Croskey striking clear Of the wheels while
James alighted directly in front Of them,
the wheels passing over the right side of
his body. Both men were rendered insensi-
Bile by the fall and the patrol wagon was
sent for and they were removed to the re-
ceiving hospital.
DR.. Hagan was called and attended the
men. James had suffered the most and but
little hope was entertained of his surviv
ing the accident. His right shoulder blade.
right collar bone, three right upper ribs,
right ann below the elbow, and his knee.
had all been broken: in addition his left
shoulder had been terribly bruised. The
left scapula had also been fractured. James
did not regain consciousness for several
hours after the accident and then was too
weak to discuss the occurrence. McCros-
key had not been so badly hurt. He struck
on the left side of his face, skinning the
cheek. His right leg was severely bruised.
1t is possible that the truck wheel might
have passed over that member, as there
was nothing else which could have bruised
his leg in such bad way.
McCroskey could give but rambling ac-
count of the affair. He said he remembered
having left the depot and riding up Third
street and then turning down little side
street, but beyond this he knew nothing.
He could not explain clearly whether he
had been seated with James or elsewhere
on the truck. McCroskey was wrong in
his supposition that they had gone up Third
street, for 1t was Second street. He has
not been here In the city for long time,
he claimed, SO this or some other cause
might have been the reason for his inco-
herent talk.
James mother resides at s31 Third street,
and she visited him at the receiving hos
pital, as did other friends. He was unable
to recognize any of them. James is mar
ried man and has two children but has not
been living with his family for some time
past.

BODY BADLY CRUSHED
PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT
TO ALBERT JAMES
He Fell Of a Truck and the Heavy
Wheels Of the Vehicle Passed
Over Him

What is likely to prove fatal accident
occurred yesterday afternoon shortly be-
fore o'clock on Rose street near Second.
Two employees of Zuber Brothers Truck
company were thrown to the ground and
one of them was run over by the heavily
laden vehicle and his body terribly crushed.
Albert James and Robert McCroskey are
the names of the injured men.
James was driving the team attached to
one of the heaviest kind of trucks. A big
load of wagons had been placed on the
truck at the Santa Fe depot and, accompa-
MED by McCroskey, James started to drive
up Second street. For some reason the
team took fright possibly at a passing
electric car, and tried to run. 1t was prac-
tically impossible for them to have Travelled
very fast, however for the reason that the
combined weight Of the truck and the load
could not have been less than 5000 pounds.
The team turned down Rose street, and
whether the jolt over the crossing or some
other obstruction In the street caused the
men to fly off the seat is rot known, but
in any event both fell to the ground. Nc

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-There was
ness the performance of Rice's 1892"
burlesque that is supposed to have refer
ence to the discovery of America by Co.
lumbus, who is introduced as character
in the piece, and also Ferdinand and Isa-
bella. The usual absurdities are inter-
weaved, and vast number OF antique
jokes which have been stolen from the
vaudevillists, or vice versa, are fired off
but there has been no attempt to introduce
anything in the way of an up-to-date, pa
triotic alusion such as might have
brought down the house. If the managers
Of the show had been wide awake enough
to think of it. Not even In the inevitable
topical song was there any advantage
taken of the opportunity clearly offered in
a variety performance to make something
out of the Spanish-American crisis.
But passing over this omission, the sew
enty advertised people of the company, half
of whom had been apparently left on the
road, went through the familiar turns
whose newness it would not be fair to say
is best described in the date title of the
piece. The quartet did the best work of
the evening, but even this was Unbalanced,
the bass being entirely too strong for the
rest of the men. 1t was an excellent voice,
that of the bass, and ought to have been
heard in solo. The same remark may be
made of the tenor.
AS witty burlesque, "1492" has rather
outlived it's usefulness, and it is today clas-
sified among those entertainments. the
principal object of which is to display the
feminine form in it's luxuriance of contour;
in fact, it has the name and style of a
'leg show among the frequenters of the
theater who pretend to be posted upon the
different grades of theatrical performances
Viewed simply in this connection, there is a
possibility that good judges may pronounce
| it satisfactory. The applause was not al
all offensive last night, but it may be that
the audience was feeling satisfaction that
did not find it's best expression in sounds
of greeting. Certainly there is nothing ir
the language of the piece to bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of the mos,
ingenious. The costumes are pretty, and
the scenery, particularly the advertising
part of it, is striking to say the least. The
final performance takes place tonight.

A COMPLETE WRECK
Coal Oil Does Six Hundred Dollars
Worth Of Damage

An alarm from box 21S at o'clock last
night called out the fire department to a
fire in three-room cottage at 1919 Darwin
street, occupied by Mrs. ]. w. Smith. When
the flremen arrived the cottage was envel-
oped in flames and the efforts of the de-
partment were devoted toward saving tSe
surrounding houses which were in immi-
nent danger of being destroyed The fire
was only extingulshed after both the house
and its contents had become a complete
wreck.
The blaze is thought to have started from
coal oil lamp which was supposed to
have been extinguished by Mrs. Smith be-
fore she left the house. The damage, which
is estimated to be 5000. is only partly COW
cred by insurance.

