A BULLET BELOW THE HEART
W. A. Majors, a Pullman Porter,
Mortally Wounded
RESULT OF SHOOTING CRAPS
A Scene of Bloodshed in the Arcad e
Depot Waiting Room
After Flooring; Hl3 Antagonist, the Shooter
Walks to the Police Station
and Surrenders
There was considerable excitement in
colored circles last evening:, occasioned by
'a shooting scrape between a couple of ne
groes in the waiting room of tlie Arcade
Depot, at the foot of Fifth strict. W. A.
Majors, a Pullman porter, was mortally
wounded by E. C. Bryant, a colored ex
pressman, and after tiring the shot the
latter walked two miles to the police sta
tion and surrendered. Wheu Bryant
walked oooliy into the station and told
Clerk Oridley that he had wounded a
negro, but he did not know how badly,
tho police officers standing around were
not ut all surprised, for the tragedy had
been expected all clay.
Early in the Dooming Bryant visited
the police station and i>" ■ ■ •! for protec
tion. He state 1 that We Ines lay evening
he had his rabbit's foot with bin an.:
was unusually lucky at shooting craps,
the favorite game of chain I among
darkies. "I didn't get nothing hut a nat
ural every time," lie told one oi the pD
liceme.i confidentially, "and a* a read ; I
skinned Majors out of He took his
los-. very much to heart at tirst and tried
to get me to give hi in back his money,
but 1 wasn't no fool and I hang On to it.
At last he became Ugly And said that he
would kill me or lie would get his stuff
back. Early this morning I was told that
I had better look out for Mijors, and as I
know he is a dead bard loan, I am afraid
of my life and 1 want the police to pro
tect me."
The idea of providing l!rvun! with a
body guard did not suggest its-It to
"Judge" Bean, the clerk, but he called up
Special Otlicer Mule, who is stationed at
the Arcade Depot by the Southern Pacific
Company, ami told him that ltryant, who
stands witli his express wagon near the
depot, was afraid of being murdered by
Majors, and lie asked him to prevent
bloodshed if he could. Rule replied that
he would attend to the case, and he cer
tainly did all in his power to prevent
trouble, but it had to come, and he was
powerless to stop it.
The best story of the shooting is given
by E. Steinnian, who has a package stor
ing office in the depot, and these are the
facts as he related them to the police re
porter of The Herald last evening shortly
after the shooting:
"About half past six this evening I was
in my office attending to the details of
my business when I heard a quarrel in
progress, at the other end of the depot on
the same side as my place. I opened the
door and walked out, and first saw a cou
ple of negroes standing in front of the
lunch counter. One of them, whom I
afterwards learned was Bryant, was per
fectly cool and collected, but th* other
fellow, Majors, was in a terrible rage, and
although Bryant, appeared to expostulate
with him, he would not becalmed. Fin
ally Bryant said, 'If you do not keepaway
you will get yourself into trouble.' Ma
jors then rushed at Bryant and got hold
of him, but Ed Lowton, who tends bar for
Tom Dormody, got hold of'tlio aggressive
colored man and led him off, fearing that
If they were not pulled apart one of them
would be killed.
"Officer Rulo came up at this moment
and took Majors outside and cautioned
him to keep out of the depot and leave
Bryant, who was not bothering him,
alone. Majors then pulled a $3) bill out
of his pocket and offered it to the officer
to permit him to return and do up his
colored pal. The offer, of cour-e, was re
fused. Four different times the trouble
hunting fellow returned, and each time I
headed him off, and would not allow bin
to come in.
"Finally Majors slipped in the back
door of the depot anil rushed over in the
direction of where Bryant was standing,
In front of the ticket window. Officer
Rulo got hold of the fellow and tried to
drag him away. Bryant turned to walk
off, when suddenly Majors grabbed a
heavy stool and swung it over his head iv
an attempt to strike Bryant with it. Rulo
succeeded in getting it away from him,
and again the officer endeavored by the
use of all the strength at his command to
lead Majors away from the scene of con
flict.
Quick as a flash Majors grabbed another
chair, and, with Rulo still holding him,
rushed at Bryant. The latter, no doubt,
thought he had stood enough, and he
pulled his pistol and lired. The depot
was well filled with passengers, including
men, women and children. They scat
tered in all directions and Majors fell to
the floor, while Bryant, went out the front
door, on his way to the station to sur
render.
