MINER TAKES SHOTS
AT RIVAL LOCATOR
Especial to The Herald. I

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 20.-What
came near being another fatal shoot
ing affray last Friday took place near
where DR.. Nathaniel Kuhns of Los
Angeles was killed recently, near the
Rose mine. This time a miner named
Harvey Phillips took some shots with
q rifle at r. l.. Monroe, another miner.
His poor craftsmanship was all that
saved the life of Monroe, who is now in
this city. The scene of the trouble
was on claims about three miles from
the other shooting.
Phillips has lived in that region for
years and was at one time owner OF
the claims in question. Some time ago
Monroe found the claims with the as
sessment work not done, set up his
monuments and filed on them. He took
some rock samples and went out to
have them assayed. Four days later
he returned and was met by Ph1Illps
with a gun, and the latter threatened
to kill him if he ventured on the claim.
Monroe told Phillips the property was
not worth a shooting affair, but that ne
had located it in good faith.
Monroe left, but took the first oppor-
tunity when Phillips was away to re-
turn and build his corners, and to do
some assessment work. This continued
until last week, when Monroe met Phil
lips at Bagdad. Monroe at once con-
cluded that Phillips had abandoned
the mountain property, and so fastened
to the canyon to rebuild the corners.
He had hardly got ready to commence
work when Phillips showed up, and
without warning fired three shots at
him, none of which took effect. Mon
roe disappeared in his cabin. but Phil
lips took one more shot, sending a bull
let through the window
Monroe at the first opportunity leIt
the scene and came to this city. He
will not prosecute, saying that the only
law of the desert is the rifle.

MAYOR CRACKS THE WHIP,
BUT MOST INEFFECTlVElY

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct. 2O.-A red
hot fight has developed between the
residents of the northwest section of
the city and Mayor j. j. Hanford. The
former for months past have been ask
ing for a new fire station and the sub
iect came before the city council last
night, a strong committee representing
those who want the improvement.
The mayor plainly told them that II
they would get in and boost for the new
city charter amendments. which VIII
come to a vote in a few weeks, and
sunport them at the polls, he would
support the fire station plan.
This crack of the whip angered the
committeeman and they frankly told
the mayor, in no uncertain words, that
they would surely take an interest in
the amendments, but in opposition to
them,

CAR BARN COLLAPSE
UNDER INVESTIGATION
PACIFIC ELECTRIC PROBING
FOR CAUSES
City Building Inspector Admits That
He Warned the Company 1t
Must Strengthen the
Building

PASADENA, Oct. 20.-Superintendent
]. B. Rowray of the northern division
Pacific Electric railway is conducting
an exhaustive investigation into the
causes of the collapse of the car barn
on North Fair Oaks avenue last night.
He states, however, that he will not
formulate any conclusions before Fri
day.
NJ w. Leeman, the switchman who,
as is supposed, guided the car on the
wrong track, thus allowing it to knock
down the supporting pillar, is the CEN
ter of interest. 1t is said he claims the
step of the last car hit his hand, knock
ing the chain from his hand, and allow
ing the hear truck to go on the adJoin-
ing track.
City Building Inspector A. c. Shaver
is very reluctant to tell what he knows
about the safety of the building, but
today admitted that the question had
come up two years ago, when doubts
on the subject were expressed. He had
warned the company that it must
strengthen the structure.
For some time past employees had
been alarmed about the building, and
had been thretening to complain to the
city officials.

IN BITTER WRANGLE
AT BELMONT HEIGHTS
SITE FOR CITY HALL BONE OF
CONTENTION
Trustees Leave After Stormy Session
and Second Council Meeting of
New Incorporation Closes
Suddenly
Especial to The Herald

long BEACH, Oct. 2O.-An intensely
bitter wrangle about the location of the
municipal offices of the new city of
Belmont Heights characterized the Sec
ond council meeting of the corpora
tion last night, and the session closed
abruptly when two of the new officials,
Trustees Bassett and Vanderventer, left
in a huff. One of them had moved an
adjournment, but it failed to carry.
An offer of two lots on the south side,
made by Frank Shaw, for the city hall
building, was branded as insincere by
some of the trustees, and by vote of
three to two, the president of the board
casting the deciding vote, it was re-
solved to hold the council meetings at
Zaferia on the north side of the infant
city, in small real estate office which
is owned by Trusees Ray and Brown.
They, with President Green, carried the
day for the north side. Only few
people remained in the hall after it was
seen which way the fight was going.

bona fide entry of the Franklin "Six"

stances.

bill boards placarded and the tickets
are printed. They have begun to
sprinkle the track, but have changed
their minds about oiling it. The dia-

SUPERINTENDENT BRINGS
LIBRARY WORK TO HALT
Refuses to Allow Material Shipped in
to Be Used, Claiming 1t is
Not Up to Specif-
cations

LONG BEACH, Oct. 2O.-Work on the
new Carnegie library building in Pa
cific park came to a sudden stop this
afternoon when Superintendent Beers
refused to allow some of the material
shipped i'll to be used.
On the grounds that the specifications
call for the use of crushed rock and
but little gravel he declined to permit
the cement contractor to use what
Beers said looked like screenings from
a gravel pit. The superintendent took
a position on the plank running from
the mixer to the rockpile, and the work
came to a halt. Two policemen kept
an eye on the situation but nothing
startling developed.

These Fabrics Come From Two En-

'SThe other day / heard a couple of
men arguing about mohair and alpaca,

they were different names for the same

"The assertion was very far out of
the way. The cloth known as alpaca.

animal of the same name, which
thrives only in the Andean regions
Of Peru and Chile In South America.
The alpaca, or pace. which resembles
the llama, looks a good deal like our
domestic sheep and has a most beauti-
full fleece. Great flocks of them browse
on the highest ranges of the Andes
and are the property of the native In

Baltimore some time in the middle Of
the last century, but the experiment of
raising them In the United States was
likewise a failure.
