that there was some one at his
house that wished to see him, Moody
excused himself and started home.
1t was necessary that he cross a
lot which is covered with brush and
shrubbery. When almost in front of
his gate shot rang out, and he fell
in his tracks, but rose again and
staggered to the gate. Seeing that
there was still life in their mark.
one Of the party returned and sent a
second bullet through his heart.
Anderson, who has been camping
in tent near by, was the only wit
ness. and he Immediately started in
pursuit. 1t was so dark, however. that
he could hardly see the fleeing men,
and he did not attempt to shoot, hop,
ing to trail the assassins until he
could summon aid. In crossing an
open space in the densely-coyered
prairie, one of the bandits fred, and
Anderson fell, with bullet in his
head.
Warner Moody is a son of the late
United States Senator Moody, 81

that nothing Is being carried on for.

be counted against them IN the eyes
Of the law. That is as far as the

CANVASS OF VOTES COMPLETE
Results of Recent Election Are Not
Changed by Councils Review
of Ballots

Six hours were spent yesterday by
the city council in canvassing the
votes at the recent city election.
The First and Second wards were
handled, after which a recess was
taken until 10 o'clock today.
No changes were made in the figures
which were gone over in the presence
of a large body of watchers from the
Second ward.
Contests will follow regardless OF
the returns, the friends of A. S. Van
Degrift, the defeated candidate state,
while e. A. Clampitt's friends are
equally confident that a contest will
not change the face of the returns.
Meyer Lissner of the non-partisans
declared that the canvass was only
perfunctory and that a contest would
be made after the certificates are filed.
Action must be commenced within
forty days after the returns are in.
This is done in the superior court and
will proceed Immediately after the
certificate is filed, on completion of
the canvass by the council. In view
of the contest the canvass will be
thorough. The parties to the contest
must put up the amount necessary to
pay the cost of the four tellers en-
ployed by the court in going over the
ballots. This is 500 for every day they
are employed

PASADENA, Dec. 11.-For time to-
dav it looked as though the Pasadena
school teachers would have to go WITH
out salaries this Christmas, for the
board of education has run nearly out
of funds, but this evening the smile
which cont come off has made ltS ap-
pearance, for a winer tourist OF great
wealth. hearing of the predicament, mas
offered to advance to the teachers the
money and not charge them cent 1or
the service. This man Will not alioW
the use of his name, but he is stoppiiis
at the Hotel Maryland, ana late I'M. .nls
afternoon he called up superintendent
Of Schools Graham, made to him the
formal offer and Prof. Graham has ac-
cepted 1T.
Today the board of education asked
the city council to allow some $4,000 to
be transferred from the general TO the
salary fund. This the council refused
to do, claiming that all the board mas TO
do is to wait until the tax money comes
in. In other words, the council went
on record as favoring the plan or
starving to death because food money
is carried in the right hand pocket,
which is empty, whereas there is plenty
of money in the left hand pocket, but
that is to be used for another purpose.
The humorous feature of the Whole
affair is that money has been taken
from the general fund for various pur-
noses heretofore, but even the teachers
can afford to smile at the city council
and it's advisers tonight, for transient
visitor. with a big heartfand big purse,
has come forward and solved the prop
lem.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
LONG BEACH, Dec. 11.-Folowing
the receipt of news from Washington
that the southeast corner of Second
street and American avenue has been
selected as the site for the new post
office plans for the improvement OF
this property were divulged The
corner, 50X135 feet, Is owned by. Joseph
Bangham. A fve-story steel frame
modern structure of pressed brick will
be erected, syndicate, titled the
American Avenue Building association,
having been organized for that pur-
pose with a capitalization of 100000,
one-half of which has been subscribed.
The syndicate will lease to the gov
ernment q room 30x150 feet for a term
of years dating from next June. Be-
sides this floor the postoffice will also
have the use Of a small basement. The
postoffice room will be on the corner,
while adjoining 1t on the south side
will be store rooms. The upper floors
of the building will be occupied by
offices and flats.
Under the agreement entered into,
work on the new structure must begin
by January and the building must be
ready for occupancy by the postoffice
six months later.
1t is notable that the Office has never
before been on any other street than
Pine avenue. The block in which the new
structure will be built now contains
only dwelling houses American ave-
nue. is rapidly developing into an inn
portant business street, however, being
the widest of the business streets in
the city and being traversed by the
Pacific Electric line, and there are
many who predict that it will some day
be more important business thorough
fare than Pine avenue.
The new office will be monumental
in a large degree, to the efforts OF
Postmaster George Hirsch, who has
endeavored for long time to convince
the authorities that a more modern
postofflce was a necessity here.
