SAUSALIT0'S SENSATION.
Editor Burrey Surreptfously Removed His
Forms" From the Possession of
Sheriff.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, Dec. l5.-The
Marin County Herald has gone out of
existence, and its forms" are in the
custody of the police in San Francisco,
while its editor Charles Burrey, is threat
ened with arrest on a charge OF removing
property from. under the care of the Sheriff
of Marin County.
Editor Burrey was recently charged
with criminal libel by Wheeler Martin,
Postmaster of Eastland, and escaped the
ire of the aged Postmaster only by pub
fishing a lengthy apology.
Last Tuesday the Herald moved from
Mill Valley TO Sausalito, with the inten-
tion OF continuing the publication at that
place. The type had hardly reached Sau-
salito before type foundry placed an at
tachment upon it. Yesterday morning at
$3.50 o'clock men under the charge of Mr..
Burrey went to Sausalito Hall, where the
property was kept, and took away the
forms of the paper. They were shipped to
San Francisco and sent to job-printing
establishment. The San Francisco police
were informed by wire that the forms had
been taken out of the hands of the Sheriff
of this county, and search for them was
made. Late Saturday afternoon they were
located. and the police took charge of
them and are still holding them.

LOMPOC WANTS THE LINE,
Citizens Working for a Branch
From the New Coast
Railroad.
Given Assurance That It Would Be
Built If Rights of Way Were
rendered.

SAN IA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. 10
Two public meetings have been held in
Lompoc the past week to consider move
ment to secure branch railroad from the
Southern Pacific main coast line now be-
ing built through this county. This line,
according to the estab lished route, leaves
Lompoc several miles to one side. A COM
mittee consisting of T. &. Calls, George
Roberts, J. T. Curry. James Sloan, q. w.
Saunders and w. w. Broughton, all prom
inent citizens and landholGers, the latter
Supervisor of the county and editor of the
Lompoc Record, has been appointed to
present the claims of the community to
the railroad company for its consideration.
1t has been informally announced that if
terminal facilities and right of way were
rendered the company stands ready to
build this branch, and there is every assur-
ance that the concerted action of men of
influence in the town will result in secur-
ing the desired result.
Lompoc is one of the most prosperous
towns in Santa Barbara County. 1t is
charmingly located nesting between the
two well-defned ranges of mountains. 1t
has its own public water supply, the finest
high school building in the county (Santa
Barbara's not excepted), and an admirable
school system. The lands of Lompoc
Valley are exceptionally fertile and
adapted to the raising of all varieties of
fruits, but being especially famed for their
apples and tomatoes which are the best
raised in the Stale. The Lompoc Valley
apples took first premium over all the
United States at the New Orleans exposi-
ton. Lompoc's people are intelligent and
public spirited, and mean to build up a
large city.

SAN BERHARDIH0 TRIAL.
Charles Button to Be Prosecuted for the
Third Time for the Killing of
Gustav Roehm.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Dec. 49,
The third trial of Charles Button for the
murder of Gustav Boehm will commence
tomorrow in the Superior Court, and, al
though over two years have elapsed since
the killing, public interest has not abated
in the least. Friends of Boehm are just as
determined to punish his murde rer as they
were at the first trial, and feel confident
that they will land Button in the State s
Prison.
Boehm's friends are confident that a
new witness secured by the prosecution
will impeach witness Heaps testimony.
Heaps, although sworn for the State,
has shown an inclination to shield Button
and hide the true facts of the case, with
the excuse that he was drunk at the time
of the killing and did not realize what was
being done. In the previous two trials he
testified that just before Button shot
Boehm the latter was coming toward But
ton with his rife raised; while to the new
witness. three days after the homicide, he
said:
After Button stamped on Boehm the
and shot him where he lay"
In the first trial Button was convicted
of manslaughter and sentenced to seven
years at San Quentin, but he was granted
a new trial by the Supreme Court after
being in the county Jail for fifteen months.
In the second trial the jury disagreed
after being out over nineteen hours, stand
ing six to six.

