SNAKES VICTIM
MAY RECOVER
Physicians at the County Hospital
Assert That Man Bitten by
Rather VIII Not Die
of Poison

Battling hard for his life, the ply
sicians at the county hospital believe
they can save Lawrence La Frank,
who was bitten by big rattlesnake
near Newhall Wednesday afternoon.
Last night the mans condition was
perceptibly improved. The swelling on
the left leg was materially reduced ana
the wound under the arm was also less
dangerous, the doctors asserted.
La Frank was repairing fences on u
ranch not far from Newhall. Suddenly
he heard the deadly rattle of the ven-
omous reptile and felt it's fangs sink
into his left leg below the knee.
In struggling with the snake, La
Frank slipped and fell, the snake again
plunging the deadly poison into the
man, in the armpit.
The courage and devotion of the
mans dog probably saved his life, 1t is
believed, as the animal seized the snake
and dragged it away from his master,
who struggled to his feet, horrible
death facing him.
La Frank FASTENED to the ranch
house and was taken to a Newhall doc
tor, who advised that he be sent to the
county hospital.
When he arrived there physicians in
jected strychnia to keep up the action
of the heart, and injected permanganate
of potassium about the wounds.
La Frank Is a man OF iron constitu-
tion and was in good health at the time
he was stricken.
These circumstances, added to the
skillful treatment at the hospital, have
made recovery probable. But the
patients condition is still critical

MOVES ON
SALT LAKE ROAD
FIRST TRAIN IN WEEKS OPENS
DELAYED TRAFFIC
Fifteen Others on the Way and the
Rest VIII Be Moved az Soon as
Motive Power Can Be
Attached

When a freight train pulled into the
Salt Lake yards last night, It was not
greeted by any brass band or fire.
works, but the railroad officials were
1ubilant Just the same, for 1t was the
first freight to arrive over the road
for several weeks.
Fifteen big freights will arrive in
Los Angeles as fast as they can be
moved here. At last merchants will
receive goods that have been en- route
for many weeks.
Easter bonnets, April Fool pictures,
valent zines, spring clothing, in short a
lot of stuff that ought to have been
here long ago, will arrive out of sea-
son.
Many q merchant has been cursing
the weather which caused the tieup.
1t was not the fault of the road. Off
cials have been making every effort
to get the stalled freight to Los An
geles, but when miles of track are
washed out again and again, there Is
no help for 1t.
Aerial navigation would have been
appreciated at q time when the land
was converted into a long series of
swamps, rivers and lakes.
The rain fell in torrents, the long
lines of slender steel that reached from
Salt Lake City to the San Pedro
wharfs, were In many places out Of
sight and rivers swept over ballasted
roadbeds. Between Caliente and Las
Vegas there is a stretch Of track that
is even yet soft and dangerous Trains
pass over 1t at a snaips pace. Before
another winter, tracks Will be laid on
higher ground, but the floods of the
past winter may not be seen again for
years.
When the first break in traffic oc-
Cured the railroad men did not think
the situation serious, but as time went
on more floods came, more track was
washed away and the rains rendered
miles of roadway almost impossible.
The men In charge of the operating
department were in despair. Mer-
chants were deluging them for infor-
nation regarding goods. but the worst
deluge was the continuance of the
floods.
Since the memorable flood when Mr..
Noah took his family and a choice as
sortment of birds and beasts into the
ark, there has not been such adverse
conditions for railroad traffic, the Off
cials verify believe. Trains struggled
through the water and mire until fin
ally the titanic undertaking to keep
up communication was abandoned for
a period of weeks.
Finally when conditions permitted,
passenger trains resumed service, but
freight was congested in enormous
quantities all along the line. Weather
has finally become settled and the
army Of men who have been laying
new track and strengthening weak
places, have finally conquered their
adversary, and worried traffic man.
ayers will once more have time to
breathe and ruffled brows and becom-
ing smooth again.
The fifteen freight trains now on the
way are carrying about a third of the
freight consigned to Southern Cali
fornia, and the rest will be moved as
soon as motive power can be
hitched on.

