The Storm pfater nusstiou-A Child's
Sad Deatn-Notes.
REDLAEDs, May %. The storm water
question Is still troubling number OF
residents and property owners near this
city. The city trustses feel that in
handling the water from the foothills
above town TO it's western limits they are
doing their full share OF the work. This
city has spent about 100000 on the
canal and now the question comes up
who is going to coilplete the drain to
the Santa Ana river. II. L. Drew has
gone to considerable trouble and ex-
penss in building the ditch across his
| property, and then leaves the water to
care for itself along the Santa te track.
In case Of q storm the present condition
of affairs would be quite disastrous, as
O large number Of serious washouts
would occur. Mr., Drew and the city OF
Redlands are not wiling TO contribute
TO the care of the water further than
they have done. There has been dis
position or tho part of some OF eur peo-
pie to take the view that Redlends has
created this storm water and should
look after it, but In this they are mis-
taken, 40 the city has made provision
for itself, and the section below here
should do likewise. Tuesday q consult
tstion was held between Colonel Ferris
of the Santa Fe, Engineer Hawgood OF
the Southern Pacific. Mr.. Melville, rep
resenting the Barton tract people, Mr..
Irving, representing the Gage Canal
company, and Messrs. Bennett, Tuttle
and Judson, representing Redlands.
While considerable argument was
indulged in, no plan was outlined
upon which all the interested parties
can cooperate. They were OF the opin-
ion that it would take from $4,000 to
100000 to finish the canal to the Santa
Ana river. 1t looks as ii the interested
parties could come to some understand.
ing in the matter and each do his share
to complete the drain before the winter
storms come.

An accident happened late Tuesday
afternoon whereby the 6-vear-old son of
Joseph Nunes was killed. Mr.. Nunes,

to town he hae had platform rigged mp

son was placed, while the father, on top

way to town the father stopped the team
to rest them, when the boy got down
and climbed onto the brake without his
father seeing him. When the horses
started the little fellow was thrown be-
fors the wheel, which passed over the
small of his back. The father heard his
cry of pain and Immediately picked him
