GOES INTO CANYON
CORONER AND UNDERTAKEN
ESCAPE INJURY
Leap from Motor Car Before 1t
Plunges over Ledge, While Wicker
Basket with Body Falls
on Rocks

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, July 13.-
Hurled over the grade into deep can
yon on the grade to Democrat Springs
at one o'clock this morning, an automo-
bile carrying Coroner McGinn, Under
taker A. II. Dixon and the body of
Thomas Leatherdale, who died Sunday
at the springs, fell 100 feet, crashing into
a pile of boulders while the wicker
basket containing the corpse rolled
down the canyon until the rocks stop
ped it. The men leaped from the auto
mobile before it jumped the ledge.
The party left here Sunday evening
due to return yesterday morning. They
ran out of gasoline and Driver Dilser
walked many miles after supply,
Thirst compelled the others to drive
the automobile in search of water and
after waiting until l o'clock this morn
ing for Dilser's return, they resumed
the trip homeward without him.
The brake refused to work and they
damned the engine in holding the car
When they started it the speed clutch
was on and the car shot over the edge
The basket and body were not damaged
but the car was battered to a wreck.
The canyon is over thousand feet
deep at that point and only boulders
prevented the car going to the bottom

One Contest in Doubt
The result of the contest for grand
esteemed loyal knight is still in doubt,
neither of the four candidates for that
position receiving a majority of the
ballots cast. A second ballot will be
had this morning, and more if neces-
sary. 1t is thought likely that suffi-
Gent strength will be developed by one
of the two leading candidates to deter
mine the matter on the next ballot.
A determined effort is being made by
the friends of Arizona's candidate
Frank e. Lee of Yuma lodge No. 476
TO bring the honor to the territory
which is soon to be admitted to state
hood. Although small in population

Greeted with Applause
With bands playing, and colors fly
iEg, the Detroit drillers finally were
| escorted from the track by the white
squadron drill corps. The entire drill,
which was performed like clockwork,
was heartily applauded by the crowds
in the grandstand.
Following the exhibition of the De-
troit Elks, their rivals for military
honors, the Elks of Oakland lodge, No.
III, for almost an hour delighted the
spectators with another series of
unique and intricate drills. Thirteen
Oakland Elks, dressed to represent the
trumpeters of the time of Charles /.
marched upon the track and played
several selections on their long horns.
The trumpeters were clad in costumes
of velvet, red stockings, red velvet
Jackets with blue sleeves and blue
trousers. The large, loose cap of
Merry England" and ruffs about the
sleeve and neck completed a most
novel attire.
The Oakland drill corps of "a mem
bers and commanded by J. X. Ritter
followed the trumpeters and executed
several novel drills, forming the let
tiers B. P. O. E., an elks head and sew
eral other unique formations.
Fine Cane Work
A prominent feature of the drill OF
| the Oakland men was their cane work
which greatly added to the entire per-
| Torrance Rest canes, and the
| "a pairs of arms moved as though they
were parts of one giant machine.
Charge canes, and "a trim brown legs
shot forward as though impelled by
the same poweR The Oakland Elks
were encored again and again for their
remarkable performance. The men
were dressed in regulation khaki cos
tunes and presented a formidable APP
pearanCe.
The two drills were competitive and
keen rivalry was felt between the con-
| tending teams. A large bunch of Oak
land rooters had accompanied their
corps to the park and, after each clever
maneuver Oakland yells filled the air.
Col. w. G. Schneider and Captain G.
E. Heber of the California regiment
and Captain L. S. Chapleau of the
United states artillery carefully noted
! the performances of the two corps and
followed them up and down the track
! in their various maneuvers.
| Several bands were also present, in

ELKS DRILL CORPS GIVES
FINE SHOW TO CROWD OF
5000 AT ASCOT PARK

A crowd of nearly 5000 persons at
tended the exhibition drill and Japan
csc fireworks held yesterday afternoon
at Ascot park. The old grandstand,
which has held so many enthusiastic
gatherings, was once again filled to its
utmost capacity. Purple and white
parasols red, white and blue bunting
and thousands of pretty costumes COM
bined to make the afternoon one of the
most notable of ElkS' week festivities.
From behind a purple and white
screen in the center of the enclosure
was discharged what was considered
to be the finest exhibition of japanese
daylight fireworks ever shown in this
country. A puff of smoke, a family
observable streak, another puff OF
smoke high in the heavens, and a
large elk, a United States flag or a
myriad of toy balloons would appear
from seemingly nowhere.
Several life size elks of the four
footed variety, were unfolded high in
the air and drifted slowly downward
grotesque figures in purple and white
Parachutes carrying flags also mys-
teriously appeared in the ether as well
as a larger flock of American eagles
which scared gracefully away.
Detroit Leads Drill
Following the fireworks, the drill
corps of Detroit lodge, B. p. O. E.,
composed of SO members, formed in
line, in what was once the betting ring
and, preceded by the band of Los An
geles lodge, No. 50, and the white
squadron drill corps, marched through
the paddock and onto the track in front
of the grandstand. Commanded by
John Colquohoun. the company,
dressed in trim bluish-gray uniforms,
with white stripes down the legs and
the golden elk head upon the cap, sur
mounted by the numerals "a, executed
a series of difficult and graceful
maneuvers.
Down the track marched the troop,
their white shoes flashing, their knees
bending in long line as though hung
on a single pivot. A right wheel and
the three platoons swung and re-
traced their steps, Interviewing with
out the slightest clash. Another well
executed maneuYer was performed
when the corps formed what is known
as the star formation, using the De-
troit Elks banner as pivot. Sud
denly the troop appeared to be thrown
into the widest confusion but grace
fully emerged and, four abreast
marched down the track amid the
cheers from the grandstand The corps
was somewhat handicapped by the alb
sence of one OF the four platoons of
