CORPORATION GRABS
CAUSE INDIGNATION
HASTE OF CITY OFFICIALS is
CONDEMNED
Citizens Stirred Up Over Trustees
Apparent Anxiety to Grant Valu-
able Franchises Asked by
Foes of Consolidation
Especial to The Herald

ISpeCidl 10 1 ne SAa'u'l
SAN PEDRO, June. 16.-The numer-
Gus applications for franchises made
yesterday by the Banning company,
the Southern Pacific and the Pacltlc
Electric, together with the two APP
plications for saloons across the bay,
have created furry of talk here.
Everyone is discussing the latest
move in the corporation monopoly TO
make a final grab" before consollda-
ton with Los Angeles takes place.
This is the general opinion expressed
and the unwarranted haste of Trus-
tees Walton, Tilton and Duffy, the
three members present yesterday,
gives strength to the opinions Of the
majority that the city officials are
anxious to hurry the special privl-
leges through before Los Angeles can
intercede.
No time for discussion, no attempt
to receive a consideration for the val
liable Southern Pacific franchise or to
find out the feeling of the citizens
here was made. The action by the
board was carried out as a program.
The date suggested by Attorney
Karr was entirely satisfactory and no
time was lost in instructing the clerk
to advertise for bids July II at 10
o'clock.
Today the official organ of the city
publishes the five franchises in full
and if any citizen cares to bid over
the five Banning applications he can
appear July II and raise the bid 10
per cent. The ordinance granting the
fifty year railroad franchise over the
same territory was, without comment
placed on it's first reading.
Citizens and property owners are
indignant over the unwarranted haste
of their public servants, but no rem
edy seems to be at hand.

When resistance had ceased the body
was removed to the house. 1t was
from traces of this that the deduction
that two men had been working to-

Garcia could not, in the opinion of the
deputies, have been dragged by one
man without leaving a wide blood
smeared trail in the dried grass. A
trickle of red alone showed the re-
moval. Carried into the house the cell

thrown down stairs and the door
slammed after the pockets had been
gone through and the contents taken.
SLAIN WITH OWN RIFLE
Beside the rifle a revolver, both "A

rifle had an empty shell in it and the
perforation of the body showed that
this was the weapon which had been
chosen. Evidently the murderers en-
tered the house after observing that
Garcia was in the corral and made a
deliberate choice of firearms. Step

to his shoulder, took careful aim and
shot his victim down. Then the fin
