TEN OIL CARS
COIN THE
DITCH
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BANNING. Oct. 29.-In a freight
wreck at Cabazon about six miles east
of Banning, ten oil cars are in the
ditch.
No one is injured, but the equipment
is badly disfgured.
The train was running about forty
miles an hour when a broken wheel be-
meath an oil tank allowed the front end
Of this car to leave the track, followed
by four Others, which fell across the
track and five others alongside the
track, the contents running down the
side of the track in a stream.
The wreckng crew arrived from Los
Angeles at o'clock and report it will
take ten to fifteen hours to clear, as
they will be compelled to build shoo-
fly track. All passenger trains are be-
ing held, as the main track is blocked.
Cars are strewn over the field about
300 feet. One car was almost buried
and the other nine are twisted out of
shape and free from their trucks.
1t is impossible to save the oil, and
as the cars are very heavy under the
load IL VIII probably be necessary to
unload them before they can be picked
up. In this case the entire contents
will be wasted. The wreck occurred
about / O'Clock this afternoon.

a fine of $4,000 to the state of Ohio for

within the province of the court to i'm
pose fines aggregating $6,o0O,OOO
In the probate court today Judge
Banker imposed the smaller amount t
as fine for carrying on an illegal COM

amount represents the limit for one

vides that for each day the Illegal

be imposed as a separate offense. it
was possible for the company to be

!. SANTA MARIA, Cal. Oct. 29.-The
little village of Nipomo, about five
miles from Santa Maria, was startled
by an atrocious murder this after
noon.
Mrs. Lawrence HOuriman, with her
two young daughters, was out in the
cornfield back of their ranch house
husking corn about 4:30 O'clock.
They Were accosted by a man whom
they think to have been Nat Hartnell
a butcher. who formerly worked for
Mr.. Houriman.
They paid no attention to him, not
realizing that he was calling to them.
A man in an automobile in the road
near by heard a shot fired and look
ing up saw a man running and one
of the girls lying on the ground.
He fired at the fleeing man, but did
not succeed in hitting him. He ran
to the three women in the field and
found the eldest daughter, aged 16
on the ground, dying, with bullet
hole through her head.
The mother and sister were in such
a dazed condition that they could
give no account of the tragedy.
A large posse of men are out with
the stricken father at its head search
ing for the murderer.
Warrants are out for Nat Hartnell
the supposed murderer.

no response has yet been received:
"Bla ckfoot, Idaho, Oct. 29.-To Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt, Washington:

Secretary Taft to Boise, Idaho, to
speak for Governor Gooding in behalf

are entirely misinformed.
mo law or order campaign is being
waged in Idaho. The sole issue is
against the domina tion of the Mormon
church in our politics. The only ques-
tion discussed by leaders of both par
ties is the Mormon question. The at
titude of Governor Goodng in regard
to what is called law and order is not
an issue.
II assure you that you have been
misinformed and that 1t will be under
stood that Secretary Taft will be sent
here to speak in behalf of Mormonism,
as that is the sole issue in the Idaho
campaign. You can call on the United
States district judge, attorney. mar

verify my statement that the only
issue in Idaho is Mormonism. Law and

PALTRY FINE is IMPOSED
The Standard Oil Company, as Usual,
Slides Out oe a Tight
Place
BY Associated Press.

FINDLAY, O.. Oct 29-In the pro-
bate court here today Judge Banker
overruled the motion filed by attorneys
of the STANDARD Oil company for a new
trial and imposed a fine of $4,000 and
costs of the prosecution In the recent
suit against the Standard Oil company
here.
On motion of the defense the court
ordered that the defendant company
be allowed forty days in which to pre-
pare and file its bill of exceptions in
the case, and on another motion by
the STANDARD Oil authorities Joseph
Troupe of Bowling Green, o., and S.
H. TolleS of Cleveland, the sentence
imposed was ordered suspended for a
period of sixty days for the purpose of
filing q petition of error in this case.
II was also ordered that the GRIM
inal information pending against John
d. Rockefeller, the Buckeye Pipe Line
company and the Manhattan Oil COM
pany be continued until the next term
of court.
The fine imposed by Judge Banker
is the limit for one offense, though the
law stipulates that each day that the
illegal combination business is carried
on constitutes a separate offense.
Taking this view of the statutes, it
was possible for the court to impose
an aggregate Of fines amounting to
over 6,000,000.

