FEAR FAMILY OF SIX
LOST IN FOREST FIRE
HEAD OF PRITCHARD CANYON
IN FLAMES
CONFIRMATION Breaks Out in Morning
and Continues All Day-Ranch-
ers Narrowly Escape
with Lives
rsnecinl 10 The Herald. !

SANTA MONICA, Nov. "A forest
fire broke out early today at the head
of Pritchard canyon, about seventeen
miles north of this city along the coast,
and has been raging all day. The dis
trict affected is very sparsely settled
and it is not thought the flames have
done much damage, but there is some
anxiety felt here for the safety of the
family of Joe Anker, which resides in
Keller canyon, adjoining Pritchard
canyon. Their home is said to be In
such a position that 1t would be prac-
tically impossible for any of the fam
ily to escape if the flames cut them
off from below. The family consists of
six persons, including four small chill
dren.
There was a very slight wind today
in that vicinity and consequently not
very much ground was burned over at
latest reports. The forest fires in that
section are devouring mostly under
brush and wild mustard, as there is
mot enough timber in the whole dis
trict to fence it," according to a recent
visitor to Pritchard canyon.
Many narrow escapes from destruc-
ton are reported by ranchers living in
the area devastated by the forest fires.
Frequently their homes have been
saved only by heroic work on the part
of all members of the ranchers' fam
lilies. At the near APPROACH of the flames
they wet down the roofs of the various
buildings, keeping this up for hours
at a time. A great part of that district
has not been burned over for several
years, and the underbrush this year
is unusually thick and dry.

TWO BOGUS CHECKS
FOR $21 ARE PASSED
MAN DRESSED AS LAB0RER
WANTED BY POLICE
Alleged to Have Defrauded Pharmacy
and Shoe Merchant with Fictitious
Certificates-Private Detec-
tives on His Trail
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA Nov. 1.-Two local mer-
chants, O. l.. Braddock of Braddock'
pharmacy, and Fred T. Higgins, a
shoe merchant, are on the lookout for
a man about 30 years old, with red hair
and dressed like a laborer. Reports
from the Union National bank this aft
ernoon showed that the stranger had
swindled each Of them by means OF
two checks. almost exactly similar.
At the pharmacy the man, who used
the name j. II. Morrison, purchased
patent remedies which indicated he was
a man of family. His appearance was
such as to excite sympathy for an
honest young carpenter. He said he
had built a house for Tom II. Hooper,
and he got safely away with about $40
in change. The check was for $2l-jusr
the amount of a weeks wages.
A little later, when trade at the shoe
store was busiest, the red-haired
stranger appeared and bought a $3.50
pair of No. 2 shoes, evidently for his
wife. He was very "fussy' and hard
to suit Then he rendered another
check made out to u. H. Morrison" by
TON H. Hooper" on the Union Ma
tional bank for s21. This time he was
made to leave an address, giving a
number on South Pasadena avenue
which was afterward proved to be tic-
titious.
Both the merchants who cashed the
checks are certain they could identify
the man. The matter was turned over
to Freeman's Detective agency as soon
as the fraud was discovered.

ONLY ONE CANDIDATE
PASSES EXAMINATION
HORTICULTURAL COMMISSION
Err NOT APPOINTED
Board of Supervisors Undecided What
to Do About Office-Four Men
Took Test to Determine
Qualifications
Special to The Herald ]

SANTA ANA, Nov. 2.-Matters hor-
ticultural are warm in this county
Evidence of that fact was shown at q
meeting of the board of supervisors
this morning when a number OF prom
inent fruit growers assembled and re-
quested the board make public the GER
titled report of the state board of eX-
aminers as to the result of the recent
examination of Orange county men for
county horticultural commissioner.
This action was the result of a rumor
that Roy X Bishop one of the men
examined, was the only one out of four
who had passed.
After an expression of opinion by
Chairman McMullen of the board of 5u-
pervisOrs that the matter had better be
deferred until the meeting of Novem-
Der Is, when the board would meet
again and the entire matter would be
cleared up, the fruit growers again re-
quested the reading of the report. Nc
Mullen then said there was no reason
why the report should not be read, and
the clerk produced the much discussed
document.
The report, certified to by the state
board of horticultural examiners, stated
that Roy K. Bishop was the only man
out of four examined for the position of
county horticultural commissioner for
Orange county who had passed. The
other men aspiring for the position
were L. w. Camfield, j. w. Morrison of
Orange and +. NJ. Crawford of Olive.
Chairman McMullen said the matter
was still unsettled, as he understood
that two of the state examiners had
passed Morrison and Camfield, and he
could not state what the legal status of
the case might be. AS it has been
generally understood that the political
push had slated Morrison for the posi-
tion, it is supposed that he is getting
the benefit of the doubt and that any
delay possible will be made.
The decision of the board of super
visors in regard to the appointment will
not be made until the next meeting.
November 16, but Attorney General
Webb, according to Attorney Clyde
Bishop, who applied to him for infor-
nation, has given the opinion that
there is no other course but for the
supervisors to appoint Roy K. Bishop
as county horticultural commissioner.

rives it is not likely that it will be

to tear down portion Of the build

that the trustees thought better of
their action and last evening filed a
protest against the action. 1t is likely
that when the engine arrives a
separate building for the fire depart

HydrophobIa Was Ever
Proved

PASADENA, Nov 2.-Placing mad
dogs in the same category as witches,
Councilman J. L. Barnes, who claims
to have Investigated the hydrophobia
question, alleged in the council session
today that no case of hydrophobia was
ever proved and that all cases were
nothing more nor less than lockjaw. ii
having been proved once that the vic
tim of a mad dog had also stepped on
a rusty nail,
Mr.. Barnes took direct issue with
City Health officer Black, who de-
clared positively that dogs recently
killed in this city were suffering from
rabies. He found evidences of the dis
ease in the brain of one of the animals
killed. and as a result presented a re-
quest from the board of health that
the council pass a dog muzzling ordi-
nance. He reported two additional
cases since the meeting of the board,
making six, and this afternoon two
other dogs were killed by request of
their owners, making eight in one
week
The council refused to take the ex-
treme measure of muzzling all dogs
temporarily (about three months, until
the danger Of the epidemic is past),
but agreed to pass an ordinance plac-
ing all dogs on chain whenever they
are on the streets.
