DETERMINES AMOUNT TO
BE RAISED BY TAXATION
Property Values Increase Two Hum
dred and Thirty Thousand
Dollars in Last Year

ONTARIO Aug. 4.-The city council
held a special meeting Monday evening
for the purpose of fixing the amount
Of money to be raised by taxation dur
ing the coming year i'm Ontario. The
library assessment was increased from
$500 to S2600. This increase was largely
due to the able speech Of the president
of the library board when presenting
the yearly report The amount to be
raised for the bonded Indebtedness on
the sewer fund in the original limits of
the town is $607 and that to be raised
on the old Water fund $500. The amount
assessed for the bonded Indebtedness
and interest on the municipal improve
ment fund is $2625. For the general
fund, from which the majority of bills
are paid, there is to be raised the sum
of $4,000.
While these amounts are said to be
slightly higher than last year. except
ing where the principal is being PAID
on bonded indebtedness, still the prop
erty values i'm this town, according to
the report of the county assessor, have
increased from $,140,735 to S1,37O,OS5
during the past year.
The regular meeting of the councll
was held Tuesday night. An ordinance
was passed making it misdemeanor to
ride bicycles on the sidewalks, fixing
the penalty at a fine of $50, thirty days
in the county Jail, or both. All bicycles
must also be equipped with lamps one
hour after sunset hereafter.
The board will hold special meeting
next Tuesday night for the purpose of
discussing the water problem. There
have been several propositions made
by citizens and outsiders to furnish the
town with water, or to sell the town
completely equipped water plants but
the members of the board seem to be
undecided

LONG BEACH BRIEFS

LONG BEACH, Aug. 4.-Lloyd Lynn,
accused of stealing John Kricks auto
mobile yesterday, was arraigned before
Justice Brayton and placed under bond
in the amount of $500 to await a pre-
liminary hearing. An actor named
Harris who was with Lynn, was not
held.
Two score of newsboys were rounded
up this afternoon by Chief of Police
williams and escorted to the police
station, where he gave them an earnest
lecture on the subject of rowdyism
about the Pacific Electric depot. The
lads said they would behave hereafter.
Numerous complaints have been made
about the youngsters acts. An initia-
tion of new newsboys is said to be a
favorite but rough pastime.
The fact that there were $50 paid
admissions last night at the session of
the Southern California Spiritualists'
congress, in the sun parlor, indicates the
interest taken in the lectures by John
Ring of San Diego and the message
seances by John Slater. The congress
has four sessions daily, with tests and
seances, and with considerable musical
entertainment.

BODY OF MEXICAN IS
FOUND IN MOUNTAINS
SUPPOSED MAN WAS THROWN
FROM WILD HORSE
Finding of Saddled Animal inning
Loose in Canyon Leads to ln-
Vestigation Which Results in
Discovery of Corpse
Especial TO the Herald. ]

SANTA ANA, Aug. 4.--The body of
Nick Oliveras, Mexican who with
his mother resided at Ell Toro, was
found i'm the mountains yesterday
about fifteen miles north of Capistrano.
The man had evidently been dead for
several days and the assumption is
that he was thrown from a horse and
fatally injured.
Oliveras had a mining claim in the
mountains and he left home for there
last Friday. Monday the driver of the
Hot Springs stage found 0liveras' sad
die horse running loose in the canyon
and tied the animal to a tree, thinking
it had got awav from its owner who
would be close by in search of IT.
When the stage came back next
morning the horse was still there and
the driver told of the circumstances
to friends. who began a search which
ended with the finding of Oliveras' body
about two miles from the latter's cabin
on his mining claim. Examination
showed that the mans body was con-
siderably bruised, but no bones were
broken.
Oliveras had shot a deer and it is
supposed his horse took fright at the
discharge of the rifle and ran away
and that he roped another horse from
a band running on the range, which
either fell on him or threw him with
sufficient violence to cause fatal injury.
This supposition is fortified by the find-
ing of an unbroken horse nearby with
a rope around it's neck and trailing on
the ground.
Sheriff Lacy and Coroner Smith
started for the scene last evening and
were all night getting the body to FL
Toro and holding the inquest. which
resulted in the finding of a verdict in
accordance with the facts stated.

STOCK RIGHTS ARE
REVOKED BY OWNER
"WARRENS OF VIRGINIA" MAY
BE PUT ON ROAD
Belasco Management May Conclude
Production of War Play This
Week Owing to News from
New York

Word was received late yesterday
afternoon by the management Of the
Belasco theater, from the offices Of
David Belasco IN New York, that the
stock rights for David Belasco and

would put two companies on the road
in the production.
1t is understood that the western
company will be under the personal di-
rection of Frederic BelascO of San
Francisco, and will play all the larger
cities of the west, as during the orig
inal three years run of the play it
never came west Of Chicago. Although
crowded houses and box office state
ments both gave every indication that
the local production of the play would
run for many weeks this will in all
probability cause Encouragement to
withdraw the production on Sunday
night.
Captain Jones stated last night that,
owing to the great success of the local
production, he would make every effort
to secure the rights for a second week
of the piece and sent a telegram to
David Belasco last night in an en-
dcavor to secure his permission.
1t was rumored about the theater
last night that Frederic Bolasco had
made an offer to David NJ Hartford
to head one Of the road companies i'm
the role of Gen. Buck" Warren which
Mr.. Hartford is playing here. When
asked concerning the rumOr, Mr.. Hart
ford stated he is thoroughly satisfied
to stay with the BelasC0 company, He
has purchased a bungalow in the city

George Kernaghan, r. H. Lockwood
and William Thums are among those
who sent in the minority report at
the last conference of the citizens

one or all of these men would accept
appointments to a commission which
should investigate thoroughly the con-
dition of the water companies III the
city and then acting on this knowl-
edge, propose the purchase of the
plants at a price consistent with tha
values of the different outfits.
Mr.. Kernaghan, who has made a
careful study of the water question,
is regarded as one of the leaders of
the opposition and with him and the
other members of the minority on the
commission, 1t is suggested that the
public could see that the proposition
to bond the city is one in the interests
of Pasadena and not, as was broadly
intimated in the last bond election
when the issue failed to carry by a
small number of votes, more for the
benefit of stockholders in the water
companies than for the benefit of the
residents.

To Secure Land for School

SANTA ANA, Aug. 4.-The board of
education will probably be forced TO
bring a friendly suit in condemnation
to secure title to a piece of property
needed for high school purposes, al
though appraisers appointed by mu-
tual agreement of the board and the
guardian of the owners of the pro-
perty placed a valuation on the pro-
perty that was supposed to be salts
factory. 1t developed, however, that
the man appointed as guardian of the
owners of the estate failed to qualify
for the position and now the delay
incident to givens a bond and secur-
ing an order of court to enable him to
transfer the property will make 1t too
late for the boards purpose. n friend
ly suit in condemnation, however, Will,
it is said, enable the title to be vested
in the board of education within the
time limit allowed for erecting the
building which is to occupy the site.
