HEARD AROUND
THE CORRIDORS
BERTHE SEEKS REST CURE
AFTER WITNESSING MURDER
IN GoLDF1ELD RESTAURANT
by THE EAvEsDRoPPER

When a New York club man who has
seen nothing more Wild and woolly
than the eastern metropolis comes
west to get his little taste Of real
western life, he is apt to get a little
more than he bargains for, judging
from the experience of one Bert S.
Dunn, called by his fellow clubmen
BERTHE.
Berthe is at the Angelus on his way
to New York to take a rest cure, and
this after less than week in the
wild west.
If he gets back to New York alive
he swears he will never again leave
there, and his statement is generally
accepted as the truth.
Tales of the fortunes lying around
the streets of Goldheld just waiting
for an eastern tenderfoot to come and
pick them up were waited across the
continent and fell upon Bertie's ears.
He had been out of college only long
enough to get established in some New
York clubs and to help to demolish the
fortune his father has spent life
time in accommodating, when a sudden
determination to go to Goldfield seized
him. He went. He arrived there last
Thursday morning and Thursday
night he became hungry. He asked
the advice of a miner as to the best
place to get something to eat and the
miner directed him to Jax's restau-
rant.
He took seat at one of the tables
and prepared to order a star meal. He
had acquired q first-class appetite
and the best in the house was about
right
He had not seen any fortunes in the
few hours he had been in town, at
least he had not picked any up, but
the thought of his dinner cheered him
and he was just deciding that Gold
field was probably not quite such a
bad place If one could get used to 1t,
when a man rushed into the restau-
rant, fired shot over Bertie's head,
just grazing Berties pompadour, and
man fell dead beyond. The man fired
another shot and another, until he
emptied his revolver of five cartridges,
and BERTHE went straight up through
the ceiling. He did not stop to run
out and he has been going ever since.
The shooting was the one in which
Count Constantine Podhorski lost his
life, and ]. G. Hines, who fired the shot,
travelled 1000 miles for the purpose of
doing 1t.
Just as young Dunn entered the
restaurant the count and a man
friend of his took seats at the next
table and soon afterward woman
entered and took the place of the man
next to the count. She was Hines
wife, and three minutes later Hines
entered and fired the shots which sent
the Polish nobleman to his grave and
the New York clubman out of Gold
field.
II have not gotten over the shock
yet" said Mr. Dunn at the Angelus
last night. II really feel that the rest
cure in New York is the only thing
for me. 1 did not stop after left that
restaurant until got to Los Angeles.
1t was a terrible thing. The man was
as cool as If he was in the habit Of
killing a man before meals"

GOOD GOVERNMENT
IS THEIR DESIRE
UNIVERSITY ALUMNI TO FORM
ASSOCIATION
Pennsylvania Men start the Movement
and viii Seek the Cooperation
Of Former Sons Of Old
ELI

new good government" league Is
soon to find place in Los Angeles, uu-
der the leadership of the alumni asso-
cations of Yale university and the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania.
AT a banquet of the local alumni as
sociation of the latter university at
the Angelus hotel last night a COM
mittee was appointed to confer with
committee of the Yale Alumni asso-
citation with a view to laying the plans
for the founding of the new order.
The association will be composed en-
tirely of university and college men,
but will In no wise be an adjunct to
the University club. Many of the alum
nj of large eastern schools, which have
strong alumni associations in the city,
do not belong to the University club,
finding that their alumni associations
demand their spare time, and the initia-
tive in the work of organizing the new
league, as well as it's membership will
come largely from without the Univer-
slty club. The following are the MEM
bers of the committee appointed last
night to meet the Yale men: DIR. John
X. Haynes, DR.. w. A. Il. Edwards and
John r. White, jr. The following Of
ficers for the association for the COM
ing year were elected:
DR.. G. G. Stivers, president; DR.. P.
q. Coffey, vice president; DR.. T. Perci-
val Gerson, secretary and treasurer.
President Stivers was authorized to
present University of Pennsylvania
pennant to the University club of Los
Angeles.
1t is thought that an affiliation of
the new order may be made with the
Pan-Hellenic association, which is soon
TO be organized in Los Angeles. The
latter association will offer member
ship 20 every Greek letter man in the
cp with the same ends in view as
4ose professed by the new civic i'm
provement league-"The study of mu-
nicipal problems, with a view to civic
Improvement" Both leagues will en-
phasize the social features as we'll.
