WEALTHY MOTORIST
NEARLY KILLED WHEN
TIRE ON CAR BURSTS
H. B. AINSW0RTH TERRIBLY
INJURED
Redondo Capitalist Meets with DAM
aerous Accident While Driving
from His Beach Home to
Ranch at Arcadia

While driving a motor car from his
home in Redondo TO his ranch at Area
dia Friday afternoon, II. b. Ainsworth,
one Of the builders of the Redondo no
tel and a man of great wealth, was
hurled from his car when one of the
front tires blew UP. and sustained a
compound fracture of both bones Of the
right leg above the ankle, fracture
of a small bone of the left wrist and a
puncture in the flesh of the right arm.
He was taken to his ranch house and
attended by DIR. l.. M. Wheeler and DR..
Alexander.
Just how the accident occurred is not
known, as Mr.. AinswOrth was at first
unable to give any description of 1t. II
is known, however, that punctured
tire was the cause OF the trouble. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Ainsworth was driv-
ing along at a good rate, as the roads
leading to Arcadia are usually In pret-
ty good condition. There are places
where a thirty or forty-mile clip can
be kept up for a time without racktng
the machine. At any pace over thirty
miles an hour the bursting of front
tire Is a serious matter, motorists say.
1t is probable that when the tire blew
up Mr. Ainsworth lost control of the
steering gear and the car turned on
its side, throwing him to the ground,
while his right leg was caught under
the car.
He is receiving the best of care at
the ranch house, and besides the two
doctors who were' hurried to his side
in automobiles he is constantly attend
ed by nurse. The injuries which he
sustained are painful but not in them
selves likely to prove fatal. Unless
other complications develop or he is
found to be internally injured his re-
covery should be sure though slow, his
physicians said last night.

After burning over twenty square

at La Crescenta was thought to be
under control last night. Reports to
The Herald from La Canada, La Cres-
centa and Pasadena were to the effect
that practically it had been subdued

During the afternoon alarming re-
ports came from Switzers camp and

but these so far have not proved as
serious as had been feared. The Pick
ems canyon fire was brought under con-
troll before it spread a great distance.
1t threatened the water supply for both
La Crescenta and La Canada, and for
that reason extra efforts were made
to stamp it out.
The report from Switzer's camp was
to the effect that the fire had reached
Dark canyon and that a strong breeze
was carrying 1t toward the upper Ar
royo Seco. AS this meant a serious
danger to Pasadena's principal water
supply word was telephoned in hastily
to Mayor Farley of Pasadena. He took
steps to send out every available man
to combat the flames. but not many
could be mustered. as nearly every one
obtainable had been sent out already.
Dark canyon has not been burned
over for a good many years and is
heavily wooded. The timber there and
in the Arroyo Seco is unusually dry.

nothing to prevent the fire spreading

Reports from the Arroyo Seco were

been checked in Dark canyon.
Another fire was seen yesterday in
the Santa Ana range, fiercely spread

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Revelations OF
a sensational nature were made
~ public today regarding the fail
fish, game and sea food corporation,
which was placed in the hands of a
receiver Thursday.

juggled for a period extending back at
least three years is charged in a cir
cular sent out by the interested bank
ers, who also set forth that in the
company's statements, $1,2OO,OOO had
been deducted from the liabilities and
the books made 20 balance by SINH
lar juggling in the asset column.
By reason of this manipulation 1t is
alleged the corporation has been en-
abled to float paper that otherwise
might not have been accepted by the
purchasers.
Charges Most Serious
So serious are the various charges
that it was predicted the failure would
find an echo in the criminal courts.

in any questionable transactions.
