The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-28

Colorado Springs now has a Mayor elected under the recall principle-that IS, subject to discharge from office if his official acts do not meet the ap- prova1 of the. citizens. Suppose this recall provision had been in effect here in Bridgeport when Mayor Reynolds signed the twenty-year water contract and when Mayor Lee approved the harbor-line and car-barn surrender to the railroad! Such events as these constitute the strongest possible argu- ments in support of the recall prin- ciple.

TWO MEXICANS KILLED;
COMPANIONS SAY DUEL
Five Are Held in Jail at Santa Ana
Until Shooting at Fullerton
Can Be Investigated

SANTA ANA, April S.-Frafk Silvas'
Manuel Chavez, Manuel Midrid, r. Fer
nandez and Jesus Garcia are in the
Fullerton Jail, and Soto Miranda and
Manuel Olivas are dead, as the result
of a drunken row among gang or
Mexican orange pickers last night in q
camp near Fullerton. The men, it is
said, were all drunk and no one seems
to know just what started the trouble,
but shortly before midnight City Mar
shall Rudock of Fullerton was notified
that two men had been killed at the
Mexican camp, and going at once to the
spot found the two men dead in tent,
one with a gaping wound in his back
and the other with a bullet wound in
the back of the head and one in the
right breast, either one of which would
have caused death.
A coroner's inquest was held this af-
ternoon and a verdict returned that tho
two men came to their death as re-
suit of gunshot wounds inflicted by
persons unknown. No other verdict
was possible, Coroner Smith said to-
night, as there was absolutely no evil
dence available except a hating tale
told by one of the Mexicans under ar
rest to the effect that the dead men
had fought duel, and that no one else
fired a shot.

ENGINE EXPLODES
BUT CREW ESCAPES
LOCOMOTIVE BLOWS UP ON
MOUNTAIN GRADE
Engineer and Fireman Jump and Es-
cape Injury but Helper Wrecks
caboose by Sudden
Stop

SAN BERNARDINO, April S.-News
has been received in this city of the
terrific explosion of one of the giant
freight engines of the Salt Lake rail-
road and the narrow escape from death
of the entire train and engine crew OF
fruit train at Gina, small station
near the Nevada state line, Monday
morning shortly before o'clock.
The leading engine While mounting
steep grade near Gina suddenly blew
up, completely wrecking the locomo-
tive, but between the two conclusions
which occurred the engineer and nre-
man were able to get clear of the mon
ster with little or no injury before II
completely collapsed.
When the engine was demolished the
train came to a sudden stop, resulting
in the rear helper engine showing
through the wooden framed caboose,
entirely wrecking that car and sew
eral cars of fruit Immediately ahead
of 1t.
The floor of the caboose was showed
up and to one side, allowing the three
men, Conductor Archibald and two OF
his brakemen, to get clear OF the
wreckage with but slight injury.
It has not been definitely learned
what caused the explosion, but 1t is
probable that the fireman had allowed
the water to get low in the boiler, and
when the engine started up the steep
grade the water all backed up against
the boiler head, leaving part of the bot
tom of the boiler uncovered and with
the intense heat of the fire box play
ing on this unprotected surface it gave
way, resulting in the first explosion.

OBJECTIONABLE FLUME TO
BE TORN DOWN AT LAST
San Bernardino Gas and Electric Conn
pany Promises to Remove
Unwelcome Structure

SAN BERNARDINO, April S.-Th9
San Bernardino Gas and Electric COM
pany has announced it's intention OF re-
moving the old wooden flume USED IN
days past to carry water from wells
and creeks east of town to its power
plant on Mill street.
When Meadowbrook park was laid
out an effort was made to have the old
viaduct torn down. but owing TO nti-
cation pending between the electric
company and the Riverside Water COM
pany nothing was done.
The structure is more than mile IN
length and an eyesore that has been
a bitter topic of complaint among the
residents in the lower part of town
for years. Its removal Is one of the
terms of settlement between the water
people and the electric company In the
suit brought by the former to force
the latter to meet part of the expenses
connected with the recent suit between
the water company and j. II. Barton.

