ON THE MARSHES

The recent sharp north wind has great
ly increased the flight of wild ducks
from the bays and ponds of the north to
the lagoons and marshes in this part of
the state. The genral flight of the water
fowl southwark has been later this
year than for several seasons, because
there have been no general rains in this
part of the state. The cold wave in the
north, of which this section has had but
a slight nip, has done as well as a rain
would have done, for now there are
plenty of ducks, and the local sportsmen
have not been slow to take advantage Of
the conditions. With a continuation Of
the cold weather, there will be little
shooting left for the sportsmen in the
north, as all of the water fowl will have
sought the more pleasant weather that
always prevails in this part of the state.
Quail hunting is said to be good in the

cure the birds.

last week of the crime of manslaughter
for the killing of s. j. Darrah at Snow

that one Of the Jurors, George II. Dole,

REDLANDs

REDLANDS, Dec. 19.-(Regular Cor
respondence.) There was heavy rain
at Redlands yesterday, which cleared
in the afternoon, leaving much snow on
the adjoining mountains. There was a
heavy frost during the night, and ice
formed in exposed places. Orange grow
ers were alarmed for their orchards, but
it does not appear today that any dam
age was done. The lowest temperature
reported was twenty-five degrees, and
this was In very exposed location. A
thermometer in the business center
registered 20. The temperature was d
trifie higher at Grafton than at Redlands.
The fact that the ground was soaked by
the rain was an important factor in pre-
venting injury to the fruit.
DR.. William Craig, who has been se-
riously i'll during the week. is reported
much better today. He was taken with
a stroke Of paralysis Tuesday night, and
his condition has been serious since then
until today. DR.. Craig was one of the
earliest settlers in this portion of the San
Bernardino valley. and is nearly eighty
years of age.
George H. Crafts and wife, formerly
residents Of Redlands, now of Bakers
field, are in town for few days.

luton: Resolved, that all packers and
