
plexy induced by the tremendous heat,
and gradually became unconscious He
breathed his last at about 10 o'clock on
the evening of August 9Th
The sailors of the yacht made a rough
pine coffin, lining it with the cushions of
the boats cabin, and Mr. Lacy was
buried on the top of high hill that over
looks the gulf for miles. Owing to the
law of the Mexican government, 1t is i'm
possible to bring the remains to this
city until some future date. However, a
headboard inscribed with his name and
the date of his death and a railing
around the lonely mound mark the last
resting place of William Lacy.

Only a couple of months ago he was

his right arm. Hardly had the bone knit
when the present accident befell him.
