SUCKS GAS
UNTIL HE
KEELS OVER
is FOUND UNCONSCIOUS AND
BLEEDING ON FLOOR
Man Held for Investigation as to Sew
eraI Charges Of Robbery on Tip
toe Holds Mouth Over
Gas Jet

With several charges Of robbery pend
ing against him and the outlook for lib
erty in the near future gloomy, William
Allen, prisoner in the small tank of the
city prison, made desperate attempt last
night to commit suicide by inhaling
illuminating gas.
Allen was arrested October 26 by De-
tectives Hosick and Zeigler and his name
placed on the detinue book until the
officers could investigate his record.
Yesterday he was booked on charge OF
petit larceny simply to hoid him until the
evidence of other and more serious crimes
which the police believe him to be guilty
of could be gone into.
He was placed in the upper small tank
Of the jail when he was first arrested, a
cell which is usually reserved for the
more important prisoners, and orders were
given to refuse him any but a court bail.
Cell No. 5 is the only one in the upper
part of the prison which is equipped with
a light, a single gas jet being swung
high above the floor.
In order to reach 1t an ordinary sized
Allen found two high wooden boxes used
as spittoons in the cells, and these he
placed one on top of the other on bench.
With this underpinning he was enabled
by standing on his tip toes to reach the
gas jet. '.tt.'
Waiting until after the prisoners had
been given their suppers and locked up
for the evening, he built up his foot stand
and, placing his mouth tightly around the
gas jet. turned on the gas.
Jailer John McCauley, who always
makes careful inspection of the jail at
all times of the day and night, concluded
to take final look at Allen after he was
locked up, and going to the cell found
the man lying bleeding and senseless on
the floor of the tank.
The prisoner, 1t was evident, had sucked
in the gas until, insensible, he had
plunged headlong to the floor, cutting a
great cash in his scalp on the edge of the
iron cot
Jailer McCauley at once opened the cell
and picking the man up carried him in
his arms down stairs to the receiving
hospital, where Drs. Quint, Garrett, Tan
ner. Wiley and Cook worked over him
for an hour before he was resuscitated.
Artificial respiration, Injections of nor
NAL salt solution and all other known
remedies for asphyxiation were used be-
fore the man was restored to conscious
ness.
AS soonN as the man was pronounced
out of danger he was returned to a cell
in another department and guard placed
over him.
Nothing is known by the police of AL
lens antecedents, but he Is believed to be
either dangerous crook or a man over
come by the shame of his arrest.

WATER FOR FORESTS
WILL BE INCREASED

In it's Investigations for the improve
ment of grazing lands within the ma
tional forests carried on during the past
year the forest service has found that
the ranges on some of the forests can
not be fully utilized by stock because
of a lack of a proper water supply. Plans
have been made for bettering these con-
ditions as rapidly as possible.
Work to improve the water supply on
the national forest ranges will be started
this year on the Leadville national for
est in Colorado and the Tumacacori ma
tional forest in Arizona and before the
coming of another grazing season a num-
,ber of ranges will be improved very ma
terially.
on the Leadville forest the forest Off
GERS will clean out and protect twelve
different springs and pipe the water into
roughs The work on the Tumacacorl
forest in Arizona will be somewhat more
extensive, although 1t will be confined
to the Improvement of the supply OF
only half as many springs as on the
Colorado forest. This method of clean
ing out and protecting springs ana other
watering places will result In much bene-
Mt to stockmen grazing on the strips OF
ranges within the forests. Improvement
work along the same general lines VIII
also be begun on other national rorests'

WOMAN is LOST AND
SEEKS SWIFT REVENGE
ing for Officers to Find Her
Home and Arrest Her
Man

fearful and laboring under great ex-
citement woman bounded into police
headquarters yesterday afternoon bewail-
ing that she did not know where her
home was She carried a slip of paper
on which appeared the name of Mrs.
Stout and a telephone number. 1t was
some time before the woman could COM
mand herself sufficiently to be under
stood.
The excited woman proved to be Mrs.
Mcgee Fabregad, a French lady, recently
arrived from Australia. 1t was difficult
for the officers to make out what her
real predicament was, because of her
meager command of English.
1t was gathered by the police that Mrs.
Fabregad. has been separated from her
husband for some time, and because of
the lonely life she had lived she en-
ployed a servant-a man with a wooden
leg. The name Of the man could not be
figured out from the woman's way of
pronouncing it and the only clew to his
Identity was the absence of one limb.
I hired that man because of pity for
him." she said, land he has treated me
shamefully. Yesterday gave him money
to rent another place and he has not
come back. I knew the house I wanted
was in a real estate mans hands, but
did not know the address, He has rented
the house and now 1 am lost in this city
and don't know where my home is. /
have treated that man too nice and now
he will have to co."
More Anxious for Revenge
The officers found the address of Mrs.
Stout in a telephone book and gave the
woman instructions how to find the
place. Mrs. Stout, she said, could tell
her where the real estate office was and
hQ mn
new home was, and finding that she
would perhaps be able to locate her
servant.
But the address did not satisfy the
French woman. She wanted revenge.
Ln her meager description of the man
she wanted him arrested and was nettled
because the courts were closed on ac-
count of a legal holiday.
Finally an officer was sent out to in
vestigate her troubles and after sitting
around In the station for five hours the
woman was persuaded to leave, but de-
clared she would return and have re-
venge on her recreant servant.

