MILLARD'S CANYON
INVADED BY FLAMES
FIRE FIGHTERS TURN OUT BY
SCORES
Scenic Section Fortunately Is Left
Untouched, and Fourth of July
Picnickers Need Not Alter
Their Arrangements


PASADENA, July 2.-Seven or eight
acres of Millard's canyon were burned
over this morning by a brush fire sup
posed to have been started by campers
last night.
Flames were first noticed on the
property of j. Swiggert at Las Casltas
shortly before 10 o'clock this morning.
The water companies, who were noti-
fed, called for the assistance of Mayor
Farley, who at once sent out nearly
fifty men. The Pacific Electric railway
furnished twenty-five more, and volun-
teers brought the total number OF hre
fighters up to nearly a hundred.
The men used lines of hose wherever
possible, but for the most part were
compelled to depend upon wet SACKS
and to check the fire by cutting away
the brush BY 1890 the confiagratlon
was extinguished past all danger.
Fortunately a large part of the scenic
section of the canyon was untouched,
and it is said that parties intending to
picnic there on the Fourth need not be
deferred from doing so.
number of houses and tents IN the
canyon, and particularly the residence
of Robert Evans, were threatened, but
the fire fighters by concentrating their
work around these places, were able to
save them all.

BODY OF MISSING MAN IS
FOUND IN SAN DIEGO BAY

SAN DIEGO, July 2.-The body of A.
P. Stevens was found floating ON the
bay this morning by James O'Connell,
deck hand on the ferryboat Ramona.
1t was floating within a hundred feet of
the place where it is supposed Stevens
was knocked from the boat by the
automobile that ran off into the water
in the Coronado slip last Friday night.
A deep cut in the head indicated
that Stevens had been struck by the
machine or by the paddle wheels of the
steamer, which probably accounts for
his drowning, as he could have saved
himself had he been conscious. He has
been missing since the night of the
accident and had been traced to the
ferryboat, but no one had seen him
since. An inquest will be held this
afternoon.

Lynching
By Associated Press.

FRESNO, July 2.-Tony Loveall, the
kidnaper of Edna Domengine, who has
been hiding in the coast range noun
tains to the west of Fresno county fol-
the last three days. surrendered this
afternoon to Sheriff Chittenden and
posse, and is now in the county jail
here.
The man was utterly tagged out with
the three days chase and could not
have held out much longer.
He denies that he had anything to
do with the kidnapping of the daugh-
ter of the wealthy stockman and eX-
pressed surprise when he heard that
his partner, Cleve Rogers, had con-
fessed to the crime and implicated
him in it.
The man was taken from under a
house near the pumping station No.
of the Associated Oil company's pipe
line, about fourteen miles west of
Coalinga. He had opened negotiations
with Sheriff Chittenden through Victor
Roberts and later through a cousin,
Charles Firman.
Afraid of Lynching
Word of the feeling in Coalinga has
reached him and he was afraid of
being lynched if he should be taken
to that place after surrendering. 1t
was for this reason that he refused to
give himself up to any one save Chit
tenden.
A wide sweep was made by the sher-
iff to avoid Coalinga and Loveall was
brought here without encountering any
demonstrations of any kind.
In speaking of the crime he said:
81 first heard of it in a saloon in
Coalinga. 1 went out with a posse and
was told by Victor Roberts, a friend
of mine, that they suspicioned me as
being the accomplice of Rogers.

me up in this trouble. Him and me was

IN THE SOUTH

There is healthy and conserve.
tive revival OF business in the South.
The tobacco, cotton and wheat
crops, so. far reported. show heavy
gains in output since last year; in
deed, as compared with commercial
and industrial conditions in the
East, the South has steadily gained.
Labor strikes are nearly unknown in
Dixie, and 80 varied and various are
the crops that a panic is hardly pos
sible here. We are not, TO any great
extent, manufacturing center, ex-
clusively, where manufacturing Is
done, but we have large agricultural
interests. In Other words, We have
"two bites at the cherry" and are
not entirely dependent on either
agricultural or industrial conditions.
When there is depression as to one
oil these we can look to the other.
This is not so insome other sections.
where they are entirely dependent.
Tor instance, on manufacting. II
there is failure in this industry, a
panic is she result, with lis atten-
dant privations and troubles. We.
therefore, think that the South is
fortunate and very much favored by
nature, as well as by the conserve
tism Of it's people.
