POMONA, Feb. 22d.
Messrs. Elliott and Gallup, the two
high license members of our board of
city trustees, are indignant at state
ment which has been published in ref
erence to them. Since the proceedings
against W. M. Woody began it has been
said that proceedings of some kind were
to be commenced against Elliott and
Gallup to oust them from Office by the
no license people. The statement re-
ferred to was to the effect that the
grounds upon which these proceedings
were to be commenced were such that
II the no license people were to ''hold up
their finger" that Elliott and Gallup
would resign and get out. AS these are
both gentlemen of standing and large
means and responsibility, their friends
naturally resent the insinuation that
they have been guilty of any dishonest
or dishonorable act. 1t is said that on
Tuesday large number OF arrests are to
be made of persons for visiting Seine
gas.' 1t is claimed by majority of
our people that this part of the ordi-
nance will not stand the test of a Judi
eial decision in the higher courts. Mr..
Sumner, city attorney, informed your
correspondent Saturday, however, that
this part of the ordinance was Just as
constitutional as any part of it. We
will doubtless know more about it in
the sweet by-and-by, for there is no
question but what it will be carried up.

1t is said that prosecutions are to be
inaugurated against the ''cienegas" of
this city for failing to procure county
licenses.
Curriers' four-horse team ran away
Saturday in town, or rather came into
town on a break-neck runaway. The
driver was unable to control them, and
soon after entering the city one of the
horses fell down and was dragged some
distance before the team was stopped.
The driver threw himself off the wagon
about this time, but was miraculously
not hurt.
w. M. Woody is yet sick at home.

Thanks to prohibition, Pomona has
no subjects nor can furnish any patients

springs. Surely this is contamination
to be devoutly thankful for.
The wires for the San Antonio Elec-

follow other enterprises.
