RIVERSIDE RECORD
Republican Heartburnings-orange
Crop-The New Electric Line


RIVERSIDE, Aug. SAIL is not har-
mony in the Republican ranks since many
of the candidates for office have discovered
that the machine has decided to parcel out
the offices throughout the county SO as to
keen the offices of treasurer, clerk and as
sessor in the city. The bankers want the
treasurer's office, the politicians want the
clerks office and the big property owners
want the assessor chosen from the city.
The gang IS willing to let the sheriH 5
and other offices go TO the OUTSIDE. Inc
Is that the friends OF the city
candidates for sheriff and district attorney
ore not pleased with the way the machine
:. doing politics, and the chances are that

,,hoIa Mot Is uncovered on convention day.
~ I. atated that the machine has decided to
ror,,rate Coburn of Corona for the office
~ sheriff and the other side is hoping that
tho rumor Is true, for they think Coburn
an easy mark to beat. Another canaldats
for the office OF district attorney mas come
to the front in the person of A. A. Adalr'
who thinks the Republicans should give
him the office. He makes four candidates
for the Republican nomination and the
fight for the place will be not one AS
there are no outside candidates FOR the
office II is said the machine has decided to
keep hands off the fight.
There has been a decided moderation In
the weather the past few days and 1t is cool
here now for this season Of the year. The
orange growers were somewhat alarmed
over the weather of the early part of last
week and the week before for 1t was too hot
for the young crop. The fruit needs warn,
weather TO develop It, but the thermometer
at no Is trife too warm. The latest re-
ports from the groves are that the coming
crop will fall short of last years and that
most Of the trees have not much more than
q two-thirds crop. This, however, will
mean a better size and quality Of fruit II
not 80 much in quantity. The falling off is
attributed to the late frosts of last spring
which came Just as the trees were in the
heaviest bloom. Young orchards on high
ground are showing up best ana In many

POCKET KNIFE USED
TO SETTLE A PARTNERSHIP DIS
PUTE AT SAN PEDRO
A Boom in Building-Mrs. Blacks
Faith in the Future-Ship-
ping News

SAN PEDRO, August 8-Rob Hanson
and Harry Russell, two BARRIERS In part
nership together, doing business on Sixth
street between Front and Beacon streets,
got into an alteration this morning over
business matters and finished with blows
Hanson, who from all accounts struck the
first blow, was cut in six places by his
partner with a small pocket knife, which
he welded with all the effect In his power.
Hanson was stabbed once IN the arm, once
in the neck right over the jugular vein-a
close shave-twce in the temple, once
over the eye and once back of the head.
DR.. Weldon, who attended the injured
man, says that none of the cuts are seri-
Gus, fortunately for Hanson the knife in
use being too small for effective work in
that part of the anatomy. The ARRAY was
the elimination of a quarrel which has ex-
tended over long time, much bitterness
OF feeling having been engendered be-
tween the two men over business affairs.
No arrests had been made up to the time
of writing and 1t Is not likely there will be,
as strong effort is being made to hush the
matter up.
