RUNAWAY HORSE CAUGHT
IN FURNITURE VAN
Frightened Animal Lands on Wagon
and Is Unable to


The crowd on the plaza was given a
shock that woke up the sleepers on the
benches yesterday morning. A horse
with weight attached to the hitch
strap, and drawing a runabout on
which was inscribed the name j. Lang
don, became frightened and ran at
breakneck speed toward the plaza
scattering vehicles and causing people
to run for their lives Ahead of the
runaway in the middle of the street
was a big van of the Los Angeles truck
company, with a swinging wooden
apron at the rear of the low truck,
standards being arranged across the
rear opening. Into this truck the run
away dashed at full speed. The horse
struck the truck on a slant and fell
on the apron, swinging the runabout
wagon to the side, resulting in a spec
tacle that occasioned considerable ex-
citement in the neighborhood.
A crowd gathered at the side of the
truck and rescued the runaway from
his PROSTATE position, saving as much
of the harness as possible and running
the rig out of the way of traffic. The
horse was injured by coming in con-
tact with the truck, and while every
body was looking for the owner of the
rig the driver of the truck wagon was
to his friends how he felt
when the collision occurred.

SAYS INDEPENDENT OIL
PRODUCERS CANNOT SELL
Timothy SpeIIacy of Bakersfield Tells
About Tactics of the Stand
ard Company

Timothy Spellacy, chairman OF the
state Democratic central committee
and one of the largest independent oil
wells owner in California, arrived in
Los Angeles yesterday and is stopping
at the Hollenbeck hotel.
Until the field weakens, that is until
there are more people in Bakersfield
and there is less of a monopoly by the
Associated Oil companies, a name
cloaking the activities of the Standard
oil company" said Mr.. Spellacy last
night, in discussing the conditions at
Bakersfield, there is not much hope
for the independents.
"Things are quieter than they have
been for some time. The independents
are not being squeezed by the Standard
Oil corporation, but indirectly through
the methods of the Associated COM
panies.
1.-The railroads have refused to buy
oil from the Independents. Why this Is
those who know the secrets of the
Standard oil company might be able
to explain
anyway, the railroads refuse to pur-
chase other than from the Associated
companies, who are thus able to con-
troll the market. AS the independents
must sell they are forced to market to
the Associated people"

NAVAJO LOST ON
MEXICAN COAST
PROSPECTING TOUR BROUGHT
TO SUDDEN END
GASOLINE TANKS EXPLODE
San Diego Yacht Chartered by Allen
Frazer Totally Destroyed at San
Ignacio-CreW Has Narrow
Escape From Death
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, April 13.-Many MEM
bers of the South Coast Yacht club
will regret to learn that the handsome
yawl rigged Navajo, flagship of the
Corinthian Yacht club, is no more.
She was one of the best cruising yachts
on the coast, that is for the comfort
and convenience of those making an
extended cruise, and Commodore T. P.
Converse had given her auxiliary
power so that it was not absolutely
necessary for him to rely on the
caprice of the winds, though he de-
pended largely on sails when out for
pleasure. During the races for the
Upton cup last summer Commodore
Converse proved a prince of enter
tainers aboard the flagship, as many of
the South coast boys can testify.
A month or more ago Allen Frazer
chartered the Navajo to go on a pros
pecting trip down the coast, furnishing
security for the return of the boat
pense He took Capt Victor Gum
along as captain and j. Wedekind as
sailor A few days ago came the re-
port that the Navajo was roughly
handled in the recent storms along the
entire coast, but a reassuring letter
was received to the effect that while
the yacht was in a blow she was all
right and safely anchored in the lagoon
at San Ignacio. This was followed
yesterday by letter from Capt. Gum,
in which he tells of the total loss of
the yacht. In part OF the letter he
says:
Frazer and Wedekind were to stay
here and prospect, while l was to take
the boat back to San Diego, with two
passengers. We did not get very far
out-about twelve miles-when there
were two explosions and the boat was
on fire. We rushed down stairs and
emptied two fire extinguishers on the
flames without avail, and did the same
with the contents of the water tank.
The fire was burning near the forward
gasoline tank and there was not much
time to work. We got the skiff over
Doard and saved some of our clothing,
but all the provisions we could get
were three cans of tomatoes, which
had to do for both food and water.
Soon after we pushed off both tanks
blew up and the jigger mast fell over
board. We pulled for the shore and it
took us fourteen hours to reach the
land at Abregoes point. but the Navajo
lasted only ten minutes from the time
of the first explosion"
The Navajo was built five years ago
in this city by Harry X. Chamberlain,
who was afterward the commodore of
the club. She was forty-seven feet
long over all, eleven foot beam and
drew seven feet of water. Many
cruises she has made to Santa, Cata-
lima, Santa Barbara and along the cost
south. She was valued at about S6OOO

the seraphic joy was not for long. The

the way the siwashes started off it GER

Who Threw the Bouquet?

Russ Hall ambled to the rubber with
that easy and graceful confidence that

the same time. a manager of a baseball
club, a shortstop thereon and is also
the only living mortal who is aware of
the identity of a certain creature that
heaved a certain missile at a poor work.
ing woman with children to support
A little moke was seen to issue from
the grandstand and drift in the direc-
tion of Mister Hall. After embarrass-
ing effort an imposing bouquet of i'm
mense proportions was finally pro-
duced and the buck passed to his man
agership. Hall was touched by this
little mark of esteem and appreciation
but he didn't say so.
The second was likewise an aching
void and the third failed to produce
material results. The sphere was
handed around considerably, but the
third station was as good as either
contingent could do.
1t was in the fourth round that the
real hostilities began. Houtz opened
the action for the northerners by pass
ing away on dinky pop to Heinrich
Spies. And then that curious citizen

stick. Miller isn't exactly a ball killer
but when it comes to placing his gener-

Is Angeles. 8: seattIe. 2.

Los Angeles, g. Seattle, 2.
with all of the weighty and frequent
bingling of the North American Indians
yesterday afternoon the Seraphic ball
basters managed to demonstrate a vic
tory by the perilous margin Of one lone
circuit completer. The men from the
region of goloshes and dampness
fielded like n gill net In front of a
school of helpless mackerel-they
smothered nice two-horse pasture lifts
and mopped up the torridest of
grounded drives with a disturbing
promptitude and facility. But they
couldn't overcome that small but po-
tent little lead of one mark and after
two of Halls laddies had scurried
around the patches in the fifth they
failed to again create a muss around
the rubber.
Harry Goodwin endeavored to mys-
tify the braves with shoots and slants,
but with the exception of the fifth
period Harry was equal to the demands
of the day. AIRY had several oppor-
tunities to fly away to his native land
but he managed to pitch himself out of
several tight corners, and with fault
less support did the trick on the mound
until the sponge was tossed over the
ropes in the ninth canto.
The mo hit no run" artist, Charley
Hall, meandered out to the slab with a
sedate and confident mien that left no
doubt as to his intentions. He felt the
potency of divine inspiration in his
Seraphic stickers. But the horsehide
manipulation from the bean belt was
destined to experience a rude awak-
ening.
Things We're quiet in the first three
periods. The Angels covered them
selves with glory by wrestling a base
hit from the redmen in the opening
aria. Bernard countered on the leather
for punt to amidship territory but the
next three Angels to take issue with
Hall on the batting average question
failed to clout the ball for a life on the
sacks.
