McGee left-two letters, one nddrcsed
to the coroner—originally to the coro
ner at Stockton—and the other to his
Wife, As Los Angeles had been sub
stituted for Stockton in the letter to
the coroner, it is supposed McGee
planned to kill himself in Stockton
but changed his plans for some rea
son. He gave (Oiling health as the
principal reason for ending his life.
George Hutchinson, caretaker of the
cemetery, heard the shot fired and
rushed from his house adjoining the
cemetery. Ho found McGee lying on
the ground, the revolver with one
empty' cartridge In it, by his side. Ho
summoned Dr. C. T. Palmer, who lives

ers. The police ambulance made a
hurried trip to the cemetery and took
McGee to the receiving hospital. De
spite the efforts of the police surgeons,
he died a half-hour later. The bullet
entered the head back of the left cur
and passed out on the other side of
the head.
Hut chin son stated yesterday that he
recognized McGee as a man who was
r' the cemetery Wednesday" morning.

tion with him and McGee then told
him lie was a. member of the Odd Fol
lows lodge and that he had recently
come to Los Angeles from Stockton,

McGee's letter to the brethren of his
order follows:
To the Brethren and Lodges of Odd
Fellowship of Los Angeles, Cat:
In disposing of my affairs of this
■ world I have, so far as I know,
pursued a course strictly conscien
tious in every respect, and in re
sorting to the action of hurrying
my departure from here to the
beyond I ask not to be censured too
severely, for the reason, on ac
count of indisposition of both body
and mind, I feel that I can do no
more good here.
In every respect, so far as I
know, I am square with the world,
excepting that dear one called wife,
and for her I can do nothing more
than that which I am about to do,
and I pray from my heart that
hereafter blessings and protection
be placed upon her, the most de
serving little person on this earth.
Place my remains in any kind of
a rough, strong box, without either
paint or varnish, as my feelings are
very much opposed to the gaudy .
appearances being exercised today.
In closing these few lines to you
I will just say that I have always,
since being a member of Excelsior
lodge No. 5, Helena, Montana, I. O.
O, F., endeavored to live the life
as taught by our order and consti
tution, and in so doing, without
any fears and feelings of remorse
in meeting the -call of departure
from this earth, I am yours in F.,
L. and T., ANDY McGEE.
p. s.—Letter and card from Ex
celsior lodge, herein contained, will
identify to you my standing of ■
twenty-five years, to which I have
-the honor of wearing a veterans'
Jewel, which you will please retain
until further on. F., L. and T.,
A. McGEE.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR JTUNEUAI.
Instructions regarding the simple
funeral he wanted are contained in
the letter left for the coroner. It
follows:
Mr. Coroner: Be so kind as to
accept these few lines in explana
tion of the action of your humble
servant, Andy McGoe, as it appears
here to you. In confession of the
act I merely have this to say: My
time has come, and without any
fear of death I hereby respond by
simply remarking that I can battle
no further for honor and for
riches, as my health is foiling me
fast, but be it understood that my
goo^ and devoted little wife will
be much better off without mo
and eventually will live a much
happier life to the end.
Place my body under mother
e^rth in compliance to the forms
and customs of the I. O. O. Fellows,
as you will see that I am honored
by the presentation of a veteran's
Jewel from Excelsior lodge Nr> 5,
Helena, Mont. You will also plense
find a receipt and card from said
lodge establishing the standing- of
the deceased member, and I ask
of you to urge upon my brother
members to have my remains
placed away as readily as possible
in the confines of some Odd Fel
lows' cemetery in T^os Angeles.
So far as my most devoted and
deserving wife is concerned,, I do
nut wish to have her disturbed in

