TOOK UP HIS NOTE

But Not According to the Generally Accepted
Quite a novel and amusing case is on trial
before Justice Morrison. j. Marion Brooks
is the complaining witness, and C. Samu-
elson, a brakeman on the Southern Pacific
railroad, is the defendant. He is charged
with petty larceny.
Some time ago Samuelson decided that
marriage had been a failure with him, and
not lived entirely for him, he alleged, and
while he was out on his train she enjoyed
life with the "boys." The case never
came to trial, hough, for Samuelson al
lowed himself to be pursuaded into amia-
bility by the honeyed words of his wife,an
the complaint was Withdrawn, the two 60
ing to live together.
Sanueison had ven his no for 500 to
Mr.. Brooks Saturday last Mr.. Brooks
and his client met for the purpose of effect
ing settlement. Sanueison offered the
lawyer 50, but this paltry sum was as u red
flag to "a mighty bull. MIR. Brooks waxed
very angry at once, ard finally in his most
imperious manner cast the note at the
head of his visitor. Samuelson picked up
the paper and went away with it in his
possession.
Yesterday Mr.. Brooks swore to COM
plant charging him with petty larceny,
and Detective Steele Tuade the arrest Oh a
warrant. Samuelson put in a number of
character witnesses, including Chief Glass,
showing that he bears au excellent reputa-
ton.
Justice Morrison continued the case un-
til this morning.

Working Boys Home

The regular monthly meeting of the news
and working boys home was held yester-
day morning at the residence of Mrs. E. A.
Forester, 947 West Seventh street. Re-
ports were listened to from the secretary
and treasurer and committees, after which
a general discussion followed. Efforts are
being made by the officers to secure lots
near town upon which to erect a new home,
the present ooe being inadequate to accom-
modate the boys. The ladies have every
reason to hope that their plans will take
definite shape in the near future, as the
funds Of the society are in an excellent
condition. The officers feel greatly en-
couraged in their work and trust soon to
have their untiring efforts rewarded by the
building of comfortable home for their
young protegee.

The Agrarian
Laws

Could do no more than the
Herald in its now famous di-
vision of land amongst the peo-
pie. Any person who is now,
or will become yearly sub
scriber to The Herald, will be
entitled to a LOT in The Herald
subdivision in the town OF
Lancaster. No additional
charge except 500 for notary
fee.
The following letter to the Herald from
the editor of the Lancaster Gazette shows
the character Of the lots the Herald is
giving free to subscribers:
"a good thing-push it along'-the
Herald combination proves to be a good
thing. received two more subscriptions
today from those who want the Gazette,
Herald and the Lancaster lot So hurry
up that new map. The fact that those
living here desire these lots is sufficient
refutation to the jealous charge of some
newspapers that the lots are worthless,
alkali, fake properties. Both lots taken
today are by Lancaster business men and
one of them wishes to improve his lot at
once. Our principal we'll borer was In
my office yesterday. He has put down IL
artesian wells in the last month. He au-
thorized me to put an advertisement in
my paper that he would secure artesian
flows on the Herald addition to Lancas-
ter at one-half the usual price. He knows
as we all do that the water supply for
both surface water and artesian water Is
abundant and easily gotten. A man Of
fered to dig we'll on one of these lots
for IS and take the subscription to the Ga.
Zette as part pay.
More alfalfa will be put in this season
than was in the valley altogether before.
There also will be hundred; of acres set
to fruit trees in tie valley this year. Tho
72oo acres of growing fruit trees are so
healthy and thrifty as to give the greatest
encouragement for future planting. ln
another week the work will be begun at
Palmdale according to a contract signed
last week, by which the flood waters OF
Little Rock creek will be stored. Tho
Coles will push the work and expend
$4,000 in the system which will bring
several thousand more acres under culti-
walton in that section.
Altogether the future for Antelope Val
ley looks very promising. Yours respect
fully, w. S. MELICK,
