TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. IA bill is
now being prepared for introduction in
the coming Legislature which the brew
ers believe Will effectualiy take the
liquor question out of politics for many
years to come. 1t is said that the brew
ers are practically agreed on it's pro-
visions and that they Will give it their
support. At least theya~are agreed on
its main points. 1t is said by a man
who ought to know that the brewers
have decided to make a fair, square ef-
fort to have the Legislature pass a
law that will be satisfactory to the
people OF the state and at the same
time be a good law for the business.
Up on First Day.
1t is said that the bill will be intro
duced in the house on the first day of
the coming session, and that Repre-
sentative NJ. c. Thornton of New AL
bany has been selected as the right
man to introduce it. II will probably
be bill No. or 4.
1t has taken the liquor interests a
long time to see the wisdom of rigid
laws and their enforcement, but they
have been forced to it by the certain
knowledge that if the abuses that now
exist in the majority of cities where
there are saloons are permitted to con-

Joi1n Liesenfelt, Tobacco
Dealer, Saves Old Man
From Injury and Death by
Stopping Runaway Horse
at Peril of His Life.

ohm IieSenfelt, one of the members
of Liesenfelt Brothers, wholesale to-
bacco dealers is real hero. Through
his presence of mind and daring
he unquestionably saved the life of an
unknown driver of horse hitched to q
lumber wagon which was tearing down
West state Street this morning.
Liesenfelt was standing in front of
his store when he saw bridleless
horse hitched to a lumber wagon run
ming down the street, from the direc-
ton of Morton Court, at terrific
pace
On a high seat on the wagon sat an
old man terror stricken that his
face was ashen. The bride had been
pulled off from the horses head and he
was helpless to stop the animal.
Ahead of him in the vicinity Of the
corners of State and Holman street a
street car, an automobile and several
wagons blocked the way There was
the certainty of a collision if the
frightened horse was not stopped
Sees Situation At Glance.
Liesenfelt seemed to take in the
situation a a glance. He rushed into
the street, seized the horse by the
nostrils and steadying himself by hold
| ing to the shafts he managed to
stop the animal before it crashed into
the obstructions ahead.
No one but man who is acquaint-
ed with horses would have thought of
this manner of stopping a horse and

tempt such a daring feat Liesenfel'
tried it and succeeded.

.EXT|NGUISHER EXPLODES;
INJURIES TWO F|REMEN
Fire Starts in Japanese Restau-
rant and Destroys Ad-
joining Property

SANTA ANA, July 20.-Flames con-
sumed a frame and sheet iron building
at 312 Bush street shortly after 8
o'clock last night, completely destroy
ing it and threatening adjoining valu-
able propc rty with destruction.
The building was one story, owned
by C. w. Higgins, and was occupied
by two japanese, one being Frank
Nakagi, operating restaurant, and
the other T. Sasaki, fish man. Hig-
gins sustained a damage of $3.50, with
insurance of $500. Nakagi lost $500 on
his restaurant, and Sasakfs loss was
500, neither having any insurance. The
fire department fought successfully to
save the adjoining buildings, and in
their strenuous operations two of the
firemen, T. Nj. Hill and Sid Smith
wick, were hurt by a chemical fire ex-
tinguisher from which the top was
blown, striking both men in the face
and filling Hills eyes with acid. His
face was cut with bits of glass and his
left wrist received a two-inch cash
from flying glass. Smithwick was hurt
less seriously. Hill may lose the siHht
of one eye. The fire is believed to have
originated in the Jap restaurant, where
Nakagi had left a vigorous fire in his
store while he visited Jap pool room
near by.

BACK SHOWS AN OLD WOUND
Associated Press1


SAN FRANCISCO. July 2O.-A fresh
bullet wound in the back of an un-
identified young Hebrew whose body
was found on a bench in Golden Gate
park this afternoon with a pistol
wound in his head and pistol at his
feet adds to the mystery surround
ing the circumstances of his death.
According to the police, it is a clear
case of suicide and they are of the
opinion that the wound in the back,
which was roughly dressed, will figure
prominently in the solution of the af-
fair.
Allen Garcia, a pedestrian, discovered
the body and the police removed 1t at
once to the morgue, where the wound
in the back was discovered.
The young man was well dressed.
In his hat were the initials III. R., "
and he carried two pairs of gold spec
tacles in cases stamped with the name
~. c. Fleming, 531 South Broadway,
Los Angeles, Cal" He was about five
feet nine inches in height, Of medium
build and was dressed in a suit of
dark blue serge, with white pleated
shirt and black neck tie. His derby
hat bore a San Francisco haberdasher' S
name. On his handkerchief was a
laundry mark "A-10-P." His pockets
contained only some postage stamps
and lead pencil.
The police advance the theory that
the young man feared to have his
wound dressed by a surgeon for fear
of an investigation. This wound is
between the fourth and fifth ribs and
is thought to have been inflicted about
two days ago.
Through the marks on the mans
clothes it is hoped to establish his
identity.

rectory, is an optician at the address
