LOS ANGELES MAN CREATES STIR
BY FINDING NUGGETS ON TOWN
LOT.

LOS ANGELES, July 2S.-While dig
ging a cesspool late today on his lot
in a new residence district in the
southwestern part of the city, Morris
Hurwitz found four gold nuggets,
weighing half pound each, within a
radius of five feet, and at depth of
twenty-five. The yellow chunks, three
inches long and two inches in diameter
were taken to an asayer who valued
them at $500 or $125 each. They were
picked up in a stratum of gravel, and
Hurwitz became so wildly excited over
his discovery that he Immediately
stopped work and spread the news
broadcast in the neighborhood.
The result was almost a panic and
it is expected that by daylight to-
morrow hundreds will be digging in
the vicinity and trouble over the own
ership of property is feared. Every lot
will be turned into a gold mine. The
same gravelly stratum was struck in
other cesspools, but nobody else ever
took the trouble to examine heavy
pieces of supposed rock brought up,
which Hurwitz found to be precious.

Fellow Citizens:

Fellow Citizens:
It aas been said by some who oppose
my reelection to the Senate that I am
strong IN the cities. but not strong in
the country. I have read and heard
statements OF that kind. These state
ments have not alarmed me nor excited
very deep concern Hitherto. as ell Mis-
sorrfans know. in my various political
struggles, whether for personal advance
rzent or for the promction of public pur-
poses I believed to be for the general
good, I have relied with greatest con-
ddeace and security upon that part Of
the electorate known as the country
people. And why should not that have
been so? I was born and reared to
more than h~a1f-manhood on a farm. do
ing the things that farm-boys ordinarily
do, and practically all my life has been
spent among the country people. My
wife. a native Missouri girl, was born
on a farm. and we were married at the
old homestead under whose roof she was
reared Ny kith and kin, and her kth
and kin, were of the country. and nearly
all the associations Of my life have been
identified with the country and with
countrywide. 1 feel justified, therefore,
in saying that II there IS any particular
class OF people I ought to understand and

i ought to be in sympathy and am in
