to Los Angeles to lecture and ex-
hibit slides of the Yuma homestead
land was crowded all day yesterday by
persons who wanted to know all about
Yuma and the surrounding country.
These men wish to warn all home
steaders and others interested in Yuma
land of the danger of going to Yuma
and taking land without the necessary
capital to keep their land. They want
all people who are thinking of going to
Yuma to see some one who has been
over the land or knows something
about it before they invest their
money.
There is some fine land in Yuma"
says their leader, but you must have
money to develop the land you get if
you take a homestead. One must
have $500 to pay down on the land
when he first gets it, and he must
also pay another $500 before the first
of next January. What is a poor man
cultivate the land? A poor man will
make his payment next December he
will lose his $500 and all time and
labor that he may have put on the
land. So it will pay a man to go to
Yuma or see some reliable party be-
fore he puts his fortune. in land that
will be useless to him If he cannot
develop it,"
The office of the company will be
located at 444 to 446 Chamber of Com
merce building, and they intend TO
give lectures until the end of the Yuma
land drawing, the goth of this month.

RESCUE TRAIN, SPEEDING
WITH DOCTORS. WRECKED
Mine Foreman Injured, and Fireman
on Locomotive Hurrying to
His Aid Slightly Hurt

REDDING, Cal, Feb. 2S.-Two acci-
dents, closely related to each other,
occurred yesterday at the Iron Noun
tain mine, near Kaswick. Mort Muir
ply, foreman of the mine, was de-
scending a forty-five degree incline in
a skip when the cable parted and the
skip crashed to the bottom of the in
cline, a distance of 100 feet. Both
Murphy's legs were broken and his
head bruised, but he will recover.
A special train sent to Keswick for
physicians got beyond control of the
engineer on a steep grade, owing to
the wet and slippery track and the
train crew jumped for safety. The To-
comotive and cars left the rails on a
curve and turned completely over, but
were not badly damaged. Fireman
Severman was slightly injured, but
the others of the crew escaped un-
hurt.

P. f. CONDUCTOR
KILLED IN DEPOT
CARS RUN TOGETHER AND
CRUSH OUT LIFE
OFFICIALS TO INVESTIGATE THE
CAUSE OF FATALITY
Dead Man Was Fixing Fender Pre-
paratory to Return Trip to
Santa Ana When Crash
Came

w. James Renaker. a Pacific Eec-
trio, conductor, living at the Sheridan
hotel, Eighth street and Central ave-
nue., was killed last night about 8
O'Clock in the Pacific Electric COM
panys station at Sixth and Main
streets by being crushed between two
cars. His body was terribly mangled,
and the doctor who attended stated
that death was instantaneous.
Renaker was running on the Santa
Ana division at the time the accident
occurred His car had just pulled into
the station and was standing on the
up grade at the rear of the train sheds.
A Glendora car was standing imme-
diately behind the Santa Ana car, and
Renaker stepped between the two in
order to put up his cars fender. As
he was standing in this position the
Santa Ana car, for some unexplained
reason, suddenly began to back down
the grade, and before the unfortunate
man could get clear of the two cars
he was caught between them and his
chest crushed in.
AS soon as possible the two cars
were pulled apart and ReEaker taken
out, but he was dead before any of
the bystanders could reach him. In
addition to his chest being crushed
his lower limbs were mangled and
broken and his arms mutllated.
The company's officials refused to
discuss the accident last night and
have not as yet fixed the blame for it.
1t is said that is was through no fault
OF the motorman on the Santa Ana
car that his car drifted down the
grade, and it is supposed that the
brakes were defective thorough in
vestigation will be made this morning.
Renaker had been in the employ of
the railroad for more than six years
and was one of the most popular men
in the service. He was 30 years old,
unmarried, and leaves a brother here,
Ira Renaker, conductor on the Los
Angeles & Redondo railway.

NEW GARBAGE
LAW IN EFFECT
SANITARY DISTRIBUTION Is AS
SURED
ORDINANCE REGULATES PLACING
OF CANS
Contractor Enjoined by Hotel Men,
and Vernon VIII Be Used as
Dumping Ground for
Part Refuse

Citizens of Los Angeles are warned
to put their garbage cans fifty feet
back from the property line of their
residences this morning, if there is no
alley at the rear or side of the prem
ises. Those persons with alleys will
have to put the cans not more than
twenty-five feet from the alley en-
trance.
For the first time in many years
Los Angeles today will enter on a
period of municipal sightliness, for the
garbage cans that have heretofore dec
Grated the sidewalks of the beautiful
residence district will be kept on the
premises, and Charles A. Alexander,
who assumes the garbage collection
this morning, will have to send his
men back on the premises to get the
family garbage can.
Further, a large portion of the stencil
that has afflicted the southern part of
the city will cease, for the garbage
Alexander removes must be taken five
miles from the city limits. Alexander
has arranged for this by providing a
dumping ground southeast of the city.
On this place he expects to feed gar
bage to hogs, but the Odor cannot an
noy the citizens of Los Angeles, as
has been the case with the nOg 1arnS
in Vernon, just over the city line.
But all the stencil will not cease, for
Alexander yesterday was enJoined,
temporarily, by order Of the court,
from removing the garbage from the
hotels and restaurants. This restrain
ing order was issued on complaint of
the Los Angeles Restaurantmens as
sociation and the Southern California
Hotelmen's association. The garbage
from the principal hotels and restau-
rants will continue to be fed to hogs
in Vernon until this injunction is dis
solved and permanently, if it Is not.
The restaurant and hotel men claim
that by turning over their garbage &c
Alexander they lose a source of pr6t1t.
They now sell their garbage to the
Vernon Livestock association for q
large sum annually and they wish to
continue to derive this profit from the
by-product. This Alexander also con-
sidered a source of profit and it was
with the supposition that he would
get this hotel and restaurant garbage
that he made his bid for five years
contract.
The restraining order is made return
able March Z and on that date AleXan-
der must show cause why the order
should not be made permanent.
He has provided forty new steel-coV-
cred wagons of the most modern type
in which to remove the garbage, and
has provided a transfer point on Aliso
street a block east of the river, The
garbage will be hauled to that point
and transferred to Santa Fe trains, to
be taken five miles from the city
limits.

DIVORCE SUIT RESULTS
Action Against Clifford P. lie Roy Is
Based on Charge That He
Served Prison Term

Clifford P. lie Roy, a carpenter, was
in Judge Hutton's court yesterday on
an order to show cause why he should
not pay his wife, Ruth May lie Roy,
alimony pending the hearing of her
divorce action. Owing to the fact that
the divorce trial is set for tomorrow,
the court made no order with reference
to alimony.
Mrs. lie Roy is a nurse at the county
hospital. She has sued her husband
for a legal separation on the ground
that he served a term in the federal
prison at Leavenworth, Kas., after
conviction in Chicago on charge of
interfering with the mails.

One man who twice has inspected
the Yuma lands declared, 'It was like
sentencing oneself to five years at
hard labor to accept one of the Yuma
units.

less than $500 or 1900. More would
be better For the person who has
only $1,000 the struggle will be worse
than anything imaginable. First
there is the payment of $500 down. He
has to hold out 5000 more for the De-
cember payment. This leaves him $400
to carry him through the first year
Out of this he will have to provide
himself possibly others, with food,
purchase a horse and maybe a cow
