judge Cheney, while an attorney IN the
aase. fs also an old family FRIEND, aud he
asked to be permitted to testify as to the
| young mans character. He said that he
had known vadim Demons for many
| years; that he was his own sons play
| mate, and that until this accusation had
been brought the boy had borne good
reputation, and in view of these facts he
asked the court to be lenient.
Judge Otis then reviewed the case and
sentenced Demeps TO pay a fine Of $500
or be confined in the county Jail one day
for each 81 of the fine.
District Attorney DAILY then moved that
the other case against Vadim Demons in
connection with the attempt to hold up
the Southern California station be dis
missed, and the court so ordered.
+. A. Demens, the father of Vadim,
paid the fine at once.
HARLEM SPRINGS AND THE MOTOR
the San Bernardino, Arrowhead and
Western railway, and the Harlem Springs
resort are both to be sold, and everything
points to +. Kohl, OF Centralia, H., as
the purchaser. Two weeks ago it was
announced that Mr.. Kohl was about to be-
come the owner of this Highland motor
line, as it Is Familiarity called. the sale
being negotiated by Receiver Brodrick.
When the statement was Published iG
met with vigorous denial from those
who ought to know the moves which
were being made. But. notwithstanding,
subsequental information has LEAKED out
which not onlv confirms mat statement,
but is to the effect that Mr.. Kohl has also
Mt nd 60 nd tho ri ~,
Sphings property, and that the papers are
all ready for the trasfer, if indeed the
deeds have not already passed.
A few days ago Seth Marshall, the rrIn-
cipal owner of the property, brought
some suits in the superior court for the
purpose OF quieting title to the property.
1t is also known that he has made other
deals with thoss who mad an interest IN
the property, and he now has a comp etc
and perfect title to the land, which is
unincu m bered, with the exception OF the
mortgage which is held by Mr.. Kohl, and
aside from all these quiet moves, looking
to the transfer, there is the positive state
rnent made by a man who is dirceot ly in
terestel, that the sale mas been made and
that Mr.. Koal will be the new owner of
the property.
That the deal for the transfer of the
motor line is now contaminated. and
only awaits the approval of Comptroller
Brodrick, for the bank, made propo-
sition to the stockholders of the road,
which was accepted. lie had received
the offer from some party, whose identity
ne did not disclose to the owners Of the
road, since it was unnecessary, but who
is also known to be Mr.. Kohl.
The sal: OF the motor road and Harlem
Springs to Mr.. Kohl, or to anyone else
for that matter, would mean of course
that some money would be spent in the
entire renodeiing of everything con.
nected with the property; .Apropos of
the statement that Mr.. Kohl is the pur-
chaser. it is known that within the past
few days architects plans for extnsive
Improvements at Harlem have been
placed in the hands of y. H. Kohl, IN
this city, the son of Mr.. F. Kohl, and
this ought to remove the last lingering
doubt as to who will own and manage
the new resort.
The possibllitie at Harlem springs for
great sanitarium are almost unlimited.
With hot springs and baths equal to
those at the famed Arrowhead springs.
the hotel which was burned July 4th last
and but five miles from the neart of the
city, it is much better situated than was
the Arrowhead resort. which may be re-
built, but toward which no active steps
have as yet been taken. Four or five
miles away, In the mountains, water is
running away which would develop
electricity not only for lighting the hotel
or sanitarium which may be built, but
also to supply motive power and provide
for the equipment Of the motor road as an
electric line.
