A SAD TALE OF BUTCHERY
Mrs. Richard Heiman’s Body Cut in Two by Electric Car — Authorities Refuse Permission for Removing Body
Mrs. Gustav Heiman of Los Angeles spent Saturday with friends in town and brought first details of the atrocious butchery of her sister, Mrs. Richard Heiman, by an electric car at Manhattan Beach, near Redondo. The accident occurred on the evening of Monday, Sept. 9, at 7:15 o'clock. The unfortunate woman had gone with her husband to visit with their daughter, who was spending the summer at the beach. She set about to return to her home in the city, and an instant before the tragedy started to walk down the front stairway to the street. It was quite dark, and the electric arc which usually illuminated the corner had burned out. As Mrs. Heiman stepped upon the street the car was upon her. The outer rail was within a few inches of the lower step. She raised her hand as if in warning to the motorman. No whistle was sounded, and the rapidly speeding car struck her at the waist, literally cutting the body in two. The skull was crushed and the neck broken.
The body was after some delay carried to the home of a neighbor, but the railway authorities refused to permit the removal of the body until the coroner had held an inquest.
The remains of Mrs. Heimann were not permitted to be taken to her home until Wednesday evening at 8:30, two days after the unfortunate occurrence.

The remains of Mrs. Heimann were not permitted to be taken to her home until Wednesday evening at 8:30, two days after the unfortunate occurrence.
The funeral occurred on Thursday, the sons of deceased being pallbearers. The remains were cremated.
Mr. Heimann was immeasurably depressed at the wanton refusal of authorities to permit the removal of his wife's body to his home until 48 hours after the horrible accident. He has been advised to sue the railway company for heavy damages.
The deceased had some days before been one of a family group to be photographed, of whom there were thirteen. A day or two later, while visiting at a neighbor's, a friend, telling fortunes with cards, announced there would be an early death in the family.
Mrs. Heimann had recently returned with her husband from Europe, whither they had gone on a tour of the continent.
Her death occurred on the nineteenth anniversary of the birth of her youngest son.
Raiding Eyeless Porkers.
District Attorney Davis and a posse of officers swooped down upon two blind pigs at Huntington Beach late Saturday night and made a great haul. He was assisted by Deputy District Attorney Rulan and Constables C. E. Jackson and James Murray, and S. A. Clark of this city; City Marshal Ruddock of Fullerton; City Marshal Sam Jernagin and C. Bates of Orange, and Constable Vincent and Deputy Winslow, of Huntington Beach.
The places raided were the cigar stand owned by Dick Button, Charles A. Gee and M. C. Miranda, and cigar stand and billiard hall of Joe Lewis, both on Main street and opposite each other.
Proprietors Gee and Button were arrested, and armed with a search warrant, the officers went through their places. In a cupboard in the card room was found two or three glases and as many bottles of liquor, while at a store-house at the waist, literally cutting the body in two. The skull was crushed and the neck broken.

The places raided were the cigar stand owned by Dick Button, Charles A. Gee and M. C. Miranda, and cigar stand and billiard hall of Joe Lewis, both on Main street and opposite each other.
Proprietors Gee and Button were arrested, and armed with a search warrant, the officers went through their places. In a cupboard in the card room was found two or three glsases and as many bottles of liquor, while at a store-house at the rear of the residence of Fred Brown, two barrels of bottled beer, twenty-six bottles of beer in an ice chest, and two two-gallon demijohns of whiskey were found. Miranda could not be located and his arrest will follow later.
Lewis was found at the home of a friend. Wet goods in his store were limited but in the storehouse were found one barrel of bottled beer, thirteen bottles in another and six in a bucket of ice water and one bottle of whisky. Lewis was placed under arrest. The goods from both places were confiscated.
Charles French, in charge of the Bolsa livery stable, was arrested on a warrant charging him with the illicit sale of liquors. The name of the complaining witness is not made public. Each of the arrested men gave bail bond of $100 for his appearance before Justice Shirley on Monday.
Three of the men pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor and paid $150 fine each. Justice of the Peace J. W. Shirley also gave them suspended sentences of sixty days each. The three men to plead guilty are Charles Gee, Joe Lewis and Charles French. Gee's partners, Dick Button and M. C. Miranda, have decided to fight the case. They come up for pleading today.

