forty or fifty Of the prominent physi-

monthly at Jerry Illich's restaurant, and
the literary and social features are pre-
ceded by dinner served in Illich's best
style. The object of the club Is to bring
the physicians together and enable them
to become better acquainted with each
other.
To avoid the usual idle conversation,
characteristic Of purely social organiza-
tions. one or more papers are read on
subjects Of interest to the members. The
paper at the meeting last evening was
read by DR.. Granville MacGowan, enti-
tied, Sewage and Sewerage" Instead
of treating on hygiene as the subject in

FELL THREE STORIES
Dropped Out Of a Window Upon His

story window ir. the old Sisters orphan
asylum, on Alameda, near Macy street.
This building is at present unoccupied

Logan was in the building yesterday
afternoon, drinking with some compan-
ions. He was sitting in a window in
the third story, when he suddenly top
pled and fell backward to the ground,
striking on the right side of his head.
He received a terrible blow, and the
blood began to ooze from his nose and
cars. Word was sent to the police sta
ton and the patrol wagon was sent
down, bringing the man to the police
station. An examination showed that
Logan had received fractured skull

ideas that were entirely difkerent from

In anything but q happy and harmoni-

Still another theory that has been ad-

been the cause OF the tragedy.
HIS FORMER WIFE
1t seems that Mr.. Herald, while resid-
ing In Texas, many years ago. married
a woman of high social attainments who
enjoyed gay society ana whose disposi-
tion was altogether different from that
OF her husband. They lived together but
a short time and a divorce suit followed.
He came west and located in Ventura
county, and by hard work and persever-
arce soon acquired large amount OF
land which today Is said to be worth
almost 81. 100000. His home place consists
of 5000 acres which is highly improved.
being planted to beans, alfalfa. olives
and walnuts. Those who have visited his
ranch declare 1t to be the finest and beet
kept in California.
A SECOND MARRIAGE
About ten years ago Herald was uni
ted in marriage to Miss Harris, and as
a result of their union two bright chill
dren have been born. Upon hearing Of
his second venture in matrimony the
fcrmer wife Immediately came to Sat-
icoy from Texas, and It Is said, as re-
suit of her visit. she secured check
from Mr.. Herald for $20,000 not, how
ever, until after stormy interview oc-
Cured between them. The present Mrs.
Herald heard Of the transaction and
shortly afterwards notified the former
wife that If she was ever seen in Ventura
county again 1t would result disastrous
ly to her. But 1t is thought by this time
the $4,000 has vanished and recently
more has been demanded. This would
ultimately make life burden to Mr..
Herald and many attribute this as the
direct cause Of his rash act.
SEEN IN LOS ANGELES
There is report to the effect that the
woman who was Herrald's first wife
Is at present stopping in this city under
an assumed name and that she has been
holding private consultations daily dur
ing the past week with we'll known law
firm, but just for what purpose is not
known. Every effort possible has been
made to locate her, but thus far all at
tempts have proved futile. 1t Is also
said that two detectives accompany her.
The object of her secret mission to
Los Angeles will probably be made pub

show that there will be some sensational

Cutoff Between FL Paso and 4lv-
ofacials at the Scene

That the Southern Pacific company
is at present quietly engineering . deal
in Southern California which is Of great
Importance from more than one point
of view is indicated by recent moves
which have been made by officials Of the
road Several nights ago the foreman
of Grant Bros. contractors, of this city,
was reused from his couch at the Grand
central hotel and given telegram the
contents of which resulted in the imme-
Giate assembling of all his available
force, and the shipment at once Of them
to- Pomona.
There they are apparently hard ct
work laying ties and rails. with their
prospective point as Chino. From Chino
the line Will touch Riverside within nine
miles of Casa Blanca, a station on the
Southern California road, where the
Southern Pacific has recently purchased
large quarry.
Ut is alleged that this move has been
made with the intention of making
available any probable bids the COM
pany may make towards the construc-
tion of the breakwater at San Pedro
harbor. 1t was stated yesterday that
the Southern Pacific company was lay
ing tracks from the quarry to Casa
Blanca, but confirmation of this could
not be obtained from officials Of the
road. However that may be. the fact
remains that Superintendent Muir and
Assistant Superintendent Prior Of the
Southern Pacific left for Pomona and
the scene of action early yesterday
morning, and It Is believed are using
every endeavor to prosecute the work
Of bringing the product of the quarry
within the reach of their road.
Incidentally. the Southen Pacific has
for several months past been grading
a rcadbed and laying heavy rails be-
tween Ell Casco, on their main line from
this city to Yuma, with the objective
point as Riverside. The reason of their
doing this is obvious when it Ia con-
sidered that the main line of travel Of
the road runs on the northern base of
a range of the Sierra Madre noun
.tains directly through to Redlands. The
only break In this mountain. chain Is
at Ell Casco, and through that break
they are now quietly building a line,
which. when Joined with the one pro-
jected from Riverside through Chino.
will greatly shorten the distance, and
it is alleged make Riverside the OBJ
jective point from which line may be
built into the southern counties of CAL
ifcrnia, with San Diego as a terminus.
