Runaway Horse Dashes Into
a Big Crowd, But Man
Stops Progress.

BOY FALLS OUT OF A RIG,
ALlGHTlNG ON HEAD.

All kinds of excitement accompan-
led the band concert given last night
by the North End Business Mems as
sociation at Eighth and North E
streets.
At the beginning of the concert, at
about o'clock, horse belonging to
Gaar & Shurley, hitched to an empty
phaeton, dashed madly across the rail-
road directly toward the large crowd
that had gathered to enjoy the bands
program. It remained for Tracy Mil
Ter to act in the role of hero. He rush.
ed out and grabbed the horse by the
bride but was dragged for consider
able distance before he succeeded in
stopping the frightened animal. He
was not injured. The young man was
given much praise for his act, for had
he not acted promptly and had the
frightened horse been allowed to con-
tinue its mad dash through the crowd,
1t is certain that many people would
have been seriously hurt.
Boy Falls on Head.
The horse was hitched in front OF
s. s. Strattan, Jr.'s house in Spring
Grove and became frightened at a
passing automobile driven by Horace
Keelor. The horse was not hurt nor
the phaeton damaged.
Immediately following the runaway
Leonard, the small son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jesse Yost, fell out Of wagon at
the sudden starting of the horse and
was thrown forcibly on his head. He
was carried into Thistlethwaite's drug

family Of the Woman Suicide
Would Not Allow It to Be
Copied for the Press, It Is
Announced.
NOPE PASTOR CRAIG
WILL IDENTIFY HIM
Minister Who Is Alleged to
Have Married Adams and
Logansport Woman Is Now
In Seattle, Wash.

Though their faith In Frank r.
Adams remains unshaken, the close
friends Of the man who has been
charged with leading double life Il
indeed he is not bigamist as has
been alleged, are ready to admit that
they are completely mystified and
cannot reconcile the stories being cir
culated with the character of the man
% 1t appeared to them. Probably no
man who has ever come to Richmond
in busines capacity has made warm
er friendships than Frank r. Adams,
OF Indianapolis, and the men who had
grown to admire and respect the man
are still ready to say that they cannot
do otherwise than believe the clear-cut
and emphatic denial that he was the
husband Of the woman who killed her.
self at Indianapolis last week.
Where Stories Cross.
In the face Of this show of confusion,
however, comes the emphatic state
ment Of the mother of Mrs. Adams, at
Logansport that there Is no question
that Frank r. Adams married her
daughter; that he was present at the
funeral Of the woman and that he is
still held by family members as one
Of their number. The insistent claims
Of the mother and her family that the
real mistake is that Frank r. Adams
who was the husband OF Elizabeth
Adams Is not the husband of wife at
Delaware. o.. further complicates mat
ters. Among his Richmond friends
It was known that hc had q wife at
Delaware but there was nothing ever
heard among them that he had a wife
ut indianapolis until the suicide.
There is no question, it Is asserted,
that Frank r. Adams was notified at
the Westcott Of the suicide Of Eliza
beth Adams at Indianapolis, and that
he went at once to the capital city and
then to Logansport, where the funeral
took place And yet, in spite Of all
this, comes the strong denial made per-
sonally by him that he was never mar
ried to the woman.
Has Adams Double?
II there has been any question as
to the identity OF the man who has
ben conspicuous at Indianapolis,
Logansport, Richmond and Delaware,
the last vestige Of doubt seems to be
removed by the description Of the
man as printed elsewhere. In all es-
oentials they tally perfectly. II Frank
r. Adams, known to Richmond people,
has q double who has been the cause
OF oil the Arouble, the resemblance
must be wonderful. But there is lit
tie or no cause to longer make the
claim OF mistaken identity, yet the
Richmond friends of the man are
still hoping that out Of the tangled
mass there will finally develop the
real story that will at least not make
him the man he has been painted.

