A BROKEN JAW
Joseph Falk Says That He Was As
saulted by a Tramp


Joseph Falk came into the receiving
hospital yesterday afternoon with a
broken jaw and wanted it patched up.
He told an interesting story Of how he
got the injury Falk lives on ranch
at Ballona. He said that tramp came
to his place about week ago and asked
for something to eat He was told that
he could have all the food he wanted If
he was willing to work for it. The fell
low agreed to this, and it was settled
that he should have so cents a day for
his work.
He did not prove satisfactory, and yes
terday Falk told him that he would have
to leave. When they came to settle up
he offered the man SIS, but he would not
accept 1t at first, saying that he had
earned more than that amount. Falk
refused to give him more, and the fellow
left vowing vengeance. The rancher then
started off to this city with load of
hay. On arriving at the corner of Bush
and Washington streets he claims that
he was set upon by the same fellow
whom he had discharged few hours
before His assailant had climbed on to
the wagon unawares and came at him
with big pocket knife, striking him in
the face with blunt side Of 1t and
breaking his jaw. He then jumped down
from the wagon and ran away. Falk
went back to the vicinity of where the
assault was committed, accompanied by
an officer, but was unable to find any
trace Of his assailant.

FREE TO EVERY MAN
The Method of a Great Treat
ment for Weakness of Men
Which Cured Him After Everything
Else Failed

Painful diseases are bad enough, but
when a man is slowly wasting away
with nervous weakness, the mental
forebodings are ten times worse than
the most severe pain. There is no let up
to the mental suffering day or night.
Sleep is almost impossible and under
such a strain men are scarcely respons-
lble for what they do. For years the
writer rolled and tossed on the troubled
sea of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better take
a dose of poison and thus end all his
troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of combi-
nation of medicines that not only COM
pletely restored the general health but
enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to
natural size and vlgor, and he now de-
clares that any man who will take the
trouble to send his name and address
NAV have the method of this wonderful
treatment free. Now, when l say free
I mean absolutely without cost, because
I want every weakened man to get the
benefit of my experience.
/ am not philanthropist, nor do pose
as an enthusiast, but there are thou
sands of men suffering the mental tor
tures of weakened manhood who would
he cured at once could they but get such
remedy as the one that cured me. Do
not try to study out how can afford to
nav the few postage stamps necessary
to mail the information, but send for II,
and learn that there are few things on
earth that although they cost nothing to
get they are worth a fortune to some
men and mean lifetime of happiness
to most of us. Write to Thomas Slater,

BRADBURY RECONCILIATION
Causes Little Surprise, but Johnny's
Allowance May Be Curtailed

The news CT the reconciliation of the
Bradburys caused little surprise to their
friends yesterday, but considerable in
dignation among members of the family
Some Of the latter were seen yesterday
by Herald reporter and declared that
the gallant colonel had distinctly de-
clared over and over again before he left
this city that nothing would induce him
to receive his wife again. 1t was on this
conditions that his mother consented to
pay all his debts, which amounted to
several thousand dollars.
The Bradbury estate is in form OF
trust and there are still five years to
intervene before it Is divided. 1t Is not
at all Impossible that as punishment to
Johnny and to prevent a repetition OF
the tremendous extravaganza he and his
wife have practiced during the past few
years his allowance will be considerab bly,
curtailed, If not cut off,
1t is stated on good authority that the
young couple have spent $4,000 In cold
cash in the past four years.

A JAP.'S DESPONDENCY
Induces Him to Take the Morphine
Route

F. Nagai, Japanese. committed sui
eide yesterday morning by taking a dose
of morphine. Friday night he applied for
lodging at S14 South Los Angeles street.
Although a number of his countrymen
reside at that place, none seemed to
know him, but he paid for a room and
retired early. This morning about 8
o'clock the landlady heard heavy breath
ing from his room, but thought nothing
Of the occurrence, supposing that he
was merely in deep sleep. 1t was not
until few minutes after II o'clock that
it was supposed he was under the infiu-
ence Of some drug. DR.. Hagan was no
titled at 11:15 o'clock and accompanied
by DR.. Hagadorn, hurried to the scene.
They Immediately saw that there was no
hope for the man, but they used the
stomach pump and endeavored to resus-
citate him, but to no avail, as he died in
few minutes. A box of sulphate Of
morphine was discovered in the ROOM
and about one-half of the drug was
missing. The dead man left no word as
to the cause for his suicide, but 1t is sup
posed to have been due to i'll health and
his inability to secure employment. The
remains were removed to the undertake
ing rooms of Kregelo & Bresee, where
the coroner held an inquest last night.

