MEXICAN IS WOUNDED
IN STABBING AFFRAY

Jesus Verdugo, foreman Of a gang
of workmen at a grading camp at La
Canada, was fatally stabbed in a fight
with two laborers, Juan Juarnitas and
Juan Marsalis. at the grading camp
about 12 o'clock last night.
The fight arose over a discussion
about wages, the laborers claiming that
Verdugo had caused them to be docked
for losc time.
According to witnesses Verdugo met
his two assailants a short distance
from the grading camp and became en-
gagged in discussion with them. Yer
dugo is said to have suddenly turned
and started to run when the two men
bounded after him. A few seconds
later the foreman dropped to the
ground with a deep knife wound lust
below his left collar bone.
Juarnitas and Marsalis then ran in
the opposite direction. Word was at
once sent to Pasadena and Constable
Austin, in company with several deputy
sheriffs, at once started on the trail of
the fugitives.
They were unable to capture them,
and the county Jail in Los Angeles was
notified so deputy sheriffs could be sent
from this city.
The men engaged in the fight are
all said to have been drinking. Yer
dugos assailants are said to have repu-
tations as bad men at the camp.

BUTTE, Mont, March 16.-The
members of the Workingmen's union

way company, quit work this morning,
the management refusing a demand for
an increase of wages from So to $3.50

the cars cannot run.

ply depending upon chance, Butte con-
fronts a most annoying period. The

This short note. telling of the suicide

and beneath the window with cotton.
Miss Parish has been ill for many
years. She was q years of age, and
five months ago the family moved to
Los Angeles from milwaukee, Wis,

benefit the young woman's health. Since
the arrival of the family in Los Ange-

herself in such way tnat her parents
have thought she was becoming de-

GiganticE Engineering
Scheme Made
Public
Electricity to Be Brought
From Feather
River
San Francisco VIII Be Furnished with
100000 Horse Power-Expense Of
Undertaking Estimated at
$25,oooooo

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 1.-THE
Great Western Power company, backed
by eastern capital, is arranging to
bring 100000 electrical horsepower into
this city.
The company is now working 800 men
near the north fork of the Feather
river. at point called Great Bend,
where the river forms a natural horse
shoe fifteen miles in circumference.
with the two points within $1,000 feet
of each other.
Advantage has been taken Of tun-
mel 10000 feet long, driven years ago
by the Great Bend Mining company,
which spent over a million dollars in
a fruitless attempt to exploit the placer
gold of the river. Only 5000 more feet
of the tunnel will need to be driven
to reach the point of discharge.
The flood water is to be sent through
this tunnel with a fall of over 500 feet.
The distance from Great Bend to San
Francisco is 1870 miles.
The power will be brought on copper
cables strung from, steel towers seven
to the mile. In Plumas county a lake
twenty-one miles long will be con-
structed for a reservoir available in
times Of drought.
Though exceeded in amount of ener-
gy at Niagara, this project is one of
the greatest engineering conceptions in
the world. 1t will cost $25,O00, 900. The
president of the power company is Ed
win Hawley, director of the Western
Pacific.
1t is believed all the Western Pacific
lines in this state will be electricized
and that all Northern California cleo
trio roads will be merged. Oakland
will be included in the power distribu-
tion.

OneHundr9d or More
Killed in Mine
Explosion
Disaster Near Forbach,
Germany, Caused by
Fire Damp
Bodies So Badly Mangled That Rela-
tlVes Fall to Identify Them.
Forty Still Are
Missing
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
FORBACH, Germany, March 16.-An
explosion of fire damp in an under
ground shaft of the coal mine at Klein
rosseln, near here, at II o'clock last
night, resulted in the death of more
than seventy-flve miners and the in
jury of many others.
Forty of the miners who were in
the shaft at the time Of the explosion
are still missing. One hundred and
seventeen others escaped into adjoining
galleries.
Two hundred and ten men went into
the mine at o'clock last evening and
about midnight the news was spread
to the nearby villages that a terrible
disaster had occurred.
Almost the whole population of the
countryside gathered at the mouth OF
the shaft. Rain was falling heavily
and the most dll Sressinig scenes OF
grief were witnessed as the bodies were
brought up and laid out under a blaze
of electric lights.
Many of the bodies were so disfigured
that they were scarcely recognizable.
The work of bringing out the in
jured men and the bodies of the dead
was very slow, the galleries being
choked with wreckage. The mine be-
longs to the DeWendels, one of the
richest mining families of Alsace-Lor-
raine.
AS the work of rescue progressed II
was seen that the disaster was more
serious than the first inspection In
dicated. Up to late hour tonigh
sixty-seven dead men and twelve mel
dangerously wounded had been brough
to the surface, while forty men still
were missing All the missing have
been given up as dead, as they un.
doubtedly were buried under falling
wreckage.
OF the wounded two have died and
the doctors think that only one of the
remaining ten will recover.
The DeWendels brothers have given
$3.50 to relieve the immediate suffer-
ings of the families.

According to spectators, the car was
travelling at high rate of speed. When
it neared the corner of Avenue Twenty

to slow down for the curve. The car
was proceeding at such a rate that it
did not slacken speed in time and as
it struck the turn in the rails flew from
the tracks, flying through the air and
turning completely over a short dis
tance from tht curb opposite to where
the turn was made.
There were no passengers on the car
at the time, but both motorman and
conductor were buried beneath the
wreck. The noise of the car as it
turned over was heard for several
blocks and residents in the neighbor-
hood rushed to the assistance of the
unconscious carmen. The motorman
was on the front platform at the time
of the accident, while the conductor
was on the rear Both men were buried
beneath the debris
Soon after aid arrived the men were
released and were at once hurried tt

sent at once to the scene and endeav.
ored to raise the car to the tracks A
few hours later the car was raised tc
the tracks and was taken to the barn
