ed and mortally wounded upon the bat
tlefeld the Union army lost over no.
600 men and the Confederate army
over $4,000 men. This was a loss
of over 5 per CEN of the enlisted men
in the Union army and of over 10 per
cent of the enlisted men in the South
ern army.
Two thousand six hundred and
eighty-fve battles were fought. In
the two armies about 1876, 900 men
were killed and mortally wounded.
OF the Union army 224,586 died of
disease and 1925 died in prison. The
number that died of disease and in
prison from the Confederate army is
not available, but must be greater in
proportion to enlistment than in the
other rmy Besides this, over half a
million men were made cripples for
life. Countless widows and orphans
ave suffered the oss of husband and
father and have borne the hardships
and the sorrows ~unspeakable of wild
owhood and ~orphanage.
Some of the fellows that went out
into the war left young wives at home
with the light of owes young dream
still in their eyes and the first flush
of loves, glow still on their cheeks.
The tragedy of it all was that so many
of them never returned. An anony-
nous Southern poet described such
a cas- IN these words:
nook,
Where the May buds sprinkle the
green old mound,
And the winds and the birds and the
limpid brook,
Murmur their dreams with a drowsy
sound;
Who lies so still in the plushy moss
With his pale cheek pressed on a
breezy pillow,
Crouched where the light and the
shadows cross
Through the Pickering fringe of the
willow?
Who lies, Alas!
So still, so chill, in the whispering
grass?
A bright haired a with his lips
apart,
One hand thrown up DER his frank,
dead face,
And the other clutching his pulseless
heart,
Lies here in the shadows, cool and
dim,
His musket swept by a trailing bough,
With a careless grace in each quiet
limb,
And a wound on his manly brow
A wound, Alas!
Whence the warm blood drips on the
quiet grass.
TIL .iI1kz $500 .1- SL-i- $500 LoI,
With a fearful dew in their great,
pur eyes;
The lilies culver their shining heads,
Their pale lips full of a sad surprise;
| And the lizard darts through the glis-
tening fern
And the squirrel rustles b branches
hoary;
Strange birds fly out, with a cry to
battle
Their wings in the sunset glory;
While the shadows pass
Ger the quiet face and the dewey
grass.
God pity the bride who waits at
home,
With her lily cheeks and her violet
eyes,
Dreaming the sweet old dreams Of
love,
While her lover is walking in Para
disc;
God strengthen her heart as the days
go by,
And the long, drear nights of her vigil
follow,
Nor bird, nor moon, nor whispering
wind,
May breath the tale of the hollow;
Alas! Alas!
The secret is safe with the woodland
grass"
But not all of the widows were
young brides. Some of them were
women who had stood beside their
husbands already through many trials
and sorrows as we'll as through the
sweet joys of welded life. When he
war robbed them of their husbands,
life was without further interest to
them and their only desire was to go
and be with their loved ones in a
world where cruel war is unknown.

CASE CANNOT AGREE
BALLOT OF JURY STANDS SIX
FOR AND SIX AGAINST
Deputy District Attorney Who Con-
Quoted Suit Asks for Resetting
of Trial, Which viii Be
Done Next Monday

After celebrating twenty-three hours
the jury in the trial of w. II. Carlson,
charged with embezzling funds belong
ing to the Consolidated bank in March,
1905 reported to Judge Davis at 4:lO
O'Clock yesterday that they were hope
lessy split and that there was no pos
sibility of reconciling their differences.
They were discharged.

of w G. Benedict. who was chosen by
the twelve men to act as spokesman,
stood six for acquittal and six for con-
viction from the time of taking the first
ballot.
Deputy District Attorney Blair, who
has conducted the prosecution, imme-
diately asked for a resetting of the
trial. and the date will be set next
Tuesday. Owing to the full calendar
in Judge Davis court, it is probably
the trial cannot again be taken up un-
til some time in February.

WILL APPEAL TO GRAND
JURY TO VINDICATE THEM
Men Accused of Breaking Park Speak,
ing Ordinance to Take Case to
Higher Authority

J. D. Steel, C. w. Slocomb and p.
]. Riley, arrested September 10 by G.
Shibley, a special policeman, on charges
of violating the park ordinance by
publicly addressing gathering in Cen
tral mark. were refused a complaint
charging Shibley with perjury by Dep
uty District Attorney Hammon yester-
day because, it is claimed, the deputy
believed the men were trying to re-
taliate against Shibley for fancied
grievance.
The application of the three men for
a complaint was based on the testi-
mony given by Shibley during Slo-
combs trial in police court October
o. The jury disagreed, but the men
say Shibleys testimony was so at Vari-
ance with the facts that the matter
was taken to the police commission,
where charges were lodged against the
policeman Monday and the matter con-
tinued indefinitely to await the out
come of the proceedings in court.
Shibleys story that the men were ad-
dressing a crowd on the single tax
question is denied by the men, Steel
stating yesterday he was conversing
with Slocomb when he was arrested
and the only persons in the vicinity
were those occupying surrounding
benches. Riley, ne Salu, was III an
other part of the park and they did not
even know he was near at hand.
Now that a complaint has been re-
fused the men say they will submit
the matter to the grand Jury, which
will meet next month.
"It is a matter of little importance
if we are fined small sums, but the
idea that an officer can arrest man
for violating an ordinance when none
has been violated needs attention"

ROUGH RIDER SENT FOR FIVE
YEARS TO SAN QUENTIN
Former Texas Ranger, Who Scaled
San Juan Hill, Is Convicted of
Luring Young Woman
from Home

