The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXI.?CALIFORNIA
There is
an atmos
phere of ro
mance envel
op I n k t h o
enrly history
of California
which eveu
encircles the origin of the name.
About l.r>20 a Spanish love story
whk published In which there
was iu Imaginary island In the
Fur East railed California. Some
fifteen years later a party of
Spanish adventurers came upon
the peninsula which we now call
Lower California. Believing that
they had discovered a romantic
Island similar to the one In the
novel, they called It California.
Later on, the territory to the
north became known as Alta
California or High California
and when It became a state, It
was accordingly called Cali
fornia. The first settlers were
the Franciscan monks who came
up from Mexico and established
missions, and many are the leg
ends woven around these pioneer
Padre* There shortly grew up
MeTV-arr'Tfrrttlemcnta around the
missions which the wonderful
climate and fertile soil pros
pered.
The government, while under
Mexican control, was more or
less Independent, and at the out
break of the Mexican war, Fre
mont, who was later defeated
for the presidency, occupied Cal
ifornia. When peace was made
In 1H48, California became Uni
ted States territory. That .<*ame
y*ar gold was discovered In the
Sacramento Valley and th^ rush
of people to California be^an.
The population grew so rapidly
that In I860 California was ad
mitted as the tblrty-firnt state
of the Union, With l.j lf>8,2V7
square mllfs, It Is the largest
state except Texas. Politically,
Its power has been rapidly grow
Ing. California now has thirteen
presidential electors.

Caught a Tarai>tular.
Wliile unpacking a crate of bananas
one day last week Mr. I). V. Dixon,
proprietor of DixoU's Grocery, discov
ered a large tarantular. With the aid
of a stfck and a pair of plyers he
placed it in a glass vessel where it
was kept on exhibition at bis store
and at The Chronicle office for some
time where It attracted a great deal
of attention. It resembles a large
spider, covered with hair and it is said
they grow to immense size mid are
deadly poisonous. Persons who have
visited South America and tbc tropics
have seen 'the spider and prfonounee it
a genuine tarantular. Mrs. K. G.
Whistler tells* us' that when she was
h young girl residing in the Argentine,
tbat she and her brother, Mr. Clem
Thrown, captured one of the largest
tarantulars ever seen in that section
and tbat when she returned to Amer
ica she brought it back with h?*r andl
she thinks it is still on exhibitiotrTn a
museum of natural history in the city
of Washington.

Injured in Automobile Accident.
Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Sowell and Jack
Mackey were caught in an automobile
wreck last Friday evening while driv
ing to Lancaster In Mr. Sowell'* coupe,
which seriously endangered the lives
of all. The account of the accident
as related by Jack Mackey who was
driving the car. is?that as they were
within about three miles of Lancaster
a buggy was just ahead of them going
in the same direction, which they Un
dertook to pass. Three Ford tourTng,
cars were coming from th<? opposite
direction toward them and Just as the
coupe was passing around the buggy
the first Oar passed without hitting
theni: the second car caught the hind
axle of the coupe, turning it around,
J
and the third car struck the com*
squarely* turning it over and smashing
it up pretty badly, the touring car
being upset also. Mr. Sowell, who was
modt seriously injured, sustained a se
rious sprain on the shoulder, it being
thought for a time that the collar bone
was broken; and Ills head and arm
were considerably lacerated. ? Hp ras
also well covered with gasoliife tb\t
leaked from the car, which burnt him
right badly. Mrs. Sowell was also con
siderably shaken up, ibut suffered no
serious injury; and Jack Mackey had
an arm and leg considerably bruised.
It was indeed a narrow and providen
tial escape from death for all. A mes
sage to Lancaster quickly brought phy
sicians and others, who gave medical
attention to the Injured 0nes and took
them to Lancaster, where Mr. Sowell
was placed on the evening train and
taken to the hospital In Rock Hill,
accompanied by Mrs. Sowell. While
Mr. Sowell has suffered considerably,
we arc pleased to be Informed that h*
is doing as well as could be expected.
Mrs. Sowell and Jack Mackey hav?
about recovered from their bruises,?
