CHILDREN VISIT
WOUNDED WOMAN
FOR FIRST TIME MRS. BEGGS
CHATS WITH THEM
Victim of Frenzied Husband Declares
She Is Sorry She Did Not Get
Divorce When He Was
Jailed

Mrs Nellie Beggs, who was shot by
her eX-convict husband, R. C. Beggs,
is slowly recovering from her. wounds,
and if additional complications do not
set in she will probably recover.
She is not yet out of danger, and the
surgeons, although pleased and encour-
aged by her present condition, do not
feel positive that she will recover.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Beggs was
visited by her three children, and as
their mother was able for the first
time to talk with them, they feel con-
fident that she will recover.
In speaking about the dreadful affair
yesterday Mrs. Beggs said:
There is only one possible reason
that l can think of which would give
my husband any cause to even be
angry with me last Wednesday, and
that surely would not be reason for a
man to shoot his wife. Tuesday morn
ing 1 saw my husband present note
at the health Office, and as / had some
$40 due me there, l thought he might
have been trying one of his forgeries
on me. So 1 asked him if he had re-
ceived my money. He denied having
received it, and although know he
signed for it, l do not know if he was
paid my salary.
How She Was Shot
II think he remembered this, for he
acted a little strange Tuesday after
noon when he went for buggy ride.
"Wednesday when he came into our
home he was under the influence of
liquor. and as he entered he leered at
me and said. Washing, are you?' And
the next thing after that L turned to
face him and his revolver was within a
few inches of my face, and he uttered
an oath as he fired.
"He shot twice and then started to
leave the room when he turned toward
me saying, L might as well finish the
job, and then shot twice more.
HE went into the next room, where
| thought he would shoot himself. l
suppose that 1 have been a very fool
ish woman to live with a husband who
had been a thief and a forger but at
the time of his crimes l had little
children and did not wish to bring any
notoriety on them by suing for a di-
vorce. L wish ! had gotten q divorce
from him then and would not have to
suffer these four awful wounds"
The police have not found Beggs,
and no one has seen the man since the
day of the tragedy.
Mrs. Beggs seems to think he might
have gone to San Francisco, where he
has brother, while Chief Auble thinks
the man has probably committed sui
eide i'm some suburban place.

GREAT INCREASE
MADE IN VALUES
CITY ASSESSOR COMPLETES
RETALIATION TASK
Estimates Property Is Worth Thirty
. five Million Dollars More Than
Before-Wil Add Much to
ctys Revenue

City Assessor Evan Lewis has COM
peted the revaluation of property in
Los Angeles, a task he has been work.
ing on since last August. and con-
servatively estimates the increase in
value at $35,OOO,OOO He admits this is
a low estimate, but believes this will
place him on the safe side.
The greatest increase in values has
been found in the foothill districts.
Former assessors valued property in
these districts at an average of $25
a lot. Mr.. Lewis found property SELL
ing readily at an average of $4,000 q
lot in these places and promptly re-
adjusted the figures on his assessment
books.
Changes in Sixth Ward
In building activity the Sixth ward
takes the lead over all other districts
in the city, more homes having been
built there since the last revaluatior
than in any other district in the city.
Property in the Sixth ward is rapidly
rising in value in consequence of the
activity in the ward, and the assess
ment figures have been materially
changed for that district.
The greatest increase in property
values has been in the Third ward.
This ward takes in most of Broadway
and other portions of the business
district, and the prices now demand
ed for business frontage are out of
all proportion to the old figures on
the assessment rolls.
Altogether when the next assessment
is levied Los Angeles will have near
ly half a million more in revenue from
the revaluation alone,s without the i'm
provements that will be made before
that time,

GOOD SALT RISING BREAD
Explicit Directions for Making This
Bread Famous in the Day of
-, Our Grandmothers.

One pint of new milk, half pint OF
water, a teaspoonful of salt, one OF
sugar and cooking soda the size OF
a large pea. This should be heated
to a temperature of about 80 degrees
Fahrenheit; stir into this one table
spoonful Of corn meal and flour
enough to make a stiff batter; stir
well. Any vessel holding about a
gallon may be used, but one of stone,
china or porcelain is best. Place the
vessel containing this mixture in q
Kettle of hot-not scalding-water,
so that the vessel will barely rest
on the bottom of the kettle, but not
turn over. Cover closely, and leave
where the kettle of water will keep
quite warm, but not scalding, for sew
eral hours. This should be done at
night. If your o will keep quite
warm all night, the rising" should
be set late, but if the room gets cold
during the night, it should be set
earlier in the evening, or, at worst,
it may be set in the morning 1t will
probably be up" in the morning,
if set at night; or 1t may be only
partly SO; or it may run over"
III not risen satisfactorily, add a tea
warn the water in the kettle again,
and replace the vessel and keep warm
until it rises, which should be in
three or four hours. Have ready two
or three quarts of sifted, warm flour
in the bread tray; make a hole in the
center of it, put in a t~easpoonful of
salt, a teacupful of very hot water,
n pint of milk, and stir very thor
ougnly into a smooth batter. To this
add The ferment Tor e%mptyings) when
light and frOthy, and again stir thor
oughly. There will be a rim of flour
all about the batter, and it should be
drawn from all sides over the top of
it, covering the batter with -four.
Cover this closely, and let set in a
warm mot hot) place until the frothy
batter breaks through the flour on top
of it abundantly, which. should not be
longer than an hour. With the hand,
work[the rest of the flour into the
sponge, knead until the dough is per-
fectly smooth and elastic; mold into
lo3ves put into we'll creased pans and
set in a, warm place to rise. The tops
of the loayes should be smeared with
melted butter, and wnen it is nearly
level with the top of the pans, put
IN to an oven which should be hot
|ough to lightly scar the top of the
af III five minutes, but should not
egin to brown. or harden them for
minutes. The oven should gradu-
ly cool after the first 20 minutes, SO
inside1of the loaf may cook, with
burning the crust.
After the bread is done, do not
lieave in the pan to sweat, but turn
out ct once; a perfectly clean hard
wood table is a good place to lay
the loaves on. When nearly cold,
wrap in a nice. clean cloth and put
into a closed tin box or stone jar