Farmer Bell Must Account for Hts Prop

erty to Creditors.
STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 15.-Frank P.
Bell, the Union Island farmer who was
forced into insolvency some time ago by
his creditors, has been cited by Judge
Smith to appear before him on the Goth
inst. for examination as to the where
abouts of certain property which the as
signee, Jacob Klemp, alleges is being
secreted for the purpose OF defrauding
Bells creditors.
James w. Bell is also. according to the
petition for the citation, engaged in the
conspiracy, and while the exact nature of
the course of the Bells is not specified in
the complaint, it is presumed that the
assignee is having hard time getting hold
of the property ordered turned over to him
by the court. Mr.. Klemp is backed up by
formidable array of attorneys, those of
record on the petition being Nutter d De-
vies, Budd & Thompson and ]. G. Swim
merton.
Mr.. Bells debts aggre gate about $36, 900.
He has ample real estate to cover this
amount, but portions OF it are involved
and the case was so complicated that vari-
Gus creditors, in order to run no risks,
brought the reputed wealthy farmers
financial status to an issue. The farmer
protested against being declared insolvent.
and when the court ordered him to file his
inventory, he took the matter very much
to heart. The assignee is Uniformed and
believes" that the farmer is giving him IN
correct reports and proposes to probe still
further into his affairs.

Anxiety at Puget Sound Ports
Over the Absence of

RAINING AT SANTA BARBARA.
Farmers Jubilant Over the Prospect
for Fine Pasturage and Early
Flowing.

CHICO, CAL, Dec. 15.-One of the heavi-
est hailstorms ever known in this section
of California began at o'clock this even
ing and continued twenty minutes. The
proverbial hailstone as large as hens egg
fell in abundance, covering the ground to
a depth OF four inches. Church services
were interrupted and the small boy now
sports with snowballs in the street.
All skylights that were unprotected were
broken and several runaways occurred
during the storm. At this time of the
year no damage to land products can re-
suit. Two photograph galleries with glass
roofs suffered the greatest loss, and many
window lights were broken. Farmers can
now begin blowing.
VICTORIA. B. c., Dec. 15.-Anxiety is
felt for the safety of the coasting steamer
Maude. 1t left Alborni, on the west coast
of Vancouver Island, on December 4, and
has not since been heard from. A steamer
will be sent tomorrow to search for the
missing vessel.
Her Majesty's ship Royal Arthur flag
ship, in command of Admiral Stephen
son, sailed at 10 o'clock this morning to
search for the disabled Strathnevis. The
Royal Arthur has been fitted with an old
fashioned crowsnest on the forem asst, from
which there will be a constant lookout
with telescope by day, while powerful
searchlights will be utilized at night.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Dec. ia
storm set in from the southeast this morn
ing, rain falling steadily nearly all day.
At a late hour tonight there were some
signs of the storm breaking, but it is hoped
that it will persevere for the night. The
previous showers had started the feed
everywhere, and this rain will insure a
good and early pasturage. Farmers are
anxious to commence blowing, and the
ground is not yet sufficiently soft for this
purpose.
SEATTLE, WASH, Dec. 15.-Seattle had
her first snow of the season to-day, a fall