Majors was assisted to his feet by sev
eral bystanders, and he at once began
hunting for Bryant to do him up. When
he found he had gone, he walked unat
tended to a neighboring drug store and
asked that his wound be dressed. He did
not wait to be attended though, leaving
in a few moments for his room, close by
on Ceres avenue. The patrol wagon was
telephoned for. and the wounded man
wastakedto the Receiving Hospital upon
a stretcher.
During the tussle with Majors Officer
Rulo, who was for many years upon the
regular force, and -who is well along in
years, strained his left arm and had to
repair to the drug store close by to have
it attended to. To the Herald reporter
he substantiated Bteininan'a narrative
and said in addition that, be did all he
could to prevent the shooting. "The fact
of the matter is," said Rulo, "the darkey
was hunting trouble all day and he only
got what he wanted and what he de
served, t know nothing about what the
issue was between Majors and Bryant,
but 1 do say that the latter could not
help doing what be did.' 1
At the hospital Dr. Bryant made a
superficial examination of Majors' wound
and said that he could not till how seri
ously he was hurt until he probed for the
ball. He preferred to wait to do (hat un
til the patient recovered, to some extent
at least, from the effects of the shock. He
said, though, that he would not be sur
prised if the wound was fatal.
Bryant was locked up and he talked
quite freely. He said that he was sorry
that the shooting occurred, but that he
firmly believed that his life was in danger,
and that he fired as a matter of self pro
tection. He knew that Majors was a bad
man, and he took all the chances he
cared to. He was hounded all day by
him, and when he shot he thought it was
necessary.
GROUND TO PIECES BY WHEELS
A Tramp Throws Himself Under ■ Moving
Train
Yesterday morning at 7:30 o'clock an
unknown tramp suicided at Wilmington,
by throwing himself under a moving
train, and his death was instantaneous.
The engineer's story is as follows:
When a little way from Wilmington two
men were seen walking along in the same
direction as the train was going, on the
track. One of them wore a fez cap and
looked like a Turk. The whistle was
tooted to notify the men to get off the
track. The two men stopped and talked
energetically, the Turk making violent
gesticulations. The latter got off the
track and in a few seconds the deceased
diil likewise. One was on one side of the
track and the Other opposite him.
Just as the engine was within a few
feet of the deceased he turned suddenly
and dived headlong in front of the loco
motive with a horrible cry.
When the Turk was Interrogated he was
too dumfounded to say much. He said
that he had been at the Midwinter Fair
and was trying to find something to do
in this section of the country. He did
not know the deceased, and was only
a fellow tramper with him a few short
hours.
Coroner Campbell was notified, and he
went to Wilmington on an early morning
train.
An inquest was he'd and the jury re
turned a verdict in accordance with the
facts.
PRESIDENT NEWTON TALKS
He Tells About Major Barrett's Schemes
at Sacramento
The (icntlcman Will Not Say Whether the
Ex-Superir.tendentof the electric Road
Favored or Opposed the Hill
The story published in yesterday's
Herald concerning the passage of Speaker
Lynch's bill, whereby Agricultural Park,
in this city,and on the other agricultural
association grounds in the state, may re
vert to the original stockholders, created
considerable of a stir iv sporting und
real estate circles.
A meeting of the directors of the Sixth
District Agricultural Association was
belli yesterday, at 107 North Main street,
at which J. C. Newton presided. Prior
to the meeting the story us published was
discussed, but very little was said, for the
reason that B, V. Wright and Lewis
Thome , secretary of the association, who
admitted having bought, up considerab.a
stock during tbe last few mouths, pr p 
suniably in anticipation of the passage of
Speaker Lynch's bill were present, and
those members of the board who are op
posed to their methods preferred not to
discuss tlie matter with them at this
time.
Captain .1. C. Newton, president of the
State Association, and who has taken
more interest in the prosperity of the
grounds in this city than any one else
connected with them, was seen after the
meeting adjourned, by the Herald man.
