KNOCKERS INVITED.
Wanted at Meeting at SchooIhouse, Saturday
November 4th.

he first, last and only meeting or the
Juvenile Order of Amalgamated Knockers
of Torrance comfy will occur at the
school house at Estaneia Saturday Nov
ember 4th, and the Anvil Chorus will te-
gin promptly ats o'clock m. At the
close of the exercises attending this meet
ing, the gavel will be sounded by J. D.
ChiIders, the Great Chief Hammer
and at the fall of his gavel this an
cent and much abused organization will 60
out of business in Torrance county forev-
er, unless revived for purpose.
This meeting is called for the purpose
of completing the work on the school
house which was begun at a former
me eting of the patrons held some time
since At that meeting, a new floor was
laid and the seats rearranged. At this
meeting it is proposed to paint the roof
and paper the walls and every patron
of the school who is able to WELD a tack
hammer is invited. In fact they are urged
to attend and the measure of their patrio-
tsm and public spiritedness will be judged
by their attendance and the amount of
work they do.
At patrons mass meeting held at the
school house Wednesday evening this
plan was agreed upon and a committee
composed of J. D. Childers, J. M. Car
Isle and J. R, Wash was appointed by the
chairman, w. c, Walker, to take charge
of things and see that the work is proper
ly done. The committee requests every
patron of the district to report promptly
al O'Clock on the day appointed equipped
with tack hammers and tacks for the
work of putting on the canvass and
while it is anticipated, expected and wish
ed that the crowd will be made up of
"taclty" people only, any attempts at
pun like this will be summarily dealt with.
In fact the first person showing the least
disposition in this direction will be shot by
one of the mounted police secured for that
purpose.
AS a persuader for the beast called man
the ladies have decided to serve big bas-
ket dinner at noon and Mrs. John W. Cor
bett was appointed committee of one
with power to appoint her own assistants
and it is her duty to see that there are
baskets enough to go around. "Only
those who work may eat" will be the
MOTTO and no eleventh hour business goes.
Any one deserting the work Immediately
after lunch will meet the fate he deserves.
More funds TO purchase the material
for the work will be needed and to meet
this deficiency it was decided to give a box
supper later, the ladies to prepare the
boxes and the men to buy them at fifty
cents each. There will probably be other
ways devised by which those attending
may spend something besides their time
and judging by the success of the box
supper attending the organization of the
Estancia Valley Development Association
last fall this affair will be the social event
of the season.
At the meeting Wednesday night VIC.
Walker was chairman and Burt Garnett

FERROUS disappearance Of Del CASTOR
from his family in this city ten years
ago, and the recent discovery of his
whereabouts by Warren county detec-
tives, would furnish Sherlock Holmes
ample material for a good-sized volume.
The case is more. particularly inter
esting to the Modern Woodmen of
America. Many believed CASTOR to be
dead, but Notwithstanding several
bouts in circuit and appellate courts to
collect the amount of the insurance
policy held by CASTOR and made pay
able to his wife, the Modern Woodmen
refused to pay the claim. It is, how
ever, understood that, at a meeting to-
morrow in Rock Island the Woodmen
had agreed to compromise for $500.
Ever since CASTOR s disappearance,
officers have never doubted that he
could be found. Recently a clue led
the detectives to Wyoming where, in
q secluded retreat, forty miles from a
railroad. the missing Woodman was
fouad. He had remarked and was liv-
ing as a ranchman under an assumed
name. He was fully identified by City
Marshal Sloat and City Attorney Glen
denim, Of this city. His first wife and
four children reside here. He will prob
ably be arrested for bigamy.

Two brakemen killed and fifteen per-
sons more or less seriously injured is
the result OF the Salt Lake collision
which occurred at Riverside at an
early hour yesterday morning.
Lank House, an extra conductor, was
in charge of the overland. known as
No. l. and w. d. elliott was engineer.
House was making his first run on the
train and had received orders at tower
No. 10 in Riverside to take the siding
at Streeter avenue for the newspaper
train due at Riverside at 5:3S o'clock.
This is the first side track east of the
big bridge across the Santa Ana river.
House passed the order on to the en-
gineer, who repeated it. Instead of
stopping at the siding, however, elliott
pulled out for Pedley station, the first
stop on the other side of the river.
Before the train had gone it's length

failure to stop and pulled the bellcord.

pie of hundred yards from the bridge.
Both engineers reversed the levers and
whistled and then the engineers and
firemen of both trains jumped.
The impact when the two ponderous
engines came together could be heard
distinctly at Riverside four miles or
more distant, and several who guessed
the cause made haste to get to the
scene of the wreck.
The tremendous impetus of the over
land drove the lighter paper train
back on the track for several hundred
yards before it came to a stop. 1t was
down grade and nothing could SEEM
ingly stay it's course. The engine of
the paper train was driven back into
the mail car, which fairly enveloped it.
The single passenger car in the rear
was not damaged.
The big oil tank car of the overland
was thrown to the right of the track,
and its black and sticky contents were
soon making a little pond in the marshy
sod.

YOSEMITE, June 6.-Charles A
Bailey prominent resident Of Berke-
ley, Cal, has been killed by falling
from the precipice of lei Captain, a dis
tance of 1900 feet. In company with j.
c. Stats of Mount Vernon, o., Bailey
started up the almost perpendicular
face of the cliff, feat which had never
yet been accomplished.
When they had climbed about half
of the 5000 feet ascent they halted for
breath, Bailey sitting on narrow
shelf and Stats clinging to the face of
the rock below. Without word Bailey
began to r''Ic. shooing downward a
few feet tC ,tuats' left. He fell head
long out of sight, striking his head
several times before he disappeared.
Stats was horror stricken, but gath
ering courage he climbed down to n
point where he found Bailey's hat and
a bloodbespattered rock. Farther than
this he was unable to go and he could
not gain sight of the body. BY almost
miraculous efforts he made his way to
the top alone and at last reached the
settlement almost prostrated from the
physical and mental strain.
Guardian Harlow with large force
of men and accompanied by DIR. Mar
tin H. Fisher of San Francisco started
with Staats to the scene of the tragedy,
but no word has yet come from them.
This is the first fatality to a tourist
ever recorded here. Bailey had just