WOMAN BURGLAR
IS SEEN At WORK
Attempt to Rob Jewelry Store on San
Fernando Street Frustrated by
Timely Arrival Of Rail-
road Man

What was probably an attempt to
burglarize the jewelry store of P. A.
Gianera at 211 San Fernando street at
an early hour Sunday morning was
frustrated by the timely arrival of a
night railroad switchman on the scene.
The attempt at robbery of the place
was made by man and we'll dressed
woman, and to all appearances the wo-
man was doing the work while the man
kept an outlook.
1t was about o'clock in the morning
when the railroad man who was going
toward River ftation I'D the crash
of glass half a block away. He went
toward the sound to investigate and as
he neared the jewelry store woman
who was standing Immediately in front
Of the place gathered up her skirts and
ran rapidly away. The man who was
with her remained a few moments
longer, apparently to guard her retreat.
He too then ran and disappeared in the
darkness.
Patrolman Marden was notified of the
occurrence and made an investigation,
but it is not believed that any of the
articles of jewelry which were in the
windows have been taken.
AS we'll as it was possible for him to
tell in the darkness the railroad man
stated that the woman was we'll dressed
and wore a long automobile coat and a
soft dark hat which fitted close over
her forehead. Her face was concealed
by veil.

THREE BIBLICAL ARKS
is PREACHERS SUBJECT

Rev. ]. S. Thomson, pastor of the In
dependent Church of Christ, preached
a sermon on "rhe Three Biblical Arks"
yesterday. He said:
THE ark of Noah is symbolical and
very suggestive. When a nation be-
comes rich and fat ii forgets God, sinks
into black vices, decays and finally
dies. Before the age of Noah there
were on the earth sons of the Gods and
beautiful daughters of men. The men
were giants in power and they per-
formed sublime exploits, and were IA
nous. Prosperity was general. Then
the people became goddess, immoral
and shamelessly corrupt, and they We're
not fit to live on the earth. They were
swept into destruction. The same
thing happened to Lot in Sodom that
happened to Noah. The symbols of the
ark are most interesting-the raven,
the dove, the windows, the doors and
the food. The ark in which Moses was
saved is another biblical ark of great
interest. The ark was a contriVance
of the child's mother. Providence in
spired her with the idea, So grand
character noble legislator and an
energetic leader and governor was
saved to the world. Krishna was
saved from Kansa, Romulus was saved
in the Tiber and Christ was saved
from Herod.
1.-The ark of the Covenant contained
the tables of the law, a pot of mama
and Aaron's budding rod. The Etrus-
cans, the Egyptians, the Romans and
other peoples had sacred chests. Such
an ark might be regarded as the con-
stitution of a nation. The contents of
the Hebrew sacred chest have also
many suggestions for us. God re-
quires two things from every nation
religion and morality; and these two
essentials OF national safety and a
civilization must not be di-
vorced from the functions of the intel
lect and the imagination. Each one of
us needs a character with faith in it,
and such character is the ark in
which one can pass over the angry
waters OF life to the top OF the noun
tain of truth and rest, In Revelations
It Is stated that the ark was seen in
heaven by the Divine Seer, and our
character win also be seen there"

COUNTY POOR FARM HARBORS
ROMANTIC TRAGEDY
Feeble Husband and Wife Who Have
Never Seen Each Other Spend
One Happy Hour Each
Week

Out at the county poor farm an old
man and an old, old woman are writ
ing the last pages of a story that is
at once a romance and a tragedy.
Years ago, so many that it would be
hard to count them, was born in a lit
tie town in Michigan, a blind baby
The baby grew to boyhood and de-
veloped a strong passion for music. AS
he grew the passion grew and in
course of time, blind though he was,
he mastered the technique of the piano.
He became a teacher and he impaired
his knowledge to many.
Born also in the same state was a
girl-bright and attractive and en-
dowed with all the charms that girls
possess.
day she awoke to find that all the
beauty of the world had been shut
away from her. She, too, was blind. A
few years later the blind girl met the
blind music master. They talked to-
gether and they loved each other. They
were married and brought children into
the world. The children were well and
blessed with good sight. They grew to
be men and women, The blind mu-
sician and his wife struggled on to
give them every advantage. Their
struggle was not an easy one and the
problem of meeting the needs of a
family were not easy ones to solve.
Nevertheless, the children were cared
for.
Are Dying In Poverty
In the county farm the old musician
spends his days, a pauper In the
woman's ward his wife, now an epi-
leptio and a cripple. sits and waits for
death.
Every Thursday afternoon the
woman picks up her crutches and
hobbies out 10 bench under a big
palm tree In the garden. At the same
hour the man goes to the same bench
in the same garden and there. In their

