VICTOR P. MOSES.
County Clerk.

los Angeles, CAL, Jan. 13.-
C. L. Caldwell, who disappeared in
h'- automobile on Tuesday night,
January S, was found dead today
in field some distance from. the
Co'npton road. south of this city.
The automobile had been con-
sumed by fire from an explosion of
gasoline, presumably, and Cald-
Wells body was found lying across
the front of the vehicle, burned to
a blackened mas. .,,...
The supposition is that Cald-
we'll lost his way and the machine
became unmanageable in the field
where it was found. and that an
explosion directly beneath the feet
of the driver rendered him unable
to escape from the flames that fol.
lowed the igniting of the gasoline.

HAS FAITH IN FUTURE CHINA.

Bishop Cranston's narrative of
Chinese customs and superstitions
was listened to with deep interest
by his big audience. The story OF
what the missionaries are doing
to remove these prejudices and edu-
cate the ignorant caused many who
have held prejudices against for
eign missions to take a favorable
view of the work the churches are,
doing in foreign lands. The effort
together wi h powerful sermon
from the same pulpit Sunday
morning have ELECTED many a fav-
orable comment for Bishop Grams
ston. The bishop is one OF the
most pleasing pulpit speakers in
the country, with elegant diction,
fine personal appearance and a
voice that charms the auditor. He
has faith in the future of China,
and believes that the education now
going on among the masses will
result in time in the rout of Chin.
ese prejudices, the overthrow of
present heathenish customs and
the ultimate coming of the empire
into its own and long delayed her
itage of civilization He has i'm
mense faith in the Chinese mind,
whenever it is freed from those
barbarous influences that now
hold it enthralled.

The transaction is carried on
through an agent, the father of the
son accepting that girl who brings
