A man inspecting freight cars crawled
under each car and scrambled about look

beam and rod. journal, boxing, draw-bar,
etc. etc. until every part of the car had
been gone over.
If nuts were missing, bolts about to drop

peared in the running or important part

reported at the shops Experience has
taught the expensive folly of letting little
defects remain uncorrected on engines or
cars, until in time of need the cracked
brakebeam refuses to hold, or the nutless
bolt drops out of place, and a smash-up is
the result.
If inanimate cars and engines are worth
such care, why not the beautiful machin-
cry of the human body? If you find daily
aches or ails, be quite sure it is natures cry
for relief from some insult you have been
guilty of. Perhaps you put coffee into

A RAPE FIEND
BRUTALLY ASSAULTS A LITTLE
GIRL AT RIVERA
Sheriff Burr and His Deputies at Work
With Bloodhounds-Mea
Details Obtainable

Word was received by Sheriff Burr
last night about o'clock of the attempted
rape of little girl at Rivera, some ten
miles south of Los Angeles. The infor-
nation was meager and but little could
be learned regarding the crime. Depu-
ties Clements, White, Woodward and
Barnhill left on receipt of the news for
the scene, the sheriff in the meanwhile
taking steps for the sending of Belts
bloodhounds for the use of the officers.
1t is not thought that the fiend can es-
cape, in view of the precautions which
have already been taken to effect his
capture.
LATER DETAILS
A telephone message, received at
o'clock this morning, gives more details
of the horrible rape affair at Rivera.
The child, a little girl years of age,
daughter of William Wood, who lives
one mile south of Rivera, was carried
away from the road as she was return
ing home at p. m. last night, taken to
an empty field and brutally ravished
She describes her assailant as a young
man, wearing light clothes, and heavy,
dark mustache. A medical examination
showed the girls condition to be quite
serious. The four deputies from Los An
geles, together with two constables from
Rivera and posse of citizens, are scour-
ing the country, and it is feared that the
fiend will fare badly in the event of his
capture. The officers are working on d
