HEROIC FIREMAN RECOVERING
Friends of Charles Fuselehr Glad to
Hear of Sudden Turn for the
Better

Charles E. Fuselehr, who was thought
to be dying at the California hospital,
has recovered and 1t Is expected that ne
will soon be able to leave the hospital.
The story OF Fuselehr's life is ro-
mantle one.
Four years ago he was assistant hre
chief. Driving to fire at West Temple
street he was ~"ddenly CONFRONTED py
a car that rounded the corner. There
was but an instant to decide. If he went
forward a collision seemed unavoidable
and lives would be sacrificed; II he
swerved he would be dashed against a
telegraph pole. The decision was mace
on the instant Throwing his strength
on the reins he turned the horses, his
cart was dashed to pieces and the man
was dragged four blocks by the wild
horses. His lower limbs can never DC
of use by him again, and great scars
on his body serve as reminders of the
act of heroism which caused the paraly-
lis of the lower part Of his body.

WORKERS HAVE
RACE FOR LIFE
RUN AWFUL GAUNTLET OF
FIRE
Death stares Men In Face When Gas
ExpIodes and Walls Of Ditch
Fall Behind the FueI-
tlves

Ten workmen employed by the Alison
Engineering and Construction COM
pany narrowly escaped being blown to
atoms or burned alive yesterday while
they were working in a trench ten feet
deep on West Second street, between
Toluca and Ohio streets.
Gas escaping from q broken main ex-
ploded by ignition from lighted
match, and volume of fire followed ali
explosion of great violence that caved
In the sides of the trench and shook
houses for blocks about.
Through gauntlet of fire that Tapped
the air for over 1GV yards In the deep
ditch the men ran frantically for safety
at the remote end of the ditch. Thi.
stinging flames licked and bit at the
bodies that passed through the inferno.
and several times the last man in the
line barely escaped being buried be-
meath an avalanche of dirt that tumbled
from the embankmentc.
BY lucky chance that bordered upon
a miracle all of the men escaped more
injury than slight burns by climbing
from the Toluca street end of the ditch.
The men say that while they were
digging the ditch for sewer escaping
gas was strongly detected, and the gas
company was Immediately notified. A
man was sent to investigate, and not
satisfied with the convincing odor he
felt impelled to test the presence of
gas by lighting match. The explo-
sion, which endangere the lives of ten
men and destroyed property TO the ex-
tent of several thousand dollars, re-
suited.

REPUBLICANS WHO
ARE FIGHTING WARD
CATCH A TARTAR

Colonel Emil Bloch of 116 South
Hope street has written the following
letter to The Herald, refuting charges
made against Ben Ward:
II received a circular signed by
Bradner N. Lee, chairman of the Los
Angeles county Republican executive
committee. 1 found my name in this
circular, stating that 1 circulated pc
tition in favor of Ben Ward and that
am a deputy in his office. That 1
circulated petition is true, but it is
absolutely false that 1 am a deputy
under Mr.. Wards office. 1 never have
been deputy under Mr.. Ward, nor
have ever received any pay from Mr..
Ward.
THE work that 1 am doing is volur-
tary, and I think it is an honor for
any good citizen who is for the welfare
of the city and for equal assessment
to do the best he can to have such
an honest and square officer elected
again.
1.-The circular refers to the Chicago
assessment and states that it is much
higher here than in Chicago. 1 am
an old resident of Chicago, and 1 know
better. In Chicago they take only
from one-sixth to one-eighth of the
valuation and the taxes are from six
uation. Therefore, this part of the cir
cular is also untrue, so if these two
parts of the circular are untrue, should
not the rest be untrue also? Voters,
answer this question yourself. / am
large property holder in this city and
L think it is to my interest and the
interest of all the taxpayers to have
Mr.. Ward elected with the largest
majority possible"

QUARREL OF NEGROES
HAS FATAL ENDING
ONE DIES FROM A SHOT IN THE
ABDOMEN
AssalIant Voluntarily Gives Himself
Into Custody of Police and Admits
Shootng-May Be Prosecuted for
Manslaughter, as Crime Was Hasty

w. L. Dixon, a negro employed by
the Buckeye Rubbish company, was
fatally shot yesterday at 799 Clanton
street by James Fleming, another ne
gro employed by the same concern
Dixon died at the receiving hospital
yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
from the wound. and was taken to the
undertaking establishment of Moore
& Burnett. The bullet had entered the
back, passed through the abdomen
and came out the back. 1t was found
in his clothes when the surgeons pre-
pared to probe for it.
Fleming, who later confessed the
shooting, eluded the police after the
crime, but later went to the city Jail
and delivered himself
According to Fleming, the crime
was the result of a quarrel between
the two negroes over the question of
the theft of a few glass bottles.
Fleming had collected some bottles to
sell, he said, and when they were
missing yesterday, he promptly ac-
cused Dixon OF stealing them.
Dixon is said to have struck Flem-
ing on the head with a heavy plank
inflicting a bad scalp wound, where
upon, according to Fleming's own
confession. he turned upon his assail-
ant and fired at him.
II is thought by tho police that
Flemins cannot be convicted OF a
more serious offense than manslaught-
er when brought to trial.

RETURNS MONEY; IS FORGIVEN
Old Case Recalled When Preliminary
Examination of j. r. Stefsky
ls Scheduled

]. r. Stefsky, who was recently ar
rested on a charge of stealing 1927 25
from Mrs. Ida Spencer on February 21,
was discharged yesterday at the pre-
liminary examination in Justice Cham
bers' court.
Mrs. Spencer notified the court that
she had been repaid the money by
Stefsky last June, and that therefore
she would not prosecute.
According to Mrs. Spencer's state
ment, Stefsky had been granted the
privilege of helping himself to her
money whenever he chose, and had fire.
quently taken sums of money from
the place she had shown him it was
deposited in her home. These amounts
had been taken with her acquiescenoe,
and had always been returned faith
fully.
However, last February Stefsky
helped himself to the entire amount OF
Mrs. Spencers savings and departed
for New York without leaving any
word as to his intention.
s~lfxss Spencer secured a warrant for
his arrest on charge of grand lar
ceny. In June however Stefsky re-
turned and repaid her the money
Mrs. Spencer said nothing about the
warrant, and indeed had forgotten all
about it until the examination was
called yesterday. Then she explained
the situation and begged that the prose-
cution be dismissed, which was imme-
diately done.

ROBERT LOUCKS MAKES
MOST PICTURESQUE
AND ACTIVE CAMPAIGN

Congressman McLachlan has an op-
ponent who is making a picturesque,
forceful and telling campaign.
Robert G. Loucks, the young city
attorney of Pomona, who has made
an enviable record as a fighter of cor
porations which seek to usurp the
peoples rights, is showing the people"
by making speeches from a wagon
drawn by a span of Missouri mules
loaned the congressional nominee by
Joe Simons.
Mr.. Loucks' plan of campaign at
tracts large crowds on the business
streets of Los Angeles, and it is be-
lieved by Mr.. Loucks' friends that he
is making many friends by his ex-
posure of Congressman McLachlans
work in connection with the San Pedro
harbor.
