SENT HER HOME
A Slick Confidence Game on Trust
ing Woman

ing Woman
SAN BERNARDINO, May7-A party
of three (two men and one woman) came
to this city from Flagstaff, Ariz.. several
days since and registered at the hotel
and then started out to take in thegtown
The men were in the employ of the Santa
Fe, on vacation, and the woman evil
IDENTIFY came along to assist them In hav-
ing good time. The woman gave the
name Of Marie Ripper, and the names
given by the two men would probably not
be recognized on the Santa Fe payroll
The trio ran up against games Of various
kinds and seemed to enjoy themselves
until the time for departure back to Flag
staff, when they went to the depot to take
the overland. Here it became evident the
men wished to continue their sightseeing
little longer, for one of them took the
purse of the woman to purchase her tick
ct, returning 1t with the document and
also asked her to take charge of the
trunk checks for him. She was little
surprised at this, for he had carried them
on the way here, but he made plausible
excuse, put her aboard the car, saying he
wanted to speak to friend but would
step on as the car started. Not seeing
him on the arrival of the train at Bar
stow, she made a search and found that
neither of the men were on the train,
and also made the discovery that 5000 she
had had in her purse was missing. She
took the next train back here and sought
the police, but in vain, as the men had
evidently gone on to Los Angeles to finish
up their sightseeing, doing it on her
money.

The Present. Outlook for the Crop at

RIVERSIDE, May I. - Some weeks
ago, when the heavy frost visited this
section, 1t was given out that the straw
berry crop had been about totally de-
stroyed and that the fruit would be very
scarce and high in price this season. This
prediction Is not fulfilled, however, for
the local markets are we'll supplied with
Strawberries, and, what is more, the
prices asked for them are not any higher
now than at fhe same time last year.
The fruit now coming to this market is
raised largely at Moreno, and It is Of good
color. size and flavor, and local dealers
say that there will be plenty Of berries
to serve all demands
Apricots will, however, be scarce, and.
the chances are, high in price The earlier
variety of the fruit was killed, but the
late crop will be about half crop. AS
yet none of the fruit has reached the
market, although it is expected in short
time, If the weather remains warm.
