PROMISE THRILLING THRILLS
GayIy Bedecked Bovines and Daredevil
BanderiIeros viii Fight a
Return Match

Another thrilling thrill in the line Of
bullfghting in disguise will be pulled
off at Southern Pacific baseball park
at Santa Monica tomorrow afternoon.
-Four wild, infamed and ferocious
bulls, recruited from the ranks of the
deadly bovines at Maier's packing
house, will pursue four daredevil ban
derilleros, and it is confidently pre-
dicted that the fellow who stands in
enraptured pose upon the lid of an
empty soap box and calmly defies his
bullship will actually be removed from
his proud pedestal by the horns of the
bull unless the horn of the dilemma
shall have warned him aforehand of his
peril.
AS is the custom at these goreless
affairs at the seaside, the bulls will be
attired in the latest designs from Paris,
including necklace of elaborate design
and a gridiron boa creation of stunning
and original construction. not to men
ton the gaudy ribbons fetchingly ar
ranged to properly illuminate the sub
lime symmetry of the bull-neck of
which one reads so much in the sport
columns after fight a la Queensberry.
1t Is emblazoned upon the flaming
posters which announce the all-absorb-
ing proclamation of the coming event
that IL the perilous feats do not, for
strenuousness, make a Rugby game
look like game of dominoes in an old
ladies' home the admission money will
be cheerfully refunded to all applicants
after the fiesta ell toros.

Reads Like a Travellers
Tale
Special to The Herald.

ALTON, ILL.,, Oct 5.-Miss Sister
Coppinger and Mrs. A. C. Barr were
chased more than mile by two gray
wolves last night on the road from
Godfrey, Ill. The animals raced along
side the buggy and made repeated eff
forts to leap into the vehicle, but were
beaten back with a buggy whip and a
stick. The animals then attacked the
horse and drew blood repeatedly, but
when the buggy came into the out
skirts of the city the wolves fled.
Mrs Barr drove the horse and ham
died the whip, while Miss Coppinger
used the stick. The wolves deployed on
either side and snapped at the horse.
The first wolf then tried to leap into
the buggy, struck a wheel and was
thrown back on the road.
The other wolf snapped at the
horses flank and drew blood. Tho
whip drove 1t back. It's companion
Joined 1t and both tried to climb into
the buggy.
The frightened horse plunged forward
into a run and both wolves were tossed
to the ground. but the horse did not
stop. Mrs. Barr and Miss Coppinger
say this running fight kept up for
more than a mile.
Nearly dozen armed men. accom-
panied by dogs, have set out in the
woods along the Godfrey road. 1t IS
intended to keep up the hunt until

can say without fear of contradiction
that there ia no citizen in the state who
better combines not only all the neces-

son of Francis Murphy and the boy
has inherited all those excellent quail
tiles which made his father famous

temperance advocate held forth to the
largest audiences addressed from any
platform between Maine and Califor-

KIDNAPPED CHILD is
PUZZLE TO POLICE
NO cLEW TO IDENTITY OF THE
ABDUcToRS
Younester Can Give No Further De-
scrIptlon of His Captivity Than a
Mass of Confusing Contradictions.
Abandoned by His captors
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The abandon
ment of Tony Mariendino by the per-
sons who had kidnapped and held him
for ransom and the return of the little
italian boy to his parents, which oc-
CURED last night, has given the police
no clew to the kidnapers. So impressed
with fear of the persons who had stolen
him was the little fellow that he either
could or would give no other descrip-
ton of his captivity than a mass of
confusing contradictions out of which
the police could extract nothing that
would point to the identity of his cap
tors. He had even been so schooled by
them that he called them papa and
mamma" but declared upon closer
questioning that they were not his real
parents.
The boy, who is years old, was
found on a Third avenue trolley car
last evening, where he had been aban-
doned by two men. He was turned
over to the police, who recognized him
as the son of an italian contractor in
Brooklyn. He had been missing twelve
days, and in the meantime his captors
had endeavored to extort $500 and then
$4,000 in ransom from his parents.
In response to the questioning of the
his home by two men "who shoveled
dirt for my father" They took him.
he said, to his cousins house in New
York. where he had a good time.
Although the child told the police
many things of seeming Importance,
he would contradict them in the next
sentence. The police are mystified by
the conduct of the child's parents. In
reply to one question by the police, the
child said that he had been at his
fathers home yesterday. but when his
father, who was present spoke to him
angrily he contradicted himself. The
police believe that the manner In which
he was abandoned indicates that the
men who held him for ransom also had
something to do with the abduction Of
Tony Mannino more than a year ago.
The Manino boy was abandoned on a
ferry and could give the authorities no

