COOL SHFEP-ETFDING
TROUGH

Every feature of sheep raising
should be carefully studied if one
would make q success in this business.
No detail looking to their care and
comfort is toe mall to be overlooked
A flat-bOttOm trough IS better for
feeding sheep, as they will not waste
so much by taking the food out as in
the case of the V-shaoed trough.
The slower eaters also get a little
better chance. A trough with an eight
inch bottom board and fOur-inch side
boards beveled slightly so as to give
the trough q wider top than bottom,
makes a splendid feeding device for
Corn and bran mixed may be made
in any proportion. One-fOurth corn to
three-fourths bran or one-third corn.
The former is preferab bic if the ewes
are thin and until they get accustomed
to the food.
One important matter is to have a
feed lot where the feed may
be properly placed in the trough be-
fore the sheep are let into the lot: this
gives a better chance for all to get an
equal share.
It is never advisa BILE to leave Nne
weak in the main flock.
AS soon as an animal is noticed seri-
Ously on the decline take it ont Have
a lot and a shed where this class OF
ewes may be placed to recuperate un-
der a little better care and where they
will have a better chance to eat slowly
and get their allowanee.--G. W. Her

BURNED MAN IS NOW
IN COUNTY HOSPITAL
Patient Says While In Receiving Hos
pItaI He Listened to Curses of
Fellow Sufferers In
Institution

Juan Silvas. the Cudahy ranch hand
who was SO fearfully burned Monday
night, was removed to the county hos
pital shortly after o'clock yesterday
afternoon, more than eight hours after
the authorities at that institution had
been told to call at the city receiving
hospital for him, and then only when
DR.. c. H. Whitman, the superintendent,
had been told of the delay and in
formed that the dllatoriness of the hos
pital people laid him open to criticism.
In the meantime. Silvas, who was
suffering from first, second and third
degree burns over his face, arms, hands
and legs, and whose condition is very
serious, was compelled to lie in the
stuffy little ward room of the receiving
hospital listening TO the incoherent raw
ings of the insane and demented and
the curses and blasphemy of injured
DRINKS.
Before o'clock yesterday morning
the county hospital was notified that
the burned man was at the receiving
hospital and should be removed at once
to the county hospital, where he could
receive the care and attention required
and have quiet and rest, so needful to
him.
No attention was paid to the call,
and an hour or two elapsed without sign
of the ambulance. Another call was
sent, and then another, and another.
Still no attention was paid to the case,
and finally DR.. Whitman was tele-
phoned to personally. and he replied
he had not heard of the case, but
would see that it was attended to at
once. An hour later the ambulance
drifted up in front of the police sta
ton, and Silvas, who had been sub
jected to needless torture for eight
hours, was taken away.

N. Morrow Dies at Receiving Hospital
Soon After Notwithstanding
Fluid lnflcts Horrible
Wounds

N. Morrow, so years old, was burned
fatally by the explosion of coal OIL
stove which he was attempting to light
at his home at 226 North Bailey street
yesterday afternoon. He was burned
terribly about the face, arms and back
and died at the receiving hospital soon
after his arrival.
Morrow was on the second floor of his
home and was adjusting the wick of the
stove. He has been an invalid for the
last two years, and because of the cool
weather yesterday decided to have a
fire in his room. He had just f1lled the
tank of the stove, turned up the wick
and lighted a match when IN some
manner the flame reached the Oil re-
ceptacle and the explosion followed.
The burning liquid covered his race
and arms. His ears were almost burned
off and his beard and hair We're slnged
off. The blazing oil ran down his chest
and back.
He screamed for help. and neighbors
rushed in and smothered the burning
clothing with bedclothes and took him
on the roof of the front porch out Of
danger of the flames, which had com
municated to the furnishings of the
room and threatened to destroy the
place.
The fire department was notified and
the prompt arrival of a chemical en-
CINE checked the flames.
The police, in turn. were notified, the
police ambulance was hurried to the
house and the unfortunate man taken
to the receiving hospital. He was IN
conscious and only regained conscious
ness for a few seconds when he gasped
that his name was Morrow.
The body was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of Pierce Bros, and
the coroner probably will sign GER
tificate of accidental death without
holding an inquest.

