UNDER The WHEELS
HORRIBLE END OF LITTLE
CHARLIE LINsKOG
Was Racing With an Electric Car and
Fell in Front of 1.-THE Body
Torn to Pieces

Little Charlie Lingskog, mite of child
about 10 years of age, met horrible death
yesterday afternoon IN East Los Angeles.
He was ground to pieces under an electric
car, with which an instant before, probably
in spirit of boyish fun, he had been try
ing to race.
The accident occurred after o'clock, on
Pasadena avenue, just south of Avenue l9.
Car No. lis had just started on its return
trip to University. From the junction with
DAILY street to Avenue Is there is consider
able of a grade on Pasadena avenue, and the
cars run at a rapid rate OF speed. The child
was riding an old-fashioned safety bicycle
between the middle OF the tracks, going in
the same direction with the car. but being
in advance of it. As the car approached the
bicycle rider Motorman B. Lupton rang the
bell loudly, signaling to Lingskog to turn out
of the way. 1t was said by some bystanders
that the boy had been coasting, his feet be
ing off the pedals. Ii this is correct he did
not have as much control over the bicycle
as though his feet had been working it, or
else he may have become frightened.
The boy turned toward the left, away
from the car, but an instant after swung
to the right. and, to the horror OF Lupton
and the passengers, ran directly in front of
the car He was knocked down. and with
the bicycle was dragged along the ground
fully thirtyfive feet, and then the car mount
ed the poor little body, and, running over it,
left the remains a broken, shapeless mass
with one of the wheels of the unlucky bicycle
twisted and wrapped about him. The child
had been crushed in a frightful manner,
the side of the track, which, together with
other portions of his mangled body, left a
ghastly trail
Police Seargeant McKeag was in the East
Side police station at the time of the acci-
dent, and hearing the cries of the people
who witnessed the tragedy, ran out to see
the body lying on the track and people gath
cred about it, The remains We're removed
to the undertaking rooms of c. 7. Paul and
the coroner notified. The inquest will be
held some time this morning. The affair is
thought to have been an accident. so neither
the motorman nor the conductor were taken
into custody. The dead child lived on Lerdo
street. and his father is John p. Lingskog.

"As evidence that Mr.. Waters was the
leading spirit in the management OF Bear
Valley aIalrs, it should be borne in mind
that ne was about the only member of the
Uoard who made money by the failure and
most OF the members lost very heavily.
shortly afterwards the inevitable crash
came. In February, 1894, judgment was OBJ
tanned in the United States circuit court for
the Southern district of California, in the
case OF James Gilbert Foster VS.. Bear Val

reports and from the decree of the court
Will give some idea of the true condition
OF the affairs of this company that had
short time before paid to its stockholders
$694,O00 i'll dividends and yet claimed to have
on hand a dividend fund of 81 ,05l ,325 as sur
plus earnings, over and above all liabilities.
and leaving its capital intact and untouched.
The receivers report for July 26, 1894,
says:
To complete the plan of the Bear Val
ley Irrigation company and put it in po-
siton to fill its existing water contracts will
require an expenditure of at least 81, ,000, 900
in excess OF the amount required to pay its
Indebtedness. (1he Indebtedness, as found
by the receiver, then exceeded Sl,0OO,00O)
The annual earnings of the company are
SSo,514.S7; the annual liabilities OF the com
pany are Sl32, 900, showing an annual deficit
OF S4l, ,425.l3.

IT LOOKS CROOKED
THE AWARDING OF THE BALLOT
PRINTING CONTRACT
A Claim That the Matter Was the Sub.
iect of a Combination Among
Certain Printers

The contract for the printing OF one hum
dred thousand ballots and fifty thousand
sample ones was awarded to the firm OF
George Rice Il Sons yesterday by the su-
pervisors for the sum of $780,
From what should be reliable source
1t was learned last evening that circum-
stances point very strongly to compact
among certain printers to the end that the
county should be mucted to the amount OF
several hundred dollars. Up to Tuesday
afternoon Clerk Newlin had not received
any bids. and was preparing to see about
having the work done in San Francisco,
when it is asserted that the Rice company
put in a bid, which, however was not
opened but which is said to have been for
$3.50 Some of the printers who were not
in the combine took the matter up and fig
ured that the job could be done for the
following figures, as the state furnishes
the paper for the ballots:

This was the cost of the work. and the

a very nice margin. In some way the COM
bination is said to have got onto the plan
and as there was no bond required, they
withdrew their bid and substituted one
of 1880. They then maneuvered and sue
ceeded in getting the $500 bid of their oppo-
nents withdrawn. So as 1t stands they Will
make $500 profit. How 1t is to be divided Is

A WOMAN'S COLLEGE.

Bryn Mawr College, in Pennsyl-
vania, has within fifteen years become
one of the leading institutions for the
education of women. It has exceptional
advantages in this respect: That it has
had no narrow and conservative mascu-
lin ideas TO contend with, and at once
developed on broad lines. The oppor-
tunities for securing the most liberal
education are abundant. The graduates
of the college return to take special
courses, and there is a class OF wom-
en- growing up who will take leading
places as scientists and instructors.
At recent meeting of the, Graduate
Club, the favorite subject Of study was
the English language and literature.
The women seem to have discovered
in advance OF even educated" men
thai if they become proficient in their
own Language and literature, they have
secured the most substantial results in
return for the time and money spent
in getting an education. One of the
most interesting statements made re-
garding the physical training OF the
young women is, that their average
physical health is better than the aver

It is believed that Jamie Judd was

three component parts. These squirm-
