Heavy Wheel

LONG BEACH, Nov. 1.-Two people

which boys had hauled on the track.
w. II. Narrower, the motorman, escaped
injury. The buggy was reduced 70
wreckage.
Ed Keipp. proprietor Of a First street
barber shop, found a heavy wheel re-
posing on the front porch of his resi-
dence when he arrived home after clos
ing his shop. He misjudged the weight
of the wheel, and in moving it it fell
against him. One of his legs was cut
and bruised and his right hand was
mashed and one finger was broken. He
will be unable to use the hand for at
least six weeks. according to the
physician who attended him.
The bands of Halloween mischief
makers were quiet and no arrests were

CLOTHING IN STORE IS
RUINED BY STRAY DOG

PASADENA. oct. 31.-Although the
citizens of Pasadena. both young and
old, tried to celebrate Halloween in a
BETTING style, it remained for a yellow
dog, ownerless, friendless and home
less, to put the browning touch on the
evenings doings. For twenty-four
hours he was locked in the fine cloth
ing store of F. f. Twombly on East
Colorado street, and what he didn't do
to the store and its contents isn't worth
the telling. When Police Officer ]. j.
Shelton discovered the situation just
before neon today he thought sure he
had evidence of a burglary Hastily
he called officer Hayes from across
the way and together they peered
through the plate glass windows at the
confusion. But there in the back of
the store was the solution. A dog too
worthless to wear a license tag was
quietly sleeping on a pile of frock
coats, fancy vests and striped trousers.
On a pair of foot forms were some
SO silk stockings which the dog cheWed
to ribbons. A pile of straw hats were
reduced to bits, and some fine gloves
were chewed to pieces Collars and
cuffs were scattered from one end of
the store to the other pasteboard signs
were escalloped and frayed by the an
imaIs teeth and practically everything
was sampled before the finest and best
clothing in the store was appropriated
for bed.

FOREST FIRE RAGING
IN TEMESCAL CANYON
Reflection from Fierce confIagration
Seen at Santa Monca-Relief
Expedition May Be Started to
the Burning Area

SANTA MONICA, Oct. 31.-From this
city could be seen this evening the re-
Election and smoke from what is sup
posed to be a disastrous forest fire i'm
north OF Santa Monica, along the coast.
The extent of the conflagration could
not be learned, as there is no telephone
communication with the burning area.
Temescal canyon is thickly dotted
with ranches and small houses.
Whether anyone was killed or injured
by the blaze is problematical, though it
could be seen from here that a fierce
fire was raging.
Unless the flames are seen to subside
before morning a relief expedition will
be started from here.

THREE-YEAR-OL BOY
GOES ON A JOY RIDE
ELECTRIC MACHINE CRASHES
INTO WATER PLUG
Youthful Son of Capitalist, Accom-,
panied by Faithful Dog, Enjoys,
Exciting Journey Which
Ends in Deluge
Especial to The Herald. ]

PASADENA, oct. 31-Teddy Pierce
son of Samuel Cupples Pierce, a
wealthy capitalist, went on a joy ride
this AFTERNOON. Teddy is just 3 years
old, is something less than three feet
tall and has pretty light hair and blue
eyes. His adventure took place in
the rear of the Hotel Maryland, and
while it resulted in a couple of hun
bred dollars worth of damage, his
parents and his grandmother, Mrs. w.
II. Plummer, lose sight Of this in haV-
ing their baby safe again after his
dangerous escapade.
Because the brass plug was left in
its socket in his fathers electric runa-
bout, Teddy's tour of inspection was
eminently successful in showing him
how the wheels go round. Initiating
his elders, the baby had a companion
on the journey, but not an affinity
His faithful little terrier Skidoo sat
in the machine with him and did not
desert the ship even when it plunged
into a hydrant and deluged the i'm
mediate vicinity with water.
Mr.. Pierce and his family, who have
been living at 1850 San Pasqual street,
have Just taken up their residence at
the Maryland for the winter, being in
the Maryland cottage at 81 North Los
Robes avenue This afternoon in the
absence of the little boys parents, the
electric was left in front OF the cottage,
facing north. While playing about, the
little fellow spied it, and proceeded to
investigate.
His nurse saw him in the machine
but laughed when her attention was
called to him by another maid, saying
that the circuit was broken by the re-
moval of the plug, and that he could
do no harm. But the circuit was COM
plete and when the lad gave the power
lever a pull, the runabout started
backward. Faster and faster it went
down the smooth driveway, the youth
full joy rider clapping his hands in glee.
His nurse followed on the run, too
frightened to cry out.
Fully 200 feet the electric continued
on its career at full speed, straight
down the driveway. In front of the
Eel Nido' cottage it swerved to the
left, and a crash startled a score of
hotel guests, who came running to the
scene. The electric had plunged into
a flower bed. broken an iron hydrant
off close to the ground, and bumped
into a large banana tree, a handsome
specimen, which was knocked at an
angle of forty-five degrees and only
prevented from falling by striking a
telephone wire overhead The power
of the auto was cut off by the crash.

SOCCER FOOTBALL

The Rangers association football
team defeated the Thistles eleven at
Fiesta park yesterday afternoon in a
close and fiercely contested game, the
winners scoring two goals, while the
best their opponents could do was one.
This was the second game of the sea-
son for these two teams, and the This
ties were not quite as strong in their
play as when they quit playing last
year, which accounts in small way
for their again being defeated by the
Rangers. -,
In the second half the Rangers still
held their advantage over their oppo-
nents, and shortly after the play was
started Mitchell again sent the ball
across for their second goal. This
seemed TO stir the Thistles' fighting
blood, for they rushed the ball down
the field, and McDougall, with we'll
directed shot, sent the ball past Jervis
for his teams only goal. Following
this the Thistles tried hard to even up
the score, but the Rangers held Them
and the half closed before any more
points were registered. The teams

Vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter. "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, ,Graniteville, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as infiamnation alteration, local weak nesses, fbroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclay says,i it is worth noun tains of gold " to suffering women.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-02-08

to the men the difference between $lO and SIS. but the regiment refused such aid from the State. They would ac- cept no compromise which meant that, as soldiers they were not the same as white men.
 ."They are not willing that the Fed eral government should throw mud at them." said Theodore Triton, ''even though Massachusetts stands ready to wipe it off. And perhaps it is not un- soldierly in a soldier, white or black, to object to being insulted by gov ernment which he heroically serves.
 And Horace Greeley said to the regi- ment's refusal to accept $10 a month: "It was a sublimer heroism. a loftier sentiment of horior. than that which inspired them at Wagner. They would not mutiny because of injustice. but they would not surrender one iota of their claim to equal rights"
 This question of pay for colored troops became as much as an issue Tn Congress as the Brownsville affair IS to-day. There were many bitter de- bates, many compromises off cred ana rejected, but finally, by special act or Congress. the government abandoned it's attempt at discrimination and the men of the Fifty-fourth and all other colored regiments received the full ar my pay for the full period of their ser vice.
 It required $170.000 to pay the Fifty fourth Massachusetts, and of thls the men sent home to their families more than $100,O00.
