THE BOY TARGET
1t Certainly Was Not G. W. Long Who
Shot at Him

No one who knows G. w. Long of the
firm of Long e. Whitney of this city could
believe that he was the guilty sportsman
who mistook a boy for wildcat near
Lankershim last Sunday. 1t seems that
the report that the boy, Marvin Gilbert,
who was shot, had identified Mr.. Long
as the shooter, was entirely erroneous.
Mr. Long, at the time the accident oc-
Cured, was eating his lunch two miles
away from the spot at which the boy
was shot. During the day Deputy Sher-
if Andrews came to Mr.. Long and his
companion and asked them to call at
Gilbert's home, which they did The lad
was having the shot extracted from his
shin when they arrived, but after look
ing at Mr.. Long and his friend, posi-
lively declared that neither was the man
who had hunted him. The boy also said
that the guilty man was clean-shaved,
whereas Mr. Long wears muetache.
AS further confederation of Mr.. Longs
innocence-if any were needed-the dep
uty sheriff says that as soon as he no.
ticed Mr. Longs shoes he was convinced
he couldn't be the guilty party, mas
much as they did not at all correspond
with the tracks around the tree.

TAPE GAME RAlDED
FRANKS PLACE rs
CLOSED UP BY OFFICERS
All the Employees About the Estab-
lishment Arrested and Are as
Promptly Bailed Out

The police detectives raided Preacher"
at 100 West Second street yesterday
morning All the employees about the
place were arrested and the furniture
was loaded into the patrol wagon and
hauled up to the police station, where
it will be held as evidence. The arrest
was made under the Interpretation Of
the district attorneys office of city
ordinance which, they hold, places the
tape game in the list of illegal gambling
games. The proprietor of the place
Frank Burch, was arrested several days
ago, but his case has not yet been tried
He gave bail and then continued doing
business at the old stand, declaring that
he would fight the case even to the SUI
preme court.
Yesterday the department decided to
bring matters to a climax by closing up
the esta blshment entirely Detectives
Bradish, Benedict and Hawley called at
Burch's place shortly before noon. The
broom was crowded with customers who
were anxiously watching the fluctua
tions of the fictitious stocks, which are
made up in the office. After watching
the play for a while the officers mingled
with the crowd and invested little on
their own account They then cashed
their tickets in order to secure positive
evidence when the case comes into court
When this had been done Burch and five
CT his employees were placed under ar
rest. Their names are Robinson Morris
Charles Ritter. NJ. J. Gilley, Charles
Spencer and H. Butler. One of the Wis
itors at the place named Joseph E. Smith
was also arrested to be held as a witness
in the case.
The officers took possession of all the
money in the place and also the little
brass case from which the tape is drawn
bearing the quotations They then start
ed off to the police station with their
party, followed by quite a crowd who
had been attracted by the sight. The
men were arraigned and Burch gave bail
for the appearance of all of them
amounting to s340, which represented
500 for himself and $40 each for the
others. 1t is now probable that no fur
Their attempt will be made to run the
game until after the matter is disposed
of in court The specific charge made
was that of conducting an unlawful
game.

j. NJ. Quinn on the History of San
Pedro" No writer in the state is more
thoroughly informed nor more thor
oughly equipped to handle local histori-
cal data than Prof Quinn, and his paper
was of rare interest to the large audi
ence present.
Prof. Quinn said that he had chosen
his subject, Historic San Pedro" first,
because the scenes of the events and in
cidents that he would describe lay in the
immediate vicinity; and secondly, he
wished to show how rich in historical
material the country is, even in local
tiles where it might be supposed there
was but little. There was not a single
habitation at the embarcadero for fifty
years after the settlement of the San
Gabriel valley, and only a warehouse
there at the time of the American &C.
ation-Cabrillo discovered the bay
now known as San Pedro on September
s. 1872 He named it Bahia de Los
Humos-"The Bay of Smokes" or
Smoky Bay-on account of the dense
clouds of smoke covering it.
The smoke was caused by the Indiars
burning the dry grass of the plains TO
drive out the rabbits and other small
game. Viscaino visited the bay in No
vember, 1902. He named it the Ensen-
ada de San Andres. Later on Cabrera
named it Sar, Pedro, not from st. Peter,
the apostle, but St. Peter, bishop of
AleXandr who was martyred in the
third century. His day in the calendar
is November &c, the day Viscaino an
chored in the bay.
The speaker gave an account of
smuggling in early days, and humor-
ously recounted the attempts of some
shipwrecked sailors to ride bucking
mustangs The sailor would mount the
upper deck of the mustang-the craft
would give lurch to port. then to star
board, the prov would dip toward China,
the rudder end pop toward the moon.
and the sailor would go head foremost
over the bows.
The speaker gave several legends to
account for the gruesome name of
Deadman's Island, and regretted that
translatir.g fiend had changed the po
etical Spanish name, Isla de Los Muer-
tos-"The Isle Of the Dead"-to the
harsh sounding Dead Mans Island" "
He described the launching of the first
ship built in Southern California, and
gave a brief account of the military OPP
erations of Stockton and the battle OF
Dominguez rapcho.
The lecture was interspersed with in
cidents, events and anecdotes both HUI
morous and pathetic. The speaker
closed with a brilliant peroration, in
which he gave Huntington rap and
Alger a punch in the ribs for his neg
lect of his duty.
EVENING LECTURE
The lecture of the evening was deliv-
cred by Professor Edward Page Gas
ton, formerly a member of the Ameri-
can legation in old Mexico, which coun-
try he took as his subject.

