NOTES.


X. HI. Wade, manager of the Santa
Fe, has addressed the trustees OF San
Bernardino, Gays the Riverside Press,
regarding the proposed extension of
Fourth street, in that city, which will
interfere with the railroad shops and
yards of the above company. Mr.. Wade
plainly tells the officials that if the pro-
posed extension is made bis company
will have to and will move their shops,
from the fact that the improvement
contemplated would entirely destroy the
usefulness of the shop and yards. San
Bernardino cannot afford to drive the
Santa Fe out of town just to improve a
street.
That is an ugly rumor which we hear
from Williams, says the Needles Eye.
1t seems that regular and systematic
robbing of cars has been going on there
for some time, and that for this reason
detective was put in the yard as a
switchman. He discovered the crooked
ness, and made some arrests. A con-
ductor found things getting warm for
him, SO he left between two suns. They
say the end is not yet.
Colonel Hewitt has returned to Los
AuScloh, says bue OanJd ANA Didues
after inspecting the railroad situation
here, and will recommend the erection
of neat little passenger depot and
ticket Office at Fourth street. He said
the street car company could not be
blamed in the least for not longer run
ming their cars to the present depot. If
the Colonels advice is acted upon, and
1t should be, there will soon be another
depot on Fourth street.
The road-bed has been made and the
ties laid on the new route of the Redon-
do railway out of Los Angeles, and the
track will be removed from Vermont
avenue as soon as the rails can be placed
on the new track.
The two motor companies, the River
side and Redlands, are preparing to
build a union depot in San Bernardino.
The Courier man has seen the plans and
says the building will be 50x30 feet, two
stories, of pressed brick and OF the
latest pattern of architecture. The up
per floor will be used exclusively for
offices, while the lower floor will consist
of waiting-rooms, ticket Office and other
offices. Back and adjoining this portion
of the building will be train-sheds 30x
100 feet, SO built that the trains can run
parallel with one another.

specifications for this work.
In the matter of protest, 4S9, from A.
Stout against sewering and paving Pearl
street between Ninth and Pico streets,
we recommend that the same be filed,
as it is premature.
In the matter of petition, 487, from G.
E. Smith ct al. for the abandonment of a
certain official map Of portion of North
Broadway, recommend that the same be
referred to the city attorney for his ad-
vice as to the propriety of granting said

THE All TET CASE.
Deputy District Attorney Phibbs
Claims to Have Been Threatened

deputy DiStrict Attorney PhiDbS
Claims to Have Been Threatened.
The preliminary examination of All
Tet for perjury was concluded yesterday
before Justice Austin and resulted in
the willy heathen being held to answer
with bonds fixed at $4,000. Lem Hung,
Woo Chung, Low Fou and Lem Vow
were also held on the same charge, the
bonds in each case being set at $4,000.
All the defendants were committed.
Mr.. Hardesty of counsel for the de-
tense tried to stir up breeze when the
first case was called, by announcing that
he proposed to swear out six complaints
against Deputy District Attorney Phibbs
for perjury. ''Mr. Phibbs and not my
clients" said the COUNSEL or, sis guilty
of perjury in swearing to he complaint
against these innocent Cinnamon"
Mr.. Hardesty communicated his in
tentions to Mr.. Phibbs and when the
latter was called on to testify for the de-
fense in All Tets case he seized the op-
portunity of informing the court of the
threats made to him by the DEFENDANTS
counsel.
Justice Austin said the matter should
be thoroughly aired.
Mr.. Phibbs said after the days busi-
ness was concluded: "Well, we're still
in the ring, and prepared to send those
fellows up in spite of these threats,
which, by the way, are made for the
purpose OF intimidating u.s."
Evidence of the guilt of the China
men is accumulating rapidly, and these
new facts will be embodied in the infor.
nations filed in the superior court.
1t is reported that counsel for the
men committed will attempt to secure
their release by habeas corpus proceed
ings.

A STRONG BANK.

A New Concern Based on Solid Prin-
ciples.
The HERALD reporter called at the
agency of the new Cooperative bank at
the corner of First and Broadway, yes
terday and procured copy of The
Banker, small sheet published in the
interests of the bank, from which it was
learned that the plan upon which the

most solid institutions in the state.

positors and borrowers are stockholders,
and it is conducted on the mutual plan,
tie command being in the hands OF the

Did it ever occur to you, dear reader
that the editor of a paper couldn't manu-
facture news? And did it ever occur to
you as unreasonable to expect that a
paper published in small town and in
the dull season of the year should contain
as much news as though the circum-
stances were entirely different. Usually
there is no difficulty in filing the local
page in city where news items are
plenty. It is in the small town where the
ability of the local editor is put to the
severest test. Some weeks the dearth Of
news is almost appalling, but we are ex-
pected to have about the usual amount
just the same. We sometimes get dis
couraged wheu we come to make up our
local page. 1t will be peter by and bye.

From Ellis Review-Headlight.

We are sorry to state that strip Of
country north Of town was struck by hail
last Sunday and great deal Of damage
was done. Some of the farmers were
cleaned ont ofcrops of every kind. Much
sympathy is expressed for them az q
number had q similar experience last
year.
The kid base ball club Of Wa-Keeney
came down last Saturday to play the
kids of this city. It became apparent
before many innings had been played
that the empire" was determined that
the Wa-Keeney club should win. The
Ellis boys stood it for time until the
decisions became too rank, when they
kicked, and the game broke up in :
general row. Il Is said the umpire had
q narrow escape from being mobbed.