At a special meeting of the park
commission yesterday a petition waa
prepared to be presented to the of
ficial bodies which must act on the
bridge across the Arroyo ijeco at
Pasadena avenue, asking that a con
crete bridge be substituted for the
proposed earth fill.
A similar petition was adopted as a
resolution by the Garvanza improve
ment association, the North, North
east and Northwest Improvement as
sociation and the municipal art com
mission.
Salt Lake railroad officials are said
to be in favor of a concrete bridge and
willing to pay their share of the cost
if the other bodies will do their share.
Tho board of supervisors is willing that
the county shall stand its share of
a concrete bridge and the council will
do its part. South Pasadena is yet
to be heard from. The petition in
dorsed by the organizations yesterday
is as follows:
"We respectfully petition the city
council of Los Angeles and South
Pasadena, the board of supervisors of
Los Angeles county and the officials
of the Salt Lake railroad system, to
construct the best possible concrete
arch bridge across the Arroyo Seco,
on Pasadena avenue, at an estimated
cost of not to exceed one hundred and
fifty thousand ($150,000.00) dollars, for
bridge and approaches, on plans to be
preoured by the engineers representing
your respective bodies. This struc
ture to be submitted for the present
plans at the same location, the cost
of which Is estimated to be one hun

NO MORE JOY RIDES, SAYS
DINAH AFTER SHE'S JOLTED
Negress Makes 'Gemlen Fren'
Take Her Home in Car
"Ah was ridan foh de evenin' wid
Mistah Simpson, my gemlen frien, in his
hoss and buggy, win we hit a bump on
one oh dem bum roads and somehow
Ah lost ma balance and fell plum out,"
Dinah Briggs, a young negress who re
cently arrived from Louisiana, told the
police surgeons last night as they were
dressing her Injuries in the receiving
hospital.
Dinah hit the clay at Santa Pc ave
nue and LeGrande streets and received
a severe jolting and numerous bruises.
A rut in the road, she described in
many terms, was responsible for the
jolting, although at first the young
woman thought her back had been
broken. After repeated assurances
from the surgeons that she could walk
without fear of falling down, Dinah
made a courtesy in good old-fashioned
style that smacked of the plantation
days and bid the "massa doctors" good
night.
'Mistah Simpson," who had been
waiting patiently outside the hospital
for Dinah with his horse and buggy,
was somewhat disturbed when she
forced him to quarter his animal and
rig down town and escort her to her
home on a street car.
"No moll joy rides in dat rig," she
told the hospital surgeons.

Distressing Story of Mrs. Dolores

Money to Lift Assessment
The pathetic story of Mrs. Dolores
Vidal, who must lose her little home
at 626 Mission road to help pay for
the pleasure of rich automobile owners
unless someone comes to her rescue,
touched the hearts of other contrib
utors yesterday. Two sent in checks
for $5 each to swell the fund that
grows all too slowly.
The contributors asked that the sub
scription list say only from "two
friends," and they are indeed friends
in need. , ,
The letter accompanying the checks
may point out to someone else where
his duty lies, and it is here repro
duced:
"Firmly believing that someone
should come to the relief of Mrs.
Dolores Vldal to help her save her
humble home, and knowing that some
one means all of us when sympathies
are aroused for the unfortunate wom
an you should find enclosed in this
letter two checks for five dollars each,
to be added to the contribution for
Mrs. Vidal."
COZY MISSION ROAD HOME
Mrs Vidal's little home on Mission
road is one of the humblest that could
be found in the vicinity. It is barely
large enough to cover her and her
family. She did not want a fine boule
vard in front of her house, She
bought her little home because prop
erty was cheap and it did not appear
that improvement assessments would
ever bother her much. "•-
But some' rich people who own au
tomobiles discovered that Mission road
if it were cut through and widened
and improved, would make a nice
direct route to Pasadena, and they
started proceedings to have it opened
and widened and improved. It didn t
cost them anything. The cost fell on