Detective Sergt. Price returned yesterday
afternoon from Sacramento. where he had
been granted extradition papers by Gov
ernor Budd for the return of DIR. w. e.
Forest to New York to answer to charge
of grand larceny. ]. F. Waterman was in
Sacramento to oppose the granting of the
extradition papers, and cited a number of
cases to the governor for the purpose Of
inducing him to refuse the papers, but this
had no effect apparently. 1t is understood
that the attorneys will try to effect the re-
lease of DR.. Forest today by means of ha-
beas corpus proceedings. The examination
is set for o'clock this morning before JUS

people their first authentic news from the

people their first authentic news from the
Capital City.
The bulletin announcing the introduction
by Senator Rawlins of Utah of joint
resolution recognizing the independence OF
Cuba and declaring war against Spain was
received by the crowd with universal sat-
isfaction, and strong language was freely
INDUCED in regarding President McKinley's
policy of temportzing. 1t Is very evident
from the uttered expressions that anything
short of an immediate declaration of war
would be vigorously condemned
All local interests were for the time being
forgotten in the eagerness for the news
contained in the latest dispatches bearing
on the present national crisis
Humanity in all its phases and conditions
set aside party and social prejudices and
eagerly discussed the constantly recurring
developments as set forth from time to
time.
No distinction was here made between
man and man; all were for the time being
united in one common brotherhood, with
but one interest, and that the Americans
nearest and dearest, the integrity of his
country and the honor of "Od Glory"
All recognized that the nations honor was
at stake, and that the hour was drawing
near when it would either proclaim to the
world its intention to stand by the cause of
human liberty and to rebuke an outrage to
it's flag, or acknowledge its inability to back
up its pretensions and enforce its demands.
Excitement all day was at fever heat
and grew in intensity with every fresh dis
patch bearing on the all-absorbing topic
of war. Extra editions of The Herald were
issued at a. m. and again at 11:30, contain
ing the full Associated Press reports up to
that time. The business office on Broad
way at the time of their appearance pre-
scented a. novel scene. the entrance being
damned with a mass Of humanity that ex-
tended far down the sidewalk and out into
the street beyond the center-newSDoys
and citizens intermingled in a wild and
eager scramble to obtain the latest de-
tailed news. Within few minutes of it's
issue every copy of The Herald had been
taken and thousands were disappointed.
Papers were passed around in the crowd
from one Individual to another, until from
the handling the printing would become
almost illegible.
At times during the day traffic was great
ly INSTRUCTED, but no effort was made to
clear the way, as all were so interested as
to subordinate ordinary duties to the one
engrossing, momentous topic. During the
present crisis The Herald will be found
constantly to the front, giving the news as
fast as it is made. not only in bulletin
form, but in the shape of extra editions
whenever warranted.

FORTY DOLLARS
Or Forty Days for Stealing Forty
Chickens


J. T. Thomas was tried yesterday after
noon before Justice Sexton of Ballona
township on a charge Of stealing some
chickens from one w. E. Graves on the
23d of this month He was sentnced to pay
fine of $40 or the alternative Of forty days
Imprisonment in the county Jail. Owing
to necessity he chose the latter. The case
presented some peculiar features, mas
much as the evidence against the chicken
fancIer was very slight, although there
appeared to be no doubt of his guilt. The
prisoner had pleaded not guilty on his ar
ragnment and demanded a jury trial.
Deputy District Attorney Willis conducted
the prosecution, the result of which is
highly gratifying to the residents of that
section who have strongly marked aver
sion to surprise parties of chicken
stealing nature, such as have been grow
ing more efrquent every day. Thomas will
be brought to the county Jail today.

A Problem In Mute eyoyemaking,

Paul Milliken, who is quite an expert
In the language of deaf mutes, says
that one morning last week he was
when he became interested in discus
sion between two mutes.
Say, want your advice" said one

gans.
Il shall be happy to oblige you."
said the other.
Are you up on the tricks of wo-
men?" inquired the first one.
The second man modestly admitted
that he knew something Of the gentler
sex, although he disclaimed being an
oracle.
We'll" resumed the one who wanted
advice, you know, 1 am In love with
Mabel. That pretty little blonde, you
know. At last made up my mind to
propose to her. Last night l made
the attempt"
And she turned you DOWN." eagerly
inquired his friend, his hands trem-
bling so with excitement that he slut
tered badly.
THAT is what I am coming to-" said
the first. Il don't know whether she
did or not. You see, was somewhat
embarrassed, and the words seemed to
stick on my hands. And there she
sat, as demure as dove. Finally, my
fingers Glove together, and l could not
say word. Then Mabel got up and
turned the gas down"
"Well?"
We'll, what is bothering me Is this.
Did she do that to encourage me and
relieve my embarrassment, OF did she
do 1t so we could not see to talk in the
dark, and so stop my proposal?"
