A long legged Plymouth Rock Car

white Leghorn hen held long conver-

which divides their yards. They dis
Cussed measures they should take to-
ward the breaking of the egg famine
that now prevails in Los Angeles and
has caused the price OF fresh ranch
eggs to soar up as high as 60 cents a
dozen.
The rooster had just aroused the en-
tire community with his series of early
morning "crows" when he spied the
hen on the other side of the fence
busily engaged in scratching for earth
worms. He Immediately flew up onto
the fence and after good morning"

How are they treating you?'

"They say that eggs are scarce in

Gently Stone was well known among
newspaper men of the coast. Notes
and memoranda found on his person

SAY PASTOR HAS DONE GONE AND
TUCK UP WITH HOLINESS NONSENSE

Baptist church In Pasadena, grew elo-
quent over the wrongs which she al
legged had been done to the flock OF
truly faithful by Pastor Bushell.
Say Pastor Turned Holiness
She said, yeah, we was; we had a
nice little chuch with just big enough
debt to keep the members FUN getting
lazy. We wuz all good Baptists and
believed that immersion wuz the origi-
nal way of washing away sin. Bushell
wuz our spiritual directah, and we all
had all kinds Of confidence in that
man. But how wuz our trust repaid?
Bushell, that faithless man, tuhned
holiness and said that the only way
to be saved wuz to get down on youah
knees and wait until you all saw a
big light, then you all wuz saved for
evah mo-.
"Us Baptsts didn't take up with
that kind of doctrine, and fust thing
we knows, he has us u'ched-thrown
out of the edifice that our own money
had helped to build. [ tell you all,
judge, that didn't look right to us, no.
how.
why, we wuz tuhned out of that
church just like pack of sheep
jumpin ovah a fence, on'y All hope we
went out with noah dignity than ig-
norant sheep would display"
When one of the witnesses was asked
at whose instance he went to see Bu-
shell. he. not understanding the mean
ing of the term instance, replied: II
went to sec Mr.. Bushell with his in
terest at heart and | was only there
a few instants."
No settlement is in sight as yet and
1t is thought that the case, although
of minor Importance, will occupy the
time of department nine of the superior
court for the next three or four days
as there are about fifteen witnesses 10
be cross examined, and there will he
much rebuttal testimony.

DISFIGURED RECLUSE
DIES OF STARVATION
FRANK S. WEATHERLY REFUSES
TO TAKE FOOD
Physicians at County Hospital Merei-
fully Decline to Force Nourishment
Upon Emaoiated Man Who Per-
sistently Sought Death

Frank s. weatherly after leading
the life of a hermit or recluse for the
past ten years for the reason that his
nose was burned off and his face ter
ribly disfigured in an accident, died of
starvation at the county hospital yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock.
When Weatherly was taken to the
hospital last Saturday from the hovel
in which he lived, an effort was made
to have him eat but he persistently re-
fused and 1t was thought to be more
humane to allow him to die than to
prolong his agonies by forcing him to
receive food.
At the hospital it was stated that
Weatherly was not the mans real
name, but his identity together with
the location of his relatives are likely
to remain as much of a mystery as
they are today.
DR.. ID. c. Barber of the county hos
pital thought for a time that the man
would recover and was making prepa-
rations to have a wax nose made for
him, but his refusal to allow himself
to recover made the plans frultless.
For the last three years Weathery
lived In shack In the rear of 430 East
Third street and no one but himself
ever entered the room from the time he
first rented it until he was taken to
the hospital last Saturday.
AT the time he was taken to the hos
pital, he said that he had been a drug
gist in Los Angeles il years ago, that
his wife and children had died and
that he had lost his business and been
compelled to go to work for another
druggist.
While he was filling a small bottle
with sulphuric acid from II large car
boy he dropped the large receptacle
to the cement floor and the acid flew

CHARGE OF ARSON
Joseph Ellington Says He Wanted to
Get Even With the Directors,
So He Set Fire to the
Building

Confronted with positive evidence OF
his guilt Joseph Ellington, a Moneta
school boy, yesterday broke down and
confessed having set fire to the Moneta
school to satisfy a grudge of long
standing between himself and the di-
rectors of the institution.
Ellington is a bright looking lad,
seventeen years of age and of good
parentaEe. lie resides two hundred
yards from the school, and, as he was
about the only boy in the village who
failed to attend the fire Sunday night,
the officers who made the Investigation
Of the incendiary fire called him to ac-
count.
Yesterday the boy told of how he set
fire to the building and of the motive
which actuated the deed. II bought a
can of coal oil Saturday afternoon and
carried it to the school house In the
evening"" said the boy. Then ] forced
open one of the windows and crawled
into the wood room and left the can OF
oil there.

Sunday evening / went to the school
house and crawled in and poured the
oil all over the wood and then / set
fire to it. and when ! saw the fire had
a good start ran away and went
home and stayed there.
IL don't think I would have fired the
building if I had thought very much
about it, but | didn't think
Several weeks ago, according to the
reports of Deputy Sheriffs Bert Frank
lin and Len Cleveland, who have been
working on the case, Ellington stole
two bicycles from the school house and
gave one to his chum, Floyd Lovelace.
The two went out into the country on
the bicycles and stayed away four
days. When they returned they were
arrested by request of the directors Of
the school, but as the property had
been recovered and the boys We're too
young to be sent to the penitentiary,
the complaint charging grand larceny
was dismissed
1t is said that because of the action
of the school directors over the bicycle
affair Ellington promised to get even
and took the first opportunity of fir
ing the school building, which was
comparatively new and one of the fin
est country school houses in Southern
California
Floyd Lovelace. who was arrested
Monday with Ellington, was released
Yesterday after the confession had been

A Warming to Mothers.

Too much care cannot he used with
small children during the hot weather OF
the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only nee
essary to give the child dose OF castor
oil to correct any disorder of the bowels.
Do not use any substitute, but give the
old fashioned castor oil, and see that il is
fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a
tendency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then
dose of castor oil, and the disease may
be checked in its incipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once and
kept ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble APP
pears. THIS is the most successful treat
ment known and may be relied upon
with implicit confidence even in cases OF
cholera infantum. For sale by Dunn 4

and one end swayed against leaning

men. The end of this stub dropped with
great force, striking the young man on
the head, crushing his skull, and break
ing his neck and lower jaw. Assistance