"1 have rem! the account in today's
Herald," said he, "aud the story is sub
stantially correct, save in one place, where
lam wrongly quoted. This matter is of
great Importance to the people of this
part of the state, and f tun satisfied in
my own mind that jobbery has been re
sorted to, and at the proper time the
whole matter will be exposed and the
gttiltv parties held up for public censure.
I "The feasibility of offering Lynch's bill,
continued Captain Newton, ''originated
with Mr. Wright, I am quite sure, and
- when he bought up all the stock from the
several stockholders, with whom he was
associated, 1 am convinced he knew that
the law would be so changed at this ses
sion of the Legislature that the park prop
erty would revert to the stockholders. The
stock so purchased by Wright and Thome
cost them about |100 a share, and if the
park is today worth £>40,U0n, us is
claimed, the £90 shares would be worth
nearly f9OOO a share. Had these stock
holders who sold known that the Lynch
bill "was going to be introduced, they
would not have parted with their stock
for so low a price."
When asked what Captain A. W. Bar
rett, the well-known politician had been
doing at Sacramento, Captain Newton
replied that he could not tell.
"All I know," said he, "is that I re
ceived a letter from Barrett some time
ago to reply by telegraph what 1 thought
of Assembly Bill 4411, which had then
passed in the Assembly and was on its
third reading in the Senate. I at once
went to Sacramento, and when I got there
I found that Barrett was out of town.
The proprietor of the hotel where he
was stopping said that Barrett had gone
to San Francisco iv the interest of his
'scheme,' the application of which term
I thught in itselt a little peculiar.
"Did Barrett oppose the bill in the
Senate," queried the reporter, "as it is
said he did by Mr. Thome?"
"I cannot tell about that,' said Captain
Newton, "but I do know that he tele
graphed to Nick Covarrubias the very
night of the occurrence that Governor
Budd bad .signed the bill and that it was
then a law. Before the newspapers
could print the news Nick Covarrubias
had the facts and whether by Barrett's in
sruct ions or not 1 cannot say, lie at once
set about securing some stock. All the
stockholders save those, on the inside,
were in ignorance of the impending
change and hence were not prepared to re
tain their stock as they would have done
If they had known that in a single day
it, had multiplied in value. Whether
Covarrubias got hold of any stock or not
I can't say, out I know he endeavored
to secure some in any event."
Mr. Dillon of the 'firm of Dillon <fc
Kuealiy, contractors, was surprised yester
day when he read of the passage of the
Lynch bill, and remembered thai he had
sold his stock to his friend Wright. To
another stockholder who is exactly in the
same boat, he stated yesterday ''that he
had been done up."
"It. is a strange thing," said C. F. A.
Last yesterday to a Herald reporter, "that
Wright secured my stock last January
and the book shown to The Herald mail
dirl not show the entry."
'Is it possible," asked the reporter,
"that the transfer of stock recently has
not been kept entered for the reason that
Secretary Thome expected that his mo
tives iv securing shares of stcok would be
called in pneatlon later on and that he
had the book as a 'bluff,' to show to the
reporters?"
"I can't say," said Mr. Last, "but if
tbe transfer of my shares of stock does
not appear upon it it is not straight."
Many persons who have recently sold
their stock are on the warpath, anil it is
hinted that the directors of the State Vs
sociation will not let go their hold until
they have taken the case to the courts
A well-knonw local attorney has already
been retained in the matter.

LOS AINIxEIiES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNIXG, FEBRUARY 22, 1895.
REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING
Men Who Sell the Earth and
How They Sell It
POWER OF PRINTERS' INK
Developments in Various Parts of the
City and Country
Public Improvements a Potent Factor In
Raising Property Values—Some
Recent Sales.
While the current week has witnessed
no phenomenal movement in real estate,
it will nevertheless go on record as hav
ing borne fairly satisfactory results to the
men who sell the earth. Activity has
principally been confined to city property,
although several good sales of country
realty are reported.
Pasadena and" Pomona are the towns
that figure most prominently in the subur
ban real estate transfers, San Pedro,
Santa Monica, Long Heach and Monrovia
also report some sales, while qviite a nice
movement seems to have developed at
Aztisa. A good many men of wealth and
enterprise own property at the latter
place, and the little foothill town prom
ises to become one of the most prosper
ous places in the San Gabriel valley.