CHARITABLE BODY TO
AID IN GERM KILLING

To renovate rags, men and women,
at one and the same time, is the
proposition laid before the conference
committee of the Associated Charities
yesterday afternoon by DIR. L. M.
Powers, in a paper which had particu-
lar reference to fumigating and clean
ing secondhand clothes. DR.. Powers
said that old clothes received for dis
tribution through the Associated Char
tiles were germ bearing and should,
by the operation of sanitary law, be
fumigated and purified before going
out.
This could be accomplished, he said,
by carrying out a plan suggested by
some of the women of the committee,
that a station, where these clothes
could be washed mended and cleaned,
be established, the labor to be used
to be the INDECENT poor, who could
thus make an honest living and
be self-supporting. In this manner, it
was pointed out, the clothes, as we'll
as the men and women who handle
them, would be benefited and those
who receive them at the hands of the
organization would not be subjected to
disease.
1t was suggested by the doctor the
council should pass an ordinance re-
curing that old clothes be renovated
before being distributed or made into
mattresses or carpets. He asserted
that these old clothes carried disease
germs and were a menace to the pub
lie health. The ordinance, he said,
should be made drastic. 1t was sug-
gested, after Dr. Powers had finished
his paper, that the station might be
run the same as the woodward now
operated by the Associated Charities.
The association will take the matter
up and probably will urge the passage
of the ordinance as outlined by DR..
Powers. as well as consider the matter
of establishing the station for clean
ing old clothing, which 1t is believed
could be maze seu-sustainlns.

WOMAN LOSES IN
CARPENTER CASE
WILL RECOVER NOTHING FROM
ESTATE
JUDGE SUsTAlNS ANSWER TO
COMPLAINT
Court Scores Mrs. Fannie Noble-
French chaffee in Rendering De-
cIsion-she Holds Promis-
sorry Notes

SANTA ANA, May 1S.-Judge West
of the superior court decided today
against Mrs. Fannie Noble-French-
Carpenter Chaffee in her suit to re-
cover the sum of $500 from the estate
of the late w. r. Carpenter, for which
amount she holds Carpenters promis-
sorry notes. The case was resumed
with the introduction of the evidence
of w. L. Jarrett of Los Angeles to show
that legal service of the claim had been
made on E. E. Keech. attorney for de-
PENDANT, Mrs. w. r. Carpenter, admin
istratrix of the estate.
Attorney Jarrett swore he called at
Keech's office, and finding the latter
absent left the claim on his desk, but
Keech put on witnesses to show that
Jarrett failed to state his errand when
he called and merely inquired for
Keech. Attorney Keech under oath
told of finding a copy of the original
claim on his desk on his return from
a protracted vacation, but as the law
requires the original to be served in
such cases he gave the matter no par
ticular attention.
Attorney Keech stole a march on the
plaintiffs attorneys by insisting that
certain letters introduced by plaintiff
as evidence that Carpenter acknowl-
edged his Indebtedness to the plaintiff
be filed as evidence for the defense, and
over the strenuous protest of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff che order was
made and the letters filed. These let
ters were from Carpenter to Mrs.
French and from Mrs. French to Car
penter, and for the most part were so
filled with salaoious suggestion as to
be unfit for publication in a town like
Santa Ana, and so with the exception
of certain paragraphs were not read
in court.
After a short argument by each side
Judge West rendered a decision that
plaintiff take nothing and sustaining
the answer to the complaint. Judge
West took occasion to roundly score the
plaintiff, whom he referred to as hav-
ing advanced money for immoral pur-
poses. Mr. French's son and daughter
and her husband, c. C. Chaffee, were
present in court during the hearing.