Of Ellis was held in the Office Of The Dis-
trict Clerk at Hays on Monday. n. u.

John j. Bigbee, of Cove county, con-
tested claim in his neighborhood few
weeks ago. We are in receipt of letter
from Mr.. Bigbee in which he says: ION

Bigbee makes some strong limitations in
his letter which we prefer not to publish
without further investigation. Mob law
must not prevail in western Kansas. The

Reeder was chosen clerk by the unani-

Court, authorised by the last congress, for

OF the eminent men who make the ros-
trun of judges. We are pleased to note
that this high standard of excellence has
been fully maintained by this court in
the selection Of Judge Reeder as clerk.
This August judicial body met and or

Monday evening, distance of about ten
miles, and was on hand the following

He too went home Monday night and was
in Wa-Keeney the following morning at
half past seven. Commissioner Warne, in
order to be on the safe side, stayed in

Outside OF the reporter. you can't find
anybody Who win admit that there was e
match game Of ball between the Ellis and
Wa Keeney mines last Fourth of July.
Yet it is true, absolutely true, although
the statement requires some modification,
and we are not so certain now whether it
was the Ellis club, assisted by the Hays
or the Hays club assisted by Ellis, that
struck our boys with such cyclonic force.
The results were what We were most
interested in and We must reluctantly adj
NIT after seeking in vain for extenuating
circumstances that our boys, collectively
speaking, couldn't play little bit, or
possibly they could, but history will re-
cord just the same that they didn't. We
are not very well up on base ball. matters
but we were confdentially informed by
one who is that twenty-five to one is a
a tolerable bad beat. It looks that way
to us and cold, stern, hard figures won't
lie. We met the enemy and we are
''theirn'. Using modern expression we
weren't in it at all. A lot of us fellows
went down as cheering committee but
the signal to cheer, never came. Then it
was we first suspicioned that something
was wrong, and when we watched inning
after inning for the signal which came
not suspicion, deepened into gloom and
finally despair settled over all like dark
pail, as the Ellis crowd continued to mer-
'rily bang the ball down in the neighbor-
hood of Big Creek. But all things must
have an end and in this case the nine
innings were finally completed with the
result as stated above. We started out
to tell the thusness and whyfore of the
Waterloo defeat of our boys, but somehow
we can't think of anything that is plausi.
BILE enough, and we wont lie outright if we
can avoid it, and besides we have not
been paid anything for that kind of work.
Let us forget it as speedily as possible.
Already it seems to us like dreams
fourth of July idyl as it we're.
Wa-Keeney had two or three players
who were fully equal to the best in the
Ellis-Hays combination but the rest were
inferior and besides entirely out of prac-
tice. Our battery was superior and when
Gibson's sinewy right arm was drawn
back-when he had ceased to tumble
with the ball and let it go towards the
striker-the air would emit blue, sulphur
GUS smoke and close behind with noise
like Kansas cycloue in lumber yard
And Thomas who stood behind the bat
played an almost errorless game. The
Ellis battery we're also good but their
strength was in their general make up
and uniformly good playing in all posi-
tions, and besides they only had one weak
man in the whole nine, while Wa
Keeney had four or FIVE comparatively
weak and two or three very weak. Not
often did the Ellis club establish a con-
nection between Gibson's ball and their
bats but when they did it was always
some time before the ball could recover
its breath-at least it was sometime be-
fore it re-appeared in the pitchers hand
ready for business. r
There was nice crowd present, the
afternoon was delightful and notwith-
standing the disastrous termination ev-
cry body enjoyed the game. The return
game viii probably not be played soon.

Death of Major Abram v. Davis.

Death of Major Abram v. Davis.
A number of our older citizens will
remember Major Abram V. Davis who re-
sided for several years in Wa-Keeney
and will very much regret to learn of his
death which occurred June 18th at his
home in Canajoharie, N. Y. Major
Davis was universally loved and respect
ed by all who knew him while resident
here, and all speak of him in terms of
highest praise. We make the following
extract from his home paper regarding
his life and death which we are sure will
be read with interest by many of our
readers;
"The death of Major Abram v. Davis,
which occurred at 6: SO, a.; m: yesterday,
removed brave man, loyal and patriot
ic citizen, who for over "a years has held
a warm place in the hearts Of all Canajo-
harians.
Major Davis was born in Mayfeld, Full
ton county, Oct. 7th 1888, and in August
1862 enlisted as second lieutenant in Co.
D. 152d N. Y. Vols, faithfully serving his
country in its hour of greatest need. In
1868 he was promoted to a first ieuten-
ancy and in 1864 for gallant and hereto
rious conduct he was commissioned ad-
jutant, and again in 1866 his bravery was
officially recognized and he was brevetted
major. In December 1862, while in the
line of duty, he was stricken with typhoid
fever and was several times given up for
dead, but his strong constitution and
and temperate habits befriended him anq
at the earliest moment he was again on
duty. His death yesterday from pro-
gressive locomotor ataxia, was direct
result of this fever.
His faithful wife and little girl survive
him.
So, full of honors and measurably of
years, Major Davis has passed away,
leaving as rich legacy to his devoted
wife and little one, a reputation of brave
and fearless soldier and the example of
an active, useful and honorable life.
Where he was known personally, he will
always be kindly remembered and his
relatives have the consolation afforded by
hosts of sympathetic friends and the as
surance that the departed is entered
upon q grand review of the innumerable
army of the Eternal Commander and
King.
