The HOBO CHRISTMAS
THE NoN-cITIzENs TRY TO RUN
THE TOWN
They Make Merry, Rob Some Stores
and Spend Their Holiday
in the Jail

SAN BERNARDINO, Dec. 25-Hobos
seem to have learned that San Bernardino
is an elegant place to come to for good treat
men and solid enjoyment, and the city
swarms with them. They were particularly
strong in numbers last evening, evidently
intending to run the city while the people
were at church, for they hocked in early and
began to hold up every one they thought
could be worked. The police sailed in and in
few minutes had eleven of them behind the
bars, while Others scattered to the outskirts
of the city,. where they could work safely.
AS Policeman Retiring turned from the Jail
utter locking up hobo he saw another
kpeaking through the Jail yard with a bun
die under his arm, running right into the
officer before they saw each other. On be-
ing questioned as to the bundle the hobo was
insolent, and to the question where he got
it answered, go and find out for yourself" a"
A round of the clothing stores showed that
the bundle, containing two coats and two
hats, was taken from the rear door of the
store of A. Horowitz, the thief having to
cross the Jail yard in getting away.
On going to his mothers house Il. Brazel-
ton found his mother and brother Charles
away, and in possession, with his feet upon
the table, was hobo, enjoying himself To
the question as to where the folks were
the hobo, without changing his position,
answered: "Mother and brother Charles
have gone down town to see the Christmas y
This was too much for Ed, and he soon land
ed the hobo in Jail, only to find on returning
home that his mother had left the hobo in
charge till her return, and he was carrying
out his instructions faithfully Ed released
him from the Jail and restored him to his
charge, and as the story leaked out put up
cigars and drinks to all inquiries as to his
new brother.
GOLD GALORE
The arrival of Joseph Ingersoll from Dale
with two large gold bricks is practical kin
dergarten lesson in mining in that section
The bricks were the product of twenty days
work of the two-stamp mill and cyanide
plant attached to the o X mine, of which
1ngersoll & Enslor are owners The value
of the bricks, which assayed over $l7 to the
ounce, was about $2500, showing a good
grade of ore. The output of the Dale mines
for the month was fully $4,000, with pros
poets of doubling that the coming month,
now that the mills are all in running order
and the wells furnish plenty of water. The
great lack has been water, but on expert
menting it is found there is plenty of most
excellent water to be obtained by going
down from sixty to ninety feet What the
Dale people want now is branch road from
the Dale to Palm Springs. The stage route
is about seventy miles.
BREVITIES
The high school boys have been trying to
get up game of football with the Los An
eeles high school team, but in vain. The
last game between the two resulted in a
score of 6 to 0 in favor of the San Bernardino
kickers, and if the Los Angeles boys would
come up here on New Years they would
have lots of fun and draw an immense
crowd. The home team meet the Santa
Ana high school team tomorrow in cham
plonship game, and although the local team
is short two of its best men it expects to
win. The lineup is: Opie L. Warner, man.

Jack Kier, left halfback; Jack Hopkins,
right half-back; r. Baldwin, quarter back; j;
Charles Raitt, captain and full-back.
