And now Jack London is adding his
loud voice to that of the other Social
lists and anarchists in wild threat
that "if Meyer and Haywood are SEN
fenced to be hung it will take the whole
army of the United States to carry out
the sentence" London is no worse
than the Los Angeles brand of free
takers who made similar threats. But
it is the acme of foolishness. 1t would
only require very small section of the
United states army to scare off this
fierce throng of reds, who wouldn't t
shoot off a irecracker if anybody
should happen to be looking at them.
AS for Jack London, he is merely ad-
xertising himself, as usual.

HOLLYWOOD MAN Is
FINED IN COURT
H. H. WEIGH FOUND GUILTY OF
DISTURBING PEACE
Defendant Explains to Court His Ac-
ton in Slipping Revolver From One
Pocket to Other While on Electric
Car

H. H. Welch, one of the wealthiest
lemon growers of Southern California,
was fined $25 yesterday by Justice
Young in the township court, after a
jury of five men had returned a ver-
dict of guilty to the charge of disturb
ing the peace, brought against Welch
by the Los Angeles-Pacific Railroad
company.
Welch was elected from a car of that
division in Hollywood on the night of
February 8, and since that time the
rancher has been preparing a vigorous
defense against the company.
Welch's story yesterday was as fol-
lows:
Il had been spending the evening
in Los Angeles at one of the theaters
with my wife and my daughter. |
admit that / had been having a rather
jolly time with a friend during the
intermissions of the play, but l knew
how to take care of myself 1 got on
board a Hollywood car and we started
home. The man who was sitting next
to me on the front of the car made
some kind of offensive gesture in my di-
rection and I told him what L thought
of him. We had a few words and one
word led to another and 1 used strong
language, but L never said anything
obscene.
Jury Finds Man Guilty
"When it came time for me to get
off the car L slipped my revolver from
my hip pocket to my side pocket as
always do, because L have several
blocks to walk.
The conductor told me to get of
the car and l said l had paid my fare
and would take my time about it, ano
then he knocked me off and | struck
on my head and sustained severe in
juries. | was carried to my home anc
later attended by a physician"
A number of witnesses appeared fol
the plaintiff They stated that Welch
had used strong language and that he
had slipped his gun from one pocket tc
the other as he started to leave. but
some of them had failed to see Welct
thrown off the car
Welch agreed that jury of five mer
should try the case, and after receiving
instructions from the court the mer
retired to their room.
They remained there more than two
hours before returning the verdict OF
guilty.
Welch was warned not to repeat the
offense and was fined $25, which he paio
from his bail money.

BOWLING WON FIRST GAME
Woosters Prove Themselves Great Finishers and Win First Game
 For Championship.

The Woosters won the first gania for the city championship last evening by defeating the Casinos in well played bowling game on the Wooster alleys. It was nip and tuck match from beginning to end. On the first string the Woosters led their oppon- ents by only nine pins. In the second string the Casinos took a squirt and at the close the Casinos took the lead by seventeen pins. This woke up the Woosters and in the last string the.. simply ran away from the Casino team, passed the seventeen lead and won out the game with lead of sey- enteen pins. Both teams played un der strong nervous strain.
 The biggest crowd of spectators that has ever attended bowling game i,. this city was present last evening. Many people were turned away before the game started. So crowded were the rooms that the spectators were sit ting on the tops of the two dressing rooms and in every little corner where they could squeeze themselves. The Woosters wanted the game and want
 ed it badly and the victory was a pleasant one for the team. Olson was the most nervous man of the bunch and his score last night was the worst he has ever done in team match. He says that when the teams next meet he will make amends for his failure of last night. One week from Mon
 day night the Woosters will play the ! strong New Haven team which wor the championship of the state las' year and whose members are fighting for that title his year. The score Oi las nights game was as follows:

bound valley. traversed by several beaver dams.
 For several days thereafter beavers were taken, and then for some time the traps were daily found empty. Eventually No Shirt discovered strange moccasin track on the bank of the stream. and concealing himself in an adjoining bramble watched the traps throughout the night Just be- fore dawn he caught view of a Chey- enne warrior stealthily approaching one of the dams. After removing ( beaver from trap. the thief was about to retire, when the Crow fired at him. infiicting a wound that felled him to the ground. The wounded man. how ever. sprang to his feet a moment later and quickly disappeared among the trees of the adjoining forest
 The discovery that the traps had been despoiled made it evident to the Crows that camp of poachers was not far away, and soon after No Shirt had returned he started out with Swift Elk to locate it Acting upon the the ory that the wounded warrior had led his pursuer away from the camp rather than towards it, they began to exam' inc the sheltered valleys in the oppo- site direction, and eventually stum- bled quite unexpectedly late one even tus upon the object of their search.
 A Cheyenne warrior hailed them as they came into view. and beckoned them to advance As they came for ward another warrior wrapped in a blanket and lying upon the ground. raised himself upon his elbow to look at them. but catching a view of No Shirt instantly lay down again and covered his face with his blanket The momentary glance. however. that the hunter had obtained of the reclining warrior revealed the poacher who had despoiled his traps. Az the Crovs stood looking about them they dis covered a number of beaver skins staked out to dry. and al once claimed them as their stolen property.