trysting place, they sit for an hour.
The feeble hand of the old man clasps
the feebler hand of the old woman.
Cant you remember that day when
you and l." he says, but she can't re-
member. He holds her hand and
coaxes her to remember some of the
things in their past when they were
out in the world together, but epilepsy
has robbed her of her memory. She sits
and shakes her head, but she is happy,
for she is with him. Two years ago
in an epileptic attack she fell and
broke her hip and since then she has
never walked except on crutches.
Is Pioneer Inmate
The old man was the first to come
to the county farm. He came to
Southern California for his health and
drifted into Los Angeles. Being with
out money, there was nothing for him
to do but go to the poor farm. His
wife became Ill and she went to the
county hospital.
One day not long ago the old man
went to Superintendent Don Chick Of
the county farm.
do you think If my wife came out
here that 1 could see her once In a
while, Mr., Chick?" he asked in plain
tiff voice.
"Of course, you could. How often
would you want to see her?" he asked.
well, if l could see her once
week, Mr.. Chick, l would be SO
happy"
1t was arranged and thus 1t is that
every Thursday the old man and the
old woman sit under the palm tree in
the garden.
Writes to Outside World
He is Eli v. Robinson and she Mrs.
Mrs Annie l.. Robinson, according to
the big register He is a little bit of
a man, with thin, pointed face-the
face of an ascetic. In his room is a
small typewriter and with this and a
few raised letter books, he amuses
himself. He writes letters to people In
the world he has known and he writes
many OF his observations. He Is well
posted on all affairs of the present day
and is always eager for news from the
outside world
The little blind, crippled epileptic
wife is not so fortunate. Her faculties
are not SO good. She has no dreams
of the past to help her through the
weary hours. Every Thursday after
noon she lives for little while.
Ann, dear Ann, can't you remem-
ber?' he asks.
But she can't. She only mods and
smiles and smiles and mods again.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 14.-Word
has been received from Ahls Farm, a
small settlement near here, that when
the ice broke on -4e Tort creek and
swept down the narrow valley the
buildings along its bank were carried
away and were later seen floating
gayly down the Ohio.
There was one exception. A small
barn, lifted from its foundations, was
carried about a quarter of mile. until
It struck an i'e gorge that held back
the water.
An eddy was formed in the pool and
this whirled the barr upstream to
within few feet Of its original posi-
tion. Samuel Hambright, owner of the
property succeeded In placing ropes
about the barn and II was thus held
In place until the water went down,
when it gently settled on its old foun-
dations.
During its strange trip up stream
the barn became the refuge Of eight
struggling pigs The farmer will net
a profit OF $40 on them.

FINDS RELIC OF
PREHISTORIC AGE

One of the most interesting relics of
the stone age ever brought to light in
Southern California was brought to
Los Angeles yesterday by w. w. Kes-
ter, formerly a rancher near San Luis
Obispo, but now living at 730 Ruth
avenue.
The relic is a stone pestle two feet
long and weighing about ten pounds.
1t was found by Mr.. Kester thirty feet
beneath the surface of the earth while
digging on the banks Of Old creek
about twelve years ago. According to
some authorities it is more than 1000
years old, while all admit 1t is very an
cient.
Mr.. Kester took the relic to the pub
lie library where 1t was shown to Lii
brarian Lummis, who at once pro-
nounced it a rare and valuable relic Of
the days of the stone age.
A mortar which matched 1T in di-
mensions and made of the same ma
terial was found about the same time
twenty miles north of Old creek lying
near the bank of Santa Rosa creek,
where 1t had evidently been washed by
the water This mortar was found by
q ranch hand and with the pestle was
placed on exhibition in a drug store
in San Luis Obispo. The store was
burned a short time later and the
mortar was destroyed in the fire, but
the pestle was saved.
1t is Mr.. Kester's intentions to place
the pestle in the Southwestern museum
despite the fact that he has been Of
fered large sums of money for it by
eastern collectors of antiquities
"I believe in keeping all relics Of
the early days in California in the
state" said Mr.. Kester, land 1 look
upon this pestle as one of the most
valuable which has been found, 1t is
a beautiful one and have never seen
a finer specimen. No other relic Of
any nature has ever been unearthed to
my knowledge in that vicinity and /
am sure 1t will prove valuable addi-
tion to the museum"
According to Mr.. Lummis the relic
is Of sandstone. One end of 1t was at
some time broken off, but 1t was re-
placed and is held in position by means
OF natural asphalt which has stood the
raVages of time and still connects the
piece with the pestle securely.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 14.-Perhaps
the strangest Incidents Of the great
flood which has been sweeping through
the Ohio valley were the two great
fires In this city and in Wheeling,
which were started by the water.
In both instances the chemical action
of the high water on big stacks of
lime caused so much heat that nearby
buildings ignited and since It was i'm
possible to operate the engines the
flames did great damage.
On the south side of this city several
mills and large number of buildings
were destroyed, while in Wheeling the
loss totaled nearly 100000.
Several sntnller fires in other cities
were caused by the flood short-circuit-
