FOREST FIRE WITHIN 30 MILES
OF LOS ANGELES CAUSES HAVOC
Six Lives Lost and Property Wortn Hundreds of Thousands Destroyed Anti-Socialist Fint Waxes Hot as Close
Kears Old Stake, Set in 1886, Settles 'Boundary Dispute.
LOS ANGELES. Dec S. A forest fire
In Southern California, where tha
hills are for the most part bare
and the valleys largely barren, sounds
like an anomaly, to. put It mildly, but
during the past week and a half, within
10 miles of Los Angeles, a forest Ore
haa raged, defying the efforts of hun
dreds of fire fighters, destroying prop
erty valued at hundreds of thousands of
dollars, and costing the Uvea of six
persona, according to the figures avail.
able at the present writing.
The fire started In the Mallbu Moun
tain range, where, contrary to popular
opinion, the hills are well covered with
trees and the vales filled with heavy
underbrnsh. In connection with this
fire, the wardens have come through
with an interesting theory which ac
counts, to their minds, at least, for a
large number of the forest Urea of the
West. It Is none less than the sun's
rays beating down upon empty, dis
carded flasks and setting fire to the dry
grass and brush as If by a magnifying
glass: In other words, the former con
talners of firewater have atarted the
Mazes that, fanned by the breesea. have
swept the many acres from the middle
western prairies to the Pacific Coast.
Doubtless this theory has grown from
the arrest and conviction of a San
THego County rancher who. for spit'
et Are to a forest and field in that
county when he was many miles away
and could prove it. Unfortunately, for
Mm. the flames got away from the
point of origin tefore they had time to
destroy his Implements, and the sun
glsn and part of the tinder he so care
fully placed and which did their work
with precision were found and caused
h.s conviction. He Is now serving a
sentence In San Quentln.
FJeek tu llmrtltt.
Arguing from the facta developed In
the trial of that rase the warden claim
to hava discovered that tha convex
Ides of an empty whisky flask consti
tute an excellent magnifying glass, con
centrating the rays of the sun until the
heat generated Is sufficient to set fire
to the tinder beneath. That Is all that
is needed, for the winds do the rest.
Hoa-ever, It absolves many hunters and
campers of the charges of carelessly
leaving their campflres smouldering, or
of throwing away lighted matches
without a thought of possible results.
The MaUbn range fire, which Is still
threatening numerous settlers and
small towns, developed also some so
ctety heroes and heroines. Tha ranch
on which the ttre is raging Is owned
by the Rlndge estate, the affairs of
which were recently wound up
In the Probate Court ten years
after Frederick H. Rlndge died.
Mrs. Msy K. Rlndge. the widow and
administratrix of the vast estate, who
was so highly complimented by tha
court for her administration of the
properties valued at about five millions,
her sons and their wives both boys
were married within the past six
months formed one rescue party and
went throughout the entire ranch
warning squatters and neighboring
ranchers of tha danger. The women
and young men made the trip through
the ranch on a handcar, taking turns In
pumping the handles over the uneven
track. At certain points in the estate
where valleys ran up into the moun-1
tains to the ranch of some settlers the
brides and grooms mounted horses,
without saddles or bridles, and rode
recklessly Into the hills to sound the
warning. On several such occasions
their rides were literally races with
death, as they were caught by the
flames and had to dash through walla
of Ore to effect their own escapes.
Aatt-Seetallat Fight Hot.
The bitter warfare against the So
rlalists under Job Harrlman here, and
tha strength of the Socialists, the re
sult of which will be known at the
election day after tomorrow, haa weld
ed the opposing factions of the various
parties opposed to Socialism as nothing
else could have done. It haa also ere
ated a campaign the like of which
Southern California has never before
known and which haa led both aides
Into excesses that nothing but des
perate righting would cause. Several
thousand Illegal registrations have
been discovered and It la believed the
extent of the fraud will not be known
until election day. Some estimates put
the fraudulent registrations aa high as
thirty thousand and the City Attorney
promises that every man or woman
now who tries to vote Illegally will be
arrested and prosecuted. Several bun
dred warrants have already been Is
sued, one conviction haa resulted and
thousands of cases will be on the books
of the courts after election. The en
tire police force and a large number of
deputlea sworn In for the occasion win
be on duty next Tuesday to nab any
one who attempts to vote fraudulently,
and according to the City Attorney
there will be many arrests on that day.
