Somebody Evidently Worked the Supervis-
ors-Notes Of the Day
SAN BERNARDINo, March 3O.-The board
OF supervisors seem to have been buEcoed
ont of $40, and the relief which was sent
to Edward Lawrence in Swarthout canyon,
just after the big storm of three weeks ago,
seems to have been a case Of misplaced
confidence. At any rate, communication
has just been received from him in which
he denies that he needed or received any
assistance. and there are several features

of the board of supervisors held early in
the month, man giving the name OF G. s.

provisions for himself and his beasts. His
case was one for immediate action, and
the board forthwith instructed Guffy to
take provisions, secure such assistance as
was necessary, and hasten to Lawrence's

from Lawrence thanking the board. Guffy
put in a bill for $40, which was paid
The letter received today is from q man
indignant at being thought in need and
denies that he received any help. All of
which at once suggests the question as to
what became of the $40. and who wrote
the letter to the board of supervisors Ok.
pressing Lawrence's appreciation of the
effort to send him relief
