PRoeREssWEs MUST BE UNITED

l.
The stalwart conference which was
held in Milwaukee last week gave
ample evidence of the fact that unIes
the progressiyes are united on primary
election day, they will lose all they
fought for and gained in the last
decade.
The eyes of the nation are upon
Wisconsin. the pioneer of represent
tative government Men who for years
have waged the peoples fight must
be supported. 1t is not so much a
question of electing these particular
men, but the principles they stand
for must prevail. If Wisconsin reject
such men like La Toilette and NIc
Govern, the news will flash across
the country that this state was not
sincere when it threw off the yoke
of corporate control. Can the mer
who work for wages or the moder-
ately weu-to-do citizens afford to
take a chance with men who boldly
assert that the present tariff is not
high enough and whose sympathies ar
against the. people?
No millionaire can be expected
to sympathize with his less fortuna:
neighbors. His inclinations and
interests are Numerically opposed
and no good will result in putting
him in position to work against
The common welfare. Let progres-
sives unite and the result. will not

.HOLDUPS ROBAND
BEAT A PEDDLER
HIGHWAYMEN ATTACK MAN ON
MISSION ROAD
Purse Containing $40 Is Taken After
Fierce Fight and Victim Left
Unconscious in Road
way

After a desperate struggle with two
armed highwaymen, in a lonely spot
along Mission road, near the Indian
village, P. H. Riggs, a produce ped
dler, living at % South Dakota street,
Pasadena, was dragged from his wagon
and robbed of a purse containing $l40
shortly after o'clock last night
Riggs was driving slowly to his home,
happy in mind because the days sales
had been unusually large and was
humming a song when aroused by the
sudden shying of his horse, followed by
the order: Throw up your hands,
Peering through the darkness he was
able to distinguish two figures, and the
shining barrels of two revolvers. Real
izing that he was dealing with two
desperate highwaymen he attempted
to start his horse ahead, frantically
lashing the animal.
GrappIed with Robber
The move evidently was expected, for
one of the men grabbed the bride
while the other with revolver at
arms length, climbed into the wagon.
Thinking of the money he had earned
by weeks of hard labor Riggs grappled
with the highwayman and a fierce
struggle ensued,
For awhile the battle was even, as
the second highwayman was kept busy
trying to hold the horse, which had
become startled at the sudden stop and
the vigorous lashing administered by
its driver in the effort to distance the
robbers.
Finally the robber in the wagon man
aged to drag Riggs from the seat and
then he was set upon by both men. The
horse started along the road when re-
leased. For several minutes Riggs
struggled, and it was not until his coat,
vest and shirt were wrenched from
him and his trousers torn into shreds
that he fell to the ground unconscious.
Rendered Unconscious
Riggs does not remember how long
he remained unconscious, but on re-
covering found his horse about hun
dred yards north of where the attack
happened and, driving to the nearest
house. telephone to the east side
station. Every available patrolman
was put on the case and the territory
thoroughly secured, but at an early
hour this morning no arrest had been
made. Although Riggs was badly
beaten during the attack he forgot his
bodily injuries and bemoaned the loss
of his money.
During the struggle Riggs obtained
but meager description of his assail-
ants owing to the darkness. He de-
scribed the man who climbed into his
wagon as five feet seven inches tall,
short, stocky and weighing about $50
pounds. He was dark compleXioned
and Riggs believes that he was a Mex
lean. The man who grabbed the bride
is described as tall and slender, about
five feet eleven inches tall, and weigh
ing about $50 pounds. He wore a dark
suit, black slouch hat with a handker
chief about his neck, and was evidently
an American. Neither man wore
mask, but both carried revolvers.

CLAIMS PART OF
BALDWIN ESTATE
AMOUNT DEMANDED TOTALS
S14,583.24
ALLEGES MONEY WAS PAID IN
FORECLOSURE SUIT
Claimant Declares Mortgage for $500
Was Given to Pay for Interest
Which Was Said to Belong
to Another

The smoothness with which the
clearing up of the $25, 100000 estate left
by the late E. j. c'Lucky') Baldwin
has been carried on since the settle
ment of threatened contests nearly a
wear ago. it is expected, Will be marred
by the filing in the probate court today
of a claim to portion of the proceeds
of the estate.
1t was stated by the attorney yester-
day that the claim will be recorded
by him in behalf of John H. Temple,
administrator of the estate of Frank
temple. The amount demanded is
$14.5S3.24, representing $5625.S4 alleged
to have been paid by Frank Temple
in a foreclosure of mortgage sale in
1885, together with interest from that
time.
The alleged facts on which the claim
is based are that prior to May. 1877, F.
p. F. Templeton and others executed
a mortgage to Baldwin covering large
properties in Los Angeles county, and
especially in the Rancho Merced' IN
which was located the fifty-acre home
stead of F. P. F. Temple and MS VIE,
A. M. w. de Temple. Temple and his
associates. who were then seeking
funds with which to start the Work
man & Temple bank, at Temple and
Spring streets, obtained S310,225 on this
mortgage.
May 29. 1877. Baldwin brought action
to foreclose the mortgage, but While
this suit was pending an agreement
was reached whereby Mrs. Temple was
to receive fifty acres in the Rancho
Merced as a homestead. This property
was decided to her by William Alvord
holder of the legal title, but 1t is
claimed by the administrator Of the
Temple estate that before the deed
was delivered E. J. Baldwin, through
his agents and attorneys, represented
to Mrs. Temple that he was selling her
the homestead and that W. w. jenkins,
who, it is said, was employed by Bald
win, was conveying one-fourth inter
est in the property to her. Mrs. Temple
gave a, mortgage for $500, alleged to
have been demanded for the property
and, it is added. this mortgage was
forecIosed in 1886. It was redeemed by
Frank w. Temple for S5625.S4, which
with interest. is now demanded.
The facts in regard to the transac-
ttor. it is claimed by the administrator.
have been revealed only within the
last thirty days.

Clerk to Board of County Supervisors
Drops Lighted Match Into Paper
and Starts Impromptu
Blaze

P. b. Spears clerk in the board room
of the supervisors, hid behind a huge
cigar yesterday and puffed comfortably
for the length of three puffs. Then he
emitted a yell that brought those in the
room to their feet and the gaVel of
Chairman Nellis banging on the table.
Spears was surrounded almost en-
tirely by fire, caused by throwing a
lighted match into waste paper basket
after lighting his cigar.
In addition to consuming the basket
and burning a hole in the carpet, the
only other damage was the singeing of
Spears eyebrows.
1t is the second time a blaze has been
caused in a similar manner, and to pre-
vent a future occurrence of the kind the
supervisors authorized the purchase OF
an asbestos basket and ordered the
placing of a fire eXtinguisher in the
