called the lie.
Never tell an untruth to your husband.

REAR-END COLLISION.
Fog at Los Angeles, Cal, Causes Ac-
cident in Which at Least 40
Persons Are Injured.

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. AT least
40 persons were injured, some of them
seriously, in rea- end collision Satur-
day on the Long Beach electric road, in
fog. A car bound from this city to
Long Beach and carrying SO passengers
had stopped near Compton, when work
car, containing about 40 Mexican labor
ers and two foremen, which had been
closely following, crashed into it at full
speed. Not a person on the passenger
car escaped injury, and some of them
received frightful cuts and bruises.
Motorman Seamans, of the work car,
was perhaps fatally injured. He stuck
to his post and yelled to the men aboard
to jump.
A car bound to this city from Long
Beach was stopped opposite the wreck
and many of the injured were placed
aboard. A work car following it bumped
into it and more persons were injured,
some of those who had received injuries
in the first collision being again injured
in the second one. The injured were
taken to hospitals in this city.
