MRS. FERGUSON KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
(From Saturdays Daily.)


News has been received in Pres
colt of an auto accident which over
took Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Ferguson
in Los Angeles a few days ago,
resulting in the death of the latter
and the serious injury of the for
mer.
The Inflated Slausson and Long
Beach avenue was the scene of death
and the accident was the second
fatal one to occur in the past week
at the crossing.
Particulars of this unfortunate oc-
currence related by eyewitness
are to the effect that Mr.. and Mrs.
Ferguson were driving east along
Slausson boulevard and failed 20
estimate the distance correctly. The
Redondo Beach train, travelling at a
high rate of speed, occupied the
third track. Ferguson realized his
peril only a moment before the ac-
cident. He added to the speed OF
his motor car, but could not pass
in front of the train, and the motor
car was caught broadside, being
completely destroyed. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ferguson were picked up and con-
veyed to the Croker Street hospital,
where both were found to be dan
gcrously injured, the man about the
hips and head, while the woman had
fractured skull. Her death fol-
lowed later
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson until abort
three years ago were residents of
Camp Wood and after disposing uf
their cattle interests, removed to
Long Beach and later to Los An
geles ON West First street. About
two weeks ago Mr.. Ferguson re-
turned to Prescott to complete title
to a homestead near Camp Wood.
stating at the time that he and his
wife were preparing to return here
early in February to again reside.
The death of Mrs. Ferguson is a
sad blow to her many friends III
this section, as she was universally
popular and was a most estimable
woman. Nothing further has been
learned of the condition of Nj.
Ferguson, but it is believed from
accounts received that he, also, is
fatally injured.

Then He Wooed with Fire
But How Is It with the
Modern Girl.

Probably our grandmothers
were Just as anxious to get mar
ried as any girl is now. but they
had the sumption to affect a coy
and reluctant attitude, and be-
cause a man believed that it was
difficult TO capture the citadel Of
a maiden's sffection, he wooed her
with fire, and passion, and energy.
Because she appeared indiffer-
emit to his visits, ne kept the path
TO her door hot with footsteps.
Because the most that he hoped
to win from her hand in the shape
OF letter was a line or two of
sweet, copy book, maidenly reply
to his numerous missives. he
weighted down the mails with
burning love letters.
How IS II now? The modern
girl has left him in no doubt as to
the state of her affections. She'll
say yes, end thank you, too
whenever he asks her. so he feels
that any Old love-making will do
II ne doesn't come TO see her she
calls up on the phone, and SO he
goes when there's nothing more
amusing in prospect. As for let
tara. she'll write any way. 50

the original settlers on these

Bibles OF 80 years ago, one may
learn that this flood occurred
a,S49 years before Christ To our

women are too willing. Many
things change, but human nature
never changes, and the primitive
instinct in man Is for the chase.
The harder a thing is to get the
more he wants It. Women have
forgotten this masculine peculiar

themselves to be pursued. they
have turned around and run after
