EX-CONVICT ACCUSED OF
JOHN BALDWIN'S MURDER
Suspicion Which at First Pointed
Strongly to an Indian as the
Assassin Proves to Be
Erroneous

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. %. -
Judge" Praster, well known local
character and ex-convict, has been
charged with the murder of John Bald
win, which occurred some weeks ago,
his body being found under a Southern
Pacific culvert in the local yards a
couple of days after the murder oc-
CURED.
When the murder was first discovered
all evidence seemed to point to Frank
Morales, an Indian, but as Sheriff
Ralphs probed into the affair suspicion
seemed to point strongly to Praster,
who had been in company with Bald
win a portion of the day previous to
the time of the murder. Baldwin was
beaten to death with rocks, and after
being killed the body was hidden in the
weeds under the culvert.

LODGER IN HOUSE ADMITS
HAVING STOLEN THE MONEY

REDoNDo BEACH, Sept 2S.-Of-
'f1cers who have been working on the
clews furnished by Frank Thomas, who
was robbed of $73 in his own home
Saturday night, have cleared up the
case and the money has been restored
to it's owner.
The lodger in Thomas house, who
claimed he also was robbed of So,
caused suspicion to rest upon him by
his peculiar actions. When confronted
by the officers he at first denied all
their charges, but finally admitted that
he took the money while Thomas was
asleep. 1t is understood Thomas will
not prosecute and the matter will be
dropped.

BOOKKEEPER DRIVEN

RESORTS TO DOUBLE MEANS

Detection of Triflng Clerical Errors
in Accounts Preys on Mind of
Anahem Brewing Company
EmpIoye
[spscial to rhe Herald. !

SANTA ANA, Sept. 23.-Daniel Ehren-
beck, bookkeeper for the Anaheim
Brewing company at Anaheim, COM
mitted suicide this morning by hang
ing. His body was found suspended
from the limb of pepper tree about a
quarter of a mile from the brewery.
Ehrenbecks accounts were examined
recently by an expert employed for the
purpose, and a few unimportant cleri-
cal errors found. His employers thought
nothing of it, but the matter seemed to
prey on Ehrenbeck's mind and he had
been respondent ever since.
That the man was desperate is shown
by the fact that he slashed both wrists
with a pocketknife, and, evidently fear
ing this would not end his life, walked
100 yards to a pepper tree, climbed it,
and tying his suspenders to a limb
jumped off Ehrenbeck was a married
man and his family resides in Los An
geles.

Weeklies Raise Their Rates.

Tne subscription price of the Jour-
nal and the Witness and Mining
Times, of Platteville, according to a
joint announcement of the publish
ers, was raised from 81 to $3.50
year on January 1, 1908. The pub
fishers declare that under the pres
ent condition of business everywhere,
a good weekly paper cannot be pub
lished at the present price. Every
thing that enters into the general
makeup of a newspaper has greatly
advanced, and publishers all over the
country are seeing the absolute ne
cessity of adopting the same course
we are taking-the raise to $3.50,
some to 50. Print paper, because of
the scarcity of wood pulp, from
which it is made, costs nearly double
what It Esed to; ink, type, machinery
and all printing stock have taken ex-
orbitant leaps"

Man as Old as His Arteries.

Policemen in Chicago are to be re-
tired in the order of the hardness of
their arteries.
'It has been determined beyond
dispute that a man is as old as his ar
teries,' said Health Commissioner
Evans in explaining the plan on
which the Retiring Board will work.
"While it is universal rule that
as a man grows older his arteries
harden, yet the process of hardening
does not move evenly with the years.
The arteries of a man of fifty may be
harder than those of another man OF
sixty-five. 1t depends on the way he
has lived.
The machine for testing the arter-
les is hollow rubber band put
around the biceps of the arms and
connecting with a rubber tube which
runs to a common pump bulb in the
hand. BY working the bulb the per-
son being examined forces air into
the band around the arm until 1t
swells enough to stop the pulse. A
mercury standard attached indicates
how much pressure this takes"
