Black and White Quartet in Fierce

The peaceable neighborhood of New High

their kind.

rious colored woman named Bunk" In

started towards Frey. Woods then grabbed
Wakefield and held him while Frey pro-
ceeded to carve Wakefield with generosity
and vigor. He slashed the white man on
the right side of the head, cutting off a
piece of the ear and making a cash seven
inches in length Officer Craig Invaded the

NEWS OF The RAILWAYS
DESERT HEAT SAID TO HAVE SET
FIRE TO A FREIGHT CAR
A Japanese Who Used Rail for Pill
low and Lost His Head-Change
on the Mojave Stage Line

The railway men down on the desert
swear that the heat of the sun set fire to
box car In a freight train near Indio yes
terday morning. The Thermometer did go
out Of sight In Its markings, and so there
Is no way of contradicting the stories that
the arrivals from the sandy desolation re-
port. 1t seems to be fact, though, that
freight car,,peacefully scorching In the
rays of the sun on a sidetrack at Indio,
broke into flames without any other ap-
parent cause for 1t than the all-pervadiiig
heat. The flames were soon noticed and
the men at the station quickly extinguished
them, and as the car was well wet down
it did not repeat its freak.
A Japanese who happened to be in Mo-
jave one day last week found the place
rather warm and. rather than lodge in a
house, he selected the railway track. He
got in the shade of freight car, which he
thought was safe place, and in true Jap
anese fashion used one of the rails for a
pillow. While he was reposing the yard
men moved the car, with the result that the
mans head was severed from the trunk as
neatly as If 1t had been done by an execu-
toner's ak.
w. H. Davenport, the general agent in
the city for the Union Pacific, has re-
turned from a vacation trip to Wheeler's
hot springs In Ventura county He Is busy
again cutting rates and making things sui
try for the Santa Fe people.
Superintendent Beamer and Chief Of Con-
struction Work N. Hall are in San Diego
preparing the company's wharf for the
use of the steamer line which Is supposed
to begin operations on October LIST. 1t is
said that the N.larf will be virtually re-
built.
The stage line that has heretofore run
between Mojave and Keller has been
changed and now runs from Johannesburg
to Ballarat and Keller, connecting at Jo-
hannesburg with the Santa Fe and Rands-
burg road. This reduces the desert stage
travelling some forty miles and will un-
doubtedly prove very acceptable change
to the public.