NOW HIS M0THER-IN-LAW
HAS CRAFTILY ESCAPED HIS
VIGILANCE
NOW HIS M0THER-IN-LAW
A Reported Abduction That Was Only
Ruse to Fool an Anx-
ious Husband

A young woman laboring under great
excitement rushed into the police sta
ton yesterday afternoon and reported
that a woman had been abducted on
Spring street, near Franklin, in broad
daylight and in plain sight of half a
dozen people. An officer was detailed
on the case, but found that the facts did
not bear out the abduction story.
The woman who was said to have
been carried away is Mrs. L. M. Roat Of
Battle Creek, Mich, the mother Of Mrs.
De Loss Willard, who left her husband
and home at 214 North Hill street on
July 7th, and has since kept her where
abouts unknown to her husband, who
has made every effort to locate her.
Shortly after her disappearance Mr..
Willard wired his mother-in-law Mrs.
Roat, asking her to come to Los An
geles.
1t has since been learned that the
| mother was already in communication
with her daughter and had learned her
side of the story, which was that she had
left her husband for good cause and
was keeping her whereabouts unknown
to him. 1t was arranged between Mrs.
Roat and her daughter that on arriving
here she was to be met by carriage in
which she should be driven to Mrs.
Wizards stopping place without its To-
cation being disclosed to the husband.
Mrs. Roat arrived yesterday after
noon and was met at the sta ton by Mr..
Wizards mother. The two started up
town together. While walking along
Spring street hack drove up near the
couple and stopped. The driver got out
and stepping up to Mrs. Roat took her
by the arm and helped her into the car
riage, driving rapidly away.
Mrs. Roats companion did not under
stand the arrangement and at once con-
cluded that it was a case of abduction.
She hurried home and was entirely I'M
nerved by the excitement which she had
gone through. Her daughter was hur-
ried off to the police station TO report
the case.
In TIE meantime the arrangement
which was planned between the mother
and her daughter for meeting without
disclosing the wife's whereabouts was
never suspected and some people still
believe that there was real abduction,
but there wasn't.
In the meantime De Loss Willard has
los not only his wife, but his mother-in-
law.

FROM AWAY OFF
THE SAN GABRIEL ELECTRIC
COMPANY
The Final Contracts for Developing
the Water Power Let-Work for
Several Hundred Men

The long distance transmission of cleo
tricity is already solved problem in
these swift modern days, but its practi-
cal application is still something of a
novelty, albeit California is pioneer
and a leader in such things. The plan
to harness the water power of the San
Gabriel river has already been exploited
in the public press, and now it is rapidly
approaching the practical stage.
The San Gabriel Electric company is
composed of well known capitalist and
business men, the majority of whom are
residents of Los Angeles and is headed
by w. G. Kerchoff, vice president of the
First National bank. 1t has secured
rights covering the use for power of the
waters of the San Gabriel river, and be-
fore long will have long distance plant
in full operation for the production of
power and the various forms of electric
ity.
Vice President Balch of the company
was full of interesting information when
Herald reporter called ON him yester-
day afternoon. You may say that we
are progressing rapidly with our enter
prise,'' he said, land to prove it will
mention few details that may be of in
terest
1--WE have let the contracts for the de-
velopment of the water power of the
river, and expect to conserve about $500

ployment to $50 or 300 men and opera
tions will be begun before the first OF

work, We expect to get drop of about
400 feet, inclosed in pipe, SO that you
will readily see that tremendous power
is to be obtained.
Then we are having Fans prepared
for the plants. which will be two in num-
Der, the generating plant at Azusa, and
the distributing plant at Los Angeles,
twenty-five miles away. In the general
ing plant will be the water wheels, gen
orators and their complementary ma
chinery, while at the distributing plant
will be the step-up and step-down trans
formers for the purpose of distributing
the electricity in any desired form, the
regulators, and all things of that kind.
Between the two plants will run dou-
BILE pole line, so that if anything should
happen the other could be used and no
loss of time or kindred troubles would
occur There will also be large storage
battery, the first Of the kind put in use
here.
Everything will be strictly up to dat
The power will be on tap for the entire
twenty-four hours Of the day, and the
light and power will be regulated entire

Marrow Escape Of Hon. G. G. Wright
From Fire

Early Saturday morning the residence
of Hon. c. c. Wright or Soto street,
Boyle Heights, was burned to the
ground, Mr.. Wright barely escaping
with his life.
The house has been closed for the last
ten days, as the family was at the beach
for the summer. Friday night Mr..
Wright remained in the city He was
aroused about 2 a. m. by the smoke from
the fire, and only escaped from his room
on the upper floor by making a rope OF
the bed clothing and letting himself
down in that way. The Boyle Heights
engines arrived too late to save the
house, and could only protect the resi-
dences surrounding The house belonged
to Rev. Chase of Ventura and was fully
insured, being worth about $4,000. The
contents belonged to Mr.. Wright and
were insured for $1,000, which partially
covers the loss. Escaping gas from leak
ing pipes probably caused the cont1a-
grafton.
