SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 9-(Regu-
lar Correspondence In the trial of
Louis Ortega for the murder of Arasta-
clio at Chino last October, the defense
placed no witnesses on the stand ana
the only evidence offered on that side
was a few lines from the testimony of
the prosecution at the preliminary hear
ing in order to weaken the testimony of
the witnesses at the trial. The argu-
ments were short and at p. m. the jury
went out, returning at with verdict
of murder in the second degree. Sem
tence will be pronounced Saturday. 1t
was a cold -blooded murder, but as all
hands We're drunk at the time the
jury, taking that into consideration,
made it second degree.
Hobos are being run in by the dozen
only to be fed for day and turned loose
again to prey on the community. 1t is
customary with the city recorder when
hobo pleads guilty to sentence him to
two or three days in Jail, but when they
plead not guilty to turn them loose
again. taking their word for 1t, on the
grounds that they know better than the
police. The police have the whole
handling of the hobos this season, unless
they can coax a constable to help bring
them in The recorder is overworked
and cannot devote much time and atten-
ton to the hobo, especially as there is
no rock pile to dump on, for he Is not
cnly the city recorder, but he Is the city
bill poster, proprietor Of the Athletic
park, manager of the baseball club and
stage manager at the Operahouse, and
has his hands full, especially when the
hobos come in squads. If there is a ball
game on or some other of his multifari-
Gus duties call him he cannot devote the
time to trying cases that he otherwise
would, but he turns in to the city more
fines in cash than any other of his
predecessors, showing that all offenders
that have money have to put up for their
fun.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 9.-(Regulaf
Correspondence.) The Republicans OF
the city held a preliminary meeting last
evening in the movement for nominate
ing q straight municipal ticket for the
spring election. About twenty-five local
politicians were present. and. while
there was a disposition on the majority's-
part to rush the matter and appoint q
central committee. authorized to call o
convention, 1t was decided that the sug-
gestion should be further discussed be-
fore final action. Accordingly mass
meeting will be held next Wednesday
night, which all Republicans are ex-
pected to attend. AS there is some OPP
position arising, the fact that delay
has been secured is believed by many to
mean the death Of the cherished cause.
Many Republicans are strongly against
throwing the city elections into politics,
and II the straight party ticket Is nom-
mated, there will be a non-partisan
slate, and 1t will have the support OF
many Republicans and probably all
Democrats, Silver Republicans ana
Populists. Hence, opposing parties will
be very glad to see straight Republican
ticket in the field.
