PROMINENT LODGE
MAN NEAR DEATH
FORMER CITY TRUSTEE IN PRE-
CARIoUS CONDITION
Samuel L. Lent of Long Beach Grows
Worse, and Doctors Express
Small Hopes for His
Recovery
Especial to The Herald. ]

LONG BEACH, Feb. 14.-Samuel l.
Lent, former city trustee. prominent
Knight Templar and Shriner and also
a member of the Elks, %as been in a
critical condition since yesterday, and
physicians express little if any hope
he will live many more hours.
Stricken Thursday morning with
hemorrhages of the stomach. Lent has
grown worse steadily. He has had ten
hemorrhages, two occurring this morn
ing and three yesterday.
DR.. o. c. Welbourn of Los Angeles
consulted yesterday with DIR. L. A.
Perce of this city, the attending ply
sician and agreed with the local ply
sician that nothing could be gained by
an operation. The hemorrhagees have
been caused by a perforating ulcer.
The only hope held forth today was in
the chance that the bleeding might
cease, in which case there is a possi-
bility for recovery, it was said.
Lent is about AS years old and is
married He came here about five
years ago from San Francisco where
he was a contractor and where he
served as secretary of the great
Knights Templar conclave five years
ago.
He was elected city trustee on the
Independent party ticket, served two
years and recently was strongly men
toned candidate for mayor on the
ticket of the same party, at whose
nominating convention he made a bril-
liant speech.
AS president of the Long Beach
realty board for two terms, Lent ia
vored every movement which would
tend to advertise Long Beach, and
originated several innovations, the
booster stationery idea among them.

AUTOIST AND BlCYCLIST
CONTEND FOR RIGHT OF WAY
Smaller Vehicle Is Demolished, and
Owner Now Demands
Payment

SANTA ANA, Feb. 14.-The right of
way proved an interesting question to-
day when an automobile driven by Will
liam Mccullough, manager of the
Grand opera house, struck and smashed
a bicycle, the bicyclist escaping unin-
jured. The automobilist had made the
proper turning on the street having
crossed a certain intersection of tracks
on Fourth street and Main, which is
supposed to settle the right -of-way
matter
But the bicyclist demanded payment
for the smashed machine. The matter
is not yet settled. The settlement of
the contention would probably establish
a precedent for similar cases in the fu-
ture. A curious feature of the occur
renee was that in the mixup a second
bicycle struck the side of the auto
mobile.
