friends Edward G. Burns, a lifeguard

ed today with diamond studded solid
gold and handsomely engraved watch

milton of his bravery on August II,

tions, he rescued Paul Conway, Los
Angeles youth. from drowning. Con-
way was more than 200 feet from shore
and helpless when Burns reached his
side on the day of the rescue, and
both men were eventually dragged up
from the surf more dead than alive.

with an appropriate reference to the
occurrence by the manager of the bath
house, j. A. Bleakley. The facts of the
rescue have been forwarded to the
Carnegie hero medal commission.

the vegetable wagon she dropped the
money and when she returned to pick
it up a man who was driving by in a
cart calmly alighted. pocketed the bill
and drove off. He evidently heard Mrs.
Cole call to him, for he turned about
in the cart and laughed at her.

PASADENA. Sept. 26--Therc Will be
chariot races at the coming tournament
of roses on next New Years day. This
was determined upon at the meeting of
the executive committee Of the board
of directors held late this afternoon.
Last year. as many will recall, there
was a frightful accident during the
first heat of the chariot races In which
IG. r. off was nearly killed. That he
escaped without serious injuries was
merely luck.
Because of this accident agitation
was started by some to eliminate the
dangerous sports. The matter of con-
tinuing the chariot races as the feat
ure of the Tournament park events was
taken up and discussed by the members
of the executive committee of the
Tournament association and 1t was dis
covered that every member of the COM
mittee Is in favor of the races.
There Is probably no event in the
sporting world, not excluding the big
auto races, ~in which there are more
thrills to the square inch than in these
New Years !, chariot races. Nearly
every year some magnificent team of
four horses hitched to a springless
chariot dashes madly around the half
mile track in a wild runaway.
Lassoed by Cowboy
on New Years day 1905 offs team
also bolted. That time they were
chased by cowboy who lassoed them
and saved their driver. Last New
Years day this same cowboy attempt
ed to again check Offs four when they
started to run. He bumped into the
team too hard, throwing the horses. In
a trice the end of the pole of the char
lot was buried in the track and the
chariot itself hurled in the air, throw
ing the driver to the track and nearly
dislocating his neck.
All this happened in front of the
grand stand and those who saw the
affair got their moneys worth If thrills
count as the maddened four, now freed
from the chariot, dashed around the
track while with changing bell an am
bulance was hurried to take the un-
conscious Off from the path of the
rushing horses.
One thing is very probable this year
and that is that every driver will have
to undergo a. physical examination be-
fore he will be allowed to compete. In
order to drive a team Of trained racers
four abreast 1t takes an arm like that
of Hercules. The races this year will
probably see only men entered who
could nearly hold a cyclone.

PASADENA, Sept. 26.-The man who
chased another across West Colorado
street some nights ago, using a knife
to speed his fleeing adversary has
been located and arrested.
His name is John Kohn, and while
he admits having had trouble with
Bidwell Hamm, the other party to the
difficulty, he denies that he had a
knife in his hand.
Spectators say, however, that Kohn
was armed and made great flourish of
his knife before he tripped on the car
tracks and fell. thus terminating the
chase.
Kohn was taken before Justice Klam-
roth this afternoon He entered a plea
of not guilty and was released on $3.50
bail. his employer going his bond.
The trial is set for Saturday morning,
when Kohn will have to answer to a
charge of assault.

other characteristic beliefs. but this Is
one Of the most prominent.
They believe in the complete separa-

not permitted 10 interfere with state ar

They have no religious ceremonies. and
consider themselves responsible to God,