began the laborious work of opening the
safe on which the combination had been
changed by the absconding deputy post
master, Charles L. McEnerny who has not
yet been found. At o'clock the experts
rested from their labors and held council
of war to decide how best to proceed.
They found that it was necessary to use
force rather than knowledge of combina-
tons, and accordingly the safe was rolled
into an inner department and they began
the onslaught. Tonight they still had
ten or twelve hours work before them.
Postoffice Inspector Erwin figured upon
the books until late hour last night, and
as he proceeded McEnerny's shortage
grew until it reached $500. This may be
considered augmented when the strong
box is opened, the fact that McEnerny
changed the combination being considered
almost conclusive proof that he took with
him the several hundred dollars in coin
that it contained.
Not the slightest trace of McEnerny has
been found. In the light of recent
events there is no doubt that the young
man was daft on fraternal society mat
tiers, and this explains in part where
he put his systematic stealings from
the moneys passing through his hands.
In addition to taking great interest
in Native Son and knights of the Golden
Eagle affairs, McEnernv some time ago
organized society called the Order of
Mystic Owls, apparently being the inspira-
ton of those forming the original "Roost,"
as it was called.
The organization of this body, of course,
involved the outlay of considerable money
for paraphernalia, rent of hall, gas, etc.,
which was augmented when his confreres
elected McEnerny Supreme OWL" He
then felt that his dignity increased; there
was corresponding desire on his part to
be "good fellow" and he proceeded to
make himself one. Evening oyster parties
became the order of the day-or night,
rather, for they often extended into the
wee sma' hours-the brother FOWLS" doubt
less being very glad they became members
of this mystical organization.
All this sort of thing took money and
lots of it, and McEnerny was getting only
$40 month. OF this sum the deputy was
dutiful enough to give his mother $45.
This left him only $25 for "roostirg'' and
other pastimes. By careful calculation it
would appear that he spent at least $50
monthly in entertainment, which was $35
per month beyond his salary. This is
about the amount of his populations for
the past six months, as shown by the
books.
This being the postofice for the naval
business of Mare Island, thousands of dol
lars are sent to all parts of the world
monthly, and as it is positively known
that in two instances McEnerny forwarded
orders for less sums than they were drawn
for, it is seemingly safe to assume that
many hundreds OF dollars left at the office
to be sent to distant points will never
reach them. One order drawn on San
Francisco proves to have been RENTED for
1920 less than the sender intended.

Existence Without Health.
A dispatch from Chicago reports the sui
eide of woman who. having suffered for
q long time with malaria, became despond-
ent.
Calling to mind the MANY thousands
who are afflicted with that obstinate and
unrelenting foe of human health and hap
piness-maiaria in its various hideous
forms-there seems urgent need to give
still greater publicity to the one and only
successful remedy.
Peruvian Bark is known as the most
powerful antimalarial article in medical
science; the difficulty is in introducing it
into the system. In the concentrated form
OF quinine it is too violent in its action.
and cannot be taken long enough continu-
ously to eradicate malarial poisons without
otherwise disordering the system.
Peruvian Bitters is q scientific blend of
Peruvian Bark with other medicinal herbs
and fine California Brandy. It is not only
antimalarial in its action, but it is an abso-
lutely perfect tonic. 1t supplies the active
principle Of Peruvian Bark in continuous
small quantities. while it so tones and in
vigorates the entire system, especially the
digestive functions. as to produce the best
possible condition for cure. There is no
case on record where Peruvian Bitters have
failed. Reader, if you are not afflicted.
perhaps some suffering friend or acouaint-
ance will thank you to bring this to his
notice.

DRIED FRUIT SENT EAST.
Santa Clara Vdltey Packeries Closed for
the Season.

Santa Clara valley PGc6erteS Ctosed Tor
the Season.
SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 15.-The fall
trade in dried fruit is about over, and the
various exchanges and unions throughout
the county have shut down packing, and
the rest of the fruit that goes forward will
be principally in bags. During the past
week one carload of dried peaches, two
carloads of dried prunes and one carload
of slab apricots were shipped from the
County Exchange warehouse, which about
cleaned up all the orders on hand.
The car of slab apricots that went for
ward last week was about all of that kind
of fruit that will be handled by the ex-
change this year. The slabs are consid-
cred inferior fruit on account of their
uninvitiug appearance, but they are pro-
nounced the richest and best portion of
the fruit for eating purposes. The slabs
are produced by the overripe aprieots run
ming together and losing their form on the
trays. This fruit is much sought after in
the East by bakers for making pies and
also by marmalade manufacturers.
Advices from New York give the follow
ing quotations for dried fruits: Prime
apricots, 1917 to II cents in boxes and 81
to III cents in bags; peeled peaches are
quoted as high as 15 cents, but prime I'M
peeled fruit does not bring more than so
to 81 cents; prunes OF the sizes 40 to 80
bring ~ cents in bags and cents in
boxes
