I. A. Morgan Shot
By His Own Hand

l. A. Morgan, pioneer cattle raiser
and business man Of the valley, was
found lying dead on the lawn in front
of his residence at Seventh and Hamil-
ten streets with bullet through his
heart at 6:30 Sunday morning by E. J.
McAllen and f. II. McIver.
About 4:3O Sunday morning Mr.. Nc
Allen, who resides across the street
from the Morgan home was awakened
from a sound sleep by a sudden noise
which was not repeated and later he
heard groans which seemed to him to
be emanating from some person in
tie street. He started to make an in
vestigation but the moaning ceased and
be returned to bed.
Soon after daylight he made closer
Investigation and saw the inert body
of a man recumbent on the lawn in
front of the Morgan home. Mr.. Nc
Allen then went to the home of F. III.
McIver, who is associated with him in
the offices Of the Irrigation District,
and persuaded him to accompany him
ir closer investigation.
The two men turned the body over
discovering a bullet wound below the
Heart, and not recognizing the body
as that of Mr.. Morgan, whom neither
lad known personally, they entered
the open front door of the Morgan
house and attempted to rouse the fam
i'y, going from room to room in their
efforts. In an upper rear bedroom
they discovered a will and statement
cf accounts due him left there by Mr..
Morgan.
1t then occurred to them that the
body must have been that of Morgan
and they Immediately notified the
sheriff's office, and Acting Coroner L..
C. House.
The acting coroner gathered a jury
composed of Marvin Moore, F. H Nc
Iver, E. r. Stillens, Harry Barker, I.
Mayfield and James Hamilton, Jr.,
who returned verdict of suicide.
According to members of the family
early last week Mr.. Morgan had taken
Mrs. Morgan and the two youngest
children to San Diego for a rest and
returned Thursday, promising them
that he would return to San Diego
Saturday or Sunday and spend week
with them. One hundred and five dol
lars in currency was found under his
pillow after his death.
Mrs. Morgan and three children, Au-
brey, Grace and Mrs Pearl Porterfield,

Old Gang Will
Not Harmonic

Los Angeles, Aug. 21.-One of the
r:ost deplorable features of this cam
paign is the attitude assumed by the
1eactionary leaders towards Charles
E. Hughes, the Republican candidate
for president.
Governor Hughes accepted the nom
Iination for the presidency with the
hore, and in the expectation that the
various elements of the Republican
party would unite and work together
for victory. In his famous telegram
CT July 8 to Governor johnson he
said
81 desire reunited party as the
les sential agency of national progress.
We are not divided in our ideals. Let
us work together to attain them"
In every state but one through which
Governor Hughes has Travelled he has
Il I'd the cooperation of all factions and
the result has been gratifying prog
|ress.
The single exception is California,
where an arrogant standpat clique
dominates the party machinery at the
present time.
Here in California, subsequent to the
date of the above telegram, an attempt
was made by Governor Hughes,
through Chairman Wilcox Of the ma
tonal committee, to develop the cordial
and harmonious sentiment which in
other states is producing such good re-
suits.
All factions were asked to forge5
differences and unite in support OF the
rational ticket.
The response from the Progressive
Republican element was prompt and
enthusiastic.
Very different was the attitude Of
the reactionary leaders, notably OF
National Committeeman Crocker,
Chairman Keesling and Secretary OF
State Jordan. All of these men have
warned Governor Hughes not to make
any move calculated to harmonic the
elements of the party in California.
Any such attempt, judging from their
attitude, will result in the knitting of
Hughes by the reactionary element and
the swinging of California to Wilson
oft of sheer spite.
Here is what Chairman Keesling is
quoted IS saying:
"That is not Mr.. Hughes fight" he
said, "and he will be wise to keep his
Lands off. He will do well not to meet
Johnson at all"
Secretary Of State Jordan joined in
the warning.
81 have no hesitation in saying that
Hughes will better keep cut of this
fight"
So much for the regular Republic
anism" about which these gentlemen
so regularly prate.

New York. Aug 21-The allies having begun their
longexpected great offensive in the Balkans little doubt

will be able to swath between Turkey and the

But even nearer to collapse is Austria Hungary with