FORD
It's significant that while other cars go a'begging for buyers—cut prices divide commissions and trade in old cars, horses or any old thing to make a sale—the demand for Ford Runabouts increases by leaps and bounds.
Henry Ford has always erred on the side of low prices
Ford cars have always been worth more than the maker asked for them.
That's only one of many respects in which Fords differ from other makes—while others deteriorate Fords increase in value.

Other team scores were excellent former Palma competition were far behind. Although there was no margin between the first and last of the contestants; it is significant the progress of rifle shooting in recent years that the score of every one of the competing teams was higher than the score made by the winning team in any previous Palma contest.

"The Grand Old Man."
The Rev. Edward Lloyd Jones of Manchester, England, is credited with originating the phrase "the and Old Man" as applied to Mr. Gladstone. During the Irish agitation became necessary that detectives would follow Mr. Gladstone for the pose of protection, and as the Liberator lived in Hawarden, in Bristolshire, that county, then governed quarter sessions, was asked to pay bill. The magistrates, nearly all men in those days, objected, wherein Lloyd Jones, who was than a minster at Rhyl, promptly called an indignation meeting. He asked a lawyer he was present to state whether, if life of a common tramp was in it, it was not the duty of the county protect him. The lawyer said that doubtfully it was. "Then," shouted Jones, "if it is the duty of this duty to protect the beggar at our homes, are we going to allow the pre-requisite life of that grand old man at Haden to go unprotected?" That being settled the quarter sessions' objections, and the title stuck.

The Department issued hurry up orders for a new cylinder head. The Alabama will proceed to the Brooklyn navy yard as soon as the casting is ready and the substitution will be rushed as rapidly as possible.

GROWERS DO NOT FEAR WHITE FLY.
Parasite for the Pest That Works Successfully In Florida.
A conversation took place on one of the California trains the other day which, according to an article in the Visalia Times, will be of the greatest interest to the orange men of California in general and Tulare county growers in particular. It was between James H. Morton, the well-known fruit man of Tulare, and a gentleman who has been in the fruit business in Florida for many years. Mr. Morton was on his way to Lake Tahoe at the time, and on the train struck up a conversation with C. W. Springstead, of St. Petersburg, Florida, who was on a pleasure trip through California at the time. As both men are in the fruit business it was not long before their conversation drifted around to this subject. As soon as Mr. Morton found that he was talking with a Florida fruit man, who makes a specialty of oranges, he became interested at once, remembering the white fly scare which has kept California orange men somewhat disturbed for the past few weeks. So he inquired about this pest, and to what extent it hampered the orange industry in Florida.
"The white fly is in Florida," said Mr. Springstead, "but it is not on my place. Five years ago it was fourteen miles away, and this year five."
"What do you do to keep down the white fly?" was asked.
Well, we have a red and brown fungus in Florida, which we use to

Accident to Battleship.
Washington, Sept. 17.—The Navy
ment today received word of an
intent to the battleship Alabama,
which will result in delaying the dee of the Atlantic fleet on its trip
to the Horn to the Pacific.
Alabama has developed a bad
what disturbed for the past few weeks.
So he inquired about this pest, and to
what extent it hampered the orange
industry in Florida.
"The white fly is in Florida," said
Mr. Springstead, "but it is not on my
place. Five years ago it was fourteen
miles away, and this year five."
"What do you do to keep down the
white fly?" was asked.
"Well, we have a red and brown
fungus in Florida, which we use to
counteract the fly. One time my brother said to me, 'If you get the white fly
let me know and I’ll bring up some of
that fungus and put it in your orchard.'
My brother, two years ago, had a crop
of 50,000 boxes of oranges, and he had
to wash them all, except 500 boxes, because his orchard was infested with the
white fly. He then placed the fungus
on his orchard with the result that this
year he had a crop of 70,000 boxes, and
only washed 500."
This is about the first authentic
news about practical orange growing
in a State badly infested with white
fly that has been published in the
State, and it is very reassuring. For it
shows not only that the white fly does
not seriously cripple the output of an
orange orchard, but also that there is a
parasite for it, which is all the California fruit man wants to know. Just let
him know that there is a parasite for
an insect pest and the latter at once ceases to cause much worry.
