MRS. FRASER'S SAD FATE.
Southern Pacific Juegernaut Crushed Out
Her Life.


The Southern Pacific juggernaut fur
nished another case for the Coroner
yesterday. The victim was Mrs. Leah
Fraser, wife of James L. Fraser, of No.
1865 East Thirty.iirst street.
Mrs. Fraser was run down and killed
by the Southern Pacific passenger
train from Santa Monica at Thirty
first street and Central avenue at sos
o'clock in the afternoon. The accident
happened within a short distance of
her home, which she had left but few
minutes before to go on an errand to
a grocery store near by. She had to
cross the railroad track on the way,
and in doing so stepped directly in front
of the rapidly.approaching train. She
failed to observe her danger before the
train was upon her. She was probably
killed instantly, for her lifeless form
was found beside the track when the
train was brought to a standstill few
moments later. Her right arm and
collar bone were broken, and the scalp
was badly torn, besides other injuries
sustained.
The body was placed aboard the bag
gage car by the trainmen and taken to
the Arcade depot, where the Coroner
took charge of it and had it removed to
&. ID. Howry's morgue. An inquest
will be held there at 1890 Thursday.
Mrs. Fraser's failure to see the APP
preaching train is supposed to have
been the fact that her vision was cut
off in that direction by an umbrella
which she was carrying as sunshade.
No particular blame appears to attach
to the trainmen, as the lady did not
step on the track until the train was
so near that it could not be stopped
before it struck her. Her failure to
hear the train in time to take warning
has not been accounted for.
Mrs. Fraser was 81 years of age. She
came to Los Angeles with her husband
from Y ale, Mich, about four years ago,
and had resided here ever since. She
is survived by her husband and six
children, three of whom reside in this
city. They are Mrs. Thomas Darcy,
Mrs. Mitchell, wife of Dr. a. Mitchell,
and y. II. Fraser, manager of the Ma
sonic Home Association Fruit and
Flower Festival to be held here this
month.-Los Angeles Daily Times, Apr.
10, 1899.

omcer Murdered at sturgI..

The village of Sturgis and surround
ing country are wildly excited over
the murder of John w. Craig, the viii
lage night Waterman, by two tramps
early on the morning of the Goth.
Craig was approached short time be-
fore the accident by two chimney
sweeps, who complained that they had
been held up and robbed by two tramps
near the Grand Rapids & Indiana rail
road station. Accompanied by the
sweeps, Craig at once started for the
station. He found the tramps in box
car on a side track. Craig jumped into
the car for the purpose of putting the
men under arrest, when they opened
fire on him. The assault was so unex-
pected that Craig had no time to draw
his own revolver. He was shot three
times, twice in the throat and third
shot entered his left breast. He died
almost instantly. The alarm was
quickly sounded and soon posses were
formed, and the surrounding country
was searched, but at last accounts the
fiends were still at large.

The London Daily Mail publishes
the following: THE delay attending
the Boer reply is due to hopes still en-
tertained by the Transvaal of peace
full settlement. The Beers trust the
premier as much as they distrust the
colonial secretary, and if Lord Sails
bury would give pledge that the
golden bridge was meant seriously,
they would venture upon it, We re-
greet to say that this last desperate eff
fort has broken down since Lord Sal
isbury cannot go behind Mr.. Chamber
lain without creating a cabinet crisis.

situation in Samoa.

The Samoan situation is regarded by
officials at Washington as much more
menacing. because of the numerous re-
ports, particularly those from German
sources, that the Mataafa natives are
growing FESTIVE and are being melted
to another rebellion. There has been
no official verification of these reports,
but officials acquainted with affairs
there and in possession of the latest
information credit the reports and say
there are indications that further
trouble is brewing.

pecIsIons Handed Down by oren

In reply to questions from Mueller
Bros, brewers at Owosso, Attorney
General Oren states that brewers who
pay sos tax cannot enter a local OPP
ton county and store or sell liquor.
But they can sell in any county at
wholesale, without paying additional
tax. They cannot build store houses
in other counties, as they would be
equivalent to additional breweries.
A majority of those voting is suffi-
cient to establish the free text book
system, even if the proportion voting
to the population is very small.
Laborers who work more than 10
hours day can collect for extra work,
but this does not apply to domestics
or farm laborers.

New Tax Law Caused a Lawsuit.

Arrangements have been perfected
for commencing a case to secure rul-
ing of the supreme court on the appli-
cation of the amendment made to the
tax law by the last legislature increas-
ing from to IL per cent the interest
TO be charged on payments of delin-
quent taxes. Auditor-General Dix has
instructed county treasurers to charge
the per cent month from Sept. 23d,
when the new law became operative.
Applicants now refused to pay this
increase, claiming that the law could
not apply 10 taxes returned before the
amendment was passed. The court
will be asked for mandamus TO COM
pei the acceptance of the old rate.
