FALLS FROM CAR
AND BREAKS HIP
JOHN LEWIS, 90 YEARS OLD,
BADLY HURT
Tells With Pride, While Surgeons
Work on Injured Bone, Record as
Soldier and Prize
Fighter

John Lewis, old soldier and former
pugilist, aged SO, was thrown by a
Santa Monica street car yesterday
afternoon about o'clock. His left hip
was fractured by the fall. He was
taken to the receiving hospital and
cared for by Drs. Quint, Finley and
Cook.
Lewis said yesterday that he had left
the Soldiers home at Sawtelle and was
on his way to his ranch twelve miles
from Murietta. According to his story
he had told the conductor to let him off
at the corner and that the car stopped
there. He was alighting when the car
started. He was thrown to the pave
ment, and only by a quick jerk Of his
head saved it from being crushed by the
car wheel. A large blanket that was
rolled up under his arm and small
valise in one hand broke his fall.
Lewis says that he has no relatives
but that he has a ranch and plenty of
money to provide him with all the
necessary comforts of life. He bore up
cheerfuliy while his wounds were being
dressed, and to inquiries as to how he
felt smilingly replied: "Oh, I'm all
right"
Lewis was with the Fourth Michigan
cavalry when jeff Davis was captured,
and is proud of his record as a soldier
He is equally proud of telling of his
record as prize ring fighter
Fought Country Boys
He was born in Utica, N. Y, and for
tewlve years ran a horse sale stable in
New York city While there he was
trained by Yankee" Sullivan, who was
one of the famous old timers in the
ring. When country fellows with hard
muscles and broad shoulders would
come to his stable Lewis used to get
them out in a Jack stall and tr.' his
science on them.
He never fought but three battles for
money and was arrested after each
one. The old style of fighting was with
bare knuckles and a fight to a knock
out. Lewis hands show the result of
use at hard fighting.
His first fight was with an English
man inNAustralia in 184S for a $1,000
purse. Lewis won easily, he says. The
Englishman weighed POS pounds, while
Lewis weighed 1S1. He had two battles
in San Francisco in 1851 and won both
After being arrested for the third time
for fighting he decided to give up the
| game.
He came to California with the forty
miners and has spent most of his time
| in the west since.

amendment absolutely contemplates the
Incorporation of ut least one city In the

That being the case the terms Of said
section 1 Of the municipal corporation act

its present form TO a city and county con.
solidation under said proposed amended
section of article XII Of the constiiu-

that any city and county, city, or town,

provides tnat two or more contiguous
municipal interpretations may become
consolidated into one corporation after

but even were said section applicable
the contention that the smaller COM
munity could be forced into consolidation
hereunder could not be held because said
section after providing for the calling of
election provides specifically that all
votes cast In each of such corporations
shall be canvassed separately; and If 1t
shall appear upon such canvas that ma

such joint convention, by an order entered

which abstract shall show the whole

provides for the election of officers in such

AMERICAN EAGLE
DOESN' 7 SOAR
BIG AIRSHIP FAILS TO MAKE
FLIGHT
Inventor Says Gas Does Not Develop
Sufficient Buoyancy-Machinery
Works to Perfection-WiIl
Try Again

The fight of the largest airship in
America, the American Eagle, of which
P. r. Cullinan is the inventor, was to
have taken place yesterday afternoon
at 1922 East First street. The two
bags which lift the engine and frame
work were filed with city gas. but that
was not found to possess the requisite
lifting power.
The engine was geared to two propel
lors, which were fastened so as to help
lift the machine. Although the com
bined force of both could not have been
far from 100 pounds, the great ship was
not buoyant enough and did not rise
from the ground. Mr.. Cullinan has
been experimenting with several meth
DDS of making gas and the use of the
city gas was the latest experiment
He stated that in few days he would
again make the attempt, using hydro
gen. The bags were inflated early yes
terday morning, but owing to a slight
difficulty which was encountered in
fitting up the frame, the attempt at
fight was not made until nearly g
o'clock last evening.
Machinery Works Well
1t was stated by ]. Francis, who was
to have made the ascent in the ship,
that il the start could have been made
earlier the gas would have lifted the
machine, as the gas bags had cooled to
great extent by the time the start
was attempted.
The failure yesterday cannot be con-
sidered as the fault of the construc-
ton; apart from the gas bags the ma
chinery worked admirably. The aero
plane showed that they were capable
of lifting considerable weight aside
from the lift exerted by the bags.
Two bags have never before in Amer
lea been applied to an airship, and it is
believed by Mr.. Cullinan that when he
has the proper gas he will be able to
make a perfect fight. The two propel-
lors act as steering gear and also aid
In lifting the ship.
The next attempt at flight will be
made some time before July 1, and il
pure hydrogen is used there seems to
be little doubt of the success of the
invention. The framework is eXcep-
tionally light for a machine of the size
of the American Eagle, md the engine
is one of the llghtest ever made i'm Los
Angeles having sixteen horse power.

The first lesson that the young girl
has OF womanhood is usually painful
one. She learns to know what head
ache means, and backache, and some
times is sadly borne down by this new
experience Of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such a
time may, in almost every instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use
of Or. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

the general health, and cures headache,

A mothers love is so divine that the

and she is in need of q uterine tonic

her for the ordeal. No matter how
healthy or strong n woman may be she
