Mr.. Pat Lee has just finished
nice cottage for F. c. Judd in
the northwest part of town. It
is a six room house with closets
enough for any purpose plped-
for hot and cold water in every
room with a bath room and sew
age connections as we'll as being
fully equipped for furnace heat.
It is very pleasantly finished IN
yellow pine and oil. The whole
effect being well designed and
executed it makes a fine home
for Mr.. and Mrs. Judd. We can
well recall our first visit to the
home of Mr.. Judd in 1886. He
was then living on claim on the
south side of Stumps Arroyo,
near where B. H. Cordes now
lives. The residenc was a dug
out y 10 and it was not finish
ed in oil, either.
The men of the Mennonite
colony are neighborly and when
there is a big job of work on the
hand they double team it, and it
is soon disposed of. On Monday
they brought in wheat belonging
to one of them and came in pro-
cession with 19 wagons, contain
in all 100 bushels of grain. The
whole had been contracted to the
Meade Grain & Seed Co.for S1.00
per bnshel. It is profitable
farming when man can load his
wagon with wheat and deliver it,
and with $50 to 500 dollars as the
price and ride home contented.

The Skull of Two Toes in
County Clerks Office.

y :
was a noted wolf ranged in south
Meade county, and in north Beav-
err county along the Cimarron
river hiding in the bluffsand sand
hills of either side, ravaging the
pastures for 50 miles UP and down
the river. In his early life he
had been caught in trap and
lost part of his toes, hence the.
name, Old Two-Toes. He was
very large gray wolf and would
drag down and kill a yearllng
steer with ease. He loved fresh
beef, rarely making a second
meal out of carcass. Thus Old
Two Toes became very expen-
sive boarder for the ranchers on
the river front. Beaver county
offered a reward for his scalp. to
which individual rancherS added
as much as $50 apiece, and the
Cattle Association also set price
on his head. But he was both
cunning and bold. Many hunt
ers and COW boys tried for the
reward offered to outwit and cap
ture or kill him. Being made wise
about traps when he lost his toes
they were of no avail in the cam
paign waged against him.
To surprise him or approach
him near enough for a shot was
also impossible and hisAraVages
continued, About this point in
his career he was joined by an
equally large, fierce black wolf.
The two made havoc, not only of
cattle, for they would, hunting
together attack a full grown cow
or steer or horse. The cattle
men became desperate and re-
doubled there efforts to rid them
selves of the robbers.
Then Willis Peoples, the colo
red ranchman of the Ciinarron,
took up the fight and said he
would win the reward, for there
was now price on the black
wolf. Mr. eoples came to Meade
to prepare for the war. In con-
versation with us he stated that
he would shore git them two
varmints." Said he, 81 shall camp
on their trail till l get them"
That is what he actually did.
When the wolves became aware
that he was following them per-
sistently, they changed their tao
tics and broke off their range.
But the old man hung on their
trail like blood hound and they
could not shake him off. His boy
brought him food and fresh hor-
ses and he stopped just where
he could no longer follow the
trail and took, up the chase at
daylight. The black wolf aban-
doning his friend~in this danger
Gus time in his life, took off to
save his scalp, but the track of

Professor Hill Delivers Second Lee
ture of Course en- Life and
Works of the Apostle
Paul

SANTA MONICA, May ga large
and enthusiastic company of young
people attended the sessions of the Los
Angeles district convention of the Ep-
worth league here today. The services
were opened by a sunrise prayer meet
ing held on the beach. Those who at
tended the meeting were well repaid
for their early rising.
At 10 o'clock Professor John G. Hill
delivered the second lecture of his
course on the life of the Apostle Paul.
The sermon of the morning service was
preached by Professor T. c. Knowles
who talked on Sin" He dwelt on the
idea that man could not throw the
responsibility of sin on heredity. He
defined sin as the consent of the will
to yield to temptation
At the O'Clock session Professor
Hill gave his third and final lecture
on the life of Paul. Then the depart
mental conferences were held. The
young peoples rally, led by Oscar
Schurmer, was crowded with delegates.
The great meeting of the convention
which seemed to be the elimination of
all of the enthusiasm of the two days
was attended by the largest audience
ever gathered in the Methodist church
There was hardly standing room
Hugh c. Gibson preached the final
sermon. The ladies glee club of the
University of Southern California rem
dered several selections, and Miss
Margaret Doyle sang Goetze's, 20

FAIL TO AGREE ON
WATER COMMISSION
OPPOSING FACTION TO MAYOR
REFUSES TO ASSIST HIM
Waterhouse Men Intend to Leave
Question in Hands of Admins
tration and Let 1t Survive
or Perish
rsnocia1 tn The Herald.1

PASADENA, May 23.-There has
been a meeting of the members of the
Waterhouse party who We're invited by
Mayor Thomas Farley to select two
members of a commission of five to
Investigate and report on the worth OF
the water franchises and properties OF
the city.
That is all there was to it-just the
meeting.
Apparently after a discussion of two
hours the men. who attended at the re-
quest of Mark Weight, decided what
ever was done was not fit for publicity,
for no one who was present will diVulge
the action which was taken. nor VIII
any one admit the two members were
selected.
1t is learned on good authority that
the meeting produced absolutely no re-
suits. They met, they talked, ana al
though some of the more conservative
members advocated an agreement with
the mayor and the selection Of the TWO
members of the commission as advised,
the more radical element seems to
have controlled the session and to have
decided that Mayor Farley should be
left to settle the water question in his
own way without any assistance from
the opposition.
1t was hoped that George Kerna-
CHAN would be one of the men selected
for the commission, because of the fact
that he has devoted much time and
thought to the water question and is
probably more competent than any
other man in his party to give the sub
ject careful consideration.
But the fact remains that the meet
ing accomplished nothing, and although
there is talk of another one, it seems
certain the opposition will adhere to
their policy of obstruction and leave
the water question in the hands of the
administration to stand or fall.
1t will be a disappointment to Mayor
Farley, who, in suggesting this method
of arriving at the bottom of the mat
ter, had in mind nothing but the good
of the city.

SANTA MONICA. May 29.-Forced at
the point of revolver held by a
burglar to tie his wife's hands, and
struck with the barrel of it when he
drew the bonds too tight, was the eX-
perience of Chester A. Bell of 100 Kim
ney street last night when he and his
wife were discovered awake by masked
robbers.
The couple were awakened shortly
after midnight by the noise of some
body moving in an outer room of their
residence. on investigating Bell came
upon two men who were searching for
plumber. They ordered him to throw
up his hands. Then, taking him into
the bedroom where his wife was lying,
ordered him to tear up a pillow case
and tie Mrs. Bells hands. In comply
ing with the demand he drew the
strings too tight and upon her crying
out the burglar struck Bell in the back
of the neck with his revolver, admon-
ishing him to be more careful. Then
the man tied the hands of the house
holder and with his companion dis
appeared.
The couple worked their bonds loose
some time afterward and Bell rushed
into the street in his night clothes
calling for help. Policeman Wood re-
sponded and started to make circuit
of the block. He turned into the
Speedway Just as Jack File, head
waiter of the Casino, was coming down
the street on his way home. Without
knowing that anything was wrong,
File turned into the alley behind Wood
and received a blow on the head which
damaged his hat. When he recovered
himself his assailant had disappeared.
This morning the police discovered a
revolver, fully loaded, and a handker
chief with holes torn out in the shape
of eyes, in the passage was in the rear
of the Bell residence. The men stole
