THE COLE TOURNAMENT
The Country Club Preparing for Two
DaYs, Good Sport

The Los Angeles Country club is prepar-
ing for the first event of Importance in its
history, two days, golf tournament, which
is to take place next Saturday and Monday.
The first days sport will be devoted to club
events, thirty-six hole handicap and driv-
ing contest for men and an eighteen hole
handicap for women. On Monday the events
will be open to all golfers and the principal
competition, thirty-six holes, will practically
decide the championship of Southern Cali
fornia.
Some misapprehension may have been
caused by an unauthorized announcement in
an evening paper that "the general public
is invited to witness the sport" Admission
to the grounds will only be by invitation,
and the mistake has probably arisen from
the fact that besides considerable number
of visiting golfers the club members will en-
tertain their friends. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to look after anything like large crowd
on the links, either to protect them from
erratic golf balls or to enable the players to
make satisfactory progress.
The fact that the Riverside Polo club has
a meeting next Monday will probably pre-
vent some of the crack golfers from that
neighborhood entering the Country club 5
open event, but among the likely men from
outside who will compete are R. F. Orr of
Pasadena, w H. Young of Duarte, A. F.
Wood of Denver, Colo, and E. Manning of
Highland Park. Among the men who are
the picked players of the Country club are
Walter Cosby, who carried off the honors at
the last tournament; j. F. Sartori, Joe
Cook, E. Conde Jones and the Tufts broth
ers

GOT THE KITTY
Mrs. Weaver Jackson and Her "Good
Thing"

Only the fortunate persons who have
possessed the article can appreciate
the real value of kitty Mrs. Wea-
yer jackson, who conducts the tonsorial
and beauty establishment at 800
South Spring street, is such an individual,
and she had recourse to the law yesterday
to obtain possession of lost tabby.
Mrs jackson owned two Maltese kittens,
which were valued beyond measure as pets
and worth S25 apiece in the open market
peared. The CONSERVATION about Mrs.
Jackson's establishment was great. The
proprietors felt sure the cat had not left of
its own free will. 1t was not vagabond, but
on the contrary, had been reared in the very
best feline society, so there could have been
no possibility of sudden desire to daily
with questionable cats who frequent back
yards after dark. The cat must have been
stolen. Detective Henderson was employed.
The officer passed many nights climbing
over backyard fences to carefully scrutinize
the seating of cats. His efforts were at last
rewarded by locating the missing animal in
the possession of a woman in the Somis
block. Mrs. jackson paid the woman a
visit, but the latter had become attached
to the formers cat, and refused to surren-
der.
Mrs. jackson swore to a search warrant
in Police Judge Morrison's court. Officer
Henderson served the document and soon
returned with the stolen tabby. Mrs. Jack
son was in court yesterday to convince the
court that the pussy belonged to her. She
even introduced another Maltese kitten,
hoping to establish her ownership of the first
cat by its family resemblance to exhibitA.
As the woman in the lodging house did not
contest the case, and Mrs. Jackson's earnest
manner carried conviction with it, she was
awarded the possession Of the recovered
tabby.

TIE SAN JACINTO FIRE
BELIEVED TO BE THE WORK OF
INCENDIARIEs
Riverside County Roads in Need of
Repair Are Receiving Attention.
Miners at Work

RIVERSIDE, Dec. 2S.-News from San
Jacinto is to the effect that the fire there
yesterday morning was far more destructive
than at first reported. Several stores were
gutted and several buildings all but de
stroyed. The belief that the fire was OF
incendiary origin is growing, and a San
Jacinto party who was here today states
that everything in connection with the fire
leads to that conclusion.
The Temescal Water company, which sup
plies Corona with water, is hard at work de-
veloping an additional supply. The COM
pany is running series of tunnels in the
Temescal canyou, and the prospects for a
considerable increase in the amount OF wa
ter at the command of the company are
good. At the end of one tunnel, which has
been put in a distance of l45 feet a vein OF
twenty inches of water was struck. The
company is also sinking more wells in the
artisan belt farther up the canyon. Two
twelve-inch wells are being put down and are
now down a depth of l6o feet, and two fine
veins of water have been cut.
Roads in different portions of the county
are getting quite badly cut up and the super
visors are doing considerable work on the
worst parts One of the sections undergoing
extensive repairs is the long, fine grade be-
tween this city and Moreno. This grade was
constructed at cost of $4,000 some years
ago, and since its opening has not been ex-
pensive in the matter of repairs; but now it
is in bad shape and very complete job of
overhauling is being done.
Mrs. L. NJ. Bean, deputy state commander
of the Ladies of the Maccabees, is here on an
official visit to the local hive.
Miners and prospectors in the adjacent
mining districts, especially in the Perrs and
Pinacate districts, have been very careful to
do the necessary amount of labor on their
mines to hold them, since the recent rich dis
coveries in the Gavilan and other mines out
that way. A. Morrison, owner of several
mines in the Pinacate district, recorded
proof papers today, showing that he has
performed the requisite 500 worth OF work
on each OF the mines.
The Y. NJ. c. A. of this city has strong
lawn tennis club, which will hold a meeting
tomorrow for the purpose of arranging the

tain amount of water and tails to 90 SO can
fall back on providence to clear ITSELF 1t Is
the case of j. w. Mabb VS.. the San Antonio

she has an orange orchard, home, flower
beds etc. on lot 405 of the Ontario colony
lands. and is entitled to a flow OF twelve
bours per month of stream of water tor
irrigating purposes and domestic supply
for the flower beds and domestic use, but
that the supply has been cut oil and her or
apge trees are dead, her flower beds have all
dried up and gone back to desert state
again. and she has to beg water OF the sur
rounding neghbors for her teakettle. For
all this she sues for $52l5 as damages, be-
sides costs and damage to her feelings in
having to beg for what is her righttul due.
As all the orange orchards in this section
are in pretty much the same fix the outcome
will be watched with eager interest, and II
the company is mulcted in damages it will
shift the blame for the dry season from
providence to the water companies.
