San Bernardino Supervisors Send Aid to q
Citizen-Death of Or. Evans.
General Notes

SAN BERNARDINO, March GA man
named Lawrence is penned in Swart-
hout canyon, surrounded by snow five
feet deep, and with very scanty sup
ply of food. The board of supervisors
this morning authorized the sending
out of relief party, and it will be
headed by William Guffy, who brought
i'll the news.
Guffy and Lawrence both live in
Swarthout canyon, the former three
miles nearer the head of the gulch.
Last Tuesday, when the snow had
fallen to depth of three and one-half
feet, he determined to get to the valley
while it was yet possible to escape.
Guty came past Lawrence's place,
the snow being so heavy that it re-
quired four hours for him to 60 three
miles with four horse team. Guffy
urged Lawrence to come with him, but
Lawrence said he would follow on
Wednesday. That night a foot and
one-half more snow fell, making about
five feet in Sw .rthout canyon, and
Lawrence has not yet come out.
When Guilty was there Lawrence had
horse and a COW, but his supply OF
hay was exhausted. He still had sack
of potatoes and one of flour, and was
fee ding the former to his beasts.
Guffy says it is impossible for Law
renee to get out and his supply of food
must be exhausted, and the board Of
supervisors authorized any necessary
expense in rescuing him.

VENTURA SALOON KEEPERS
Don't Like the Prospect Of a Sunday
Closing Law
The Town Board still Struggling With the
Water Rate Observation-Disclosures Of
the q. A. r. Encampment

VENTURA, March "a lively session
! Of the town board 10 promised tonight.
The Law and Order league will come
before the board and ask for Sunday
closing ordinance for the saloons, to
go into effect. April 1st, at which time
the license for selling liquor will be
raised to $500 per annum. The saloon
keepers are much agitated over the ag-
gressive fight the league is making
against them. They have been COM
PEELED to observe the existing laws,
and now an attempt is being
made to take Sunday, their best
business day away from them. 1t is
almost certain the petition of the Sun
day closing advocates will not be acted
upon favorably by the board.
The town board has been also much
exercised over the water rates. After
cutting tn. rates down about $1,000 a
majority now favor making raise, as
the town is threatened with lawsuit
by the water company. The city at
torney has advised the board, however,
that the rates can not now be changed,
the law requiring that they should be
! fixed during February.
A very pleasant birthday party was

iting funds for the G. A. r. encamp-
ment to be held here in July have
raised nearly the entire amount neces-
sary, and have made a written guaran-
tee that the funds will be forthcoming
! That virtually means that Ventura will
get the encampment. A. j. Bell went
down to Los Angeles today to attend a
meeting of the association and will lay
| the matter before them.
