Looking back through years

wonders often if it were really
possible that the mind of a child
could be so adjustable, and that
the soul of . child could be SO
easily satisfied with things they
are, or as they can, by childhood

Husband for Carrying Pistol
and Making Trouble

rigan, aged go years, who says he is
the oldest living Native Son of the
Golden West, left today for the wilds
of Arizona, where it doesn't cost so
much to carry gun as here. Yes
terday he paid a fine of $40 for carry
ing a concealed weapon and $15 for
disturbing the peace. His vivacious
young wife and j. T. Kempley also
were fined SIS for disturbing the peace.
They all have been living at Long
Beach.
The trouble in police court all came
about because Kempley, who is
blacksmith with a family Of his own,
has been paying more attention to
Carrigan's wife than the old native
son thought was proper Sunday
Kempley and Mrs. Carrigan came over
here from Lcng Beach and Carrigan
followed with an old Colts revolver
in his belt big enough to look out Of
place anywhere except in a cowboys
belt. He stood at the Wilmington
station and watched every car, wait
ing for a young woman with red hair
and a blacksmith. When the car
upon which the pair were returning
home arrived Carrigan wasted no time
in getting aboard and starting rough
house. officer Karr happened to be
on the car, and with the assistance
of the conductor succeeded In prevent
ing a tragedy just as the old man got
his hand on his six-shooter. A car
window was broken in the fracas but
no one was injured.

BIC FLOOD TIDES AGAIN
THREATEN LONG BEACH
Waves Encroach on Theater Wall
and Building CrumbleS.
Owners Alarmed

LONG BEACH, Oct. 1S.-The water
front here is again endangered by high
tides, backed by heavy ground swells.
Last night and this morning, when the
tide was six feet two inches, the en-
croaching tides undermined a narrow
strip of concrete paving, sixty feet
long, south of the Unique theater, and
it fell crumbling to pieces. The Burk
apartments and numerous houses
along Seaside boulevard were almost
touched by the water, and would have
been wrecked but for the banks Of
sandbags that were piled up at the
time of the last scare.
The roller coaster was endangered
and stacks of sandbags were piled
about it to save it. The property own
ers along the front we're considerably
disturbed at the prospects of heavy
swells tonight. The tide will be two
inches higher tomorrow and next day,
and will then go down an inch on Fri
day. There is danger that more of
the walk, particularly that along the
front west of Hotel Virginia, will be
undermined and wrecked
People are at q loss to understand
the frequent recurrence of the swells
and tides. This year they have en-
dangered property a number of times.
The unusual and puZzling situation
elicits many attempts at explanation,
but none so offered seem satisfactory.
Some believe that the condition here
Is coincident with the disturbances
along the eastern coast.

SANTA ANA MAN FINDS
NEW ELECTRICAL POWER
Inventor Produces Cheap and
Powerful Current Cells from
Treatment of Carbon

SANTA ANA, 'Oct. 1s.-Julius ].
Krohn, acandy maker Of Santa Ana,
may have achieved an electrical tri-
umph that will bring him wealth and
fame. He has invented an apparatus
that looks like a bell ringing instru-
ment, but which in reality | san ar
rangement of primary cells that
achieves an instantaneous lighting Of
incandescent lights. 1t is claimed that
these cells are the strongest by 100
times of any cells in existence and are
produced with not more than four
ounces of fluid. Under his discovery
Krohn claims that chemical energy suf-
f1cient to operate, street railways and
automobiles with almost unbelievable
cheapness can be produced. The Sc
cret lies in the treatment of the carbon.
That Krohn is familiar and success
full with electrical experimenting is
shown by the fact that he is said to
have produced the Columbia dry cell
for the National Carbon company of
Cleveland in 1878, he then being in the
employ of that company.
