AGED VETERAN
TRIES SUICIDE
FEAR OF BLINDNESS IS CAUSE
OF DEED
Sends Bullet Crashing Through Head
at 8o4 1-2 Temple Street While
His Companions Were
Away

Realizing that he was becoming deaf,
blind and losing the use Of his legs,
Earnest Schuman, So years old, a vet
eran of the Civil war, shot himself
through the head yesterday afternoon
in his room at S041a Temple street,
and, according to the police surgeons,
the shot will result fatally.
Schuman lived with two other vet
Grams, T. c. Kendall and J. Leake, in
a small cottage, and the two men left
the home at 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. leaving Schuman in an apparently
happy frame of mind.
When Leake returned to the cottage
at o'clock last night he was sur
prised to find the door leading to
Schuman's room locked. In company
with Kendall, Leake pried the lock and
found his comrade unconscious on the
bed, with a bullet hole in his head, just
above the right ear.
Word was sent to police headquar-
ters and Schuman taken to the receiv-
ing hospital, where, after an examina
ton, the police surgeons stated that
the old veteran was fatally injured
According to the story told by Leake
and Kendall, Schuman has been wor-
rying over the fact that he was rapidly
losing his eyesight, and that he has
been doctoring without beneficial re-
suits
Two days ago Schuman remarked to
his comrades that he would see the
doctor "onSe more" to see IL he could
obtain relief. The men did not regard
the statement seriously, although they
realized Schuman worried because he
was unable to read or take much exer-
else.
Schuman is said to have some money
and with his pension lived comfortably.
According to his comrades, he came to
Los Angeles from San Francisco short
ly after the earthquake. He is ma
tive of Kansas and member of tho
Tenth Kansas infantry in the war Of
the rebellion. He has no relatives as
far as is known. The man was sent to
the county hospital last night

LOS ANGELES FIRM
BUYS LARGE RANCH
Yorba Linda of $500 Acres, in Orange
County, VIII Be Planted
to Oranges

One of the few remaining large
ranches of Orange county, a S5OO-acre
tract 25 miles from Los Angeles, has
been tbought by the Janss Investment
company of this city, which is now
selling off the property in acreage lots
for orange and walnut groves.
Yorba Linda is the euphontous Span
ish name which the ranch bears. 1t
Is in the northern part of Orange
county, a short distance from Ana
helm, Fullerton and Orange, on the
edge of La Habra valley.
The La Habra branch Of the Pa
cific Electric is completed to within
three miles of the ranch, and when
plans for the extension of the line to
Riverside up the Santa Ana canyon
are carried out, the electric road Will
pass through the center of the tract.
A branch of the Santa Fe now runs
through it.
Since the ranch was placed on the
market of Janss company has closed
contracts for the sale of $4,000 or the
property, all in small acreage pieces
Surrounding ranchers in many M
stances have been the purchasers.
The claim is made that the land is
in a frostless belt, with rich soil, ca
pable of yielding varied crops. Ad-
Joining property is in bearing orange
trees and many of the purchasers IN
the Yorba Linda ranch are planning 10
plant citrus fruits.
There is already a large reservoir on
the place, canals of the Anahelm
Union Water company traverse the
land, and it also carries RIPARIAN rights
to water of the Santa Ana river.

WILL FORM COLLECTION OF
WESTERN FLORA AND FAUNA

A number of Los Angeles and South
ern California naturalists have formed
a plan for collection of the flora
and fauna of this part of the state and
of the west, to be installed as per-
manent exhibit in the proposed Agri-
cultural Park museum. The PROPOSE
ton originated with members of the
Cooper Ornithological club, many mem
bers of which have signitied their Will
ingness to turn over their private col
lections to the museum, provided they
are assured the collections will be
properly cared for. This will form
nucleus to collection which viii
eventually represent every part OF the
west.
Among the collections promised IS
the one owned by Virgil Owen, deputy
clerk of the United States district
court, which comprises almost every
known western reptile.

