Talk Derided


SAN BERNARDINO. Jan .7.-Super-
visor West left for his home at the Nee
dies today but will return on Sunday
for Mondays session Of the board, at
which meetings the rest CT the appoint
ments will be made.
Every day tramps come into the city
Of San Bernardino by the dozens, and
the city is overrun with the and the
house wives terroriZed The tramps
go about in groups of three and four and
take in every house along the line. In
many cases they are very impertinent
and refuse to go without the meal is
given them. One went to the residence
of Mrs. NJ. a. Pace and asked for meal,
which was refused. He then seated
himself and said Il will stay here until
] get it." Heretofore they have con-
fined themselves to the city, but now
they are trespassing into the farming
lands, and being treated now and then
to loads of bird shot. Citizens are be-
coming indignant and a move may be
taken to run them out.
Rose Stillman was given a benefit
last night at the opera house, which
netted her a neat amount. Miss Still
man will probably remain in San Bernar-
dino and give performancesp at the out
side towns.
County division talk is all rubbish
and is scoffed at by those who know
anything about the matter. They claim
that Constable Asa Green was just Civ
ing the hungry reporter some chaff. If
county division does spring up it will
more likely be the eastern portion than
the desert portion. The desert has al
ways been loyal to San Bernardino and
opposed to division.
George T. Holcomb is up from Chino.
Herman Marks has gone to San Quen-
tin with q prisoner.
Walter Byrne returned to Stanford

The case Of Mcdonald VS.. Mcdonald
for the guardianship of little Flora Nc
Donald, was decided by Judge Camp
bell this afternoon. The decision Of the
court was that Mrs. Bedgood remain
guardian of the child until either the
father or mother can furnish q suitable
home and that the child be kept at the
Sisters school. T. B. Pierson, attorney
for Mrs. Mcdonald. asked the court to
put in the order that the child could
visit the mother, as keeping her at the
convent was too much like a prison.
The court strongly objected to the move,
stating that the convent was the proper
place.

Coombs, A. K. Jensen, P. Pearce and
Harry Long.
The Installation ceremonies were per-
formed In a most interesting and i'm
pressive manner, and the worthy d. d.
G. M won the admiration of all. Just
as the lOdge was about TO close sounds
were heard out in the ante rooms and an
investigation proved that about twenty
five Daughters of Rebekah were with
out, seeking admission. They were kept
only few moments in waiting, as they
each carried parcel of ediples and del
icacies. A cordial welcome was given
them, and as they entered the lodge
room the loyal Odd Fellows faces were
mingled with surprise and pleasure. II
was complete surprise. and the boys
all admitted they were captives. 1t
only took about fifteen minutes for the
long table that accommodates fifty per-
sons to be arranged in the center of the
room and spread. The table was loaded
down with the choicest of viands, and
soon two-score of the brothers were
comfortably seated in their respective
places at the table. the ladies keeping
themselves busy waiting upon them No
doubt the appetites OF the boys proved
as genuine surprise to the sisters as
did the surprise appear to the brothers.
The smallest brother took the palm for
appetite. The ladies then had their turn
at the table, and the boys did the honors
as walters. After supper the hall was
cleared for dancing, the canvas was
spread and excellent music was fur
nished by Brothers r. NJ. Baker, Anton
Karlef, Jensen and p. Pearce, and dane
ing was merrily indulged in until late
hour. The noble grand, ]. w. Buckley,
in short but well selected speech,
thanked the sisters in behalf of the Ode
Fellows for the courtesies extended, es-
pecially showing the good fraternal feel
ing existing between the two lodges. The
hall was appropriately decorated, and
one of the many fine cakes that was
placed on the table deserves a little spe-
cial mention, as the three links and the
letters Il. o. o. F. were beautifully
decorated on the top of it. We all
thought it a pity to cut it, but 1t was
sacrificed by the boys awful appetite.
On the whole it was an occasion long to
be remembered by those who were so for
tunate as to attend.
