Tragedy at Long Beach Yesterday
Mrs. Wright Has Couple of
Teeth Knocked Out

LONG BEACH, Aug. 16-(special
spondence) Considerable excite
ment was created here at noon today
by shooting affray among the colored
population. Several negro families have
occupied cottages this summer or the
corner of Locust and Sixth streets, do
ing washing or whatever work they
could obtain. Among these were the
wife and children of George Wright, a
man employed by Drs Stevens G. Fisher
of Los Angeles. Wright is 81 years old
and his wife not over 30. They have two
children, girl IA and boy 10 years old.
The couple have not lived happily for
the past two years, he being intensely
jealous of her, if reports are correct, not
without cause. Wright came down yes
terday and the pair were overheard
quarrelng on the beach in the after
noon Today, few minutes after II
o'clock, people residing in the neighbor-
hood were aroused by the report of a
pistol, followed by terrific screams.
Prof. Macleod, living across the street,
reached the house first, just after
Wright had shot at his wife and ther
senat bullet through his own head.
They had been quarreling for some lit
tie time, when he fired two shots at her.
The first bullet went through her cheks
taking off small portion of the tongue
and knocking out three teeth. The sec
ond shot missed her ard went through
the window. Wright then fired at his
OWE head shot out an eye, the bullet
;eIt e;J nf tLa hroi
Mrs. Wright will recover, but the mans
case is considered hopeless.
DR.. Stevens telephoned, to have him
sent to Los Angeles on the 4 o'clock
train, which was accordingly done,
1t seems that the shooting was delib
crate, as an obituary in rhyme was
fourd in his coat pocket this Afternoon.
In it he states that he was born i'm Phil
adelphia in 1910. His wife suspected yes
terday that he had a pistol in his possess
sion and had him searched by the dep
uty sheriff, but no firearms were found
on him. Wright Is spoken of as good,
trustworthy fellow and liked by his em-
ployers.
MANNED AND WOUNDED
On arrival in this city the patient was
taken to the county hospital, but little
could be done for him last right. The
bullet has lodged in the brain, making it
practically impossible to probe for it.
His condition is considered,very critical;
in fact the surgeons seem to have no
hope of his recovery. His wife's Wourd
was a comparatively unimportant one,
though her speech will probably be
somewhat impaired.

BROKE HIS ANKLE
A Workman's Unfortunate Accident
on His First Day of Labor

An unfortunate case" of threat
cred destitution came to light yesterday
by means of am accident. M. M. Broth
ers, laboring man, who has been out
of work for several months, yesterday
secured job with the Southern Califor-
MIA Sand and Gravel company, his work
being the running of a gasoline engire.
During the afternoon he attempted to
start the machine, placing his foot on
the flywheel to force it around. The en-
gine started suddenly, his foot caught,
and he was whrled around, both bores
of his leg being broken squarely off at
the ankle. He was taken to the recev-
ing hospital, where DR.. Hagan attend ed
him. 1t was INTENDED that he should be
sent to the county hospital, but he de-
sired to go TO his home a t 264 North Wal
nut street, where his wife and children
are.
The man only possessed $3.50, ard the
chances are that he and his family will
suffer unless they receive aid from some
person mercifully inclined.

A CURIOUS COW DID 1T ALL
The Bees Resented an Intrusion and
Stung Right and Left

Several members of the family of Ben
jamin Odell, prosperous farmer of Yer
planck's Point, are under the care of ply
scians as a result of severe bee stings.
Mrs. Odell, her two daughters and her
little son were each stung in many places
| about the face and head.
The trouble was brought about by a too
curious COW, which, nosing around bee
hive tipped it over to see what it con-
tanned. The bees were not long in letting
her know.
| From the overturned hive they. sailed
| forth In angry swarms, and maddened by
| the stings, the COW rushed wildly about
the field, lowing with pain and swishing
her tail at her vicious little assailants.
Some other COWS ranged near. The bees
attacked them also. and there was more
believing and running about.
| Mr.. Odells big churn dog, Grover, heard
the rumpus and trotted over to the field
| to see what it was all about. The spectacle
of a dozen COWS bereft of all dignity and
apparently engaged in some sort of bo-
vine round dance appealed to Grover,
and he rushed in to take part in the frolic.
He ran around among the excited cows,
who paid no attention to him, and then a
volley of bees struck him and followed
him in his yelping flight to the house. Into
the room where Mrs. Odell and her daugh-
ters were sitting the dog scurried, his
pursuers swarming about him and en-
tangled in his thick, long hair.
Before the dog could be driven out of the
house the bees attacked Mrs Odell and
her children. and inflicted many painful
stings before they could escape from the
insects.
Mr.. Odell is great fancier of bees. and
last spring his stock increased so rapidly
that his surplus of hives was exhausted,
and he2began using. flour barrels 1t was
|one Of these that the COW tipped over

She Will Sue for X-Ray Injury

Thomas Byrnes, the brother-in-law of
Miss Josie Mcdonald, who was badly
burned by Roentgen rays, has placed her
case in the hands of lawyers to bring suit
for the recovery of damages for the in
jurfeS the young woman received. What
course the litigation shall take has not
been decided, nor can it be until Miss Mac
Donald has recovered sufficiently to make
a more complete statement than she has
been able to Miss Macdonald has not
been able to stand questioning or to tell
the details. Her condition is still serious.
Mr.. Byrnes said yesterday afternoon that
DR.. Grswold, the family physician, says
that never in his experience has he seen
such terrible burns. From the top of
Miss MacDonalds head to her waist on the
left side. which was exposed to the X
rays, the skin is completely gone and the
flesh looks as though it had been roas ted.
The victim suffers terrible agony con-
stantly. Although there has been slight
Improvement in her condition, it will be
several months before she recovers. The
fear that the sight of her left eye was
destroyed, appears to have been ground
less, for the swelling has receded slightly
and she can still see. She is still deaf in the
left ear and whether she will regain her
hearing is a matter of conjecture. She had
been suffering intensely with pain in her
left jaw, and she went to Jernigan &
Shields, dentists, who were unable to give
her relief and who took her to the X-ray
studio where two photographs were taken,
with the serious result.
She went to the office first on June 18th.
DR.. Shields told her that her case was not
an uncommon one, and that he had treated
many.-New York Sun.

N TIVE HAWAllANS
Interview Secretary Sherman and Enter Pro-
test Against Annexation.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The delegation
of native Hawaiians, who have been
in Washington for the pasl few days,
called at the state department today
and were admitted to an interview with
Secretary Sherman. The interview last
ed only few minutes. They presented
to the secretary memorial that repre-
sented to be in behalf of 10000 native
Hawallans, protesting against annexa-
ton, or at least soliciting a secret pie
bescite of the Hawaiian population be-
fore such a course was determined upon
by the government of the United States.
Secre, ,ary Sherman treated his visitors
with courtesy, but without making any
promises, said he would lay the petition
before the senate, which body now had
the annexation treaty before it. Accord
ingly he submitted the document to a
member OF the senate committee on for
eign relations
