Creenwalt Retains HE Office.

county board Tuesday, Geo.
Greenwalt, the old member was
allowed to retain his seat as
hold over. Mr.. Roy WEIGH the
supervisor elect, was present to
claim his rights, but the old
board was three to two against
him politically, contest was
useless. Mr.. Greenwalt had filed
a hold over bond and Mr.. WEIGH
had filed his bond, both of which
were approved.
The cause of the contention is
the uncertainty of the new law
passed last winter. 1t provided
for extending the term of Super
visors and Register of Deeds one
year. Supreme Court Commits
sioner Letton, to whom the ques-
tion was referred held the law
was legal, but when his opinion
was submitted to the judges of
the Supreme Court, Chief Justice
Holcomb and Judge Barnes took
a different view, the Chief Jus.
tice handing down the decision
that the law was not constitu-
tional, Judge Sedwick dissenting.
Since then Judge Letton has
been elected Justice of the Su.
preme Court to succeed Judge
Holcomb, whose time expired the
first of the year. The holdover
officers see possible chance with
the change of the personal of the
court to get a favorable decision
and steps have been taken to
have the case reviewed by the
supreme court with the hopes of
having Judge Holcombs decision
reversed.
The situation is the same with
c. o. Lind, the outgoing regis
ter of deeds and John T. Wood,
register of deeds elect. We
understand an agreement was
entered into between the con-
tending parties in both instances
that should the former opinion
of the supreme court be sustained
the old officers will quietly va.
cate.
Should the former decision be
reversed the election of register
of deeds and supervisors will be
void and the old officers will hold
until 1907. This will require the
election of register of deeds
this fall and an entire new board
of supervisors.
The terms of G. H. Thorpe,
II. B. Schneringer, ]. T. Arthur,
and B. p. Morris will expire Jan,
!, 1907, by limitation.
The terms of A. Fonda, Joe
Fennimore, who we're reelected
last fall for two years, will only
hold over, by the terms of the
new law, for the year, their cleo
ton being void. Geo. Green
walt, although defeated for re-
election will hold over for the
year only. Thus it will be seer
that should the new law be hello
good that by the terms of limita'
ton and legislation there will BIZ

ARREST
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ALBUQUERQUE, n. M, Nov. 15.-
Lieut. Lewis and Troop X, Fifth cav
airy have arrived at Fort Defiance in
the Navajo reservation with 115 MEM
bers of the Moqui Indian tribe, living
in Craibi pueblo in northern Arizona.
The Indians were arrested and
brought as captives on account of the
serious warfare within the tribe which
has been going on for several weeks
The more enlightened of the Moqui In
dams have insisted on the introduction
of schools into the pueblo. Another
element has objected to modern ideas
with the result that open warfare
broke out.
The conservatives broke out of the
pueblo. The cavalry was ordered from
Fort Wingate to restore order. When
they arrived Lieutenant Lewis found
that the conservatives had laid siege
to the pueblo.
He was unable to bring about peace
among the factions. The Indians will
be held at Fort Defiance until order has
been restored.

Youth Falls from a
TreStle Over
Arroyo
Drops Over Seventy Feet
but Sustains Only
Scratches
Narrowly Escapes Being Run Over by
Street Car and to Save Him
self He Holds to Edge
of Bridge

To face death in two horrible forms
within a period of five minutes. to
plunge seventy feet through space from
the Arroyo Seco trestle to the ground
below and yet escape injury other than
a few bruises and scratches Such was
the experience of Roy Frame, the 90
year-old son of James Frame, 70 South
Marengo street, last night.
The elder Frame is retired from bust
ness and his son attends school in Los
Angeles. Last night the boy on his
return from Los Angeles left the car
to visit friends. and later undertook to
walk to his home. He followed the car
track until he reached the trestle over
the Arroyo Seco just west of the os-
trich farm. The trestle is about two
blocks long and spans the arroyo at
point where the gulch is seventy feet
deep.
Frame started to cross in the dark
ness. 1t was then about 10 O'clock and
when half way over he saw the CLEAN of
the headlight of car as it rounded the
curve behind him and come speeding
toward him.
In frantic attempt to escape the lad
dashed forward across the trestle. For
dozen yards or more his flying feet
caught the ties, and then in the dark
ness he slipped and one foot shot down
between the heavy timbers and he
plunged forward to his face
For a moment he lay stunned and
then managed to crawl to the edge of
the trestle and let himself down over
the edge. He could not see below him
for the intense darkness, but he knew
what was there-shrubbery trees and
sharp rocks-and he chung desperate
ly to the ties while the trestle trem-
bled and swayed with the jarring of
the cars then upon it.
For a moment more the lad MAIN
tained his hold and then suddenly his
fingers gave way, his nails tore at the
wood and with scream he shot down
ward. A passenger saw the body drop
from sight and as soon as possible an
ambulance was hurried from Pasa-
dena.
The boy was found in the brush be-
low. How he escaped death in the
depth and darkness is a miracle, but
aside from a few bruises and scratches
no injuries can be found on his body.
1t is thought that the branches of a
tree might have broken his fall, but
the youth remembers nothing from the
time he let go until he struck in the
brush and rolled over in the bed of
the arroyo.

Mayor
Grand Jury Believes Both
Guilty of Charge of
ExtOrtion
According to the Evidence Submitted,
Several Restaurant Keepers
Were Held Up for
Large Sums

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-
The grand jury this afternoon re-
turned five separate indictments
against Eugene E. Schmitz and
Abraham Ruef on the charge of
extortion. On each charge the
bail was fixed at $4,000 and $4,000
cash.
The first crime was in connec-
ton with the Poodle Dog restau-
rant and the indictment recites
that Ruef and Schrnitz demanded
money from the proprietor, Tony
Blanco.
AS this demand was made, it is
stated, on two occasions two in
dictments were returned.
Extortion declared to have been
practiced upon Ed Marchand,
proprietor of the Marchand res
taurant, is the basis of two more
indictments.
A demand made upon Joe NAL
fanti, another irestaurateur, is
the offense on which the fifth and
last indictment is founded.
The indictments were returned
for the grand jury by Foreman B.
P. Oliver, who presented the doc
uments to Judge Murasly. The
latter read them and placed them
on file. He then proceeded to fix
the bail for each charge.