dondo where he has been passing MS

until two weeks ago, and says that up
to the time he left there never had
been a complaint concerning the food.
"Our instructions were to serve the
best food to be had" said he, and we
did so. The men were given mueh
better meal for 25 cents than could
be had in the city, and fresh vegetables
were served at least once each week
and sometimes oftener."
Mr.. Wallace said that 100 men were
fed at these camps, and that the best

CIRCUS MECCA.
FOR THE KIDS
SCHOOL LOSES CHARMS FOR
A DAY
RingIing Brothers Offering This Year
One of the Cleanest, Brightest
Shows Seen Here in
Years

A state law was knocked out in the
court of boydom yesterday. This law
provides that all boys of school age
shall be in school every school day.
1t Is a law that has been tested care
fully and upheld repeatedly But see
ing the circus is the first law of boy
nature and the state provision was
nullifed. When the circus interferes
with school, young America usually
gives up school.
And what a circus! The Ringing
Brothers have pitched their magic
city on the Washington street and
Grand avenue grounds again this year,
and are offering attractions simply lr-
resistible. All the old stunts-the
time-worn acts, the moss-grown jokes,
the stereotyped antics, the conven-
tional program-are there. All the
ideas that curcus men have used to
make circuses possible in the last 4OOO
years, or since Noah struck Mount
Ararat and debouched his menagerie
into the valleys round about, are in
cluded in the schedule of the Ringing
shows.
Most wonderful to behold-there are
some new ones. There is the north
pole and its intrepid discoverer There
is a new brand of clown on horizontal
bars. There are three horses which
Jump through hoops borne on high
wagon, and are finally carried Off IN
that wagon like children to a picnic.
There are two women, swinging nigh
in the air, who suddenly let go and
fall thirty feet like catapults ana
then-just as they are about to strike
the earth and be reduced to the least
common mutiple-gos flying off at the
end of a rope swung there for them.
And last but not least there is the
little Frenchwoman who allows herself
to be bound with chains and ropes
in q tiny automobile, to shootS down
an inclined plane on 45 per cent
grade into a valley, up a short incline
and then-horrors!-stra into the
air, machine and all, to be whirled
over twice and to land at last safely
enough on a great thick mattress. on,
there are wonders enough, and the
half cannot be seen by one pair OF
eyes, let alone told by one rickety type
writer and lot of cold type!
The beauty of the circus is its new
ness and freshness, the spick- -and-span-
ness of all the accoutrements, the ex-
cellent condition of the animals, the
brightness of the gilt and brass work
on every3hing, the sheen of the silks,
the glory of the banners and the excel
lent condition of all the members of
the great troupe,
The show moves with a snap and go
that is very seldom seen here in a
circus. 1t is the best display that has
been here in several years.

"LADIES OF ROAD"
PUT UNDER ARREST
Mrs. Vera Gum Says She Intended
Beating" Way to San Fran.
cisco to See Sick Hus-
band and Baby

Wearing slouch hats and clad in
overalls, Mrs. Vera Gum and Miss
Gladys Selman were taken into Gus
tody at Ninth street near the river
bed yesterday afternoon and booked
at police headquarters on charges of
suspicion.
According to the women, Mrs. Gum,
who recently was released on a sus-
pended sentence for vagrancy, and
who a short time ago deserted her hus-
band at San Francisco, received news
to the effect that her husband and
4-year-old son were i'll with brain
fever, decided to make a trip to the
northern city.
Not having any money and desirous
of again seeing her husband and son,
Mrs. Gum visited a secondhand cloth
ing store and purchased male attire OF
a cheap nature for herself and friend,
Miss Selman.
Yesterday morning, believing they
were successfully disguised, the wo-
meIr went to the railroad yard of the
Southern Pacific with the intention of
boarding a train and beating their way
to San Francisco.
Being recognized by the towerman at
the S. P. yards, the women were told
they might ride in a freight train as
far as Bakersfield.
While waiting for the train to start
a yard patrolman appeared and read
lily recognized that the two would-be
ladies of the road" were women in
male attire.
Not receiving accurate replies to his
inquiries as to why the women should
travel in such manner, he placed them
under arrest and they were taken to
police headquarters.
They will be arraigned in court this
morning, when doubtless a charge of
vagrancy win be made against the
women.
