they traded animals with Higuera in

they trade back, and they refusing to
do so. caused him to bring charges
against them, is probably the true
statement. So Judge Freeman thought,
and dismissed the defendants.

SAN BERNARDINO
Charges Of crookedness In Race Management.
Union Nominations

SAN BERNARDINO, March 3.-From
all indications it looks as though Harry
Allen did not have a square deal in the
races of last Friday at Coles race track.
When the meet was over Allen saw that
he did not have sufficient money to meet
his obligations. so he got into a buggy
and drove TO South Riverside in hopes
of receiving the balance of money there,
and not being able to do he took the
train FOR Los Angeles, hoping to return
here on the g. So train and meet the men
who won. Seeing that he could not pay
the entire winnings, he did not want
to face the men with only portion OF
the money. Before he was arrested in
Los Angeles he telegraphed to his wife
that he would return home in the after
noon, but being arrested he could not
very well do SO. Mr.. Allen says that
they cannot run him out of town and
that he will stay here with the race
business and give good meets despite
the treatment he has received. He also
says that some one will have to pay
for his imprisonment. as the charge
against him was dismissed immediately
on his return to San Bernardino.
