A California Trip.
CONTINUED from last week.

Our letter of two weeks ago was writ
ten while stopping at Lordsburg, Cali
fornia, and after the letter was written
we vet remained few days, and with
great deal of regret we left the best
town we found in the west, but in order
to see as much as possible in our three
weeks time, we have had to be on the
move.
The country surrounding Lordsburg
is peculiar in some respects, and these
conditions surely cannot be found in
any other section of our country. For
six or seven miles in either direction
from the little city are continual orange
groves, and is called the orange section.
Mr.. Wyatt drove us twelve miles or
more into an entirely different section
SO far as conditions and surroundings
are concerned. Here there were no
orange groves in sight, but farming by
irrigation was carried on extensively,
the fields of barley, wheat and oats and
the large fields of hay reminding one of
the scenes in the middle states during
harvest time. Large apple orchards
were seen; the English walnut is raised
extensively. The climate also different
from that at Lordsburg, as our host in
formed US. for as one approaches the
mountains the change in altitude effects
the temperature, so that one can realize
many kinds of climate and not travel
many miles to experience it.
Mark Twain said that the reason he
liked California was that if he didn't
like the climate he was in he could
cross the street and maybe he would
find the climate just right. This GER
tainly was true in the city of Lordsburg,
especially if you cross from the sunny
to to the shady side, as the shade is
always cool, no difference how hot the
sun may shine.
It was with much regret that we
were compelled to bid score or more
of our friends in Lordsburg good bye on
Saturday, but ride of thirty-ive miles
landed us in Los Angeles, the largest
city in southern California. 1t is city
of flowers, we'll dressed people and
automobiles. The city is in continu-
GUS hustle and everyone seems in q
hurry. Although we consider Lords
burg the garden spot of the state
Los Angeles would surely be fine
place to live for those who prefer
city life, as the climate and surround
ings are ideal.
At Los Angeles the Brethren annua
conference was in session and grea'
many people from our state and count!
were present, making one feel as il n
had landed back in the Hoosier state
Here we met again many minister's, VIII
in days gone by had sat with us at gu
fathers dinner table and discussed witt
him the affairs of the church. We en-
ioyed their visits with us then, and
was pleasure to meet these men AM
renew acquaintanceship. 1t is wonder
full how politicians and ministers ar
able to remember faces and names, an
after short conversation the preacher
will convince you that even they ar
not ungrateful, and do not forget oil
friends and past favors as easy as som
would imagine. Their meeting wa
held in the temple auditorium, one {
the largest buildings in the city use
for public gatherings and entertain
ments. 1t is swell place, and for con
fort and for grandeur is in great col

In a collision between two engines on
the Louisville and Nashville railroad at
Oxmoor yesterday morning at about 4
o'clock the fireman, a negro by the name
of John Kelley, was killed and the en-
gineer, Leroy Becl1el, was seriously in
jured. William Cox, a conductor, also
suffered slight injuries from the shock,
but was able to return to his home I'M

The accident was what the railroad men
call side wipe.o The fourth section
of No. is, going north, was moving at a
rapid pace and the first section of No 10,
which was en- it's way south, was standing
In the OXmoor side track to allow the
other train to pass, but the engine had
not backed quite far enough from the
main line, and when No. is attempted to
pass the two engines struck together
with a loud crash The locomotive on the
right toppled over on it's side Kelley, the
fireman, did not have time to jump and
was caught under the wreck, his skull
being fractured and many bones broken,
crushing out life instantly.
Engineer Becke1 had a miraculous es-
cape from death. When he felt the jolt
he jumped but no sooner had his feet
struck the ground when the engine came
crashing down upon him. BY lucky
accident the cab window was open and
