ABALoNE FISHERMEN UN-
EARTH MAHOGANY CASE
Discovery Recalls Tradition of Feud
Between Spanish Grandees
With Awful Deed as
Climax
Special to The Herald.

Special TO The Herald
SAN PEDRO, July 5.-A most curious
discovery was made at Deadman's
island by two fishermen today.
Albert Fontuoa and Chester Howard
two abalone fishermen of san Ctemente
island came over in their boat Monday
to spend the Fourth OF July. They ex-
pected to get away early this morning
for their island home, but were de-
layed until nearly noon, when they
made the start. The wind being dead
against them they got only as far as the
channel at noon and there made q
landing at Deadman's island to eat their
lunch and make their coffee before again
starting on.
The two men concluded to have a
fire and, as there was considerable
wind, they dug a small trench to lay
the sticks in. AS the very last IN
tended shovelful was being taken out
Fortuoa struck something with the
spade and he continued digging until
he had unearthed a mahogany box
about eighteen inches square which was
securely padlocked. The rust of years
had so eaten the iron that 1t fell open
with a slight blow of a stone, disclos-
ing a mans skull, the wrist and fingers
of human hand. A much rotted cloth,
which resembled red satin and looked
as though it might have been an altar
cloth at some time, many years ago,
was also in the box.
A closer inspection showed nothing
Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-06
FIND SKULL AND JEWELED HAND
In BOX ON DEADMAN'S ISLAND

except that on the second finger of the
hand was q fine gold ring with the two
letters IF. c." engraved thereon. When
the bones Of the hand we're lifted UP
the Jewel which had adorned It In life,
probab bly, a century or more ago, fell
off among the stones and came near
being lost. Both the skull and the hand
were pronounced by experts as belong
ing at some time to a white man, or
at least, not to an Indian.
Recalls story Of Grsndees
Some of the oldest inhabitants were
appealed to TO give some Clew to the
grewsome find. 1t Is well known that
many bodies have been buried on this
island in times past, but it was sup
posed that they had either all been
taken up or else that the encroaching
waters had taken them out to sea.
There is an old story that somewhere
about the middle of the last century
there was a feud between two Spanish
grandees living near here and that for
many years they did not speak. AT
masquerade ball one night the younger
of the two, disguised and unknown to
the other, had friend introduce him
for n Joke and they shook hands. When
the elder man found out what had hap
pened a day later he swore that the
hand of the other man should be sew
cred from his body while alive and that
he himself would bury it where 1t would
never be found. Later the act was said
to have been committed and the hand
buried. The name Of the victim was
Francisco Carlina and his remains were
later inferred in the Catholic cemetery
at the old mission in Ventura county
and are marked with the name and date
of death on wooden slab plainly visi-
BILE today 1t is suspected that the
hand found by the fishermen today is
his, but where the skull came from is
not explained.
A strong ihducement to part with the
find was offered the fishermen, but they
considered 1t an omen of good luck and
positively refused.

HALF HOLIDAY
CITY ATTORNEY RULES THAT
OLD LAW HOLDS
Pasadena City Hall VIII Close
Saturday Afternoons During
the Three Summer Months.
Crown City Notes
Pasadena Agency
i6h East Colorado Street
Telephone Main 7o2.

PASADENA, July 5.--City Attorney
]. Perry Wood rendered an opinion to-
day to the effect that the city officials
and employees at the city hall can have
their customary Saturday half holidays
during the months of July, August
and September.
For a month past there has been
much perturbation OF spirit among
these employees for the reason that a
recent ordinance adopted by the city
council during the Judge Fitzgerald
regime was believed to put an end to
these half holidays as it did to leaves
of absence from official duties with
pay.
The ordinance gave a list of holidays
and did not name the regular Saturday
afternoons during the summer months.
The matter was referred to the new
city attorney some days ago for an
opinion, although there seemed to be
no hope of receiving the half holidays
without additional legislation
Today's opinion, however, holds that
the holiday ordinance was not intended
to cover. and does not cover, the time
honored custom of Saturday half holi-
days.
Therefore the custom followed in
former years will be resumed at once
and the city hall will be closed on Sat-
urday afternoons.
Crown City Notes
Many Odd Fellows from neighboring
lodges were here tonight to assist in
the installation of the new officers of
Pasadena lodge, No 324. A banquet
followed the ritualistic work.
Postmaster Wood reports that during
the fiscal year ending June 80 the local
office showed a gain of II per cent in
the amount of business. The figures
for the past year are $630S3. During
the last quarter the business gained %
per cent over the corresponding quart
er last year.
Mrs. II. Maria Sherman, wife of Rev.
Roger Sherman, died yesterday at her
home in this city after long and pain
full illness from cancer. She was presi-
dent of the Womens Home and For
eign Missionary Society of Southern
California. When her husband accepted
the pastorate of the Advent Christian
church in this city eighteen months
ago she accompanied him. The funeral
will be held Sunday at the Advent
church and will be conducted by Rev.
W. r. Chandler of Tropico. The re-
mains will he taken to Weymouth,

FIRECRACKER TEARS BIG
HOLE IN BOYS TONGUE
Special to The Herald.


LONG BEACH, July 5.-Among the
accidents which occurred yesterday in
this city one of the most peculiar was
that of which Vernie Mcclure, 5 years
old, was the victim. After lighting a
firecracker near his home, 1926 Court
drive, and throwing it on the ground,
he concluded that the expected explo-
sion was not forthomcing and decided
to make 'fzzler" out of the thing.
Just as he placed it between his
teeth TO bite it in two, the cracker ex-
ploded, tearing a hole through the boy S
tongue and lacerating the member Sc
verely. The wound will be painful for
some time.
Hurt in Runaway

pastor of the First Congregational
church, was driving with Mrs. Speer
down Cedar avenue last night toward