Nearly All the Offices Filled,

had another large audience when they
assembled on Monday evening. AS the
meeting was called to complete the or
ganization of the body, the first business
taken up was the selection of secre-
tary. Solicitor Carr, having previously
decided that the council could appoint a
temporary secretary until such time as
they wished to vote on permanent one,
and that the other appointments could
be taken up il the council so desired,
the suggestion was acted upon, as it
seemed to be understood that the Buck
ley-Shovln deadlock could not be
broken at that meeting. Mr.. Carr was
chosen temporary secretary.
The first office to be filled was treas
urer. John Shigo and Joseph Neubur-
ger, the retiring councilmen, were
nominated. The former won on the
first ballot by the following vote:
For Shigo-Rutter, Meehan, Zemany,
Miller.
For Neuburger-Davis, Mulhearn.
The candiGates for street commissioner
were Bernard Boyle, William jenkins
and Condy Furey. The first ballot re-
suited:
For Boyle-Moehan, Mulhearn, Rut-
ter and Zemany.
For Jenklns-Davis.
For Furey-Miler.
John NJ. Carr, Esq, was chosen bor-
ough solicitor without opposition.
The candidates for surveyor were
named next, Richard Kelly and Frank
Dever being the applicants. On the
third ballot the vote was:
For Keily-Dayis, Meehan, Rutter,
Zemany.
For Dever-Miller, Mulhearn.
There were two candidates named for
ianitor Hugh Boyle and John M.
Powell. Three ballots were required,
the last resulting as follows:
For Boyle-Me chan, Mulhearn, Miller,
Rutter.
For Powell-Davis, Zemany.

poned until the next meeting. The

anee similar to the one passed at West

fire a shot, placed the squib in the hole
and then went to the foot OF the breast.
The shot did no go off, and McCue took
the charge from the hole and prepared
to fire another shot. The second squib
was also very slow in lighting, and Me-
Cue ascended to the face to see what was
the matter. AS he was climbing the

of five colored men and two women, who
boarding shanty on the Wilkesbarre
mountain with dynamite, killing four
men, wounding eight and getting for
their spoil about 500 in cash and some
old clothes.
Large rewards were offered by the
authorities for the arrest of the perpe-
traitors of the crime, but it was not until
June, 1895, that Frank Shaffer, one Of
the gang, made a confession, duplicating
as principals Nelson Miller, Jim Miller,
Sarah Miller and Hester Bruce, and as
accessories George Jordan and John
Bird, who were paid to keep quiet.
Schaffer testified that enough dyna-
mite had been placed under the building
to have killed the sixty occupants. He
said that he was merely witness OF
the crime, and that the women partici-
pated in the actual work of dynamiters.
This testimony, in September, 1895, con
victed Nelse Miller, the first one tried,
and then Shaffer, despite his confession,
was found guilty in the first degree
His case is now before the Board of
Pardons. The others have not been
tried.
Since his conviction Miller has been i'll
through worriment over his fate. On
January 13, he was sent to the hospital
and on Saturday he was taken back to
his cell in the Jail, apparently well.
Later, however, he complained of pain

minutes afterward An autopsy was
held and a large blood clot discovered in
the heart
