Early Risen.

A student of bird life, who has been
investigating the question as to the
hour in summer when the commonest
;mall bird, wakes up and begins to
sing, says that the green finch is the
earliest riser, as it sings about 1870
o'clock in the morning. The black
cap begins at 2:30, and the quail half
an hour later.
1t is nearly 4 o'clock, and the sun is
well up, before the first real songster
appears-the merry blackbird. Then
comes the thrush. followed by the
robin and the wren, and last the house
sparrow and the tomtit.
Thus it will be seen that the lark's
reputation as an early riser is not de-
served. In fact, he is very sluggard
for he does not rise until long after

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 25.-
Cursing because the gun which he had
purchased from a San Bernardino sec
ord-hand dealer had failed to do it's
work, sixty-year-old Paul Schlardum,
for some time a resident of Colton,
was arrested late this afternoon at
Smiley Heights park in Redlands.
Schlardum, after sending a note to
his wife bidding her good bye and
telling her that what he was about 10
do would be done because he was
Heights park and sat down under a
tree to end his life. He told the small
boys near by to run and tell the first
policeman they saw that there was go
ing to be a dead man up there. He
then snapped the pistol twice but it
failed to explode the cartridge.
The boys in the meantime had car
ried out instructions and wher the
officer arrived Schlardum was sitting
under the tree cursing because the
shot had failed. He said his only re-
gret was that he had been buncoed into
purchasing a worthless pistol, and be-
lieved he could bring an action for
damages against the dealer. The old
German has a wife living in Redlands,
and a few weeks ago came to Cotton
from Denver, Colorado. Nothing
more is known of the old man.

WITTED BY DAUGHTER
Pretty Bess Barton Goes With Father
to Buy School Books, Then Comes
to Los Angeles and Is
Married

Pretty Bess Barton, the eighteen
year-old daughter of Mayor H. M. Bar
ton of San Bernardino, started tc
school yesterday morning but later
changed her mind, came to Los An
geles, where she met Sherman G.
Bachelor, also of San Bernardino, and
married him yesterday afternoon.
"An elopement," say friends of the
girl in San Bernardino.
80, no, dear no; it wasn't an elope-
ment," said Mrs. Bachelor last night
at the Lankershim. I'VE just wanted
to get married, so we came to Los An
geles."
At the home of Mayor Barton in
San Bernardino there was to have
been birthday party for Miss Bess
last night, say the neighbors. Instead
there was sorrow over a telegram
from Los Angeles in which the
daughter told of her marriage tc
Bachelor. 1t Is said Bachelor had
been ordered to discontinue his at
tentions to the girl by her father.
Miss Barton was a member of the
senior class of the San Bernardinc
high school. She went to school yes
terday morning, then returned with
her father to a book store to make
some purchases.
Leaving her father, Miss Barton
boarded a Salt Lake train and came
to Los Angeles. Bachelor secured a
license and the couple were married
yesterday afternoon, registering later
at the Lankershim.
Mrs. Bachelor was eighteen years
old last Sunday and a birthday party
was to have been held last night, to
which a number of friends were in
vited.
Since their first meeting about two
years ago. it is said, the couple have
been victims of Cupid. In spite of the
opposition of Mayor Barton neighbors
say the couple have met occasionally
and the wedding yesterday was the
result.
Mrs. Batchelor is prominent in the
younger social set of San Bernardino
and is member of one of the high
school Greek letter fraternities. Batche-
lor owns barber shop and is a talent
ed vocalist.

campaign

A twenty-four year old daughter ly-
ing at the receiving hospital bullet
wound lodged in her shoulder, a
mother at home badly hurt and a
father in hiding is the finale to mid
night tragedy enacted in a negro fam
lily at 426 River street last night. John
Wesley Brown, janitor employed at
Mahassy's curio store, was the per-
petrator of the deed. Jealous of his
wife's attentions to another man, it
is believed he had planned to wipe
out the entire family, but frightened
by the ghastliness of his own crime he
fled before he had carried his inten-
tions into execution.
Last night, according to the state
ment of the wife, Brown returned to
his home, which he had not visited for
almost a week, and gaining entrance
through a window, concealed himself
in the room, awaiting the return Of
the family from the circus. He re-
-mained hidden until the wife and elder
daughter had retired when he sprang
upon them. He first attacked the
daughter, firing at her and then
striking her with heavy bit of plank.
In an effort to protect herself the
girl managed to snatch vase, which
she hurled at him. After stunning his
child Brown used the wooden weapon
on his wife, inf1icting serious wound.
He then fed.
The man is described as heavy set,
of medium height, dressed in a new
suit of clothes and wearing slouch
