and Is alive and we'll cared for by Henry

some lung trouble, either the grip or pos
sibly pneumonia He was fret seen We'd
nesday, when he come down from the
mountains to Glen Helen ranch and
stayed there two days. Mr.. Cole tried to
persuade him to como to the county hos
pital. but the man was too proud TO ac'
cept the county's hospitality and posi-
lively refused to come. Two days later
he left Glen Helen and went to Meyers
place. where he is now.
He was in San Bernardino for some
time, he says. and spent some money
with local Physicians, but received no

altitude and started for Victor. He still
had some money. but economical BY
tramping through the pass and CHANGED
to see tho deserted cabin, which he deter.
mined to occupy. While there he became
very i'll. and says he would have died
had it not been for the cactus fruit he
found and which he used for food, not 30
much from necessity as because he could

NO PRICE FOR HORSES.
An auction sale of horses from the
Chino ranch this morning developed the
fact that there is less demand than ever
for horses. The prices ranged from 81 to
ST. so and some of the horses sold were
ones which few years ago would have
been IN demand at $500.
Richard Grid has made the raising OF
horses one of the features OF his ranch,
but since there is no longer any profit
in the business he determined to dispose
of them, which accounts for the auction.
One splendid looking gray mare, with
good stlye, went for $3.50. Another pretty
nay vas knocked off for 81, ana so the
prices went throughout the sale.
A team of beautifully matched bays,
with splendid black names and tails, I'm
ally went for s35, $3.50 each. This was
the best price obtained for any OF the
horses sold.
In the afternoon another attempt was
made, but prices were not much uetter:
their predecessors almost without
market value.
