member, he taking his seat at noon Of
that day, and they have been years of
good service-always in the interest
of the county and the people. He will
retire with honor to himself and the
county. While a member of the San
Bernar0ino county board from this dis
trict he was the one always to hop onto
the many jobs put up, and often carried
through over his head by that body. He
was as pleasant and smiling as usual
today-just as though he had lifetime
to serve at big salary.
The clerk of the board of supervisors,
r. A. Condee, says that the warrants
for the election officers will not be ready
for several days. There are over 400 Of
them, and it will take some little time
to the auditor. These claims run from
81 each to Sc, and will amount in the
aggregate to more than $1,000

an accident while coming down the Box

juring him internally. He was taken
back to his home.

beyer, Robert Wilkinson, all of Win
chester, and the editor of the News, Mt
Hudson & Tomkins' last night, over the
two wild geese shot on the road in from

cial time more enjoyable than the game.
