DOES NOT LIKE 1T
Pomona Indignant Over the Treatment
Of Her Soldiers

POMONA, May 10.-The rejection of all
the Ufficers of company D, including w. w.
Midgley, who was afterwards made second
lieutenant and then dropped, and the plac-
ing Of men from other places in command
has created quite stir here, and the wires
have been kept hot between this city and
control have been requested to see that
our company IL officered by Pomona men.
Our citizens are very indignant at the idea
of supporting company in times of peace
to be thrown down on the very approach of
active service. The blame is laid to poll
tics and wire-pulling. Many of our citi-
zens wanted to telegraph the boys to re-
sign in body and refuse to be mustered
in, but feared 1t might cast a slur on their
patriotism. Our boys will go to the front,
but some one will have to answer for this
treatment of company D.
The following is the list Of Pomona boys
rejected by the medical board at the Pre-
sidio and now on their way home: Capt
Thomas; Lieuts. Reynolds, Phillips and
Midgley; Dreher brothers, Stevens, O'Con-
nor, Ford, Hamlin, Stewart, Bennett, Wal
lace, Clark, Mooney, Morgan and Hinton
Capt. Thomas appealed to Washington, but
was again rejected.

citizens, asking him. to use his goods of
fees in behalf of company d. The gov
ernor replied saying it was too late, as the

A good deal of excitement was caused last
night between and 10 o'clock by continu-
Gus cannonading in the direction of Glen
dora, our people supposing that important
news of great victory must have reached
our neighbors. This morning 1t was learned
from parties bringing berries to town that
Glendora was celebrating supposed VIC

A Lads Sad Mishap

Ell TORO, May 10-A probably fatal ac-
cident happened five miles south Of here
about II o'clock this morning. Seventeen
year-old Percy Rosenbaum, while driving
a. moving machine, undertook to carry a
shotgun along. The gun slipped from his
grasp and was discharged in falling, with
the result that the load took effect in his
stomach. The boy is still alive and will
probably be moved to Santa Ana today un-
less his condition is too serious to admit
Of it.
Simon Benda, wife and three children,
just arrived from Vienna, Austria, are vis-
iting Nine. Modjeska. Mr. Benda is Mad
ANS brother, and will probably make his
home here.

practically no good, but in the mountains

MILITARY VS.. POLITICAL
War Fever Liable to Prove Too Strong
for Party Ties


SAN BERNARDINO. May 1o.-"Blood
will tell" but when the fever gets into the
blood the latter is liable to lead to some
rash things. Politics, next to religion, is
thought to be the strongest failing of the
human mind, but the war fever just at
present is still stronger. There is a poll
tician here named Maj. J. w. f. Diss, who
has won an enviable reputation as a mill
tary man and is a powerful wheel-horse
in the Republican party of the county. He
is at present the "Poo-bah'' in that branch
of politics and holds the offices of county
clerk, county recorder and county auditor
by very shrewd system of gerrymander
arranged just before the last county cleo
ton of four years ago, before the Demo-
Gratis secured control. For the past six
weeks Maj Diss has been attending to his
duties as inspector of the Seventh regi-
ment and in that time the military spirit
has grown, to such an extent that he wishes
to follow the fortunes of war, but at the
same time hold on to and draw the emol-
uments of the Poo-bah he has on local
politics. To this end he has wired the
members of the board of supervisors ask
ing for a ninety-days' leave of absence
from the state, to be followed by other
similar requests until his term of office
closes. In this he has not been successful,
as the request has been denied, and .he
will hurry home tomorrow and try to ar
range matters SO he can take his departure
with his beloved Seventh the last of the
week. He dislikes to resign, on account of
the aforesaid emoluments and also because
1t gives the Democratic board the oppor-
tunity to replace him with Democrat,
and that means the removal of nine Re-
publican deputies and supplying their
places with nine Democrats for the next
seven months. When they get together
there may be a compromise on popular
Republican and all things work smoothly.

A Salem Merchant Wakes Up to Find
tiis Fence Going Away.
Fred Virgins, was aroused by a
noise this morning about 4 o'clock
aud going to the window saw man
buisly engaged In taking down the
fence along the creek bank Just back

double rig. After quietly tearing
down the fence he drove the horses in
and disappeared among the trees and
brush.
Mr.. Virgins telephoned central for
a policeman but none responded, and
this morning an examination OF the
place was made. The fence had been
pulled down, the posts being pulled
up and the horses driven over sthe
mire. From there the tracks lead be-
tween trees stumps aud along the
creek bank, until they finally emerged
from the bed under the bridge lust
north of the Blind school.
The actions OF the man and the
hour Of the night seemed suspicious,
and what his purpose was Is a mystery.
His identity IL known, but for fear
Of casting unjust suspicion upon his
name will not be mentioned. He
rented the rig last evening early, say
ing he was going to a dance In the
country, but seems to lave not at

buggy was returned about 8 O'Clock
this morning with a badly wrecked
tongue. What is up Is unknown, but
