POMONA

POMONA, May 29.-The meagre news
of the cyclones terrible devastation at
st. Louis, which reached this place this
morning. has made numerous Missouri
people living here terribly anxious as
to the fate of relatives or friends living
In the path of the storm.
A. d. Hunter Is very much concerned

ed. 1t is said that Mexico, No., is well
represented in Pomona, and there are
numerous settlers here from Galloway
county.
The "seceders' from Pomona's cor

following boundaries:
On the east. Eleanor street from Sew

Ellen, thence north to north line of
James Loney's place, and then west to

nue., on the south, Seventh street east

local papers are adverse to the move

The Pomona Liquor Ordinance Upheld
by Judge Smith-Court Notes

The examination of the Mings broth
ers for the murder of John Hayes, the
Puente postmaster, was continued be-
fore Justice Young in the township
court; yesterday. Only three witnesses
were examined, however, when the
hearing was continued to Monday. S.
p. Rollins, w. L. Finch and Detective
J. Frank Burns testified, but nothing
new was brought out, except in the case
Of Mr.. Burns, who said that he had dis
covered the prints of horses hoofs near
the old lime kiln where the masks and
"slickers" were found. This is introduce
ing a new theory into the case, as it is
hardly reasonable to suppose that the
Mings brothers would take horses to
the place, which was only a short dis
lance from where they lived.
Sheriff Burr was promptly on hand in
the morning to answer to the subpoena
issued Thursday afternoon, and brought
the much-talked-of pistol with him, but
he was not called and, after waiting for
some time, he left. He will probably
be called by the defense, when they get
down to their side, if they introduce any
testimony.

SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO, ay 20. - The
Highland people are gravely discussing
the .propriety of. changing the name or
the district which is now known by tnat
title The reasons urged are twoIoid.
One Is the fact that q new name might
be adopted which would be given both to
the settlement and the postoffice, and
thus put an end to the everlasting con-
fusion in mail matters.
But the more important reason urged
is that the orange-grOwers OF that raw
ored locality want distinctive name
for it. AS it is now, any place in the
state may ship Highland" fruit. and
the results may be to give the growers
there a reputation which they do not
merit. The Citrus Belt has taken the
question up, and says sentiment in gen.
eral favors the change.
A marriage license has been issued Tor
Jasper S. Morton of Compton. and MISS
Regina Lizzie Rohrer of Cotton.