The Oood Government organisation la
accused by the Socialists of having
caused many of the Illegal registra
tions, and vice versa. As a matter of
fact the frauds are about even, as
many on one side as on the other. Tha
Good Government organisation, how
ever, has lost prestige to an Immeas
urable extent during the campaign. In
the first place, when It was found tfiat
the battle waa to be between Mayor
Alexander and Job Harrlman tha busi
ness men of the city organised to man
age Alexander'a campaign. Taking his
rue from the Good Government men, Al
exander attempted to repudiate the
cltlxens' committee, but it would not
be repudiated. ' The Goo-Goo organs be
littled the popular movement
and grilled the former enemies
of Alexander who now flocked to
his support. But tbey were
called off when It was aeen that Alex
ander did not hava everything his own
way and the fight would be much closer
than had beon anticipated.' Tha sur
prising feature of the campaign, so far,
has been the tremendous Interest on
tn part of the public In the Socialist
doctrine: and the suspicion of many has
been aroused by tha remarkable getting
together of men who formerly were tha
bitterest enemies. The anxiety on the
part of both sides will not be nded
until tha votes cast December S ars
counted.
Old Stake Settles) Dlaawte.
A stake driven Into the earth In 1S6I
and covered for years by the accumula
tion of aand and debrla haa Just ben
unearthed at Long Beach and' settled a
dispute over the boundary Between
Rabchos Los Cerrltos ana itancnos ios
Alamltoa. The atake was put down by
the original surveyor of the beach prop
erties, now covered by a prosperous
city. It waa discovered by employee of
the City Engineer's offloe at the foot of
Alamltoa avenue, and basldea settling ,
the dispute between the two former
ranch properties, will effectually dis
pose of trouble over the exact eastern
boundary of the City of Long Beach. In
the presence of Mayor Windham of
Long Beach and other city officials the
stake was dug from ten feet below the
surface of the ground and replaced by
a concrete stake that will last for all
time. The wooden stake, by the way,
despite Its years In the wet beach soil.
was In a remarkable state of preserva
tion. The discovery of the stake waa
hailed with rejoicing In the City At
torney's office, where several suits are
pending, the outcome of which depend
upon the exact position of the hitherto
lost stake.
"Calf Leye Leads ta Death.
"She loves me."
"She loves me not."
Over and over again little Wllmot
Haase repeated these lines at the
Strickland Home for Boys, on Eagle
Rock avenue, shortly after breakfast
tha other day. For each line he pulled
petal from a large red rose.
Did Irene Bennett, aged 17 years,
love him? That was the question the
rose was asked. Petal after petal
dropped from his fingers. The supreme
test waa near at hand.
A few minutes before the 14-year-old
boy had told some of his play
mates, who also happened to be among
his rivals, that If the rose test failed
he would kill hlmeelf. His hand trem
bled when the rose had been shorn of
all but a doxen petals. Finally the
last one waa reached, but he did not
pluck It. He already knew the answer.
"She loves me not."
Half murmuring these words, his
body trembling. Wllmot walked to the
medicine cupboard In the kitchen of
the house. A moment later a scream
waa heard and Claude Raymond, aged
15 years, an Inmate, rushed out of the
kitchen door, calling loudly for help,
declaring that Wllmot had taken car
bolic acid.
The shock of the dose aroused Wll
mot from a atate of despondency to a
state of terror. Mrs. J. Strickland, the
matron, snatched the first thing avail
able upon reaching the kitchen, which
happened to be a bottle of olive oil.
Wllmot drank the entire contents. The
matron then gave him raw eggs, but
even had other remedies been given It
would have been useless, as the boy
had taken more than two ounces of
the acid.
Wllmot was hurried to the County
Hospital, where he died a few hours
later. He Is the son of W. F. Haase.
a structural Ironworker. The boy had
been at the StrlckOand Home more
than a year.
Irene Burnett, said to be the cause
of the tragedy, left the home, where
she had been helping Mrs. Strickland,
three weeks ago. The majority of the
tractive brunette. More than a dosen
of the boy, all of whom were under IS
years, and wear short trousers, wooed
her. Her choice was not Wllmot, al
beit he was her most persistent suitor.
One night, shortly before she left
the home, another boy took her to a
moving-picture show. This was more
than Wllmot could stand, and he had
been brooding over It ever since. The
girl confided to Mrs. Strickland that
she did not care for Wllmot. When
Irune'a affairs at heart became so