START WORK ON
NEW COAST LINE
BEGINS TROLLEY SYSTEM TO
SAN FRANCISCO
Construction of New Electric Road
From Santa Monica to Santa Bar
bara Is misunderstanding
Cars a Feature

Construction of a new electric rail-
way line which will eventually connect
Los Angeles with San Francisco by an
extensive trolley system was begun at
Santa Monica yesterday.
The new system will be known as the
Hueneme, MaIibu & Port Los Angeles
railway. The company is incorporated
for $1,0OO,00O and is headed by Mrs May
Rindge, who is president of the road.
H. w. Lemcke is general manager
of the new system, and he has estab-
lished headquarters at Santa Monica.
The new electric line follows the coast
from Santa Monica north, and in Ven
tura county it will connect with the
Burson road to Ventura, thence to
Santa Barbara and San Francisco
The rolling stock has already been
ordered. Most of the cars are being
constructed in the east. The cross ties
have been contracted for by lumber
company with extensive facilities in
the north.
Several hundred yards Of track have
already been laid and a force of 200
men will be put to work in few days.
Sleeping Cars a Feature
Engineers are preparing for the work
of surveying the line from Santa
Monica to Los Angeles.
| An interesting feature of the new sys-
tenn will be the establishment of a
sleeping car system, the first of the
kind in the west. Elaborate plans for
this feature have been worked out and
eastern car companies will be asked to
bid on construction of these cars.
| 1t is intended to establish a coast line
of trolley cars that will make good time
between important points and will fur
nsh comfortable and safe transporta-
ton for passengers who wish to travel
in the night when it is cool and where
nights sleep can be had in the sooth-
ing breezes from the sea.
The sleeping car equipment is to be
modelled after the plan of the line which
now connects Indianapolis with Colum-
bus, o.
The cars are described as having a
drop partition which will give each
passenger a stateroom instead of Il
berth. There are to be no uppers, and
comfort and safety are to be the first
consideration.

THEATERS MUST
OBEY FIRE LAW
WARRANTS ISSUED FOR SIX
MANAGERS
Violators of Protective Ordinance VIII
Be Arrested and Fined Until Pre-
scrlbed Appliances Are
Installed

Six theaters have fallen under the
shadow of Building Superintendent
Backus' frown and he has given orders
10 begin legal proceedings against them
OF the grounds of violating sections of
the theater ordinance. The six thea
ters are the Casino, Broadway, Chutes,
Star, Cineograph and Lyric.
Warrants against the managers Of
these theaters were issued yesterday
and they will be hailed into court as
soon as possible. Failure to provide
fire proof curtains and equip the thea
ters with fire fighting devices is re-
sponsble for the proceedings.
The larger theaters have complied
with all the demands of the law and
provided necessary fire protection. An
amendment to the ordinance was pass
ed two weeks ago, requiring theaters
to be equipped with system of per-
forated water pipes for the protection
of wings and flies. AS soon as this
ordinance was passed the Belasco. Or
pheum and Mason theaters immediate
ly had the work done and the Burbank
and Grand theaters let contracts for
the necessary construction. The pipe
system in the Grand was completed
last night.
1t is outside the province of the build
ing superintendent to close up the play
houses that violate the ordinance but
he can see that they are brought into
court whenever he chooses and fines
imposed until they comply with every
provision of the law.
This is the first definite step from
the building superintendent office
looking to a more thorough enforce
ment of the building laws, but others
are expected to follow soon.
The next move that Mr.. Backus will
make is to see that proper and suff1-
cient fire escapes are provided on apart
ment houses.

sertion. You can have everything that

No farm animal receives greater at

or a little more, the crop of pigs, an
average Of six to litter, will number
