Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-10

chosen. Neither have the successors
to Police Judge Wood nor Assistant
City Attorney Mcdonald, who resigned
yesterday. 1T Is generally believed
that Mr.. Brown objects to serving as
deputy without receiving deputys
salary. The policy Of the present adj
ministration appears to be the abolish
ing Of deputies and assistants as far
as possible. The city now has no as
slstant city attorney deputy assessor
and deputy auditor and no police cap
tain, positions which were deemed nee
essary by former administrations and
which entailed consequent additions to
the city salary rolls.
Kicked Him to Death
Lewis p. Bates, foreman of the
Model Grocery stables was so severe
ly injured this forenoon by a savage
attack made upon him by one of the
horses kept in the stables that he
died within three hours of the incl
dent. It appears that Bates went into
the stall occupied by horse belong
ing to the Wells Fargo company to
attend to the animal In some way
The horse must have become startled
by the move and kicked at Bates with
both hind feet, striking him full in
the left side and knocking him down.
A fellow employe rushed to his aid
and dragged him away from the horse
and removed him to the quarters above
the stables, where Bates and his wife
lived A surgeon was summoned and
announced that the man had sustained
the fracture of three ribs as well as
other internal injuries, which would
undoubtedly cause his death. Bates
regained consciousness for only a few
minutes and died at about noon.
Coroner Trout was notified at once
and set the inquest for tomorrow at
p. m. at the Reynolds & Van Nuys
funeral parlors. The deceased leaves
wife.
Oppose School Site
Tomorrow night will occur an i'm
portant meeting of the East Pasadena
Improvement association, according to
the call of President G. A. Day.
The primary matter for discussion Is
the location for the new school build
ing, which the school district voted to
build on the east side The board of
education recently announced that 1t
had decided to purchase ground on
Michigan avenue adjoining the present
site of the Grant school building on
which to locate the new building The
action was far from popular among the
property owners on the east side and
a committee waited on the board of ed
ucation at it's meeting last night and
secured a promise to endeavor to re-
consider the action should 1t be found
that the citizens generally are not
suited.
The officers of the Improvement as
sociation have invited the women Of
the neighborhood to be present at this
meeting and to express their opinions
as to the location.

position to the proposition to close the

and the project is now likely to be
abandoned. 1t is understood that there
