ACCUSED OF DEFRAUDING
WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
Los Angeles stonecutter Alleged to
Have Secured Money Under
False Pretenses

PASADENA, Sept. 20.-Thomas Bar
low, stonecutter of Los Angeles, is
under arrest in Pasadena tonight,
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses, the allegation being
he failed to erect monuments for which
he had collected the money. All of the
monuments were for the graves of de-
ceased members of the Pasadena lodge
of Woodmen of the World.
According to Clerk William Forbes
of the lodge, BarloW, who has now
erected all of the eight monuments in
volved, did not do so until after the
lodge discovered his part of the con-
tract was unfulflled. He states that
most of the headstones were put in
place during the first two weeks in
August.
F. A. J. Shaffer, whose address is
los South Broadway, Los Angeles,
swears to the complaint which was
served late this afternoon by Constable
Harley Newell. who was obliged to
wait in Los Angeles for the prelimi-
nary adjustment of similar cases
brought there by members of the
order.
According to Mr. Forbes, the money
was collected for some Of the monu-
ments last February By the rules of
the order a contract is entered into
with every beneficiary that a monu-
ment costing $100 will be erected. When
the stone is in place the monument
maker so certifies and the officers of
the lodge approve his certifcation. 1t
is alleged that in the case of Barlow,
he certified some of the monuments
had been erected before the rough
stone had been shipped into the state.
According to Constable Newell, the
fact that Barlow has now erected all
the monuments will work strongly in
his favor. He will be arraigned be-
fore Judge Mcdonald.

FIGHT DESPERATELY
WITH WOUNDED BUCK
DEER GIVES HUNTERS HARD
STRUGGLE
Animal, Stunned by Bullet, Attacks
Two Men, Who Finally Sue
ceed in Stabbing Brute
to Death
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO Sept. 20.-In a
desperate encounter with a wounded
deer Jacob Wilson and Charles
Grimes of this city only succeeded in
stabbing the beast to death after they
had struggled for more than an hour
and narrowly escaped serious injury
as the result of the vicious attacks of
the crazed buck.
While hunting in Fawn canyon, near
Big Bear valley, in the San Bernardino
range, the men came across a bunch
of five deer and supposedly killed one
and badly wounded another. They
trailed the wounded buck for some dis
tance, but were finally forced to give
up the chase, and returned to cut the
troat of the animal they had killed, to
let it bleed.
But instead of killing the big buck,
the bullet had but broken off one of
the prongs and inflicted a slight flesh
wound The blow on the deer's antlers
had knocked it unconscious, and as
the men were preparing to cut it's
throat it recovered from its dazed
condition and a terrific battle ensued,
The buck attacked the hunters, who
were only armed with knives, fearing
to use their rifles lest they might
wound each other.
After fighting for an hour they sue
ceeded in inflicting fatal wounds and
the deer finally ceased its struggles.

JUDGMENT IN ICE WAR
CONTROVERSY REVERSED
Appellate Court Holds Smiley and
Smith Need Not Pay Damages
to AhIers and East

SANTA ANA, Sept. 2O--Attorney F.
o. Daniel has been notified by the
clerk of the appellate court of the
Second district the judgment of the su
perior court ordering Smiley and
Smith of this city to pay damages
amounting to $3.50 to Ahlers and East,
has been reversed with instructions to
sustain the general demurrer of de-
PENDANTS, with leave granted to file
amended pleadings.
The case was one in which Ahlers
and East, at that time owners of the
local ice plant, sued for and obtained
an order of court to enjoin Smiley and
Smith from purchasing ice from the
Union Ice company, on the ground
that such purchase could not be made
without violating a contract in force
to purchase ice from the home concern
An appeal was taken from the iudg-
ment, but before it was perfected the
original owners of the ice plant had
sold out and an arrangement had been
entered into with the then owners and
the Union Ice company, whereby the
ice war was stopped and the price put
back on the old basis, and believing
that would settle it Smiley and Smith
dropped the appeal proceedings. Then
an action for damages for $2500 was
begun against them and verdict of
$3.50 secured, and on appeal from this
order the appellate court has reversed
the decision of the lower court.

Seven names, including all that have

mered down to two, members of the
police department, one of whom was
Wood and the other a new man in the

recommendations. Wood is said to
have been selected because of his
longer experience and better knowl-
edge of the city. 1t is understood he
was the mayors personal choice.
Mayor Farley states his investiga-
ton of the new cnlet record mas Deen
most thorough and that he is we'll sat
isfied with the result of today's meet
ing. Chief Favour pledged himself
after the appointment to show his
successor all the ropes and make him
acquainted with the county officers
and he spoke of him very highly.

derson, n. c.. and is SO years old. At
the age of 20 he went to Connecticut
and came to Pasadena from New
Haven six years ago. For three years
he was employed by the Pacific Elec
trio as a motorman, and June 8, 1907
was appointed to the police force,
where he has made a splendid record.
