McLauchlin was appointed head of the board of directors Duckworth Gets the Appointment Announcement came from Washington on Friday morning that J. W. Duckworth, recently postmaster at Loara, had been appointed postmaster of this city. Duckworth had been an active aspirant for the place, yet friends of Postmaster Littlefield felt sanguine he could not be displaced. The appointment of Duckworth, who had not been three months a resident of this city, has provoked bitter denunciations of Congressman Smith by Littlefield supporters, who freely announce their intention of carrying their fight into next summer's primaries. On a popular vote between Littlefield and Duckworth, the former would have won by practically a unanimous vote, the objection to Duckworth being upon the ground of his too recent arrival to justify the appointment. Duckworth had the support of the republican county committee, and prominent party men took up his fight. He will probably assume office as soon as his commission arrives, which will be in the course of a few days. Death Lurked in the Well Pit E. P. Munger, an erecting engineer temporarily employed on the T. W. Phelps ranch north of town, was instantly killed on Wednesday afternoon Jan. 31, while at work in a well on the ranch.

Phelps ranch north of town, was instantly killed on Wednesday afternoon Jan. 31, while at work in a well on the ranch. Munger and another man were down in the well pit, which had been deepened. He had come down from Los Angeles to set up the pump. He carried an electric light connected with the electric system. Both men stood together at the bottom of the pit and Munger carried the electric light with both hands enclosing the bulb. Suddenly he lurched forward against his companion and without a word dropped dead. Help was summoned and the dead body brought to the surface. Coroner Smith held an inquest at Backs' undertaking rooms in this city in the evening. A verdict was returned of accidental death by electric shock. The Edison company was exonerated from blame or responsibility. Munger leaves an invalid wife in Los Angeles. T. W. Phelps, owner of the ranch, who was present at the inquest, testified that he had been warned by W. E. Houston, foreman of construction for the Edison company, not to permit a light carrying the 220 volts to be carried as it would endanger the life of any one handling it. A. A Phelps, cashier of the American Savings bank, son of Mr. Phelps, corrobrated the testimony of his father. He added that he had warned Munger not to use the light. Mr. Phelps had broken the wire and taken the bulb away. He always used a candle about the pit. Munger patched up the broken cord to which the electric bulb had been attached and in spite of the warning took it down the pit with the result that he suffered an electric shock which caused his death. The widow of deceased came from Los Angeles on Friday, when the remains were interred in the local cemetery. Heavy Tourist Travel Eastern tourist travel into California continues heavy by all routes.

Heavy Tourist Travel Eastern tourist travel into California continues heavy by all routes. As a means of further tempting Easterners to visit the Golden State in winter months the Harriman lines will for the remainder of the season run exclusively first-class personally conducted excursion trains from Chicago to Omaha. The trains will consist of sleepers and diners and stops will be made at all important points. During the year just closed the Southern Pacific brought west into the State 80,000 more people than it took east. Low colonist rates from the east to California by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe went into effect February 7 and continues for sixty days. People coming west at these rates have to pay full fare if they wish to return. In the spring period of last year during seventy-six days the Southern Pacific brought west on colonist tickets 40,000 people, and for forty-seven days in the fall 37,000 more, making 77,000 for the year. Since the scheme of colonist tickets was first put into effect in 1901 the company has brought to California 240,000 people. The railroad people estimate that almost three-fourths of this number have remained in the state. Bird Beebe is entertaining C. F. Butterfield and family, old-time friends from Minnesota.

Baseball The Oil Wells lost the game on Sunday, the Hamburgers hanging it onto Young's crackajacks to the tune of 5 to 4. This makes two games only that the Olindas have lost on the local diamond this season. Charley Hartman, who has quite a pitching record, was in the box for Hamburgers and put up a quality of curves that tells the whole tale. They were of the slow downdrop vintage and caused a lull in the local lads' batting program. They were puzzlers and even Burnett farmed the air. Crips pitched for the Oils and while the visitors hit him some, they failed to score until the seventh innning rolled around when four runs were made. In the fourth, fifth and sixth innings the Oils scored once in each and in the seventh while the bases were blocked Mott got hit by the ball, walked to first, sending the others up a peg, Burnett performing the promenade stunt home. This tied the score, but nothing more was doing. In the ninth, the Hamburgers sent another man in, while the Oils were retired.

NOTES Some costly errors on the part of the Oil boys had disastrous effects, but the same can safely be laid to a dose of "overconfidence." But that comes to the best of them, and an off-day will inevitably crop out. The Hamburgers put up the best ball article handed the locals for some moons and all were in the game all the time. Hartman was "it" for the visitors. Joe Burke umpired in his usual impartial way and gave general satisfaction. Joe has a knack of quieting a kicker that is beautiful, for all of which he is universally admired.
