The attempt 10 GUST DIR. J. H. Pierson
from the horticultural commission hit
the earth with very dull thud this
morning, and for the present vt least he
will continue hunting for bugs and scale
| and looking after the interest, OF the
fruit growers OF the county. Several
we eks ago a petition was lodged with
| the board of supervisors, alleging that
DR.. Pierson was physically unable to per-
form the work OF commissioner, and
asking that his office be declared vacant
and a successor named. The matter was
made 8 special order for To-Day, and it
came up the first thing at the morning
session OF the board. The petitioners
were represented by George B. Cole, and
Il. L. Oster appeared for the commission
or whose scalp WAS in demand. After four
| witnesses had been examined, the case
ended by the petitioners requesting that
| they be allowed to withdraw the petition.
They stated that they had reasons for the
proposed act, which they did not wish to
make public unless forced to do so, and
way and the records Of the case were
| pigeon holsd. Thus ended the matter,
and Or. Pierson IS still commissioner.
! The cases of II. W. Robinson, a special
deputy sheriff living near Rialto, who, IS
charged with assault with deadly
weapon, and W. ". Petit. from the same
district, who is charged with battery.

he was called upon to settle a neiehbor-
hood quarrel. The result was that Petit
was found guilty OF battery. and Robin
son was bound over on charge OF assault
with deadly weapon and his bail fixed
al $1,000. Robinson came to town Monday
| morning, and seeing Petit on the street.
started out to arrest him for assaultlng
young man named Ralph Hsrold. who
happens to be an employee Of Robinson.
| Herold was along at the time, and after
they had grabbed Petit. Robinson drew
a revolver and beat Petit over the head,
inticting some painful injuries. In the
| hearing before Judge Soule today Robin
sons defense was that he was attem pting
to arrest Petit and that tho latter resist
ed, necessitating the use of force. But
it was shown by the prosecution that he
had no warrant for Pettit's arrest, and
that in addition he used more force than
was necessary, even if Petit was resist
ing.
