MRS. MURRAY, WELL KNOWN
PHILANTHROPlST, EXPIRES
Had Resided In Los Angeles Since
1884, and Was Prominent in
Charitable Work

Mrs. Inez Young Murray, well known
Tor her kindly charity and work among
those less fortunate, died yesterday
morning at the family residence, S17T
West Fifth street.
Mrs. Murray was born in Woodstock,
Ohio, and removed to Illinois in 1876,
when she was married. She came to
Los Angeles in 1884 and had resided
here continuously since.

the Working Girls home on East

one of the managers o. the chrysan-
themum fairs held at Simpson ta5er-
nacle, and contributed largely in time
and talents in the building of that
church.
Of late years she had been connected
with the boards of the Orpn.lrs' hume
and Newsboys' home, until failing
health compelled her to give Up her
labors in this direction. She was
greatly intereted in the charities of
Motley H. Flint and the Mobiles
of the Mystic Shrine, and, in spite Of
her critical condition, rendered them
great service during their Christmas
relief work.
Mrs. Murray is survived by her l1us-
band, John E. Murray, an only son,
Emmett Y. Murray, and three broth
ers, Warren s. Young of this city, and
J. z. Young and P. S. Young of Chi
cago.

DRAGGED FOR BLOCKS
BY RUNAWAY HORSES
Foreman of Van Nuys Ranch Prob
ably Fatally Injured, Lines Loop
ing Round His Feet as
He Falls

William Ferguson, about so years old,
foreman for the big Van Nuys ranch
at San Fernando, probably was injured
fatally yesterday morning by being
dragged along the pavement for four
blocks by pair of young horses. He
was driving them to a light spring
wagon when they became frightened
at a passing street car and ran away
at Temple and Alvarado streets. Fer
guson sustained fracture of the skull
and was badly cut and bruised about
the head, face and body. He was TAX
en- to the receiving hospital and later
removed to the Sisters hospital, where
he is in a critical condition.
The horses were being broken to har-
ness and had been driven from the
ranch to the city. AS Ferguson was
nearing Alvarado, at Temple street, the
animals became unruly, and when a
street car approached they SHE'D,
reared and dashed into the curb. Fer
guson exerted all his efforts to retain
his seat, but was thrown out. In some
manner the lines became entangled and
looped about his feet as he fell. The
horses dashed madly down the street,
dragging after them Ferguson, whose
head was bumped against the pave
ment and car tracks as the horses
tackled from side to side in their mad
fight.
After being dragged four blocks the
lines parted and released Ferguson,
who rolled several feet into the gutter
Several persons rushed to his aid. He
was unconscious and bled freely from
the numerous wounds on his head, face
and arms. The police ambulance was
summoned and he was taken to the
receiving hospital.
Ferguson is we'll known in this city
and to the ranchers in this part of the
country, having been employed by the
Los Angeles Flour and Milling compa-
ny, which operates the Van Nuys
ranch, for many years.

A gang of burglars which, the police
think, consists of several youths, en-
tered the grocery store and meat mar
ket of Lucas Bros, at Tenth street and
Normandie avenue, Tuesday night
After breaking the costly cash register
into small pieces and obtaining $67 they
took a number Of pies and cakes and
threw them about the place
When the store was opened yesterday
morning the place had the appearance
of having passed through a cyclone
Scales, fixtures, canned goods, meats
and other articles were dripping with
remnants of sticky pies. The floor was
strewn with cookies and loaves, which
had been broken into fragments.
Entrance was obtained by cutting a
panel from a rear door.
Several boys, according to a bulletin
issued by the police, were seen loiter-
ing about the place late Tuesday night
and they are suspected of having COM
mitted the burglary.
The cash register was smashed be-
yond all hope of repair, entailing a loss
of $500, the sum paid for the machine
a short time ago.