Property along the new electric line to
Pasadena is picking up. Garvanza and
Highland Park arc enjoying quite a nice
little boom in consequence of the im
proved transportation facilities. Pasadena
itself is feeling tbe benefit of electric
car service for the first time. The old
Pair Oaks avenue horse-car line has been
electricized and enrs began making reg
ular half-hourly trips from Columbia
street north, Wednesday morning. The
terminus of the line at present is Wash
ington Heights, but connection will soon
be made with the Mt. Lowe electric road
at Altadena. Then when the gap is filled
between Qarvansa and South Pasadena, a
continuous electric route will be in opera
tion between Los Angeles and Rublo
Canyon. Property along the electric line,
all the way from Lis Angeles to the
mountains is already feeling the stimulus
consequent Upon improved transportation
facilities.
Boyle Heights.
Another section that is likely at an
early date to feel the effect of electric lo
comotion is Boylfl Heights and tlie beau
tiful stretch of country beyond, as far as
Whittier. Ex-Mayor Workman, who has
done so much for the upbuilding of the
section of the city east of the river, Ifl at
work on a scheme by which it is proposed
to construct an electric road out Fourth
street, by the SistuVs orphan asylum and
Hollenbeck Park and thence to the town
of Whittier. It ; s understood that the
property-holders at Whittier offer a bonus
of 150,000 to the company building the
road and that the Baker ranch will add
,$:!0,000 to this subscript ion. It is claimed
that there is no don hi as to the ultimate
construction of this electric line.
Another Influen *c that is tending to
improve the demand for property on
Boyle Heights is the prospect ot the
early extension of the sewer system.
Work will soon be commenced for sewer
ing a large district on Boyle Height.., in
cludingjthe principal residence and busi
ness section that is not already provided
with proper drainage.
Property hoi lets on Boyle Heights are
also nailing witli delight the Improve*
ments begun by H. .1. woollacott on First
street, just east of the river. Mr. Woolla
cott is here subdividing tho old bastb.ill
grounds—nine acres of good level land,
lying on either side of First street, be
tween the river and Boyle Heights hill.
This long stretch of unimproved land has
long heen an eyesore to people traveling
back an forth between Boyle Heights and
the city proper. It has made Boyle
Heights appear to be a separate and dis
tinct town, instead of part of the City of
the Angels. Mr. Woollacott will now till
tiie gap by cutting the acreage up into
building lots, making street Improve*
ments, etc.i and selling the lots at auc
tion, thus making it pretty sure that they
will be built upon. Along each side of
First street, from the bridge to the foot of
the hill, there be a stretch of 600 feet of
cement sidewalk, which will make Boyle
Heights more accessible to pedestrians
than at present.
With all these improvements in contem
plation, it may be confidently expected
that Boyle Heights will experience such a
boom within the next six months or a
year as it has not felt since it lirst came
into prominence as a delightful residence
quarter.
('. M. Wells, ex-president of the Cham
ber of Commerce, is one of the latest ae
quisltions to the Boyle Heights colony of
prominent citizens. Mr. Wells recently
bought the Smith place, at the corner of
Mott and Fourth streets, containing live
acres, has moved there with his family
and is making some substantial improve
ments.
Real Estate Agents
The impression is sometimes created
that the real estate business in hos Ange
les is very dull because there are so many
real estate agents who seem to be doing
practically nothing. It is ajj fact, that
many agents scarcely manage to eke out a
living on the commissions they derive
from sales, but if a careful study*is made
of the subject it will be seen that these
agents lack the means or enterprise to
place their business properly before the
public. A man cannot bury'himself in a
stuffy little office and expect to do aland
ottice business simply because he happens
to have a great deal of salable property
listed on his books. The property he may
have for sale may be ever so cheap and
desirable for investment, but he can
not sell it without doing something
to attract customers. He must ad
vertise in some form in other
to let people know what he has to offer.
Tbe most successful men in the real es
tate business in Los Angeles today are
tho heaviest advertisers. Of course, the
man who advertises must have something
meritorious to offer. A fake is sometimes
successfully advertised, but not always.
The men who run fake propositions may
succeed for a little while, but they must
in the end give way to legitimate trades
men. Fortunately very little faking is at
tempted in these days in Jx>s Angeles.
