Years morning, while celebrating with
some companions. is favorable, and I'M
less there are further complications he

four companions, had marched from the

drum. on their return. at point near
the college entrance. some one In q party
of other celebrators further up the line.
fired several times. the first shot striking
Nicholson in the side.
His companions were some distance
ahead. and did not miss him. When
they did. and came to look for him, they
found him laying on the street, bleeding
profusely
With the assistance OF others, who had
been aroused by the noise. they carried
the wounded man to the infrmary, having
first called the surgeon from his home
nearby A number of young men known
to be in the party have been before the
magistrate to-day and subjected to rigid
examination as to their knowledge OF
the affair. The result OF this hearing has
not been made public yet.
It is probable that the party actually
firing the shot will be held for the grand
jury and the case referred to them for
action.
While the affair is much regretted by
every one, there Is no disposition to shield
any one found guilty, and it is .oped
that the unfortunate ending Of this nf-
fair will put an end to the careless hand
ling of firearms which has become so
prevalent.

AQUEDUCT BONDS REACH
LOS rNGELES PROMPTLY
City Officials Sign $40 One Thousand
Dollar Bonds, Which Will Go to
the State Examiners Board
at Once

BY special arrangement with the post
office department the first issue of Los
Angeles aqueduct bonds reached the Flow
er city late by registered mail Christmas
night.
Yesterday Mayor Harper signed them
and Treasurer Hance and City Clerk Le-
lande also attached their signatures at
once.
All of them are of the $1,000 denomina-
ton, aggregating $4,000. They consti-
tute the first half of the $1,02O0O0 issue.
The American Bank Note company
rushed the first installment, so that the
city could deliver them to the state before
the 1st in payment of obligations, thus
obviating the necessity of transferring
this large sum to Sacramento by express
and back again.
The bonds are dated December l, 1907
and interest is payable semi-annually.
The bonds will be sent to Sacramento
where the state examiners board has in
vested in one-half.

MAYOR IN LINE NOW ON
DEPARTMENT RETRENCHING
viii Not Help to Keep Appointees
of counciImen in Office at
This Late
Day

Mayor Harper has been won over to
the retrenchment policy for the health
or any other department where expenses
exceed the appropriations.
He has told friends that he will approve
any ordinance cutting expenses where the
same is necessary to keep inside the limit.
This disposes of the stories that the
mayor will veto any ordinance cutting
down the health department force the
principal obstacle to such legislation hav-
ing been that not enough votes could be
mustered to pass the measure over the
mayoral veto.
One of the reasons for this possibly is
that councilmen have taken jobs for their
friends as soon as they turned UP in that
department, hence the mayor has no per-
sonal interest in any of the appointees.
