He was confined to his bed, was bloat- ed almost beyond recognition, and could not take solid food Doctors called the disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not live. The Canadian Mutual Life Assoeia- tion, after thorough examination, paid him his total disability claim of SI 500, regarding him as forever incurable.

MAKE AN OFFER
Thought They We're Right in Hanging
Onto the Church Funds For the
Good of Christ's Kingdom

The full boerd of elders and trustees
of the First Presbyterian church met
last Thursday, and. after consultation,
unanimously decided to make an offer
to the presbyterial committee, of which
the following is copy
Gentlemen: In the matter of the contest
of the presbytery against the FIRST Fres-
byterian church of Los Angeles.
The supreme court has decided thus far
that our action was wrong and sustained
the ecclesiastical authority of the pres
bytery in the matter.
Our action in the matter was in the full
belief that we were right IN principle and
in law-not for gaining or Withholding
money--and that our action was for the
ultimate best interest of Christ's kingdom
on earth.
To more completely manifest our asser-
tion that we were not contesting for part
of the money. and as final settlement. We
now offer to transfer the whole property
to such guarantee as you may wish. and
who may be properly authorized TO receive
It. subject to a mortgage of $4,000. nearly
all of which was used in the acquisition of
the property in addition TO the money re-
eeived from the old church. This mortgage
to be assumed and confirmed by the
grantee. whoever that may be.
| on receiving an acceptance of this propo-
sal, a meeting of the congregation, If
| deemed necessary, will be called to act
upon 1t, which we think will be approved
This proposal and any consideration oi
| it on your part to be without prejudice
to the rights of either party in the civil

here about four years ago from Ger
many, was struck by freight train and
killed yesterday morning near Shorb
station, between this city and Pasadena
He was walking along the track and
paid no attention to the danger signals
sounded by the engineer. Every effort
was made to stop the train, but too late.
The pilot of the engine struck him and
knocked him off the track. He was
brought back to this city and kregelo
&, Bresees ambulance started with him
to the county hospital. Before it had
gone far Stengel died, and his body was
taken to the morgue. The inquest will
be held today.
The deceased formerly held a respon-
sible position under the German govern
ment. He came here for the benfit OF
his health and for several months had

"Well, DOCTOR" continued Mr Will
Jams, "you are accustomed to being

it," sharply retorted the witness. She
was soon excused
Miss Vada Reid was then called. Sne

completely and made an excellent VIII
ness. She said she considered IL her

matter. She swore that she had never
before had occasion to punish pupil
DIR. r. Wernigke was called as an ex-
pert and asked as to the possible results
of punishment inflicted with the strap
used by the teachers. He said, in snort
that 1t would be impossible to admin
lister serious injuries with such an In
str1ment if the blows were applied to
that norton of the body where Long
caught the strap.
C. H. Long. father of the boy. took
the stand in rebuttal. He said that MISS
Gardner had never complained to MIN
of his sons actions. This closed the case.
Mr. Williams said he had no desire to
argue the matter but he asked permis-
sion to file a brief. and was given five
days in which to do so, the understand
ing being that Mr.. Flint was to be al
lowed to reply if he considered 1t nee
