ATTEMPTS A HEROIC RESCUE;
REWARD Is A SKINNED NOSE

the shadows near the tracks and
waited.
A few moments later when a north
bound car, filed with theater-goers
hove into sight, the two little scamps
approached stealthlly and crouched in
the darkness.
Attempts Heroic Rescue
The next moment the passengers Of
the car heard the motorman give an
ear piercing shrek. In o second the
motor had been reversed with a chug
that sent the car bucking backward
and threw the passengers about as
though they were tenpins.
For out of the darkness the motorman
had seen a dark figure of a man ap-
pear. There had been a limpness about
the body suggestive of intoxcation, the
hat was pulled far down over the face
and as the glare of the headlight struck
the body the thick legs had seemed to
double UP with weariness-wlthd distress,
silent and horrible i'm every move of
the figure, the body had staggered q
moment and then plunged directly in
front of the car.
Deputy Constable Holman, who was
on the front Of the car, saw the figure
of the man as soon as the motorman.
While the motorman tore out the motor
fields by reversing, the deputy leaped
forward to sweep the body from the
track. He grasped the safety railing Of
the car but his hand slipped and he
was preclpitated on his nose in the
street, causing painful injuries.
Motorman Says Things
AS for the passengers they began to
recover breath after a few moments,
and with fear in their eyes and with
blanched faces they left the car to help
lift the remains from under the trucks.
Constable De la Monte appeared on
the scene at that time and took charge.
While others turned aside in horror he
crawled beneath the trucks. Tenderly
he lifted one of the limbs of the man
gled body and it crumbled in his hands.
About that time he made hasty exit
and later with a deputy returned to
the work.
From underneath the trucks they
pulled the battered remains of the
straw dummy and the motorman said
things uniting for the ears of the
cultured
While the officers sat down Beneath a
neigh boring light and began to fill out
John Doe warrants charging disturbing
the peace, the motorman climbed back
on his car and the passengers returned
and the wheels began to grind, and out
of the darkness came the sound of
laughter, tenor and baritone, and the
officers with rage in their hearts start
ed out to run down elusive clews.

FIRE DEPARTMENT RESIGNS

Property Is Endangered
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Aug. 10.-The formal dis
bandment of the volunteer fire depart
ment, in so far as effects the city gov
ernment, was effected at meeting of
the members last evening, when it was
decided that no cognizance should be
given the action of the city council in
appointing D. d. Crist chief Of the de-
partment and that in the future the
members, as a separate organization,
would turn out only when property
owned by the Abbot Kinney company
was endangered
There is a salary of $40 per month
that goes with the job of chief, and the
council, in giving the plum to Crist,
sighted the desire of the volunteers,
who had named Joseph Falbey of the
department as their choice for the
position.
The Kinney company which has
taken a personal interest in the de-
partment to the extent of furnishing
club rooms and sleeping accommoda-
tions for the members, will continue to
be served by the volunteers, but only
as a private department and under
their own officers.
d. M. Crist, the new chief, says he
will have little difficulty in organizing
a new department fully as efficient as
the one resigned.

VENICE, Aug. 10.-Gaston Akoun,
who, with William Goldie. deceased,
established the Midway here and whose
absence for three months past has been
taken to mean that he would not re-
turn, came into town today unan-
nounced, and after getting in touch
with the Kinney company officials
stated that he had no intention of
abandoning his local interests.
His absence from Venice, Mr.. Akoun
stated, was due to his having been at
jamestown making arrangements for
an exhibit at the coming exhibition,
and at Coney Island, where he is in
terested in several amusement enter
prises. While refusing to state posi-
lively what his plans are, Mr. Akoun
intimated that he would institute a
housecleaning along the trail and that
new attractions would be arranged to
replace many of the shows now hold
ing sway there.

appear before the eyes of his devoted
wife.

peared at his home on Summit avenue,
and soon afterward came a telegram
from him to his wife. dated yesterday,
and telling of his intention to return
today. The dispatch had been delivered

WAVE MOTOR is GIVEN A TEST
Inventor Demonstrates to Party of
Newspaper Men the Workings
of His Machine
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
VENICE, Aug. 10.-A successful and
most interesting demonstration of the
workings of the Star wave motor was
given today by the inventor, Fred Star,
for the benefit of small party of news
paper representative and persons hav-
ing more than an ordinary interest in
the practicability of the motor as a
producer of energy.
Because of it's uniqueness and the
wonderful ingenuity that has marked
each detail of it's construction, the
motor has during it's building been a
source of much interest here. The parts
consist of a large float of patented
design, attached to which are four pis-
ton rods connecting with overhead ma
chinery. The riding of the float oper-
ates the rods in an easy, continuous
motion and results in the machinery
above giving results of most salts
factory and amazing nature.
The public will be invited to formal
test of the motor, to be held Saturday,
August IS, after which date the inven-
ton will be put to use for furnishing
electric power for general lighting
purposes.