the entire state. He WAS born in the
ty-four years ago. both his parents be-
ing descendants of prominent Virginia
families. His father was pioneer
and wealthy farmer of Ohio. The boy
received the. ordinary pioneer country
education, going to school off and on
till he was Is years of age. At that
time he was apprenticed to wood
turner and in this business he re-
mained for many. years. Many years
of faithful service for his employer
were rewarded by a place in the firm.
Was Gold Seeker
But in 1S49. when the lure of the gold
attracted hundreds Of young men from
the east, he joined an expedition be-
ing formed by Colonel Holister, and
In 1852 began the weary march across
the continent.
Two years later he entered the little
village of Los Angeles, a tired, penni-
less lad. The craving for gold had
left him and he began to look about
for some occupation.
His early training inclined him to
the furniture business, and having
been loaned money for living expenses
he opened his store. Much of the stock
was made by his own hands, and the
rest bought on credit in San Fran
cisco.
After working year at the cabinet
making trade he organized a company
under the name of Perry & Brady.
When his partner died MIR. Perry Joined
the firm of Wallace Woodwork. The
new concern had a large trade and
business prospered. Their firm set up
the first steam engine in Los Angeles.
After several years as furniture fac
tory the concern became a lumber yard
and mill. When Mr.. Woodworth died
the firm name was changed to the w.
H. Perry Lumber and Mill company.
Although fire burned out the plant. 1t
did not check the indomitable spirit
of the owner.
But it was not only in the furniture
and lumber business that Mr. Perry's
name has become known throughout
the state. Extensive holdings in real
estate have made him a prominent fig
ure in the city and he was large
stakeholder in the Nevada bank and
the Union Trust company of San Fran
cisco and a director of the Farmers
and Merchants bank of Los Angeles.
Many other financial institutions
claimed his services in other capacities.
His ability also found profitable
field in the Development of oil prop
critics. The versatile capitalist had eX-
tensve interests in the Kern Oil COM
pany the Western Union Oil company,
the Reed and the Slocum companies.
Mr. Perry showed his shrewd busi-
ness acumen when he secured a fran
chise for the Los Angeles Gas COM
pany. Though he sold it in 1870. the
price he received gave him funds to
pursue other important ventures. To
him belongs the credit for the founding
of the Los Angeles Water Works COM
pany. He was made president of the
concern in 1872 and retained that office
till 1902, when the city purchased the
property for 100000.

947 Normandic avenue, yesterday es-
capped from her mothers side long
enough to gain the chicken corral in

little girl was drowned,
The golden haired baby was the pet
of the neighborhood. The mon and
women of that section had watched
with interest as little "Tootse" man
aged her first steps, holding to her
mothers dress and gurgling out her
enjoyment of everything in general
as she toddled along. They had re-
ioiced with her in her successes at
mastering the more difficult steps and

bump on the sidewalk told of one more

baby to play about in the back yard.
The youngster toddled up and down
calling to her pets and humming the
strange little calls of ba byland.
Then she became tired and with a
dozen grains of wheat clutched in tn .
fair little hand she toddled toward
where the chickens were industriousiy
scratching.
The little voice lifted again in the

tossed out the grains of wheat to the
hungry fowls.
Whether the chickens frightened the
baby by their dash for the grain or
whether she became disnterested and
went elsewhere in search of adventure

As 1t was, the restless little moccasins
led her toward tub partly filled with

rested on the baby head for a moment
as though bestowing a kiss OH the
golden curls. Then the little beam
danced on and glittered on the sur

laughed her delight.
A little fist stretched forth to catch
the sunbeam, one tiny foot lifted ever
so little from the ground and then the
other and ileeting cloud COVERED the
face of the grim old sun from he thing
that was about to happen. The sum
beam disappeared and the laby lin

There was a slip and the little body

tub and lay still.
