WHAT ARE THEY FORp
Mountain Patrols Which Are Having
Very Easy Time

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. H.-About
the easiest job under the government at
preser. appears to be the mountains patrol
to Judge from the work done on the San
Bernardno range. They claim they have
no other duty than TO lie on the grass and If
they see a mountain fire to go and report
it, AS 10 looking after the depredations OF
sheep and cattle men, they refuse to inter-
fere, unless they are hired to pilot the
bands out of the forbidden territory, AMI
then they are not in any great hurry to
, complete the job. The discovery of band
of 1000 sheep on the lands of the Arrow'he az
reservation and their subsequent corraling
brought the owner from Ell Toro, and yes
te,rday the sheep were released on his
putting up security for damages, which
Col. Wood of the company claimed amount
ed to 1924. 1t is evident the late change In
managemery. Of the reservation business
was no Improvement on the former plan.
The case of Peter Keqi against e. SOM
ers for 1884 for work on the San Gabriel
tunnel has been transferred from the Los
Angeles court to the court here. Somers
was a stakeholder in the Electric Powt 7
company and when KeM got Judgment
against the company for $31e9.76 Somers
sold out his stock and refused to pay his
share.
The attempt to send Jesse and Frank
Fugatt 10 Whittier from Chino has failed,

Watson Lyman of Los Angeles. aged %,
and Jessie Metcalfe Of Riverside, aged q.
Also one to william Stancer, jr.. aged 20,

this city.
The will Of Ambrose c. Events, who died
September5 1898. has been filed for probate.
The estate Is worth $500. The heirs and
executors of the will are his three children,
Alice Bersen, Alvin B. Everts and Eliza
Ellen Ketchum.
The fight between Perdew and Lakin
Is over SO far as the charges of assault
with a deadly weapon are concerned. Both
cases were dismissed and now the question
arises whether the city cannot collect dam
ages from Lakin ON account of his dam,
which still runs across the creek, mot only
taking out water for his little mill but
turning it back into the stream again.
The Republicans will open the campaign
next Saturday with F. r. Davis Of Los
Angeles as the attraction. and the other
side will take the following Saturday nigh,
for their opening, having Mcguire himself
as the drawing card. 1t does not need tins
gift of prophecy to announce the compare
tive success of the two.
