fore Avalon Is
Sighted

AVALON, July 17.-Becalmed and un-
able to make any visible headway or to
get into trade winds, the yacht Wave
of San Pedro arrived here today from
San Diego ninety-two hours out of that
port. On board the yacht were j. Glib
son, jr., John Salisbury, Ben Waiting
ton and Phil Dixon, all of Los Angeles.
For sixty hours within sight of land,
the sails of the Wave tapped idly as
the boat lolled and drifted in the chan
mel. Vainly did the occupants of the
little craft try to manipulate the boat
to catch a breeze.
The party carried an ample supply of
provisions, but about dusk the last
evening the water gave out.
The first night of their thrilling eX-
perience was spent a few miles from
La JOlla, but when morning came the
disappointed men found they had drifted
far out into the open channel. Several
attempts were made to attract the at
tentiOn of passing ships apparently
bound for some southern port, but their
signals of distress were not noticed.
After arriving at this port every at
tention was given the men, and a wire
less message was Immediately dis
patched to the mainland, telling friends
of their safety.

eye than the old dingy red color which

HEADLESS BODY OF
LABORER IS FOUND
GREWSOME DISCOVERY MADE
IN SMALL CANYON
Corpse of Unidentified Man Believed
to Have Been Propped Against
Tree for Several
Weeks
fsnecial to The Herald.l

SANTA ANA, July 17.-Propped
against a tree in a sitting posture, the
body of a man was discovered yester-
day in a small canyon that opens into
Santa Ana canyon, two miles south
of the Scully ranch, near the Riverside
county line. Mike Lopez, an Anaheim
barber, found the body, which was in
the last stages of decomposition and
had evidently been there for several
weeks. The head was severed from the
trunk, and the flesh on arms and face
had been stripped as if gnawed by
wild animals.
The clothing was that of laborer,
blue blouse, overalls, coarse under
clothing and Shoes There was no hat
found, nor was there anything that
might lead to the mans identity found
on the body, and it is suggested that
perhaps the man was killed elsewhere
and the body brought where it was
found and there left.
When Lopez returned to Anahelm
last night he informed the town mar
shal of his grewsome discovery, and
that officer notified Sheriff Lacy and
Coroner Smith here, and this morning
the latter started to the scene of the
find to investigate with a view to de-
Gliding whether the death was due to
natural causes, murder or suicide.

RESIDENTS OF OAK KNOLL
WANT ASSESSMENTS REDUCED

PASADENA, July 17.-Because they
do not like their neighbors, residents
of Oak Knoll and the Oak Knoll COM
pany today filed surprising document
with the city council, sitting as a
board of equalization, asking that
their assessments be reduced.
The residents say that they have the
Wentworth hotel property on one side
and the Simons brickyard on the
other side, either one of which is
enough to ruin the value of their
holdings. In addition to this, they
argue that the presence of the Oak
Knoll car line hurts values there.
Among the men who want their
taxes reduced are Howard E. Hunt
ington, Gilbert B. Parker and r. R.
Blacker, former owner of the Hotel
Maryland.
The Oak Knoll company's unsold
property is assessed at $340, $50. 1t
asks to have this reduced to $3.50, $50,
or, in other words, cut down by $685.
730 This cuts the valuation per acre
from s2350 to $500 per acre.
Howard E. Huntington, who owns
1243 acres, wants the valuation cut
from 900 to $4,000. He says the ad-
joining property is assessed at $14ll
per acre.
R. r. Blacker wants his assessment
reduced to 900. It is now s12,5oo.
Another man objecting to his taxes
is L. V. Hardness, millionaire director
OF the Standard Oil company. He
asks that the amount be cut to S12, 500,
but does not say how much it was
fixed at.
The Oak Knoll company presents
one particular piece of property as
sessed at $4,000 and asks to have this
amount shaved to $4,000 There are
1872 acres included and it is repre-
sented that this contains no valuable
frontage, but contains the car line,
which ruins it.
The Oak Knoll people are practically
the only ones in the city who have
protested against their assessments.