LONG BEACH MAN
FOUND MURDERED
Body of J. S. Ranous, Missing a
Month, Recovered Near
His Home
SON-IN-LAW IS ARRESTED
Relative and Mexican Employed
by Slain Man Held by
the Police
LONG BEACH, Oct. 27.—The deoom-
I body of J. S. Ranous, the old
man for whom the police, sheriff's of
fice and others had been searching
since October 2, and who had ben
missing since September 21, was found
this afternoon, about 2:3U o'clock, by
M. Yuklyasu and other Japai
buried beneath a bU manure heap
near Ranous' house.
Samuel Apodaco, a Mexican, who
was employed to haul manure to tho
Ranous place, is in jail and his bi en
for several weeks, the police suspect
ing him of the murder.
D. S. Devoe, 1250 Jesse street, this
city, son-in-law of Ranous, walked
Into police headquarters this afternoon,
having just heard of the recoven of
the body, and Sergeant Gallemore
placed him under arrest and locked him
up.
Ranus' body was covered with
cornstalks and left where found, pend
ing the arrival of the coroner or tho
receipt of instructions from his of
fice. When the coroner arrived, the
body was taken to the McFadyen
morgue.
Ranous was 76 years old and had
lived alone in a little shack for some
time, making a bare living through
dealing in fertilizer.
Ranous is believed to have been
shot to death In li's little house near
Fifteenth street and Walnut avenue
the night of September 21. He was not
seen alive after September 21, l>ut
Apodaeo did not report the old man
missing until a week later, on O tober
2. Apodaco was then taken into cus
tody by the police, who ascertained
that Ranous' twoldogs and two h irses
had been left at Ranous' place uncared
for, while the old man never left them
for a long period of time without giv
ing them proper attention.
THOUGHT HE WOVIJ) RETURN
Apodaco, when questioned to Why he
did not report tho matter earlier, said
he thought Ranous had gone away for
a short time, probably after drinking
too much wine, and would return. •
E. R. Mesorve of Hill street and
Cherry avenue, Signal hill, was one of
the last who saw Ranous alive. Ran
ous was at his home tho morning of
September 21. He is believed to have
returned from there to his own home.
On October 3 the police arrested S.
Molino, another Mexican, who had
worked with Apodaeo in hauling man
ure for Ranous. Molino was released
later.
The police secured information that
a revolver shot, fired in Ranous' house,
was heard on the night of his dis
appearance and that a wagon was seen
leaving tho place late at night.
To hold Apodaco in custody, Mrs. D.
S. Dcvoe of 1250 Jesse street, caused
his arrest October 7 on an embezzle
ment charge, alleging that he had re
tained ,»o of her father's money.
On October 17 Chief of Police C. E.
Moyer gave out that he had learned
that Apodaco bought a revolver from
C. i, Roberts, a local pawnbroker, the
night of September 21, and had re
turned the weapon the next day, trad
ing it for a watch and complaining
the revolver would not work properly.
Chief Moyer said one chamber of the
revolver had been emptied during the
interim.
T,ONG SEAKCH FOR BODY
In the meantime the search for the
old man's body had been carried on,
the police and others searching in Ala
mitos bay, the slough west of town and
in tho gum grove east of Long Beach.
On the afternoon of October 7, and the
morning of October 8, Devoe, the son
in-law of Ranous, ami others were
sup, sed to have made a complete ex
amination in the vicinity of Ranous'
house, removing all tho big manure
pile under wh eh it was suspected the
body might have been hidden. It was
reported that 1 >evoe claimed to have
made a complete search under the
manure heap. That understanding
and an unsubstantiated rumor that
Devoe and Ranous had not been on
the best of terms led to Devoe's ar
rest tliis afternoon.
Other relatives of Ranous reside in
Bakersheld. On October 25, R. E. Jlan-
OUS, a nephew, who lives in that city,
i plied Chief Moyer an offer of
$100 for the finding of the missing man,
dead or alive.
The police are Bald to have been
impressed of late with alleged mi
easiness on IVvoe's part. According
to persons living in the vicinity of
the Ranous home tonight the old man
had quarreled with his son-in-law and
with men working for him. at differ
ent times. The police, it is said, have
learned that a few months a«o there
was a quarrel in his house and a shot j
fired.
