WESTMINSTER.
The Town MestinG---New schOOIhOuse
Voted for Gageville.

Tuesdays town meeting was one Of the
largest meetings here in recent years. The
weather being of the very best the voters
had but little excuse for staying at home.
The election of officers was nearly com
pleted by u o'clock, when a recess was
taken to do justice to an ample dinner pro-
vided by the women in the lower hall.
After dinner the articles of the warrant,
in which large amount OF interest CEN
tered, were taken up, the first being the
repairing of the town house in the west
part Of the town; $3.50 was appropriated
without opposition. The next article, in
relation to building a new schoolhouse at
Gagevile, called forth much discussion,
lasting for more than an hour, large
number OF suggestions and motions being
made, a number of which were rejected.
The final vote was to appropriate 5000 for
a new schoohouse, exclusive of furnish
ings. The matter is left in the hands OF
the school directors and L. C. Richardson
and j. f. Edison as building committee.
The residents of that part of the town have
certainly right to feel highly gratited
over the result.

Elijah GOodell.

An error in regard to the immediate
cause of the death of the late Elijah
GoOdell has been reported in one or more
of the county papers. The report of the
health officer, DR.. Beddy. gives it as cere-
bral hemorrhage, which is the medical
term for what common people know as
shock. IL came to him suddenly the day
before, attended by very severe chill, from
which he partially recovered, so that he
was able to come out to the breakfast table
with help the next morning, but was una
bic to eat. He went back to his bed,
where he lay in a semi-conscious condition
until the afternoon, when he suddenly eX-
pired, the change coming in the momentary
absence of his sister from the room.
He was the son of Dea. Asahel and Mrs.
Elizabeth Ranney Goodell, and was born in
1879 in the residence of his parents, at
that time on the farm now owned by John
Il. Hitchcock. The dwelling was burned
about 10 years ago, and new one has been
erected on the spot. Dea. Goodell removed
from that farm TO the Dea. Ranney place in
the south part of the town, the early home
of Mrs. Goodell, many years ago. Upon
this place his son Elijah and daughter
Gracia, both of whom continued unmar-
ried, have lived down to the present time.
There was another sister, Mary A. MRS.
Cueva), who died in Florida two years ago,
leaving no living child. Thus Miss Gracia
is now the sole representative of the family
/ OF Dea. Asahel Goodell.
Elijah became a member of the church
in 1889 when little more than ten years of
age. He was for a considerable time the
leader of the church choir, large in those
days. He was deeply interested in the
work and trained his choir with an unspar-
ing hand. He cultivated many flowers,
having a large garden of these near his
house, and delighted in sending bouquets
to the church, for festivals, to the sick and
to friends. He was person of somewhat
impulsive feeling, but was tender-hearted
and kind, and will be missed from his
home, the neighborhood and the commu-
nifty.

1t is reported that the quail are very
scarce in the vicinity of Bakersfield. This
has caused considerable apprehension
among those interested in the Pacific coast
field trials, which occur at Bakersfield in
January. 1t is said, though, that there is
no occasion for worry on this score, Tor the
reason that the birds always desert that

ON1TEE GRIDIRON

The Pho mix Indians seem to play in hard
luck, for ;hey have not won single game
during tt cir Southern California trip. On
the Sd i Istant they met defeat at the hands
of the football men of the University of
Southe m California A like misfortune
befell them last Thursday at Santa Bar
bara. where the Athletic club eleven OF that
city ,eat them, after a hard, close game, by
a SC, ,re of 5 to O. The Pasadena Athletic
club. repeated the trick on last Saturday
aft snoon at Pasadena, and won the game
ha ndilv to the tune of l6 to G. Two or
Il ree members of the Pasadena eleven made
sorry exhibition of brutality, slogging and
xnashing the Indians whenever an oppor-
hlnitv presented itself This style of play
ing was finally stopped by the umpire, ruling
I Thomas, the most hagrant offender, off the
field. Such work viii do untold injury to
the sport and go long way toward rem
| dering football unpopular.
The Indian eleven is strong on mass plays
and the other formations that they have
learned by long and steady practice, but
when a play with which they are not Ia
miliar is tried against them they do not
catch on quickly and to this fact their de-
feats are almost wholly due. In every
game, fast formations, particularly those
covering fake plays. invariably deceived the
red men and resulted in long end runs by
their opponents. Wherever they have
played they have gained the respect and ad-
miration of the spectators by their quiet,
gentlemanly demeanor, and the philosophic
cheerfuness with which they accept defeat,
The team has no more games arranged, and
unless some are scheduled by tomorrow, the
Indians will take their departure for Phoe-
nix on Tuesday.
Their schedule of games has been short
ened by the failure to secure a game with
either Pomona college or the high school.

to arouse local interest in football. and it
is to be sincerely wished that similar eX-

anything like the best of the fight, as a
decision would ordinarily convey. Trimble
was never nearly gone, though he received
some hard blows, and in tne mix ups, with
the exception OF the thirteenth and fif-

LIVE BIRD CHAMPIONSHIP

shoot for new medal yesterday on the
ground beyond Westlake park. There was
"a fair-sized crowd pre.ent, but the entry
WAS not as large as had been expected, es-
pacially when the medal cost $50. The
event was with live pigeons, twelve birds to
a man. The wind was very high and the
light poor, but the scores were very good.

with eleven birds each out of a possible
twelve. llauerwaas, Brunei and Alexander
scored ten each out Of twelve, and Freeman

WITH TEE FIGHTERS

The principal topic of interest last weel.
was the fight between Jimmy Trimble and
Billy Gallagher, in which Referee John
Brink awarded the decision to Gallagher.
There has been considerable dissatisfaction
over this ruling, as many claimed that the
fight was too close for any such hair-split-
ting process as was necessary before Gal
lagher could be awarded the fight. Be that
as it may, the fight was certainly the best
the club has given in years. Both men
we're in splendid condition, alert, strong
and scientific, and while Gallagher did