The last of the Hatfields. the single
that wiped out nearly every member
of the Mccoy and Hatfield families
was sent to San Quentin penitentiary
for five years by Judge Davis yester-
day. The man was j. w. Hatfield,
rough rider, Texas ranger and Cali
fornia deputy sheriff, but whose work
in these connections paled when COM
pared to his reputation as the man
who killed the last male member OF
the Mccoy family. the man who shot
and killed Hatfield's father.
Hatfield was charged with Turing IL
young girl. Pearl Eastman, from her
home in Ventura county and accom-
panying her to Redondo Beach, where
they began housekeeping.
Hatfield pleaded guilty to the charge,
but made one off the most impassioned
pleas for mercy ever heard in the
criminal court. This plea and certain
extenuating circumstances caused
Judge Davis to impose the lightest
sentence possible for the offense-fVe
years in the penitentiary.
II did not know the law in California
or | would not have violated it, said
Hatfield. Tn the Kentucky noun

Il have lived a clean life; l was in
the charge at San Juan hill; served
under Capt Bill Mcdonald of the
Texas rangers and recently was dep
uty sheriff at Cucamonga, where 4
closed many illegal liquor places.
These things and the fact that | hon
estly intended to marry this girl, and
still intend to marry her if she will
have me, should be taken into consid-
Grafton"
Hatfield told the court the girl vol
unfairly went with him to Redondo
Beach and with the knowledge and
consent of her grandmother. Mrs. A.
Woods of Sespe, with whom he lived.
Hatfield was tried and acquitted
several years ago on a charge of muir

Municipal Affairs
MAYOR OBJECTS TO
INCREASED SALARIES
VETOES MEASURE FOR MEAT
INSPECTORS
Council Will Be Asked to Allow Man
for Short Time to Examine
Poultry for Holiday
Market

The ordinance granting an increase
in salary to the two meat inspectors,
John f. Nelson and Fred NJ. Hughes,
was vetoed by Mayor Alexander yes
terday and his veto message will be
presented to the council when it meets
this morning at 1880. The increase
was granted by the council without
recommendation of the board of health,
and while the meat inspecors are cred
ited with being most efficient in their
particular lines Of work, the mayor be-
lieves that the increase proposed would
handicap the work of the health de-
partment, as the additional money
given them would reduce the amount
to be expended in some other needful
form. The ordinance proposed to in
crease the salaries of the two inspect
ors from $110 to $40 a month.
Economy is urged, because anothSr
meat inspector will have to be put to
work for the next sixty days to assist
in inspecting the large quantities of
poultry that are being shipped to Los
Angeles for the holiday trade The
board of health, at a special meeting
yesterday morning, decided to ask the
council today to grant one more meat
inspector for a period of sixty days.
The money that would have been used
to increase the salaries of Nelson and
Hughes will be paid to this inspector.
The mayors veto message follows:
"I return herewith, without my ap-
proval, ordinance entitled An ordi-
nance providing for the number of
persons to be employed in the health
department of the city of Los Angeles,
and fixing their compensation for the
following reasons:
Proposed Raise $50
This ordinance includes a raise of
$50 per month in the salaries of the
meat inspectors; and while I feel that
meat inspection is of the utmost i'm
portGnce and that it requires trained.
dependable men, who should be well
paid for their services, I do not see
why these inspectors should be paid
so much more than other haalth in
spectors, who also must be trained men.
This increase is being made without
the recommendation of the present
board of health, and no provision was
made in the annual budget to cover 1t.
The allowance of the budget commit
tee for this department is barely suf-
ficient to run it through the fiscal year;
and if salaries are to be raised all
along the line, without consultation
with the health board and without re-
gard to the budget allowance, the re-
suit will be either that important work
must be abandoned or that the de-
partment will go far beyond it's allow
ance. At this time such a raise as is
made by this ordinance would be un-
wise.
1T is necessary, however, that ordi-
nance No. 19027 a(new series). which the
ordinance now under considera ton
was intended to amend, should be
amended as it contains no provision
for the health officers of San Pedro,
VNrsF i
suggest that your honorable body in
struct the city attorney to prepare
such ordinance as may be necessary to
rectify this oversight and to enable
those officials to draw the salaries they
have earned and are now earning"

PURCHASER DISSATISFIED
SUES FOR STOCK BOUGHT

Judge Conrey took under advisement
yesterday the case of Mary 3. Scott
against f. c. Goodin for $500 for
shares of stock of the Eureka Mining
and Milling company, which she says
she had purchas from Goodin and
wanted to return.
Mrs. Scott said she purchased 5000
shares of the stock at 25 cents a share,
with the understanding, if she was not
satisfied with her purchase at the end
of a year, the stock would be taken
back and she would be paid 80 cents
a share. She became dissatisfied with
her investment six months after the
year expired, but when she wanted
Goodin to carry out the terms of the
agreement, he refused.
The Eureka Mining and Milling COM

Drink Plenty of Pure Water
PuritaS Distilled Water for Refresh
ment and Health

People new to California sometimes
fall into the habit of drinking too little
water, because it has a "soapy taste"
they are "rheumaticky,' and blame
the climate. It's because they don't
drink enough to flush impurities out
of the system, and what little they do
drink leaves mineral deposits which
clog the arteries
Puritas Distilled Water is a perfect
drinking water. Twice distilled, it
contains absolutely no impurity-vege-
table, mineral or bacterial. The pure
ozone forced into it gives it the sparkle
and zest of natural water. Drink
plenty of it to flush all impurities out
of the system-you'll not be "rheumat-
icky"-you'll not be easy prey for any
disease germ. Five gallons cost 40
cents. Telephone Home 1OO5Si Sunset,