CHAUFFEUR ADMITS
lie RAN MAN DOWN
Held Under Bonds to Await Deve Iop-
ments of Case and on Victims
Life or Death De-
ponds Sentence

PASADENA, April S.-George I. Elan
merry, a chauffeur in the employ OF
Isaac Bailey of 1873 North Euclid ave-
nue., was arrested this morning as he
sat at breakfast in an East Colorado
street cafeteria and taken to the city
jail, where he confessed to being the
man who was driving the Stanley
steamer which ran down Jesse r. Gill
Hand last night and so nearly killed
the man.
Later in police court Flannery pleaded
guilty to the charge. Sentence was
withheld until April II to await devel-
opments in the case of the injured man.
How Gililland escaped instant death is
one Of the puzzles of the accident. The
chauffeur, who was on his way to meet
his employer, was going west on East
Colorado street at a high rate OF speed,
and Gililland was struck as he emerged
from North Euclid avenue on his bicy-
Gle. So terrific was the force of the
collision that the steel tubes of the
bicycle frame were not crumpled up,
but cut in two as Clearly as though
with an ak, falling on both sides of the
machine. The bicycllst was thrown q
distance of twenty feet by the automo-
bile, which kept right on going.
Later. while doctors were attending
the injured rider in a nearby drug
store, where he was carried by people
who witnessed the accident, the chauf-
feur returned for moment, but did not
leave his car 1t was on this second
trip that boy of the neighborhood took
notice of the number of the machine
and reported 1t to the police this morn
ing. r. c. Halsted, for whom Gililland
worked, swore out the complaint against
Flannery, who is at liberty under a 5000
bond pending his sentence.
Although there are apparently no
broken bones in Gililland's body, he
may be seriously injured internally.
Today on several occasions he was
seized with spells of bleeding from the
mouth, and the doctors are fearful Of
complications which may make the case
a difficult one.

FUGITIVE ATTORNEYS CLIENTS
MAY RECOVER THEIR MONEY

SAN BERNARDINO. April s.-As
the result of a suit brought by Meyer
Brothers against Attorney c. B. Nor
ris and others to close out the Morris
estate under foreclosure, it has been
announced that October l sufficient
funds will be received by well known
law firm in this city to meet all the
losses sustained by Morris clients.
Norris suddenly dropped out of sight
last November, leaving numerous eli
ents with large claims against him.
Nothing has been heard of his where
about since except very few who
now aver that he is doing well, and by
October will be in a position to meet
all claims.
Morris was the executor of a large
estate and was unable to make salts
factory report In an effort to cover
the matter up he used money which
was intrusted to him by other clients,
and finally fed to avoid a charge Of
embezzlement.

of $135 per 1000 feet.
The manager of the Edison Lighting

ARBITER SELECTED
FOR ARROYO DRIVE
W. l. GREEN WILL CHOOSE
NEW BOULEVARD LINE
Busch's Claim to Grand Avenue In
Pasadena Based on Original
Deed, Although Street Has
Been Used

PASADENA, April Sin order to
straighten out the tangle in the Orange
grove section, where Adolphus Buscn
OF ST. Louis has fenced off portion
of Grand avenue as his own and otner
property owners have squatted on the
Arroyo drive until that contemplated
boulevard is in places lost entirely the
whole matter Is to be put into the
hands of w. L. Green for arbitration.
This refers only to the Arroyo drive
difficulty, however. He was selected
this morning after a warm discussion
between Mayor Thomas Farley ana
Ernest H. Lockwood, representing Mr..
Busch. Mr.. Green will take the Ar
royo drive from the disputed territory
at Madeleine drive to Columbia street
and place it where he thinks 1t VIII
look best and join in with the scenery
to best advantage.
He will pay no attention to the orig
inal~survey or the tracks made by the
teams using the road, but will pick
out a new location which will har-
monte with the landscape gardening
of the Busch, Blossom, Warden and
other estates. the owners OF which Will
then allow the city to go ahead with
its plans for a boulevard over the land
selected. The street when completed
will be fifty feet wide and is to be
continued to the South Pasadena line,
where that city will carry it to the Los
Angeles boundaries, making an auto
mobile drive which will be unsurpassed
for beauty by any in the country.
In regard to the seizure by Mr..
Busch of full half of Grand avenue,
no compromise has as yet been effect
ed. Mr.. Lockwood, who Is in charge,
says the claim Is based on the original
deed from DR.. Lord to Mr.. Busch and
the fact that the portion of Grand
avenue which bounds the Busch estate
has never been legally dedicated by the
city, although 1t has been in constant
use as highway for many years. Mr..
Lockwood announced today that the
millionaire brewer was planning to
open his sunken gardens to the public
next season and that daily band con-
certs would be given there at the ex-
pense of the owner. 1t Is possible the
course of Grand avenue may be
changed or GONE other arrangement
effected which will allow the city to
have a full width road in that section
of the city IL Mr.. Busch is able to
prove his claims to the land around
which he has built this fence.
