M0T0RMAN HAS AN ATTACK
OF HEART FAILURE
Passengers Horrlfled to See Body Top
pie and Fall Under Wheels Of
EIeetric-Vlotm Is
Dummy

A score of big officers with shiny stars
and awe-inspiring revolvers, with war
rants and other legal documents, are
busily searching the town over for two
fertile minded youngsters, who, Thurs
day night, with malice aforethought
and with intent to disturb the peace
and dignity of the people OF the state
of California, wilfully and maliciously
placed a dummy figure In front of a
Washington street car, thereby causing
a disturbance.
The result of the boys prank has very
nearly caused several people to collapse
with nervous prostration, while Deputy
Constable Holman, who was on the
car at the time, Is suffering with a
badly skinned nose as a result of his
collision with the safety bar.
The peace disturbance occurred on
South Figueroa street, just south Of
Pico, Thursday night while the north
bound Washington street cars were
crowded with theater-goers
Make LlfeIlke Dummy
Somewhere back in their mass of gray
matter two lads of the neigh borhood
had fathered the idea of causing much
distress to street car employees. Earlier
in the day they had secured a suit Of
old clothing, had packed the hollow
legs OF tne trousers WIN SIrdW anu ntu
filled out the coat until it looked like
II might be covering the portly dimen-
sions of an alderman.
A CHASTITY resemblance to a head had
been found in a stuffed pillow slip, and
a face painted in. On top of the head
a derby was securely pinned and the
victim was ready.
On two occasions the lads held the
limp body high over the trolley wire
by means of rope to drop it in front
of rapidly approaching cars. In both
instances the motorman thought they
were having the nightmare, when, after
seeing a body plunge to the track, they
stopped the car to go back and discover
that there were no mangled remains.
But the sport became too tame for
the lads and they planned the greatest
achievement of their careers. Taking
the body in their arms they lurked in
