STRUCK BY CAR WHILE
TRYING TO FLAG IT
Georqe Ward, a Teamster, Suffers In.
jures Which May Prove
Fatal

George Ward, a teamster, 80 years of
age, received injuries that may prove
fatal by trying to flag westbound
Santa Monica car at the corner of Six
teenth and Harvard streets last night.
Ward, who is said to have been un-
der the influence of liquor at the time,
says that while on his way to Santa
Monica his hat blew off and he left the
car to regain it. In the meantime the
car went on its way and he was obliged
to wait for the next one. He claims
that seven cars went by him in sue
cession, none of the motormen needing
his signals to stop.
Finally, his anger thoroughly aroused,
Ward decided to flag the next car that
hove in sight. Taking up his position
between the rails he awaited it's ap-
proach and when it hove in sight he
signaled wildly for it to stop The
car struck Ward, breaking his leg and
one rib and shaking him up generally.

PASADENA. April 30,--When the old
city council completes its unfinished
business Monday forenoon and adjourns
sine die the new members will take UP
the reins of government. AS the usual
meeting Of the city fire, police and park
commissioners is scheduled for the af-
ternoon it is likely that one of the first
official acts of Mayor Waterhouse will
be to fill two vacancies on that board.

the council. H. c. Hotaling goes out by
reason of his expired term. The mayors
selection Of their successors has a bear
ing on the appointment of a chief Of
police, as the board has the power Of
appointment. There is a strong be-
lief that Mr.. Hotaling will be reap
pointed to succeed himself on the board,
although he has not openly expressed
a desire to retain that privilege. AS has
been stated, the mayor has not in
timated who he has decided upon for
the vacant places on the commission
and there is much speculation tonight
as to the outcome. 1t is belived that
the mayor has the chief question set
tied. There is strong belief that the
chance for success lies between Walter
Austin. the present chief, who has filled
an unexpired term, and former chief
w, Wray Freeman. Yet the names of
Mr.. Lacey and Walter Richardson are
still talked of in connection with the

the police he sold fifty cents worth of
bananas to ]. B. Cannon last night
and gave him $3.50 of good silver in
exchange for what is alleged to be
a bogus $40 bill.

petrated and set out in hot pursuit Of
his customer During the chase he met
Officer Peterson, and to him he related
his tale of woe. Together they resumed
the trail, and a few moments later
found Cannon and two friends in
saloon
Peterson arrested the three men and
took them to the police station. They
begged to be released, claiming that 1t
was all a mistake. Cannon stated
positively that he had never seen the
two men that accompanied him before,
while they in turn swore positively
that they had never made the acquaint-
ance Of Cannon. Cannon was held and
the others were released.
Theodore surrendered the $40 bill at
the police station and It was found to
have been issued by defunct Con-
federate bank. 1t consisted of two
halves of two bills together and alike
on either side

searched, claiming that he had no other
money on his person. The police were
obdurate, however, and careful

Big Strike Is Rumored

There have been several important
strikes made here this week. The first
was that rumored on the Combination.
The management of this property al
ways refuses information, and nothing
but rumor can be gained. 1t has
been given to The Herald correspond
ent by a man who is in a position to
know that the most important strike
that this million dollar producer has
ever made has been discovered on the
$50 foot level. This man states that a
ledge has been cut at this depth that
carries values of $500 to s4OO per ton,
that it is over ten feet in width and
that there are tale seams in the very
heart of this ledge that run as high
as $50OO
A second strike was that made on the
Dixie in the southeastern end of the
district on Preble mountain. At a
depth of 210 feet wide ledge carrying
values ranging from 1925 to 1885 has
been cross-cut and this is being drifted
on to prove its size. The particular
interest to Los Angeles in this strike
lies in the fact that most of the big
properties owned by Los Angeles conf
panies are in the immediate vicinity of
Preble mountain, on which the Dixie
company has made this strike.

three weeks and several deaths. Some
of those who have been taken off have
been men in the best of health, and for
these reasons there was a good deal of
fear expressed. But sane cool inves-

for the contraction of the dread dis
ease or else that improper methods of
treatment for it have been responsible.