OFFICERS ROBBED BY PRISONER

A new Mexican sheriff and his dep uty, taking prisoner from California over the Santa Fe line last Sunday, were robbed of their guns, keys, watches and money by the prisoner, who released himself from his shack les and skipped. The deputy is Ben Williams, who has been posing as a gunfighter for years and fancies him self to be the smartest bad man that ever swaggered with badge and six shooter through the Wild and Woolly. At last accounts the outwitted officers had the fugitive surrounded some- where in the Colorado river bottoms near Needles and were hollering for grub and endorsements.

SCRAP OVER CARRIAGES
Rumor That The Fl centro Terror Was Licked by Commission
 Man.

From Coachella Valley come rum- ors of an encounter between the head of the Semi Tropic Produce Go. and a disgruntled cabbage grower, which resulted disastrously to the cabbage man.
 Dr. T. Hes. the former pugnacious landlord of Hotel Fl Centro, has been particularly vociferous and caustic in criticism of the commission concern, and has threatened law suits and all sorts of trouble. Hes has ranch in Coachella, said to have been bought with money advanced by w. D. Bethel of the Semi -Tropic Co.,
 The story is that Hes and Bethel met and debated cabbages and red ink returns with asperity. A sixshoot- CT and brass knuckles are mixed up in the story but do not appear to have been put in commission effectively. The outcome of the debate is report ed to have heen very unsatisfactory to the scrappy Boniface. Rumor even goes to the extent of averring that he was licked to a fare-yo well. This is very sad, if true.

VINEYARD PRODUCTS
Fine MaIagas Shipped From Forester Ranch--Ton of Raisins To
 Be Made.

The best Malaga grapes shipped from Imperial this year were those grown by E. b. Forester west of Fl Centro Forester sent out nearly 300 crates of Malagas and 50 crates of Muscats His Muscats were ripe be- fore grape shipments began, and only a small quantity was in condition to send to market The Malagas were in perfect condition and of the finest possible quality. Punches of more than five pounds each were taken from the vines.
 Forester intends to make raisins of the remainder of his grape crop and expects to produce about ton. It takes only five days exposure upon the trays to convert ripe grapes into raisins in this region, and because of immunity from dew, fog or damp ness in any form, the curing is cer- tain and the quality of product su- perior to that of any known raisin district.
 In time raisin making may be one of the most extensive and profitable industries of Imperial Valley.

VALUABLE HORSE BURNED
Draft Stallion Refuses to Be Led From
 Blazing Barn.

A barn and contents owned by w. H. Pool, three miles west of Fl Cen tro, were entirely destroyed by fire Monday night. The exact cause of the fire is unknown although it is sup posed that it may have caught from matches carelessly thrown down by men who were smoking. The barn was worth from 5000 to $7OO. A val uable draft stallion, owned by MT. Pool, was in the barn when the fire was discovered and every effort pos sible was made to gel the animal out. He was once led as far as the door but became unmanageable through fear and broke away and ran to his stall, later perishing in the flames. The stallion was valued at about $500.

coAcHELLA CABBAGE SALES

The cabbage growers of Coachella valley sold their cabbages f. 0. b. to the Southern California Vegetable Un- ion and received from $35 to $46 a ton The aphis pest, it is said, was as bad in that region as it was around Fl Centro, but the aphis of Coachella does not thrive and multiply in re- frigerator cars, and it is not reported that any cars of cabbages arrived at market points covered with aphis matched enroute under cakes of ice. If any Coachella cabbages were sold for freight, the growers never heard of the transaction.

MESQUITE LAKE FARMERS
Withdraw From Number One and Or.
 ganize New Mutual Water Company.

The meeting of farmers of the Mes quite Lake district, held this week at George Cannon's ranch, developed unanimous approval of the plan for withdrawal of the district from No. and formation of a new mutual water company. About fifty settlers were present, and they discussed the pro- iect in all its details with Manager Cory, of the California Development Company.
 It is proposed to build dam across the Alamo and irrigate the district with water now going to waste. The arguments of directors of No. in op- position to the plan apparently had no weight with the meeting, which decided to go ahead and incorporate the new company, and elected the following directors John Mckinney, J. H, McKim, H. l.. Peck, w. M. Wea- yer and MT. Stone.
