TEMPLE LOSES AN ARM
HE rs SAID TO BE THE MAN WHO
KILLED RAMoNA's HUSBAND
Riverside County Bee Keepers Will
Have to Feed Their Swarms-A
Peculiar Death

RIVERSIDE, Aug. $50 far no arres Is
have been made in connection with the
shooting of Sam Temple at San Jacinto
last Saturday night. and the chances are
none will be made. as Temple was cons1d-
cred to be the aggressor and got about
what he deserved. Temple has been taken
to the county hospital, and a report reach
ing here today is TO the effect that 1t was
found necessary TO amputate his snat-
tered arm, Temple is one OF the men OF
this part OF the country with history
He, 1t Ia said. was responsible for the
death OF the old Indian, Alessandro, the
hero OF Helen Hunt Jacksors novel. IRA
mona" Temple has always been regarded
as a man who would shoot, and this last
escapade OF his proves the belief to have
been well founded
Bee keepers OF this county state that they
viii have to feed their bees throughout the
balance of the summer and through the
fall to keep them from dying. as there was
no feed for the busy insects this spring or
summer. The honey crop hereabouts
amounted to nothing at all this season,
where In ordinary seasons several carloads
are harvested.
The electric power furnished this city by
the Redlands company has been shut on
for the past twenty-four hours and it is
not known when 1t will be turned on again.
The absence OF the power will cause BUTCH
ers who run storage plants considerable
loss in case OF q continuance OF the shut
off.
Coroner Sherman received a dispatch
from Temecula late last evening notifying
him Of the sudden death OF man about
eight miles from Warmers ranch. The de-
tails were very meager, as contained in the
message, but it seems that while the stage
was travelling along the stranger stopped
TIL. stage and got out. A moment later he
fell dead by the side Of the coach. No one
III that part Of the country knew the man
or where he came from. Coroner Sherman
went to Temecula today to hold the neces-
sary Inquest.
The local Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals caused the first arrest
ever called for by the society yesterday.
The party arrested was A. Wimperis.
merchant here. who is charged with starry
ing his horses. The accused, pleaded guilty
and the court assessed fine OF $40. which

AS yet the Identity of the young man who
Indio a week ago has not been established.
although 1t is thought that he formerly
resided in Phoenix. where he held a posi-
ton in the recorders office. Confirma ton
of this theory is expected at any time now.
as a photo OF the dead man has been sent
| to the county recorder there for idertifica-
| ton.
| 1t is pretty we'll understood that the Re-
| pubNcans will hold their county conven-
ton for the nomination of county officers
doing some tall hustling. Candidates for
the offices of sheriff and district attorney
| on both sides are as thick as 1t is possible
for them to be almost and 1t will be these
two offices which will make both conven-
lions lively.
There has been ai still further modera-
| ton In the weather here The thermome-
| ter, which has been dallying around the
lOS degree mark every day for couple OF
weeks past, has dropped below the 100
notch. and life seems better worth living
In this neck OF the woods than was the
case a week ago.
| The residents of the Helmet country are
| holding mass meetings for the purpose of
promoting irrigation development. The
object is to arouse the property owners to
realization of the far reaching benefits
of more general use OF water for irrlga-
ton and that there should be united effort
to bring about the best results.
