ARIZONA HAY

Some of It

some OF IL
POMONA, May 2.-Several Transfers
have Joined forces and made arrangements
to ship in hay from Arizona. They state
that they can land the hay here for S13. 50,
either barley or alfalfa. The present prices
of hay are ruinous to those who have long
time contracts on their hands, and self
preservation demands radical measures.
There Is great rejoicing here over the
American victory at Manila. Intense in
terest is manifested on all Sides and there
is material increase in the crowds around
the bulletins awaiting particulars.
During the mining excitement last fall
several of our leading citizens formed a
company to explore the Yaqui river coun-
try in Mexico, and four men left this city
in the employ of this company, among
them being c. d. Ambrose, who afterward
fatally shot himself while dlsmountng
from his mule. These gentlemen were I'M
able to smoke the pipe of peace with the
Indians and had to transfer operations to
the country around Hermosllo. They had
just secured some very promising pros
poets when the breaking out of hostilities
endangered their personal safety, and they
were told by the American consul to trans
fer their residence to Uncle Sans hospita-

ception of Otis Hidden, who when last

A MYSTERIOUS BURGLARY
Happenings of the Day in Flourishins
Eallbrook

FALLBROOK, May 1.-C. A Branaugh,
a Los Angeles merchant, arrived here yes
terday. He is a recent purchaser of 90
acre olive grove near town, and is now
making some extensive building improve
ments thereon. Mr.. Branaugh is contem-
plating the removal of his store from Los
Angeles to Fallbrook, and is negotiating
with local capitalists for the erection of
building.
The Fallbrook cricketers defeated the
San Luis Rey team last week. The score
was 10 to SO. The game was played at
Oceanside.
The Fallbrook drug store was robbed on
Friday or Saturday morning. Entrance
was effected by cutting out panel in the
back door large enough to reach in and
shoot the bolt. The burglar got about $5'
belonging to Wells, Fargo & Co., the ex-
press company having the manager of the
store as their money order agent, and he
having that amount of money in his pos
session, and also s35 belonging to Mr..
Margedes, the stores manager. AS far as
known the burglar took no goods, and left
no clue to his identity.
The war is the big topic of conversation
and all the flags in town are in sight. Sew
eral have enlisted and many others will, if
there is even a slim chance to go to Cuba.
M. M. Moulton, editor of the Fallbrook
Observer, was the first to enlist, and is now
proud member of Company b at San Di-
ego and is hoping Spain will hold out long
enough to get whack at her.
Mrs. Jonathan Taylor died last Tuesday.
The remains were taken to Sierra Madre

Mrs. Prentiss Falls and child Of Los
Angeles are here visiting relatives.

store, is to be married in Esconddo to-

THE HERALD APPRECIATED
How the News From Manila Was
Received at Riverside

| RIVERSIDE. May 2.-When the news
of the victory of the American fleet at the
| Philippine islands reached this city yes
| terday there was the widest excitement.
| Parties of men headed by drum corps pa
raded the streets and the shouting was vo-
ciferous The fine detailed account of the
fight in The Herald was appreciated and
the supply of papers was not long in find
ing purchasers. Ever since the beginning
of hostilities the reading public Of this
city has been loud in its praise of the most
excellent service furnished by The Her
aid.
Rain fell here almost all day Sunday
and the Indications are good for continu-
alton of the storm, which has come, how
ever, too late to be of any value to the
growing rain crops. The total fall for
Saturday and Sunday was .S6 of an inch.
making the total fall for the season nearly
six inches. The rain will do much to save
irrigation water, as it has filled the ground
with moisture, and the water bills of or
chardists will not be SO heavy this month
as they We're last.
There is a demand for men to work on
the railroads and the companies have an
agent here who is sending men to the front
iona. The men have their way paid to the
front and there is difficulty in securing
all that are wanted, even by the offering
of good wages and other advantageous in
ducements.
Owing to the heavy rain on Sunday the
decoration ceremonies planned by the Odd
Fellows lodge had to be postponed until
Sunday next.
Mayor Kingman has issued a call for q
mass meeting for Wednesday evening for
the purpose of taking steps looking to the
observance of Decoration day. The meet
ing will be held in the city court room.
Supervisor Thompson, whose home is in
the Murrietta valley, is in the city, and
he states that the rain at his place on
Sunday was heavy. Mr.. Thompson adds
that the rain cannot do the grain any good
for it comes too late.
The record of the county jail shows that
twenty-three prisoners were booked there
during the month of April and that fifteen
of this number were just common DRINKS.
Two were locked up on charges of insanity
an done each for disturbing the peace, bat
terry, assault to murder, selling liquor to
Indians, cruelty to animals and disorderly
conduct. 1t cost the county 1872 to feed and
house the prisoners during the same
month. When the bushes of the Jail was
commenced on May LIST there were nine
prisoners In the Jail.
The receipts of the county recorders Of
flee for the month of April were si7940, as
against $3.50 in March and S463.S5 in Feb
ruary. The instruments filed during the
month show a very large percentage of
deeds over mortgages filed and also show
that the releases far outnumber the mort
cages. In fact, the record is very good
showing for the financial situation.
Captain Pam of Company NJ has issued
call for 100 volunteers to recruit new
Company NJ to take the place of the pres
ent company when called away to duty.
He has had many offers of enlistment and
will find no trouble in getting all the men
