TWO GOOD CAPTURES
7exlcans Wan:e1 for Highway Robbery and
Assault With a Knife

Assault With knife
Francisco Ballestero now languishes
in the city Jail with charge of robbery
against his name, being accused of being
one of the two men who on the night of
July % held up and relieved of his val
uables ex-Policeman D. Todd on Macy
street, near Alameda. A description of
his assailants was furnished at the time
by Todd, who said they We're Mexicans.
Officer Talamantes was detailed on the
case, and instituted a still hunt for the
guilty parties.
On the night of August Sd he ran across
Ballestero in Sonoratown, and. notic-
ing stick pin in his coat lapel which
answered to the description of the one
lost by Todd, took his man to the police
station, where he was searched. The
pin proved to be part of the stolen prop
erty and Ballestero was locked up to
await the capture of his partner. Tala-
NANTES also found where a gold ring
which was among the plumber had been
pawned, but was unable to locate the
second culprit.
Acting upon information that the man
he wanted was in Riverside county, Tai
amantes went there to look for him.
He came back yesterday morning with
prisoner, but not the one he was look
ing for. His captive was Antonio Ra-
mos, also Mexican, wanted here for
cutting an Italian named Frank Aloi, in
fight on the night of July 26th last.
1t was known that Ramos had fled to
Riverside or Chino. and so the officer
was on the lookout for him. While driv-
ing along the road between South River
side and Chino Thursday evening Tala-
NANTES saw his man and gave chase,
capturing him after a long hard run.
Ramos did not attempt to deny his iden-
tity or crime, and made no objection to
coming back with his captor He was
accordingly landed behind the bars at
o'clock yesterday morning. In Ine after
noon he was arraigned in the police
court and date for his examination will
be set today.

AN INSANE MANS FREAK
Wanted Check Cashed and Tore Up Things
When confined in JAIL H.

Officer Bill Leverich early yesterday
morning arrested c. d. Lindenberger on
Spring street and locked him up in the
city jail on a charge of insanity. Lin
denberger went up in front of one of the
bank buildings on Spring street and at
tempted to open the iron gate which
bars entrance to the main doorway by
means of a bunch of keys and otherwise
acted in a peculiar manner.
When approached and asked what he
was doing he replied that he had check
and was going in to have it cashed. His
actions plainly indicated an unsound
mind, so he was taken in for safe keep
ing. On his person when searched was
found evidence that he has a brother,
V. Lindenberger, now an inmate Of
Highland asylum. After he was put in
a cell Lindenberger became violent and
tore the water closet from it's position
in the corner. ripping the pipes from the
wall and in general creating havoc. He
was later on transferred to the county
Jail where he was put in the padded
cell to await examination by a lunacy

Need OF Agricultural Schools for California
1t has been shown in these columns
thu. our agricultural college has proved
a failure under its present management
1t has not filled the want for practical
agriculturists that have been and are a
necessity in this state. What California
needs more than anything else Is a
school of Agricultural practical insti-
tuition. We never see the hundreds of
idling men and boys on the street COR
ners in our large cities without think
ing of our useless agricultural college.
The most of these men and boys are
bright, quick and willing enough to
learn, and what is more they want to
learn and would make good ranchers if
they once could be taught the practical
side and beauties of an agricultural life
as compared with the life of idleness.
cigarette smoking. beer drinking and
gin mill music of the lowest order, which
constitutes large part of their worth
less lives in our great cities. We need
agricultural schools of training-practi-
cal institutions for Just this motley
crowd-not to make professional men of
them. doctors and lawyers. editors and
lecturers, but practical men that will
take a practical interest on the ranch
and build up the country with homes
for themselves and families We GER
tainly have broad acres here that could
be made productive. We certainly have
the crowds of idle men and youths in our
great cities. 1t is a pity that these ele-
ments cannot be brought together so
that the acres as well as the boys may
be made productive.

