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.

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.

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.

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. $226,000 PERMIT GRANTED The permit was- issued yesterday authorizing the erection of the Hi«tori cal and Art Museum of Los Angeles county in Agricultural park; valua tion, $226,000.

CHECKS MAY SAVE HOME FOR FAMILY Distressing Story of Mrs. Dolores Vidal's Predicament Awakens the Sympathy of Citizens FUTILE LAND SALE EFFORTS Charitable Southern Californians Likely to Subscribe Sufficient 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 Mrs. Vidal and the other property owners unfortunate enoflgh to have their homes located within the as sessment district. of the cost was Mre Vidal's share of the cost was $475. She probably never has had that Such money in all her life, for her home was bought on the installment nlan and the smallest installments at that. She could not pay the money and she did not know what to. do. She went to bankers, to real estate men To money lenders, but the property is not attractive and she could not borrow enough to pay the assessment While she was vainly trying to raise the money the lien on her property "as sold* for $512, the additional Amount to pay the penalties that ac craed became she had not the ready cash to pay the first assessment. EFFORTS TO SELI, FUTILE Mrs Vidal has tried to sell her home, but no one will pay her more than enough to cover the assessment, and she feels she might as well let it be taken by the holder of the lien as to sin It for nothing. And that is what will be done unless kind-hearted peo ple come to her assistance and raise the money to lift the assessment Subscriptions received by The Her ald follow: $500 A Friend * 200 Justice ■ 00 t. h. c. :;:::::::::: 1.00 C.

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. BUMPER CROP OF APPLES IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA F. W.
