BOY TELLS
OF MURDER
DESCRIBES FIGHT BETWEEN
DEALER AND CHAUFFEUR
JURY FOUND TO TRY J. c. HEM
pERsoN FOR LIFE
Man Charged with Staying Rival for
His Wlfe's Love Faces Trial
In the Superior
Court

The trial of J. c. Henderson, charged
with killing Oscar e. Otto October IL,
was yesterday begun in Judge Smiths
department of the superior court.
The shooting Of Otto occurred at
Ninth and Tennessee streets about 9
o'clock at night and followed number
of quarrels between the men oveT tho
alleged intimacy between Henderson
and Mrs. Otto
Otto was an automobile dealer and
Henderson a chauffeur, and some time
prior to the shooting, 1t was stated,
Henderson received a severe beating
at Otto's hands.
The forenoon was taken up with the
selection of a jury and at noon the
following men were chosen: Daniel
Arbuthnot, r. D. Hallabird, Robert G.
Steel, John w. Downs, j. l.. Lansing,
John w. Flint, ]. E. Gray. B. F. Nance.
Charles r. Fuller. Nelson Hefner. f.
r. Slaughter and Thomas ]. Hutch-
inson.
Claude M. Smith was among the first
witnesses. He said he was on his way
home the night of the shooting and
met Otto at Third and Spring Streets
| Otto asked him to get into the auto
| mobile, and together they drove to
Eighth and Tennessee. The defense
tried to bring out the fact that Otto
at that time had made threats against
Henderson and had told the witness
he was on his way to fix a man." and
wanted him along as a witness. The
witness admitted that Otto had told
him he was to meet man that night,
but made no threats.
William Sendy, a 12-year-old boy,
said he had seen the shooting. but
could not tell whether Otto held a
revolver at the time. He knew neither
of the men, he said, and was attracted
to the place, together with companions.
| by loud talking and the expectation of
witnessing a fistic encounter.
He said he heard Otto say "Pull it
OUT and saw him advance toward
Henderson, who retreated.
Edward Sendy testified substantially
to the same effect as his brother. The
trial will be continued this morning at
10 o'clock.

INDIVIDUALS EFFORTS
TO GUST TRUSTEES FAIL
Judge Holds City Attorney or Direct
Representative Of Vernon Citizens
Is the Only One Who Can
Bring Action

The action of Robert Broome In
Judge James court, in which he tried
to have the trustees of the city OF Ver-
non ousted from office, has failed, the
court ruling the action was improperly
brought and IL further prosecuted it
must be by a new complaint filed by q
representative of the people and not
by an individual.
1t was charged by Broome the de-
PENDANTS had illegally expended public
money in paying a lawyer other than
the duly elected city attorney; failure
to elect trustee to fill a vacancy, and
inefficiency and neglect regarding the
city's work.
The defendants appeared and de-
INJURED to the complaint, claiming a
private citizen cannot maintain a suit
under the provisions of section 772 of
the penal code, but that the action
must be brought in the name of the
people.
In sustaining the demurrer, Judge
James says: "It is undoubtedly the
design of the law that all prosecutions
of a criminal character, where penal
judgments are to follow conviction, to
place the actions In the hands of the
public prosecutors, because they are
presumed to act only in meritorious
cases and to see that justice is done.
at is not intended that anyone may
initiate actions for the recovery of
penalties and the removal of ublic
officers, except to furnish evidence"

BOARD BUYS AQUEDUCT
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES
Fort Wayne Firm Withdrew Its Bid
AMI Westinghouse Company
Gets Rush Emergency
Order

The board of public works recently
invited bids for furnishing two electric
locomotives required in the construc-
ton of the Los Angeles aqueduct.
The Fort Wayne Electric company
offered to furnish the same, delivered
within ninety-one days, for $4,000, which
bid was accepted by the board. 1t now
appears that the company submitted its
bid through a misunderstanding of the
requirements and that it states that 1t
cannot furnish the locomotives at the
price mentioned and desires to be re-
lieved from the contract.
The board later secured from the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing company an offer to furnish the
locomotives, delivered within seventy
five days, in accordance with the speci-
fications, at $500.
These locomotives are urgently neces-
sary in connection with the construc-
ton of the aqueduct. and the board
asked the council to authorize 1t to
enter into a contract with the Westing-
house company under the emergency
provisions of the city charter without
advertising for bids.
This was done yesterday

of the faithful and fanatical we make
bold to remark that the Indifference of

our prediction some months ago that
the campaign would end with the Den

country would sharply rebuke us for
saying that there was an absence Of

There was about an hour of daylight

after the deer. Ferris found the deer
easily enough, but they started before
he could get n standing shot at them,
and when he fired as they ran. he only
broke one of the bucks hind legs, just
above the ankle. He followed it in

and Ferris came home.
Next morning early we went out to
where he had left the trail. feeling
very sure from his description of the

the buck; for when he had abandoned
the pursuit the deer was in Il copse of
bushes and young trees some hundreds
of yards across, and in this it had
doubtless spent the night.
When we got TO the thicket we first
made n circuit round it to see if the
though there were fresh deer tracks
leading both in and out of it, none of
them were made by a cripple: so we
knew he was still within. After work
