Not Satisfactory to Citizens
In That Vicinity

Alleged improper street work on Nor

causing storm of protest from resi-

street is of inferior quality and that
the cement was not properly mixed.

RECOMMENDS NEW HEATING
SYSTEM FOR CITY HALL
Engineer. Mclaughlin Asserts Present
Plant Is Inadequate and in
Need of Repairs

B. F. Mclaughlin, engineer at the city
hall, has made thorough examination
of the heating apparatus in the build

as he says in his report.
The heating system was formerly hot
water, but this was later changed to
low pressure system and some of
the old hot water pipes were left in
and connected with the new system
He recommends that the entire plant
be taken out and a new one installed
This would cost about $4,000, and it is
evident that Mclaughlin does not ex-
pect this suggestion to be carried out,
as he adds a postscript to his report
in which he shows how the system now
in use may be improved at an expendi.

He recommends changes in the radi-
ators, the removal of all the basement
pipes and repiping with an improved
system, with an independent feed AMI

system it is impossible to heat the
library on Sundays without running
steam throughout the building, which
is an unnecessary waste. Some of the
old pipes may be used in the new sys-

LORD NEVILLE WOULD
START BIG GOAT RANCH
Seeks to Interest City Health Depart
ment in Plans for Furnishing
Milk for Babies

Lord" Neville, who Is monarch Of
all he surveys as long as he stands on
the city dump pile and looks not over
its edge, has a scheme for developing
future generations into a race Of "butt-
inskies," and is trying to interest the
city health department in his plan.
The king of the city's garbage was
recently made the legatee of relative
and he has been concocting all sorts OF
propositions for spending the money.
His latest idea, and the one that he
promises to stick to most steadfastly,
is a plan to start a goat farm in the
vicinity of Los Angeles and supply ba-
bies with the nourishing milk. He thinks
he sees fortune ahead OF him and Is
trying to interest the health depart"
ment to the extent of making goats
milk the official milk for babies.
Neville practically has a monopoly
of the tin can supply of the city and
the feed for his goats would be a small
item on this account.

Iowa where it is said he owns forty
four farms. According to those who
know him slightly, DR.. Ordway Is
millionaire several times over, but he
talks little and leads a retired life.
In speaking of the fire yesterday
morning, Mrs. Jolly says she saw the
doctor put $400 in gold in the valise
with the bonds about week ago and
Mrs. Yager was present at the time.
This valise was always kept in the
owners room.
According to the theory Of the police,
Mrs. Yager saw the money placed in
the valise week ago and had been
watching her opportunity since to Sc
cure the gold. 1t is believed by the
police that she took the valise from
the doctors room while she was there
as his nurse.
After the valise had been taken, the
police believe she hid 1t in the base
ment and took the gold. Not knowing
the value OF the papers in the valise, |
she is believed by the police to have
attempted to conceal the crime and
destroy the evidence of burglary by
burning the house
The burned valise and charred bonds
are being held by the police as evidence
against the woman.

PASTOR RETURNS FROM
VACATION IN EUROPE
Rev. C. c. Pierce Of Memorial Baptist
Church and Family Delighted
IN RA NJ Hama


Los Angeles is the most promising
city in the world. 1t is head and
shoulders above all other American
cities"
Rev. C. G. Pierce, pastor of the Me-
mortal Baptist church, is loud in his
praises of Los Angeles. He returned
yesterday from a three months tour of
Europe. He was accompanied by his
wife and their daughter, Miss Maria.
Rev. Mr.. Pierce attended the worlds
convention of the Baptist church in
London, the first of its kind ever held
by the Baptist church. He says that
he felt more at home in London than
in New York city, although he had
lived in the latter city.
He gives as the reason for this that
there is no real business section in
London, the residence section extend
ing over all parts. There are no sky
scrapers in London" said Mr.. Pierce,
"and somehow skyscrapers make man
feel little"
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce visited Cam
bridge and Oxford. They also visited
Ireland, Scotland. Wales. Holland,
Germany and France.
They report pleasant journey, with
not single accident, and enjoyed per-
feet health. They sailed on the Baltic,
the largest vessel af1oat, on which were
1900 passengers The trip over was
made very enjoyable by the presence
of the Royal Glee club Of Norway.

INDIAN FIGHTER IS
FEARED BY WOMAN
SWEARS HE ASSAULTED HER
WITH WHIP
TROUBLE ARISES OVER WAGES
Mrs. Isabel B. Tllton Secures Warrant
for Arrest Of Louis Meyer,
Charging Him With
Battery

Driven to desperation by repeated
threats and attacks of former hired
man, Mrs. Isabel B. Tilton, plainswo-
man and dairymaid, yesterday swore
out warrant charging battery against
Louis Meyer, a veteran of several In
dian wars.
According to the story told by the
woman to Constable de la Monte she
employed Meyer several weeks ago as
a dairyman. She alleges that through
his carelessness nearly half of her Gus
toners deserted her and she discharged
him for incompetency.
Two days later he returned to her
home on Florence avenue, one mile
south of Ascot park, and demanded
$22. She refused his demand and he
left after making threats. Thursday
morning he went to her home and is
alleged to have attacked her with q
buggy whip. She attempted to defend
herself, but Meyer is alleged to have
struck her several times before a boy
employed on the place interfered.
SeCuTeS warrant
Yesterday, alarmed at Meyers
threats, Mrs. Tilton applied for
warrant against him. Deputy Con-
stable C. R. Thomas was sent to arrest
the man. He found Meyer at work in
an alfalfa field and the ex-soldier was
very wroth when he learned of the ac-
ton of Mrs. Tilton.
IT have known that woman for
twenty-five years." he said IT first
met her at Fort Reno in the territory
during the first Apache uprising. I was
a soldier then and she was staying at
the agency.
1T remained at the fort some time
and while 1 was there Mrs. Tilton
the Nez Percez nation. She lived with
him several years and later crossed
the plains in a covered wagon and
settled in California.
IT fought in several Indian wars
against the Cheyennes and Apaches
and then I came to this state. AS my
father back in the old country. had
been a dairyman, I selected that as my
business and have been a dairyman
for several years.
when this woman discharged and
I demanded my pay she chloroformed
me for twenty-five nights. I think she
was trying to weaken me until died,
and then she would not have to pay
me any money.
II never struck her. went to her
yard two days ago and demanded my
pay. Get out of here or 1 will shoot
you,' she said, and she drew a six
shooter. 1 have seen her shoot before
and she is an expert with pistol.

Worship of Wells.

Worship Of wells was every where
comon in England and Ireland before
the days of Christianity. Even yet,
in spite of the canons of St. Anselm,
issued in 1902 against well worship.
relics of it are found in some Eng
fish and Irish neighborhoods. The
third Sunday in May is known as
Sugar-and-Wate Sunday, it having
been the custom for many centuries
in the north of England to meet on
that day at the wells in the neighbor-
hood to drink sugar and water, cere-
mony at which the village girls were
supposed to be the hostesses of the
young men. When this had been done
the party generally went to the near
est inn, where the young men re-
turned the hospitality they had re-
ceived with cakes, ale and punch.
