phoning to police headquarters an in
timation that the chief would have a
hard time to capture him, Charles
Clark, negro, said by the police to be
suspected of bootlegging and other mis-
deeds, was traced by Chief Williams to

was placed under arrest.
The telephone call to headquarters
was found by the chief to have come
from Tenth street and Alamitos avenue.
The officer mounted a bicycle ana
was soon on the track of the negro.
Chief Williams compelled the negro
to walk ahead of him to town, although
the negro asked to be allowed to walk
beside him. Justice Brayton gave Clark
forty days on a vagrancy charge, and
Patrolman Phillips took him to Los
Angeles.
According to the police chief, Clark
was trying to sell a table and pair
of portieres when apprehended.

MANY AT INQUEST
OF MOJAVE RAN(HER
WIFE SAYS HE TRIED TO
MURDER HER
Widow Declares Man Killed by Justice
of Peace Awoke In Angry Mood
and Acted as Though
Insane

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, June ia
large crowd was attracted today by the
coroner's inquest on the death of HER
onymous Hartman, the Mojave river
cattleman, killed Sunday morning by
Justice of the Peace Stanley w. Hough-
ton at ORC Grande.
The work of conducting the hearing
was very slow, owing both to the fact
there are a large number of witnesses
to be examined and three attorneys are
taking a hand in the case.
District Attorney Dickson appears for
the people, Attorney F. B. Daley ap-
pears on behalf of the widow of Hart
man, while the accused, Stanley W.
Houghton, is represented by Senator
H. NJ. Willis.
Nearly the entire population of the
little town of Orc Grande is here today
for the hearing, which could not be
held at Orc Grande owing to the ina
bility to secure an unprecedented jury.
The principal witness of the day was
Mrs. Hartman, widow of the dead cat
tleman. She told how Hartman had
become worried over the fact that on
Monday he would have to face the court
and take sentence to the penitentiary.
She said he left home Saturday even
ing about 8 o'clock and did not return
until o CLOCK the next InorIlllS. lie
talked strangely when he returned, she
said, repeatedly asserting that before
he left for San Bernardino he would
blow up the entire town of Orc Grande
with powder. He said he had been
looking for path through the noun
tains and had found one.
Tried to Kill Wife
He finally lay down and two hours
later Mrs. Hartman had called him for
breakfast. He did not reply immedi-
ately, and finally spoke up in an angry
manner that frightened his wife. When
she got a look at him she was still
insane man.
Without a word he struck her fierce
blow in the eye, then grabbed butch
err knife and acted as though he was
going to kill her. She ran screaming
from the house, he following her, and
her screams awoke all the neighbor-
hood.
Mrs. Hartman did not see the shoot
ing, being in the rear of the house at
the time, washing blood from her
hands caused by a wound she received
when he struck her, causing her hand
to strike the corner of the table and to
cut her badly.
Mrs. Hartman and Senator Wills had
numerous clashes, the senator telling
her that he would like to treat her as
a lady if she would let him do So She
finally quieted down at the request of
the coroner.
Numerous neighbors testified as to
how they had been terrified by Hart
man. and of the doings of that fatal
morning. 1t is probable the inquest
will last all day tomorrow.
1t is understood that Stanley w.
Houghton will go on the stand before
the completion of the hearing and tell
his story of the killing, and attempt to
justify his act. 1t Is quite generally
believed here that Houghton will not
be held for trial, but will be discharged
by the corners jury.

MAY REQUIRE WORKERS
TO TAKE OUT LICENSES
Spe cial &c The Herald.

PASADENA, June 16-Whether or
not all followers of trades shall be
required to take out a license from
the city before they can practice their
profession is the question now con-
fronting South Pasadena. There has
been a discussion and quiet agitation
OF the matter for some weeks past.
but the matter was brought to head
at the meeting of the council last
night. At this time the plumbers
union presented a petition asking that
all wishing to follow that trade should
be required to hold a license. The
council decided to let the matter stand
over until public opinion could be more
thoroughly sounded on the matter.
In case the petition of the plumbers
is granted the other trades will I'M
doubtedly receive the same treatment
Such a measure suits them because it
will tend to check competition and
keep the work of each trade in the
hands of its regular men as distin-
guished from tramp journeymen and
peddlerS.