Real estate values have berome so settled,
and buyers are so cautions that it is diffi
cult to make a success of anything but a
straight business proposition.
It does not require an especially astute
individual to observe that the biggest : .ac
cesses in the real estate trade are scored by
the men who get hold of desirable tracts,
subdivide, make substantial improve
ments and then advertise heavily, Half
a dozen or more firms could be mentioned
that have achieved splendid successes by
this method. It is needless to specify,
you all know theni.
Notable Successes
' A notable instance of what may be ac
complished by judicious use of printers'
ink is found in the case of the subdivision
and sale ot tbe Briswalter, Central avenue
and Adams street tracts. The enterpris
ing gentlemen wdio are handling these
properties have spent over $!X)00 in adver
tising them and, perhaps, as much more
in making improvements. The result is
that out of IMS lots in the Briswalter tract,
which was opened to sale on the loth of
January, 1894, seven remain unsold. Of
the sixty-two lots in the Central avenue
tract, which was put on the market last
Monday, ten remain unsold. The first
two weeks of this period was rainy
weather, so, practically, the tract has been
nearly closed out in less than three weeks.
About one-half of the 27!» lots in the
Adams street tract, which Was opened last
June, have been sold.
The foregoing sales represent only a
part of the business of this firm. They
have in the meantime sold a great deal of
acreage and miscellaneous city property,
and they attribute all their success to ju
dicious "advertising and correct business
principles.
Another instance of notable success,
due to the same causes outlined above, is
found in the sale of the South Bonnie
Brae, the Harper and the Clark & Bryan
tracts. A number of others could be
enumerated and dilated upon, but space
forbids.
Where Dirt Moves
No section of this city has shown a
more rapid develppment in the past six
months than the district east of Main
and south of Pico. Grider & Dow have
built up quite a little city in the Briswal
ter and Adams street tracts. The plain
along the Maple avenue and Central av
enue electric car lines is dotted with new
cottages, most of them of a neat and cosy
type, interspersed here and there with
imposing mansions.
John Gray, a wealthy contractor re
cently arrived from the East, is erecting a
handsome residence, to cost $8500 to $4000,
at the corner of Adams street and Paloma
avenue.
The double-tracking of the Central av
enue electric line and the substitution of
new double-trucked cars instead of the old
rattle-traps so long in use on that line is
enhancing the value of property in that
direction.
A better car service on the Maple avenue
line is helping that section.
The proposed electricising of the Main
and Jefferson street car line will stimulate
properly values along those thoroughfares.
Clark & Bryson report several sales in
their new Flgueroa street tract. It is al
together probable that a dozen or more
gooil families will be located on this tract
ere long.
Quite a healthy movement has set in
along Vermont avenue in the Southwest.
If the proposed boulevard system is car
ried out, Vermont avenue will become a
popular residence street.
Building goes on at a tremendous pace
in the South Bonnie Hrae tract and the
district between Eleventh and Pico and
Union and Alvarado. Several tine resi
dences are in course of construction on
Alvarado Heights.
The Northwest Improvement Associa
tion keeps hammering away and is clear
ing the decks for an era of great develop
ment. In fact scarcely a section of the
city can be named that is not showing
very decided signs of improvement.
Acreage Property
The demand for acreage is not so good
as might be expected in view of the pros
perous season ahead for ranchers and
orchardists. There is some inquiry for
orange land, but owners of orchards do
not desire to sell and the price of raw
land in the orange belt is kept up so as
discourage would-be investors. Some
good sales, however, are reported,
n Sunny Slope acreage is going off rapidly
in chunks ot live to twenty acres.
There is an occasional sale at Gardena,
ami that prosperous settlement never
looked better,
No section of the country shows greater
development than the Alamltos bay re
gion. The five and ten-acre tracts planted
to lemons and other fruits last year pre
sent a most beautiful appearance. A great
many comfortable homes dot the land
scape. The excellent water supply and
absence of frost are making Alamitos a
great winter vegetable growing district.
St* aw berries and guavas are being planted
extensively.
Some Recent Sales
Wood it Church's Pasadena office report
the following sales:
Ten acres at Altadena, mostly planted to
apricots, for !p4.">00.
One hundred and five acres, known as
