Auto Strikes Bicycle

PASADENA July 31-Dr. Eliot
Alden, while driving his automobile to-
day, ran into a bicycle ridden by Mil
ton Newman. The boy escaped serious
injury, but he had d very close call,
the fact that he fell to the pavement
between the front wheels of the heavy
car alone saving him from broken
bones. The accident is said to have
been due to the boys fault, as he tried
to cut across in front Of the big ma
chine. DR.. Alden promptly stopped
his car and did all he could for the
boy arranging to pay for the damage
done to bicycle and clothing.

To Purchase telescope

not to lag behind in educational mat
ters, for superintendent of Schools A
/. Hamilton has recommended to the
board of education that a nine-inch
rejecting telescope be purchased for
the use of the high school, and it is
probable that the board will grant his
request. This will give the local high
school one of the largest telescopes in
any institution of its kind in the coun-
try, and perhaps the largest
Not only will the telescope be a big
one but it will be built in Pasadena
by the Carnegie institute employees
Prof. G. w. Ritchey has constructed
the instrument, and the lenses Will
probably be ground in the Santa Bar

KILLED THE JAGUAR.

The Terrible Boa Constructor of the
 Mexican Jungle.
 had been travelling for about an hour, trying to locate the source of the Santa Rita and winning every inch of ground by hacking and slash ing with the machete, when was star tied by a most fearful scream, which seemed to come from somewhere im- mediately behind me. Turning round and looking back over the trail had just made, I saw great commotiOn taking place among the vines, dead leaves and decaying branches which carpeted the ground, and the blood curdling screams had heard rang out again and again. Returning a little nearer, I discovered "tiger," or, prop erly speaking, a jaguar or American leopard, and it was writhing in the coils of an enormous boa constructor. The great snake appeared to have the side of the jaguar's head in its mouth and a coil or two of its body around the neck of the beast, which was mak' ing frantic efforts to regain its lib- erty. The snake had it's tail coiled round small ebony tree about foot In diameter, and whenever the hapless jaguar relaxed it's efforts the serpent would swiftly release itself from the tree and make an attempt to get an other coil around the body of its oppo- nent.
 stood there fascinated With horror and yet forgetting my fear in the in terest I was taking in this terrible fight between beast and reptile. Pres ently the snake with an incomprehen- sfvely quick movement succeeded ir getting two more coils around the body of the jaguar, but not without receiv ing severe laceration from the formi- dable claws of it's victim. Then, letting go the jaguars head, where 1t seemed to have firm hold, the boa constructor raised its head seemingly in triumph and, with its tail still wrapped round the tree, lifted the body of the jaguar up in tAe air. heard the bones crack under the fearful strain, and with one awful, despairing scream the jaguaK fell back, deadl - World Wide Maga zine. ......

Did 1t ever occur to you when vot. ing on the license question to consider the kind of men you are voting with ?
 We intend to insult no one, nor would we offend But we are going to state few facts, and if there is offence in them. the remedy is in your own hands.
 The man who votes for license has as his companions in that vote :- 1-Almost every criminal, for the saloon is the grand headquarters for plotting crime, a comfortable club for idle criminals, and 8 good place to pick up men to do dirty and illegal work. Besides this, as all jail and prison statistics show, no matter where taken, the vast majority of criminals are incorporate, and ad- vocates of license.
 2-PracticaIly all of that rough and tough crew called in vulgar speech "The rummies." Every brew CT, saloon keeper, bartender; every illegal dealer, for it is a proved fact that illegal selling prospers more under license than under no. license.
 3-Every keeper of gambling resorts and dens of vice too vile to mention in this column, for such men and women prosper most where the saloon exists. The debauchee and the human wreck want the saloon, for it is only in it's atmosphere and ny its goods that they can keep up a few years longer. The saloon is the ideal place for the wicked, vicious and depraved to ply their degrading trades.
 4-Almost every drunkard. A few drunkards, notably some person ally known to us in Stafford, vote "no," for they know that they are tempted when the saloon is here. But the majority of drunkards vote 'yes" with you when you vote that way.
 5-Look about you in town, and in the cities when you visit them. Put it down for an indisputa ble fact that when you vote license you vote with all the worst, toughest, most degraded and vicious people you see. It is for their interest to vote "yes.'' How can it be for yours? Now think of the class of people who, in the vast majority, vote and work against the saloon. Then think twice before you vote.

BRIEF ITEMS OF NEWS
GATHERED IN REDLANDS

REDLANDS, March 31.-A matter
overlooked by the promoters of the
mile high hill climb for Saturday is
the fact there is a law governing the
speed of an automobile over country
roads, and in order to have a run per-
mission must be granted by the district
attorney. All travel will be suspended
on the road and it will be policed to
make travel safe.
A. X. Smiley has given orders for
$4,000 feet of pipe from the Western
Pipe and Steel company of Los An
geles, to be used in irrigating the new
addition to Smiley Heights. Work will
be started on arrival of the pipe, and
as trees have been planted and more
are to be set out as the water is in,
the new park will be similar to the
present one.
Charles H. Ward, deputy grand ex-
allied ruler of the Elks lodge, arrived
in Redlands today at noon and was
taken for drive over the city this
afternoon. This evening he will be a
guest of the local Elks. A banquet
will follow the regular lodge meeting.
