"AsPHYxIATED" BY BOOZE
Hurry Up Gall for the Patrol Wagon
and What Came Of It

About o'clock yesterday afternoon a
telephone message was received at the
police station that a man had been over
come by gas in the trench on Spring street
between Fourth and Fifth. where a new
gas main is being laid. The patrol wagon
was sent to the place on a run, and the Of
ficers hurriedly placed the unconscious
man on a stretcher and ran their horses to
the receiving hospital. Police Surgeon
Hagan had been summoned, and as soon
as the patient arrived restoratives were
applied, but without result.
For time it was supposed that the
mans condition was serious, but DR.. Ha-
gan soon found that instead of being suf-
focated by coal gas, the victim was dead
drunk. He was given the "hot foot" and
soon recovered consciousness. He gave
his name as M. j. Shacktell. Instead OF
remaining on hospital cot he was locked
up. 1t was learned that some of the la
borers had shown some favors to saloon
keeper on that block in the matter of plac-
ing the earth from the trench away from
his place. and he had given them the run
of his bar. Shacktell imbibed so freely
that he became "asphyxiated."

alleged violation of the Sunday closing or

dismissal of their cases. The district at

STRUCK BY A CAR
William Cisco, an Old Soldier, Is
Knocked Down on First Street

w W444AdM SASCO, I'LL O4u 0OlO1eT, Is
Knocked Down on First Street
William Cisco, an old soldier and an in
mate of the Soldiers home, narrowly es-
capped death under the wheels of an cleo
trio car at 11:15 o'clock last night on First
street near Main. He had been in several
Los Angeles street saloons and was much
the worse for bad liquor. Starting toward
Main street on the south side of First, he
had almost reached the corner when he
started diagonally across First street. In
crossing the street car tracks his cane be-
came fastened in the cable slot and he
stopped to pull it out, not paying attention
to west bound Boyle Heights car which
was rapidly approaching. The motorneer
sounded his gong and then tried to stop
the car. 1t was impossible to do so, how
ever, and the front of the car struck Cisco,
knocking him to the track. Before the
wheels reached him the car was stopped.
The injured man was conveyed to the re-
ceiving hospital, where Police Surgeon
Hagan attended him. His injuries are not
serious and he will be sent to the Soldiers
home this morning.

THIRTY YEARS IN A CHAIR
w. B. Smith Has Not Walked Since the
Civil War

In the recent parade of Union veterans
In this city the man who attracted more
attention than any other in the column was
a bearded old soldier who was unable to
walk and was pushed along in wheel
chair. Since the parade many INQUIRIES
have been made as to who the man was.
He is Private Will B. Smith, formerly a
member of Company X, Fourteenth Illi-
nois volunteer infantry, and now a resident
of Pasadena. He received serious wound
while in service and was taken prisoner
and conveyed to Andersonville, where he
remained a prisoner of war for more than
year. There he became afflicted with
scurvy, and after being exchanged he was
not able to walk. For the past twenty years
his only means of locomotion has been a
war chariot" similar to that in which he
rode in the parade

a SORRY LOT.

Recent events have confirmed the be-
lief that the Cuban insurgents are a
sorry lot-shiftIess, ignorant, coward
" and treacherOus.
When the Spanish general, Pando,
with 1000 troops, was seeking to effect
a iuncUure with the beleagured forces
of General LInares at Santiago thei in
surgent.chief, Garcia, was ordered by
General Shafter to take the 5000 Gu
ban troops under his command and in
tercept Pando. The Cubans marched
bravely away to the point of inter-
ception, but upon the approach of Pan
dos soldiers they turned tail and ske-
daddled as fast as their legs could
carry them.
Upon the return of Garcia and his
men to the American camp the Cuban
soldiers were directed to assist the
American troops in the work of op en-
ing up the road for the transportation
of supplies to the front. They refused,
saying they were soldiers and not la
bOrers.
The matter has been reported to the
war department at Washington, and
the so-called Cuban soldiers have been
placed in a separate camp under police
regulations. They have proven them
selves TO be a lazy and cowardly band
of guerrillas, and can't be depended
upon to renderIany aid to the American
army.
