SAN BERNARDINO
Objection Made to the Employment Of
Chinese-Mining Matters

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. pa
short time ago packers had some trouble
in Riverside by employing Chinamen in
their packing houses and having them
run out This promises to be repeated
in this county Allen Bros. & Co., who
have packing house at Drew Station,
employ six Cinnamon to pack their or
anges at that point. The white people
| in that section are becoming tired Of
| it, as they had the same doings last
season. Said a resident of the Mission
| district, some night we will politely move
| those Cinnamon out and then If they
| come back. why we'll have little gun
| play. We do not care II white boys from
the outside are at work. but we will not
stand the Cinnamon. Last winter Allen
promised white girls work after the hoi-
idays, but did not do 1t until about the
close, when the Cinnamon left. The resi-
dents are worked up over it in that place,
and it would be no surprise to hear of the
Chinese making a move and in double
quick time at that. Drew Station is sit
uated about seven miles from this city,
towards Redlands
James Murray of the NJ and o. sa-
| loon, has put an oak floor in his bar
room.
E. NJ. Hart is making some improve
ments in his news depot on the corner of
Third and E streets.
E. Thompson, an old prospector and
resident of Cotton, is surely lucky man.
as today he is worth S125, 600, the receipts
of a mine sale. which sale was consul
mated last week. On Friday he walked
into the First National bank of Cotton
and deposited $14, 900, after which ne
went down to San Juan Capistrano and
bought a ranch for $25.0OO cash, and to
an old friend he gave $1,000 The mine
| that has made Thompson rich is situ-
| ated about 60 miles below Needles, on the
Arizona side of the Colorado, and in the
| Chemehuevis mountains. This mine
| he discovered last fall while running
| about over the country. Shortly after
| the discovery, some Los Angeles men
got scent Of the find and brought Thomp-
| son to Los Angeles to make deal. While
| he was in Los Angeles on $4,000 offer,
| the men sent out an expert to see what
| the mine really was, but after the in
vestigation they could not raise the
| amount and so Thompson reaped the
| benefit by getting five times as much
| This last deal was made through San
| Francisco brokers.
| George Dewitt has got himself into
| trouble, as has Jno. Heinrich, the man
| ager of the Weiss winery, located east
of this city. They are accused of selling
| liquor to Indians and on Monday a local
constable arrested Dewitt in the act of
| giving an Indian jug of wine Dewitt
at once confessed and implicated Jno
Heinrich, the manager of the institution,
the latter saying to Dewitt. '"rhere's
an Indian, give him a jug of wine" Com
| plants have been made about the winery
for some time, and once before the man
Heinrich was arrested, but escaped by
paying 800 fine. The two culprits are
now out on $500 bonds.
George II. H. A. Geisler and Miss Maud
Loomis, both of Los Angeles, were mar
ried in this city Saturday night by JUS
tice Knox.
Emil Wendelborn surprised friends
| and relatives on Sunday, by marrying
| Mrs. Genevieve Hemler, the widow of
the late Will Hemler a baseball player
we'll known in this city and the east.
| The marriage took place at Santa Ana,
and was so well planned that even the
groom's mother, brother and sisters did
not know of it.
One thing has been clearly demon
strated in this city. and that Is that con-
fidence will not operate a street car
line, as after January 1st street car
lines will not operate in this city, un-
less radical change takes place.
On Saturday, January 2, 1897 the DEM
ocratic county central committee will
meet in this city for the purpose of clos
ing up the recent campaign affairs.
