The antlered beauties, otherwise
known as the best people on earth

the Mormons, who came to Southern
California recently on an excursion
covering several days in which they
saw the sights of this section, seem
to appreciate the entertainment afford
ed them by their brother Elks in Los
Angeles.
The local lodge Of Elks in the person
of G.. Goldsmith, the chairman of the
entertainment committee, has received
letter which will be of particular in
terest to the members of the order in
Southern California.
The party from Salt Lake comprised
several hundred Elks with their wom-
en- folks, and spent a week in and
about Los Angeles as the guests of
the order here.
In acknowledgement of the hospital
ity of Los Angeles the following letter
was sent:
in acknowledgement of the bound
less beauty of your southern land, and
the tirelessness of your people in their
kindly endeavors to show us some lit
tie portion of these on the occasion of
our recent excursion, we have ad
dressed the various lodges of our itin-
erary d letter of the following tenor:
In obedience to the expressed wish
of the membership of 3d. and the unan-
imous desire of the Elks and others
who made up the 700-and-odd eXcur
sionists of this inland region to your
enchanting land a month ago, I am
tardily acknowledging our apprecia
ton of and gratitude for your un-
wearying attentions and your bound
less hospitability.
"I shall make no attempt in this
cold type description of our three
weeks stay in Gods own land to con-
vey the length, depth and breadth of
our enjoyment OF it's beauties. To some
extent, and probably to the best of our
ability, we individually acknowledged
your charm as Il place and a people
while we were among you; and 1 add
to these expressions but reiteration
of theif praise when / say for Utah
Elks and Utah people who are not of
the antlered herd, California, Southern
California: thou art the realization of
our fairest dreams of lands and climes,
as thy people are the personification
of truest and best hospitality! May
you endure forever and forever. for

of confetti, which shed white mantle
about the hundreds of people in attend

All persons entering the hall were
given an opportunity to share in win

man was C. A. Bum, who drew ticket

DEAFNESS ENDANGERS LIFE
Aged Man Walks In Front of Troll
ley at Ninth and Main
Streets

Unable to hear the changing of the
gong of an approaching electric car,
John Thorne, an aged man, deliber-
ately walked in front of a Temple
street car at Ninth and Main streets
yesterday morning and was run down.
The victim sustained an ugly wound
on the head, but it is believed that he
will recover.
Thorne lives in a shack between
Main and Hill streets on Twelfth street.
He is deaf and those who witnessed
the accident say that he walked in
front of the car, which was running
slowly or 1t is probable that he would
have been instantly killed
The motorman rang the gong and
expected that Thorne would get off
the tracks. However, the aged man
was not capable of hearing the gong
and went unconsciously into the death
trap. He was removed to his home by
car inspectors.

ANGELS WIN
SECOND GAME
SAINTS PLAY IN SURPRISING
FORM
Heavy Hitting Seraphs Are Able to
Secure but Five Hits of COL
Iege Pitcher and Win by a
Score OF 4 10

One Of the prettiest diamond contests
ever witnessed in the city occurred yes
terday on the St Vincent's college cam
pus, when the nine of that institution
was defeated by the Los Angeles team
in a fast fielding and lightning hitting
game that resulted in to 1 score for
the Angels.
The surprising feature of the affair
lay in the fact that the amateurs made
four hits to the Seraphs' five and ac-
cepted with almost equal accuracy the
chances offered them.
Phillips twirled a strong game for the
collegians and let Morley's boys off
with a quintet of bingles which should
have been good for but two runs. A
wild throw was responsible for a brace
of Angel tallies when Snodgrass' at
tempted assist at second went wild of
the base.
The throwing of the Vincentian
catcher probably cost the Seraphs sew
eral runs, for five attempts to purloin
the keystone sack failed because of the
backstop's keen arm.
Captain Dillon had three pitchers in
the box, Tozer, Bergman and Gray.
They were all in midsummer form, and
with Bobby Eager behind the plate had
the college men guessing from the call
OF time.
The Saints secured their run in the
seventh inning. Schaeffer singled, went
to second on an out to first and scored
a moment later when Phillips banged
the leather to center field for two sacks.
Although the present series is moth
ing more than a gentle warming up for
the Seraphs and they have not extended
themselves to championship effort,
game was hard fought
from start to finish and Dillon had his
men on the jump for every run they
could secure.
Should the collegians maintain the
pace at which they are going they will
experience small difficulty in success
fully defending the college champion
ship which they have held for five
years.
Another game will occur this after
noon commencing at 8 o'clock.
