SAN BERNARDINO, Feb 12-There
IL q hot fight on at Mentone between
the citizens of that place and w. J.
Tench over q pipe line. The citizens,
or some Of them, want to have Tench
stop supplying them with domestic
water, claiming that the agreement
which they had with him has expired.
They threaten to disconnect the pipe
line, which will result In leaving the
entire community without a supply of
water from Tenchs well.
This morning several women made a
dash for the pipe to cut 1t, so 1t is
claimed, and a guard kept on the
ground by Tench, turned n heavy
stream on them. Then W. p. McIn-
tosh. one of the men who would like
to get rid of Tench and his pipe line,
FASTENED to town to secure the arrest
of Tench. No warrant has yet been
issued.
Tench followed to town. and securing
attorneys this morning, commenced in
junction proceedings against Mcintosh

join them from interfering with the
pipe line and to force them into sign
ing a new agreement to take water

man were found last night along the
Santa Fe railroad near Kramer. There
were no papers found on the body.
The belief is that he was miner and
had been overtaken by the train while
walking through a cut.
The entire train must have run over
the man, for he was cut into atoms,
all his bones were broken, his head
was crushed and both legs mangled.
When found the body was strewn
along the track. 1t was gathered up
and carried to Kramer at which place
the coroner held an inquest this MORN
ing.
Dennis Brown, with over S1400 in the
Hibernia Savings and Trust society of
San Francisco and small sums in the
savings banks of this city and River
side. died at the county hospital last
week and was buried as a pauper. The
discovery of his estate came about as
a result of the curiosity of another in
mate of the county hospital examining
the lining of an old coat which Brown
had given him few hours before he
died. This investigation brought to
light three bank books on the banks
mentioned. Brown had declared that
he had no money and no relatives in
this country. He made this declaration

VENICE WANTS MOTOR CARS
Business Move for Better Transport

to Pico Heights
Special to The Herald.


OCEAN PARK, Feb. 12.-Assurances
of subscriptions amounting to $4,000
toward the building of railroad with
gasoline motor cars to do the hauling
were had at a meeting Of representative
business men which assembled at Ven
ice this morning for the purpose of dis
cussing the question of cheaper trans
portation. The plan as considered Is
to construct a line direct from an IN
termediary point in the bay district,
presumably Ocean Park, direct to Pico
Heights, Los Angeles. The distance is
about nine miles and the fare over
the proposed route would not be more
than 10 cents each way.
That the present transportation IA
cilties will be improved upon at an
early date seems to be taken for grant
ed here. Already several schemes,
each backed with the necessary capt.
tai, are being sounded, and 1t looks
as if the Kinney company has aban-
doned for good it's long, inconsequential
fight with the Los Angeles-Pacific in
tereSts.
About $50 members of the leading
trade organizations of the state of
Washington will be entertained at
special reception at Venice, now being
arranged for by the secretary of the
Kinney company, Walter r. Wheat.
The delegation is expected to arrive
during the early part of next month.
The Ellery concert at the auditorium
was pleasantly interrupted between the
seventh and eighth numbers this even
ing by an eloquent address on the life
and deeds of A braham Lincoln, deliV-

The past few months have seen much

a handsome park. The park committee
appointed by the city trustees met with
excellent success in securing funds for

e. Hampton has given $50, the Bartlett

others have promised assistance. 1t is
estimated that about $500 in all has
been donated.

Armour, Mrs w. Vernon Booth and
Mrs. Henry c. Lytton.
Mrs. Armour, believing Reed to be a
worthy object of charity, has given
him about $3.50 in the last three years.
Mrs Booth and Mrs Lytton also con-
tributed generously and a score Of
other wealthy women were on Reeds
list under the title of "easy marks"
Not one of the women who from time
to time had befriended Reed has ever
seen him. He got their money through
letters, in the writing Of which he is a
postmaster.
Once Mrs. Armour received a pitiful
letter from Reed, saying that he was
without funds to bury his child. She
felt so sorry that she sent him check
for $50
A few months later she got another
letter that caused her to open her purse
and send him $25.
That time Reed wanted to go into a
small business. He described himself
as helpless cripple.