FRANKS GET
DANGEROUS
MANY NARROW ESCAPES FROM
SERIOUS ACCIDENTS
Mischievous Miscreants overturn Real
Estate Office and Leave All Sorts
of Minor Havoc in Their
Wake

The maliciously inclined small boy and
some of larger growth taking advantage
Of the liberty allowed by the celebra-
tion of Halloween, committed acts dur
ing last night that endangered life and
destroyed property.
Perhaps the most serious bit of mischief
was committed at Vermont and Santa
Barbara avenues at the crossing of the
Los Angeles -Redondo railway and the
Los Angeles railway.
Here the tracks were creased for a
distance of several hundred feet on both
lines and as result four collisions oc-
CURED between cars at the crossing In
which three of the cars were badly dam
aged, but fortunately no one was hurt
Tracks of the Los Angeles railway at
Sixth and Figueroa streets were also
CREASED on the heavy grade at that point
and several narrow escapes from acci-
dents resulted.
The real estate office of W. H. Gilbert
of $50 West Eighteenth street, at Pasa-
dena avenue and Avenue A, was turned
upside down and the furniture and a
lot Of new sashes and window frames
containing glass were broken to pieces
A horse and buggy owned by Mrs. M
T. Rice of 121 Leroy street was driven
away from Second and Main streets,
where she had left 1t standing FOR a
few minutes and q wagon and horse De-
longing to the Pacific Syrup company
was driven away from 725 Antonio street.
A settee and number Of valuable pot.
ted plants which were on the porch or
the residence of Mrs. w. Baker at lzlo
Westlake avenue were stolen.
At a number of points in the CITY
wagons were hauled away from yards
and vacant lots in which they were
standing and left in piecemeal in other
sections of the town.
Gates were freely stolen and signs were
interchanged and other less harmrui
pranks were committed
On the Pacific Electric line a force OF
sixty-eight detectives and watchmen un-
der the direction of Detective George
Churchill were required to keep the lines
free for the safe passage of cars. IN
all sections of the town oil was used on
the tracks and at several points accloente
to heavily loaded interurban cars were
narrowly averted by the watchfulness Oh
the guards.

CAFE PROPRIETOR IS
.SUDDENLY Y INVISIBLE
Constable Takes Charge of Establish
ment at $50 South Broadway
and Friends Are Puzzled
as to the Cause

Grave suspicious, are being entertained
by the police that o. e. Lindroth, pro-
prietor of the Club cafe at $50 South
Broadway, has left the county In order to
avoid meeting creditors who are raining
attachments against h. place Of business
Six attachments and twenty labor claims
have been fled against the establishment
during the past few days and many more
claims are expected in the next few days.
when 1t becomes known that the res
taurant mans creditors declare he is in
solvent Bills aggregating $1,000 have
already been brought forward by angry
individuals, who insist they have been
put off so long they will not listen to any
further excuses.
The restaurant, which was conducted as
a business mans cafe, was closed Tues
day evening by Constable F. p. Cochran
who has charge of the numerous attach
ments against the place.
Lindroth had ceased to appear at his
place of business several days before 1t
was closed by the officers of the law, and
since then he has not been visible about
the premises, and his acquaintances say
they have not seen him. Yesterday Con-
stable Cochran became convinced the man
had disappeared
The cafe seemed to be doing a good
business and every one believed the pro-
prietor was making expenses at least.
Lindroth was not known to be gambling
man or one who wasted his money in
dissipation. 1t is supposed that the ex-
cessive expenses of running the business
ate up the profits
Friends say that Lindroth paid $3.50 per
month for the rent of his place and had
several other large items, such as a
LIQUOR license, to pay. The establishment
win be disposed of at public sale Wednes-
day, November g. Several prospective in
vestors have been to look 1t over.
I E. L. Mcmillan, Dyer Law and Collec-
ton company, Tom Scott, McStay Supply

DOCTOR THE ITCH WHERE THE
ITCH is.
Don't Dose the Stomach to Cure
Eczema and other skin Diseases.

Those afflicted with Eczema, psoria.
! sis, salt rheum, or other skin diseases
of similar nature, should never dose
| the stomach to rid themselves Of the
terrible itch. They should doctor the
itch where the itch is-cure the skin
through the skin, not through the
stomach.
Eczema and other diseases of a
kindred kind are skin diseases-not
blood diseases. Science has shown
that Eczema is caused by germs in
the skin. and that the disease can be
eradicated only by killing the germs
DR.. Decatur d. Dennis was one of
the first physicians to follow out the
germ theory in skin diseases. Then
he discovered that by mixing oil OF
wintergreen with other soothing
agents he had liquid prescription
which killed the germs and cured the
awful itch, leaving the skin white and
smooth. Since that time this d. D. ID.
Prescription has been the standard
remedy for skin diseases, just as d.
d. D. soap is the standard high grade
skin soap.
The first few drops of d. d. d. give
instant relief from the terrible itch
and from the frightful burning of the
diseased skin. So reliable is this d. |
y. d. remedy that hundreds of physi- |
clans prescribe it. 1t is wash as
hin as water and as mild and az
,ure, which is applied to the diseased |
PORTION of the skin.
Mrs. Frances Richmond of Milton,
Trimble county, Kentucky, writes:
My little girls fingers were sore
Utmost to the bone from Eczema ]
lsed part of the sample bottle of d.
}. ID. Prescription received from you
nd now they are well. 1t is a won
erful skin remedy"
We carefully investigated this d. d.
}. Prescription before recommending
to our neighbors and patrons, and
fter long experience we are more
han ever convinced of its wonderful
lerts.
HERMAN C. SCHULZ
You needn't decide now, but call
our store anyway and we will show
on how this ID. ID. ID. Prescription
ives instant relief from itch.
