RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, June 5.--Another move
was made in the superior court today
which recalled vividly the murder and
robbery Of T. c. Narramore by the Cum
mings brothers last summer. 1t was
when District Attorney Gill moved that
the Indictment against Juan Lopez for
grand larceny be dismissed, which mo-
tion the court promptly granted. The
crime for which Lopez was indicted was
the part he took in the robbery of Mar
rafnore, he being with the Cummings
boys when the murder was done. Soon
after the trial and conviction of the
Cummings boys, Lopez, who turned
states evidence at trial, was discharged.
Later he was indicted by the grand ju-
ry for grand larceny, as it was thought
he should be punished for the part he
took In the robbery and murder; as the
Cummings boys, appealed their case 1T
was also thought best to know where
Lopez was in case he should be wanted
as a witness in a second trial, if the
higher court should grant one. The de-
NAL OF a new trial to the Cummings
boys did away. with the necessity of
holding Lopez as a. witness, and as the
evidence against him of grand larceny
was not strong enough to convict, his
discharge was asked for
The second trial of Francisco Gauvish,

Notes and News Brevitles

PASADENA, June 5.-A surprise was
sprung on the voters this morning IN
the school election, since when Mr.. G. j.
Willett finally accepted the call OF nu-
merous voters to become q candidate for
the position, he did SO only after assur-
lnces had been made from all sides that
here would be no other candidate and
no opposition. Therefore, when the
name of DIR. J. E. James was found
printed upon a great number OF tickets
which were very industriously circulat-
ed around this morning, everybody was
surprised except the few who were at
the bottom Of the matter. DIR. James is
conceded to be an honorable gentleman
and well qualified for the place, and no
doubt he was not party to the scheme
of making a still hunt for the office, in
stead Of coming out openly. Such tao
tics on the part of the few who are re-
sponsible for 1t will not make them a
very great host of friends In the com
munity. Mr. Willet was only prevailed
upto to accept the place after numerous
requests by many representative citi-
zens Of all parties, and 1t was only when
he was assured that there would be no
contest-the friends of the other gentle
man declaring that his name would not
be presented-that he finally yielded to
their repeated requests and allowed his
name to be used. Mr.. Willett Is a DEM
ocrat. but he was the choice of all the
designated, who worked like beavers to
elect their candidate with the following
result:
c. ]. willett, 593; Dr. j. e. James, &c.
The total of 963 votes is the largest ever
polled In Pasadena at d school election.
