SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. ga 16-
year-old youth named Green, who was
employed in the Brookings lumber
camp in the mountains north Of this
city, was killed and frightfully man.
gled last night by being caught by a
large log which got away from the
workmen who were loading 1t on
trucks. The young man was employed
az a driver and happened to be stand
ing in the path Of the log when it got
away and shot down the incline, roll
ing over him and crushing his body
to a pulp.
The boy had been employed in the
camp but few days, his home being
In Redlands. He was son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. P. Green of that city. The
body was brought down today and re-
moved to his parents home.
The speed limit on street cars inside
the city limits has been raised by the
city council at the request of General
Manager Denman of the Traction COM
pany to eight miles an hour in the
business district and twenty miles per
hour in the outside district. Some time
ago the speed limit was placed at six
and ten miles but the councilmen were
convinced by a ride over the lines that
this limit was too slow. The twenty
mile limit was placed on the outside
districts for the accommodation Of the
interurban lines, three of which al
ready run in here, and others are soon
to be added.
Strange Find In Well
A strange find was made in well
that is being drilled in the eastern
part of the city by Furst & Bahr.
The drill was working in a bed Of clay
eighty feet from the surface when it
dug up a piece of burned wood. Fifty
feet further down it brought UP a
small circular piece of tin. How these
things became imbedded so far beneath
the surface is mystery to which no
one has as yet offered a satisfactory
explanation.
The franchise of the Lytle Creek
Power company mas nnally Deen
granted by the city council. This is
the rival company that is preparing to
enter the field against the San Ber-
nardino Gas and Electric company to
supply the city with electricity.
A bitter fight was launched against
the granting of the franchise by the
old company which is a Huntington
corporation, but for some reason the
fight was suddenly dropped before the
city council and the franchise was ac-
cordingly granted. Whether the old
company is preparing to start fight
in some other direction remains to be
seen.
The new plumbing ordinance which
the city council has had under con-
sideration for long time is now law.
1t provides for a city plumbing inspec-
tor and places rigid rules and regula-
tions on the plumbing work Hereto
fore the plumbing has been carried on
under very loose manner in the city
with the result there is a great amount
of defective plumbing in the city.

Just Then Sarchlight Was Turned On Her.

OF the United States became one ward
room boy short and the navy of the
Mikado was one sailor the richer.
Most OF the time that Okashi had
served In the American navy he had
served on board a torpedo boat, and
being quick, bright and ambitious, he
had learned SO much of the workings
of those deadly little craft that If he
had been an American boy he would
have been taken out of the pantry and
placed among the sailors.
When Okashi reached his native land
the war was already begun, and, after
stopping for an hour TO see his parents
In their little shop in Tokyo, the boy
hastened to recruiting place and de-
uanded to be enlisted in the navy of
the Mikado. The officer looked at the
discharge which Okashi handed him and
said, American navy? II is we'll"
But il the honorable presence
desgns," said Okashi. Il do not wish TO
be a wardroom boy any more.'' and he
handed the officer a letter from the
captain of the last torpedo boat on
which he had served, which told of the
bows knowledge of the handling of such
ships and of his general good character
and his intelligence. The result was
that Okashi became a fnll-fedged sailor
on board of a japanese torpedo boat
rolling and pitching over the sea on
its way to the fleet off Port Arthur
The men soon learned his history
and called him the Yankee sailor
which made him angry at first for. he

swept by the fire of a machine gun on
the enemy's deck. and the crew of the
torpedo tube, officers and men, went
down dead.
From his station at the port tube
Cshah saw them go down, and, quick
as thought, he sprang across the deck
and fired the torpedo
1t went shooting across the black wa
W1r.
At the same instant the torpedo boat
turned and went bounding for the open
sea and Oshaki fell to tn, deck
They picked him up w-len the boat
had got out OF range of the Russian fire
and carried him below. The thought he
was dead a first, but he was breath
ing and the surgeon from the battle
ship found that he had only been
stunned by shot which had plowed a
furrow across his forehead
They told Okashi that his torpedo had
goue true. and that the Russian ship
had fed into the harbor, apparently in
a sinking condition But they did not
tell him this, until the afternoon of the
next day, by which time the boy was
well enough to be about again.
Two days afterward he was promoted
TO be petty officer on one of the bat
teshipS, with the promise that he
should have a share in the next expedi-
tion of danger.
Okashi thought of the Bro0klyn navy
yard and his friends there and wished
they could see him in his new uniform.

OF the man who held the mortgage on

the boat that summer and he thought
he knew how TO handle her, but had
found himself mistaken.
Late that night the shore was reached
and Tom insisted that Jack should go
to the house with him.
1t was an anxious and frightened

by no means given up the idea of get
