Those sweet seemed desperadoes,
the cattle rustiing outfit who white
capped Mr.. q ford in the sacramento

themselves in maltreatlng oCher re

They call themselves hai eh II Bap-

that section immediately had 30 use
fer him. So they threatened his life
and made it SO ho5 that he was forced
TO flee for his life.
Now that is fine section of the

they learn of the CHARACTER of the peo-

NO INTEREST.
The Election Passed Off QUIETLY
For No One Seemed to Care.

Citizens took no interest in the cleo
tion held today on the amendments.
La two precincts, the second and third,
there was quite a delay in opening the
polls, because of toe d tficulty in find
ing jud es to serve. OF the regular
Judges, some are out of town, 9th rs
refused TO serve. and The county clerk
mad to do some chasing around to get
things started in these Two precincts.
Tnen citizens could not find the polun Z
places. as the one for the 3rd precinct
generally is on Stanton street between
Texas and ST. Louis street.: and the
ward place has g neIa ally been lOcat-
ed on Overland street near Utah. But
today the polling pace for the ) d was
located at Whites cigar store: and t % at

fourteen votes cast in ward l, three
votes ca Il in WA d ,, twelve IN ward J,
and five in ward +: OUT OF total city
registration of over 800. No one
seemed to care about the election, anu
yet there was much preparation as
though Il full vote was TO be poiled.
The judges in the first precinct mad to

When a HERALD reporter called
around the polling places this after
noon, twenty-eigh hit votes had been cast

Rainmakers in this country have
been apparently inactive this season.
but a drought would have revived in
terest In their plans and theories. In
Europe their experiments have attract
ed more attention. Germany offers q
reward of $500 to any one who can
produce a downpour Of rain at moder-
ate expense 1t is suggested that IN
ventors in this line should also discover
how to stop excessive rains, with re-
sultlng foods. The favorite devices for
rainmaking thus far are cannon ex-
plosives, balloons that burst at an ele-
walton, compressed gases and electric
connections between the clouds and the
earth.

r-ne danger that lies In the

The danger that lies In the IN
fIammable hair washes, and which has
already manifested itself in the death
of two women in the city Of London,
has induced so eminent scientist as
Lord Kelvin to write letter upon the
subject, which was regarded Of enough
Importance to be published ID the Lon
don Times. The washes that have been
responsible for these disasters are com
posed chiefly Of gasoline or benzlne,
and are used by hairdressers to remove
the natural oil that will collect In the
hair of healthful person. During such
cleaning process explosions have fol-
lowed and death has in two notable in
stances resulted. E6rd Kelvin says
that the explosion was due to an cleo
trio spark generated by rubbing or
handling the hair. all persons are IA
miliar with the experiment Of produc-
ing electric sparks by stroking cats
back. and Lord Kelvin holds that the
evaporation of the benzine forms, with
the air, an explosive gas that may be
easily ignited by an electric spark. He
says: Ignition Of vapor of benzine by
electric spark is well known to dyers
in their process for cleaning silks and
other fabrics by boiling in large caul-
drons of liquid benzine. When the
goods are taken out Of the cauldron
and spread out to dry on table explo-
sions have often taken place, and be-
lieve it is quite certain that an electric
spark, caused by some slight friction
between dried and partially dried por
tons of the fabrics, is the incendiary."
Since the absence of a fame or firs
in a room does not insure immunity
from these terrible accidents the ladies
had better resort to the use Of some
other agent for cleaning the hair than
those. the basis Of which is an inflam
mable liquid that generates a gas
easily exploded by an electric spark.
