Cassidy, Los Angeles Tinsmith, Found Shot to Death in Altadena (Continued from Pag One) and found Cassidy, lying face down on the road, shot through the body. He was dead when the hikers reached him. The young men left the body and hurried to the Altadena sheriffs office where they related their gruesome story. Captain Vincent Monteleone and Deputies Dawson and Eberz rushed to the lonely spot and after ordering the body removed to the mortuaiy of Ives and Warren, circulated a general alarm. Rum Feud Victim Little doubt remained In the minds of investigators today regarding motive of the murder.

That it was not robbery was proved by the fact that Cassidy's watch and a considerable sum of money was left in his pockets by the slayer. It was believed today that Cassidy was the victim of a liquor feud which has been seething for the past three weeks in Los Angeles. According to police, Cassidy's residence in Los Angeles is in the center of a locality which has been the scene of numerous police raids. Relatives of the slain man stated that he had no known enemies and suggested that he might have been mistaken by a hired gunman for a "named" victim in the combat which hag divided the liquor vendors and manufacturers in Southern California. Bullet Hits Neck Cassidys death was described as due to a heavy caliber bullet which severed the juglar vein in his neck.

Further evidence collected today revealed that the victim had apparently driven to the scene the tragedy in the same car with his murderers. Deputy sheriffs said today that Cassidy had acted as informer in liquor law violation cases. An informer is known to the underworld as a stool pigeon, or one who reports the activities of his associates to the authorities. PASTOR GREETED BY MANY FRIENDS Many Pasadena friends of Rev.

ELLIOTT, NOTED RAIL CHIEF, DIES (Continued from Page One) succumbed late last night to an attack of heart disease at the Cape Cod summer home of his daughter, Mrs, Frederick Wilson. Under his guidance the Northern Pacific regained good will to the extent that under his regime it doubled its capacity and business.

Hill picked him for the presidency of the Northern Pacific, a post he held for 10 years until the New Haven found itself badly in need of someone to revitalize sical and financial rehabilitation of the road.

He held the presidency from 1913 to 1927, when he was forced by a nervous collapse brought about hy overwork to resign. When the war came he returned to the field and was made chairman of the committee that inaugurated the zoning system to facilitate coal transportation. In 1920 he was recalled to the Northern Pacific to become chairman of the board. At various times he was a member of the directorate of the Burlington, the Colorado Southern, the New' Haven, the New York, Ohio Western railroads and the Western Union Telegraph company.

Torrid Wave Sweeps East and Midwest (Continued from Page One) was a succession of blistering hours that claimed at least 82 lives and sent sweltering thousands to beaches for relief. Chicago with its massed millions had 15 deaths attributable to the heat. Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Kansas also reported fatalities either from drowning or heat prostration. Out of the west last night thehe came relief, borne on the backs of thunder clouds which dumped cooling storms over much of the area. Throughout the night the mercury sagged slowly from marks as high as 100 and the reading were down to 770 degrees in many places this morning.

An official estimate of the number of persons who crowded the Lake Michigan beaches here was 600,000. Seventy persons required first aid treatment either because of heat prostration or through injury. Upsets Radio The auroroa borealis, which was pronounced Saturday night, disrupted wire communications and hindered radio reception. Radio announcement that it could be plainly observed directed much attention to the manifestation in Chicago where it is only occasion- ally seen. It shot like the Wraiths of Valkyries gliding with incredible speed to some valhalia on the roof of the skies.

To Chicago observers the aurora borealis took on the appearance of gossamer clouds caught in a great suction and yanked lightning fast from horizon to zenith. In Iowa the showers that broke the heat wave were a benefit to growing crops. Predictions over most of the area were for cooler temperatures today and Tuesday. ST.

LOUIS, July 9. The 11th death within a week attributed to heat occurred here today when Emil Engelhardt, 60, was found dead in his room. Arena. His opponent in the 10-round main event at the house Thursday night is to be Sammy Olsen, the pride of Fresno. Henry, a southpaw, is a very illusive fighter and possesses a real punch.

He holds the heavy title of the south and a draw with Bearcat Wright, who defeated the redoubtable Ciisby. Willie also has defeated Marine Raineri, Bob Lawson, Sunny Jim Williams and a lot of other good ones. Olsen comes down from Fresno with the reputation of being a real scrapper and his record shows he beat Bad News Johnson, Vijo Doman, Vic Alexander and gave a great scrap to Tom Hawkins, who greatly outweighed him. Phil Blood and Felix Ramos, both popular at the Arena, will fight the six-round semi-final at 140 pounds and the four-round special will be between Tommy Bevo and Young Lancho, 14 5 pounds. Two other matches are billed.

Dr. Charles R. Watson, president of the American college at Cairo, Egypt, who is now touring this country, delivered the sermon yesterday morning at the Pasadena Presbyterian church. The hand of God is moving mightily in the Moslem world, Tr. Watson stated.

The Moslem field has been a missionary field until the World war. Since the olden days of the crusades there has never been such inter-penetration of this country as is now going on, he asserted. "The war has changed the social customs of the land. Now men and women walk side by side on the streets, whereas before, a woman had to walk 10 feet behind a man. Moving pictures are bringing the life of the western hemisphere to that of the east.

"The people of Egypt are striving for education in science and art. The day is fast arriving when the true light will shine throughout the Moslem world. Abel Fatigny, one-legged Paris froubador, has started his second tour of France on crutches. Charlie Paddock Is One of 5 Oldtimers on U. S.

Watson lias cut his distance down from the 3000 meter steeplechase in 1020 and the 1300 meter flat run four years ago to the 800 meter route this year. Conspicuous among the missing are the three veteran policemen and Irish heroes Pat McDonald and Mutt McGrath of the New York force and Jim McEachern of San Francisco. All three found the pace of youth too swift for them. Fifty-year-old McGrath made a gallant effort to gain a place among the hammer throwers but finished fifth.

McEachern was further down the same list, while McDonald failed to approach anything like old-time form in the shotput, dominated now by Pacific coast huskies.
