While the offices of the California

supplying pamphlets and information
regarding the various counties and
districts Of the State, they have
been able so far to only partially

the Supervisors get out a line OF in

According to his returns the immi-

LOS ANGELES. March 4.-Forty-
three persons We're injured, none fatal
ly. so far as yet known, in rear-enc
collision on the main line or the "a
cifc Electric Railroad at torty-seN-
enth street and Long Beach avenue
tonight. The remarkable feature OF
the accident was that q score or more
persons were not instantly killed.
The Long Beach flyer which leaves
Los Angeles shortly after O'CLOCK
was delayed for some cause and lost
considerable time. II was followed
closely by a car bound for wilmington
and San Pedro.
Near the Fortv-seventh street cross
ing the trolley OF the Long Beach car
siipDed of the wire. The car was LETT
in darkness. but the red tail lights
were burning.
The san Pedro car. running at more
than thirty miles an hour, came within
sight Of the stranded car when only q
few lengths distant but a torrent OF
rain had prevented the crew from see
ing the danger. The motOrman re-
versed his motors so quickly that ne
gearing was stripped of the wheels
and so slippery was the track that al
though the emergency brakes grippeo
the wheels until they ceased TO reVolVe,
the heavy car slid along the track and
struck the rear end Of the other car
with such terrific force that the cars
were partly telescoped.
Most Of the injuries consisted OF
bruises from being hurled violently
against the seats and cuts from flying
glass.
Assistance reached the injured pas
sengers almost Immediately. Several
physicians were on a car, which ar
rived within a few minutes after the
accident
The injured were placed on special
cars and brought back TO Los Angeles
Later most Of them We're sent TO their
homes in Long Beach and San Pedro
only the more seriously injured being
taken TO the various hospitals Of this
city.

BECAUSE OF STRIKE
Demand for Eight-Hour Day
Not Met in the Black
Hills.

Deadwood. S. D.. Jan. BY ,omor-
row morning eight mining companies.
all producers. will be closed Indefinitely
by the demand for the eight-hour day,
which the operators We're unable to
meet.
The miners union of Terry had an
nounced its decision thai none of its
men hould work after today unless the
change in hours was granted and last
evening the millmen of Deadwood.
where four of the mills are located,
took the same action.
This means that these properties,
which produced fully 81, $685. 900 last year
will all be closed down for an indefinite
time. The production would have been
largely increased during the coming
year on account of the completion of
new mills and the enlargement of old
ones. The companies which will shut
down because of this are:
The Mogul. The Golden Reward. Da-
kota, Reliance. Imperial, Portland and
clinton, Lundberg Dorr n the Wasp
No. 2.
Four of these properties are payers
and almost all of the others were in
q; good way to become SO.
The Homestake. having recently
granted the eight-hour day, is not af-
fected by this controversy.
