Occupied by the Late
Judge Smith
Special to Tho Herald.

Special to Tho Herald.
PASADENA, May 11.-Local poll
ticians and attorneys are specializing
: it'll interest on the appointment to be
made by Governor Gillett in depart
ment one to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge B. n. Smith, for
the reason that two men of prominence,
Judge Gibbs and Attorney B. F. Hahn,
both of whom are candidates for the
] '--lination in August, have said they
will try for the appointment.
Among local politicians there seems
to be a sentiment in favor of Judge
Gibbs, and at least one man of infiu-
ence has said that he will write to the
governor in his behalf. Judge Gibbs
claims strong support among the men,
bers of the bar also which, he believes,
may turn the tide in August and give
him the nomination which he failed to
get two years ago after serving a term
on the bench by appointment Hahn,
on the other hand, also is said to have
strong backing, among his supporters
being men of much influence. His
principal strength is said to be in Los
Angeles and in the county, where he is
well known by reason of his work as
attorney for the Anti-Saloon league. He
probably will have the opposition of
the liquor interests in his fight for the
nomination.

Los Angeles Lad Sinks to His Neck
and Fearless Rescuers Are in
imminent Danger of
Destruction

Special to Ihe Herald.
LONG BEACH, May 11.-Great ex-
element reigned on the beach here
this afternoon when Jimmy Adams,
the 3-year- old son of J. l.. Adams of
West Third street, Los Angeles,
stepped into a patch of what proved
to be quicksand and nearly lost his
life. The lad was on his way from
the bath house to the surf when he
suddenly began to sink. His cries at
tracted the attention of his aunt, Mrs.
Lee Lockwood, who rushed promptly
to the rescue. The boy was already
up to his neck in the sand, but she
dashed fearlessiy to his aid. only to
become engulfed herself. Her loud
calls for assistance happily were heard
by passersby, but it was only with the
greatest difficulty that those who at
once rallied to the scene succeeded in
extricatins her and her nephew, Mrs.
Lockwood being up to her hips in the
sand when finally pulled out.
Chief of Police Williams was among
the first to come to the relief and he
and Moeller, the professional lifesaver,
rendered timely aid. The latter, how
ever was also in imminent danger,
as he, like those whom he was en-
deavoring to rescue, almost immedi-
ately began to sink and had to be
hauled out by others. The bath house
lost no time in covering
up the treacherous spot in a manner
that will make impossible in the future
a repetition of what might easily have
been a double tragedy.

$40, or as many days on the rock pile,

suggested, when Allen again opened a
shop. Butler secured an injunction
but Allen failed to heed it and was
arrested for contempt. He will now
stay out of business in Ontario until
the period agreed upon has expired.