way to get rid of ground squirrels is to

STRUCK BY A TRAIN
A Delivery Wagon Demolished and the Driver
Thrown Out

Shortly before o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon f. l.. Warde, driver of a deliv-
cry wagon, met with an accident on
San Fernando street, in which he mar
rowly escaped death. He was crossing
the Southern Pacific tracks and was
watching a train going in one direction,
failing to see another which was ap-
preaching.
The locomotive STUCK the reDr wheels
of his wagon, demolishing the vehicle
and throwing Warde heavily to the
ground. 1t was owing to the fact that
the train which hit him was not going
at a high rate of speed that he escaped
alive. He was conveyed to the receiving
hospital, where DR.. Bryant attended
him. finding him badly bruised about the
left hip, but no bones broken nor inter-
nal injuries Later Warde was released
and sent home.

claimed-and facts ar eadduced in sup
port of the claim-that the agricultural
work of the university is more theoreti-
cal than practical, and that the actual
needs of horticulturists for information
that would be of assistance to them in
their work receives little attention.
This condition of affairs has led to a
suggestion that Southern California
should have some kind of agricultural
experiment station of its own. 1t has
been suggested that the scope of one of
the Southern California colleges might
be enlarged so as to give sufficient prom
inence to the agricultural work. The
Claremont college near Pomona, is at
present doing something in that direc-
ton, but there should be salaried Off
cial paid by the southern counties, who
is competent and ready al all times to
answer questions of practical interest
that may be put to him by farmers of
this section.
1t is believed that an amount sufii-
cient to pay the expenses of such an es-
adjustment, which would be light,
could be raised without much difficulty
by private Subscription.-The Times.
Hybrid WaInu.s
The use of both the California walnut
(Juglans Californica) and the Eastern
black walnut (Juglans nigra) as occa-
chards of California, for the purpose of
supplying pollen to fertiliZe the bios
SONS and insure crops, has led to con-
siderable inquiry as to the possible or
probable results to be obtained by cross
ing one species of Juglans with another.
The Vilmorin walnut, supposed to
have originated near Paris early in the
present century, gives evidence of being
a hybrid between Juglans regia and
Juglans nigra. Felix Gillet who grew
the specimen from which the illustra-
ton was prepared, says of it, II keep
it simply as a curiosity. The nut has
the shape of a European walnut, but
the hard and rugged shell of the Eastern
black walnut j do not see any direct
benefit derived from the crossing of the
two species, for it certainly does not i'm
prove the European walnut and i'm
proves the black walnut but very little.

The State University and Agriculture

Several weeks ago the Times referred
to a movement that had been suggested
by one of the regents of the State uni
versity, to place that institution more
in direct communication with the farm
crs of the state. 1t was proposed to hold
series of meetings in various parts of
the state during the year, so as to bring
out the opinions of farmers in regard to
matters relating to their interest. BY
vote of to 4, the board of regents
agreed that fifty such meetings should
be held throughout the state. A. j.
Cook of Pomona college has been work
ing very hard to make these proposed
gatherings in Southern California sue
CesSful.
1t cannot be denied that much dis
satisfaction exists among California
farmers in regard to the agricultural
work of the State university under Prof.
Hilgard. nor can it be denied that there
seems to be a considerable basis of rea-
son for this dissatisfaction. 1t is

This oil was sent east and handled by
one of the leading wholesale liquor es-
Establishments, which has stores in New
York, Boston and Chicago. 1t was
found impossible to dispose of the oil at
the price asked, the chief reason given
being that people would not pay the
price. The oil was therefore shipped
back to Los Angeles.
1t will be slow work to increase the
consumption of California oil as long
as the price remains at the present ng-
ure, there being such great diner
ence between that price and the rate at
aduterated oils are sold for. At the
same time, California oil men declare
that it is impossible to make oil in this
state under present conditions and sell
it with a fair profit for the grower so as
to retail at less than 81 a bottle. Mean
time the demand for picked olives IS
constantly growing, and promises to
keep the olive-growers Of the state busy
