Among the motor clubs of the coun-
try none works more seriously ana
effectively for the good of automobile
dom and those interested in automo-
biles than the most excellent organlza-
ton known as the San Francisco Motor
club. It's officers are most efficient,
and while there is not a great deal OF
noise made in the northern city over
what the club is doing, 1t usually ac-
complishes something when the prop
osition before 1t secures the advocacy
of the members.

San Francisco county is surrounded
with counties on the north, east and

several tflts have occurred with IN

club is deeirous Of working in harmony
with the several boards Of supervisors
with which members are apt to come
in contact, and has addressed the
boards Of the adjoining counties in
salient terms a letter we'll worth read
ing and which is as follows:
1--WE believe the time has arrived

and to grant them equal privileges and

ties of the state of california.
There can be no question in the
minds of those who look into the flu
turc that the motor vehicle will finally
take the place Of the beasts of burden -
The letter hits the nail sduarely on
the head. invites harmony Of interests
without autagouism, and there can be
n doubt but what a rich reward awaits
the counties that meet the question
fairly and give to all users Of the roads
equal rights.

The enterprising firm of Seeley, Van

of the testimony of a private soldier

Thousands of Angecnos Seek Enjoy

Thousands of Angelenos made the
trip TO the Crescent Bay beaches yes
terday, making one of the record
crowds of the season. With the arrival
of the first cars in the morning the
large numbers of the visitors was ap-
parent, and as the day wore on the
multitudes increased until at o'clock
cars. arriving at five minute intervals
discharged many hundreds of people
who quickly scattered to the various
points of interest
While three and four car trains on
the Los Angeles Pacific electric lines
were frequent. the company ran one
six-car train which was the center OF
attraction on its arrival at WindWard
avenue. With the motors of all cars
but one in service, twenty in all. the
train dashed along the "Short Line
division at a high rate of speed, not
at all unlike one of the fast express
trains on some continental trunk line.
Arrived at Venice, the disembarking
resembled the migration of small
city. some 800 persons alighting and
taking their ways toward Windward

Surf Black with 8athers
The beach was the Mecca of many,
and in tire afternoon the surf was black
with bathers. Hundreds who preferred
indoor bathing visited the bath house
until the attendants were sorely put
to it to scrape up enough bathing suits
for all.
On the Strand at Ocean Park thou
sands of persons promenaded on the
broad cement walk, sat in groups on
the beach or enjoyed the stimulation
of a plunge in the surf, while the Plaza
could hold no more, SO great was the
crowd gathered there for the afternoon
band concert.
An estimate made by an expert
placed the number of automobiles that
visited the beach between the hours of
10 I'm the morning and in the after
noon at 800. and probably half that
number arrived after that time. Alto
gether it was a perfect day, such as
have been rare during the present sea-

sea breeze to take away the discom-
fort of the heat.

of people to horse racing is being di-

the terrific speed obtained in the Speed

attract greater crowds in the future

Necessarily there is always the chance
of defect or accident of some kind
present to the racer travelling at such
speed; the loss of a tire, the breaking
of a vital part of machinery or other
trouble, but when the end is figured
out it is not much worse to be killed
going at a seventy-mile gait than to
be mangled running at a twenty mile
jog. The element of dare is inherent in
man. and as long as speed can be at
tanned the desire to excel will ever be
present and uncontrollable.

Of GLENDALE
IS IN town
WORTH STATES THAT LEASERS
ARE HARD AT WORK DE-
VELOPING.

j. G. Worth, the well known Salt
Lake mining man, who is interested
in several leases at Glendale, is in
from that district, and states that
all the leasers are hard at work de-
veloping their holdings.
On the lease owned by Mr.. Worth
on the Sandstone claim, the first
set of timbers has been installed
and the force is preparing to seek
depth with the least possible delay.
The tunnel that is being sent in
to intersect the ledge of the big
strike, is expected to tap the high
grade within the next few days.
They have about ten or twelve feet
yet to go according to the calcula-
tions, although this distance may be
greater according to the dip Of the
vein.
Mr.. Worth will return to the
camp within the next day or two
and after spending a week there
will take a short trip to his home
in Salt Lake where he is called on
important business.

Concerning the article that APP
peared in an evening newspaper of
this city yesterday, and agitating
that a mass meeting be held to OBJ
ject to the Tonopah and Goldfield
railroad company removing its shops
from this city, a representative of
the Bonanza asked Superintendent
Hanlon last night concerning his
idea as to the reported removal.
1.-The exact site for the new shops
has not been definitely settled up
on" said Mr.. Hanlon, although the
company has fine substantial
buildings at Millers and it is prob
able that the new location will be
there. We are now. waiting to adj
just our losses caused by the fire,
with the insurance companies, and
this should be settled within very
few days"
While Mr. Hanlon would not COM
NIT himself relative to Millers be-
| ing the new location, it is more
than probable that the mill city will

ONE JUROR
IS WANTED in
FORD CASE
But ONE PEREMPTORY CHAL-
LENGE REMAINS TO BE EX-
ERCISED BY DEFENSE.

After nearly two weeks spent in
securing the jury in the case of the
state of Nevada VS.. w. F. Ford, the
jury box is nearly full and it is
thought that by tomorrow evening
the actual taking of testimony will
commence At the conclusion of
yesterdays session of the district
court there remained but one per-
emptory challenge to be used and
that belonged to the defense, the
state having exercised their allotted
number. The special venire of ten
names, which was drawn yesterday
morning has been over used, but it
is thought that the remaining four
will prove sufficient to secure the
one juror.
Since the starting of the trial the
jurors have been locked no and
they will be kept in the 3heriff's
charge until the conclusion Of the
case.
The jury would have been Sc
cured yesterday only for the fact
that two of the jurors were excused,
John Dempsey was allowed his lib
erty owing to the fact that his
wife and infant child are i'll while
John Dundson was excused owing to
the fact that he was i'll. Both had
been passed subject to peremptory

AN indian IS
bound over TO
The GRAND JURY
CHARGED WITH THE MURDER
OF INDIAN HENRY NEAR
PAHRUMP.

Deputy Sheriff Tom Marshall re-
turned yesterday morning from Rhy-
olite, bringing with him an Indian
by the name of Ed Bruce, who is
charged with the murder of another
Indian named Indian Henry.
The murder took place on July
Is and was one of the most brutal
crimes ever committed in the his
tory of this county. From what
could be learned it is understood
that Indian Henry, with his squaw
and daughter, was driving between
Whites and Pahrump, and was ac-
companied by Bruce and John Scott,
another Indian. The two latter
were on horseback. All had been
indulging freely in the white mans
firewater and engaged in fight.
Bruce after knocking Henry to the
ground stoned him to death. Then
placing the body in the wagon they
drove nearly to Pahrump where the
body was dumped face downward in
the sagebrush at the side of the
road. The little girl in the party
informed the authorities, who Sc
cured the body and held an inquest
At the preliminary hearing Tues
day Bruce was bound over to the
grand jury and on receipt of this
information Sheriff Owens dispatch
ed Marshall to Rhyolite to convey
the prisoner to this city. He is now
confined in the county Jail.
