Milton Whipple, of Hot Springs,
was in the city Wednesday. He came
for the purpose of meeting sister

nent musician, society man, soloist and
clubman of this city, as one of the
chariot drivers on the occasion of the
Tournament Of Roses New Years day,
and Z. J. Leavengood as the second
driver, the thrilling event which has
been feature of the tournaments will
take on an added interest.
Leavengood is a driver of long expa-
rience, while English viii participate
in the contest for the first time Jan

ment park has been heightened and the
curves banked at an angle which will
make the track particularly fast. 1t is
expected that new records will be set,
and the spectacle Of a prominent So
ciety man driving against one of the
best professionals in this part of the
state will be a drawing card of no small
moment.
Leavengood is training four blooded
horses from Santa Anita near Pomona,

Heart Trouble Hastens End
of J. D. Poundstone
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO Nov. 20
Placing his mouth to water faucet,
j. ID. Poundstono drowned himself in
the little Jail at Needles yesterday.
The suicide is the most novel occurring
in years in the desert regions Of this
county.
Poundstone for a number of days had
been drinking heavily, finally landing
in Jail. His actions led to the belief
that he was out of his mind, and a
physician was called in to attend him.
A few minutes after the doctor left the
prisoner was noticed STOPPING at the
faucet, but no attention was paid to
him even when he toppled over onto the
floor 1t was some time before it wa
discovered that the man was dying.
it being first thought he was drunk.
The demented prisoner had actually
drowned himself by holding his mouth
TO the faucet until he fell to the floor
unconscious
When his condition was realized ply
sicians were hurriedly summoned, but
death robbed their efforts at rescue.
He never regained consciousness ana
died within few hours. He was a
telegrapher and 90 years old.
Coroner Van VIE conducted the in
quest at Needles today 1t is thought
that heart trouble assisted the pris nar
to some extent in accomplishing his
insane purpose of committing suicide

months Ernest Ramirez is of the
same age and was there two months.
The youngest of the four is Thomas
Holmes, who is 70 years old and who
made his getaway after five days at

All the boys say they were well
cared for, but wanted some excitement.
They apparently think their escapade
a huge joke and do not appear con-
cerned at the outcome of their start

My head and eyes would ache. At
times the pain in and around my eyes,
especially the back part, was so in
tense and constant l could not use my
eyes at all with comfort either for
distance nor near work. Neither could
l use my eyes at all by night.
l could get no relief l doctored and
doctored, but the more / doctored the
worse my eyes got. My eyes felt
heavy, hot, sticky and at times as If
there was something in them. When
reading or sewing the work would
blur, the type and words run
together and fade away; everything
for a time would disappear as if had
entirely lost my eyesight. My posi-
tion as public school teacher 1 was ad-
vised to give up by prominent oculists,
as my eyesight was in imminent dan
ger.
Several oculists and opticians had
failed. 1t seemed as If they were ex-
perimenting and trying and did not
understand my case. one optician re-
fused to take back my glasses and
said; Just keep on wearing them;
they'll come out all right" The more
l wore them the worse my eyes got.
If possible, after wearing them a short
time my eyes were worse than ever
before. Two of my friends who had
consulted Dr. Rice, Broadway at Fifth
street, upstairs opposite Fifth Street
store, and who were wearing glasses
prescribed by DIR. Rice, were so high
ly pleased for the very first time since
they began wearing glasses years ago

Are Soon Overcome
Los Angeles Expert Evolves New Method of Restoring
Sight by His Special Lenses

that they advised me to consult DIR.
Rice.
In looking over a daily paper a few
days later l noticed an open statement
from Rev. r. S. Reese, a prominent
retired minister of Los Angeles, who
resides at 1880 Arapahoe street, phone
23759, who had been a minister for
fifty years and had lived here for more
than thirty years, who said: II am
highly pleased with my special glasses
prescribed by DR.. Rice; fully meeting
all requirements, giving easy, clear and
comfortable vision, both far and near
sight, and no eye strain" The desired
result was so manifest with Rev.
Reese's case 1 felt sure DR.. Rice could
cure my eyes.
At Broadway and Fifth I found
many waiting their turn to see the Los
Angeles expert. After a few minutes
examination, absolutely without ex-
pense of one cent with his up-to-date
and thoroughly scientific equipment
and modern methods, | was fully con-
was thorough and was made with
great understanding and knowledge
1t was all my friends had claimed
and that his twenty years of study of
the eye indeed had placed him fore
most in his profession.
My glasses are perfect. They give
great pleasure and comfort; my eye
troubles have long since disappeared
and now use my eyes without strain
and have no more trouble.
I heartily commend DR.. Rice to my
friends What he did for me he can
do for you. His prices are very reas-
onable.-Miss Bell Mitchell, 115 South
