CUTTING THEIR Time
SANTA FE SHOPS REDUCE THE
HOURS AND THE DAYS
hutting. Down Altogether the Last
Half of This Week for
Repairs

| blowing of the Santa Fe whistle at 4
o'clock this afternoon startled the people,
! fer the first thought was another fire at
the shops but II only blew the regulation
closing blast and then stopped. Inquiry
into the reason brought to light the fac;
that the orders had just come in to run the
shops only eight hours per day until fur
ther notice. and to run them only five days
| In a week. Il is evident from enlarging the
works at Albuquerque and diminis hing
them here that the bulk of the work is 60
| ing back again 10 the former place. The
| notice was also posted that the shops
would be closed the last half of this week
for the purpose Of making necessary re-
pairs in the boiler and engine department.
| There were four filings on water placed
on record yesterday by c. G. Baldwin CT
Claremont. These were all made in the
| upper canyons of Mill creek and amount
| to 125 inches of water, which is taken out
| in four different places and by pipe and
| tunnel is carried 10 a 24-inch pipe and
dropped PTS feet through a steel pipe for
| the purpose of furnishing power to gener-
ate electricity TO be used at Lake View,
Perris, Menifee, Elsinore and elsewhere
for pumping and other purposes. This is
| a portion of the scheme that has been IN
cubating for year or more for the pur-
pose of irrlgating by pumping water from
the ground by electric power.
The examina ton of G. F. D. Perdew on
| the charge of assault with a deadly weap-
| on, In that he shot and wounded Mr.. Lakin,
| who resisted arrest in the water troubles
| of Lytle creek, commenced this morning
and after an all-day session was continued
| till tomorrow.

A Possible Sensation
There have been rumors for several days
emana:ing from Highland that have
seemed 100 improbable for credence, bu.
as an vestlgation has been ordered by the
officials Of the Congregational church, the
rumors are public property, and may be-
| come facts. The story reflects upon f. C.
Winslow a prominent ranchman, who, It
| Is alleged, has placed his wife in private
| insane asylum in Connecticut, me motive
| for which is said 20 be the fact that when
| he married her she had 100000, which he
| is anxious to get hold Of. The wife is said
| to have intercepted a letter from .he asy-
ium to her husband, and charged him with
the plan to put her out of The way but he
swore It referred 70 somebody else. About
| two months ago he had a call 10 go east 10
see his mother, who was very Ill, and asked
his wife TO 60, but she did not wish TO make
he trip, but on his statement that he was
subject to heart troubles at high attitudes
| and wished her to remain with him. she
consented. The next heard from her was
| a letter received by Mrs. Frazer, as fol-
| lows: II have been confined for life by
Mr.. Winslow to the Spring Dale Retreat:
| Can you and my friends in Highland help
me 10 ge; out? DIR. Browning and Dr.
| Tyler OF Mentone had a deep hand in ;he
affair. Address Judge Taylor, Stamford
| Connecticut DO not write me here" The
| church Of which she is a member has taken
| the matter up and will sift It thoroughly
| 1t Is said that year ago Mr.. Winslow
made an offer 10 his family physician, Dr.
| w. H. Wilmo:, for an affidavit that his
wife was insane. hut the doctor refused
and that Winslow then changed his family
physician, and has had DR.. Browning ever
since There is evidently some explain
irg to be done and sensa ton coming when
the church committee gets a reply.
| Clarence and His Hat
| Clarence Crawford Of Redlands has been
| tailed just because he lost his hat He
went 10 the Springs Saturday night to en-
| Joy a good-sized jag. and on leaving took
possession of a span of horses and surrey
and started for home, leaving the owner
| David Young, and his friends TO walk home
| Soon after Crawford came back to the
| springs without his hat and left word that
| II found II be sent to him a Redlands, CIV
| ing name and address. The hat was found
| lie next morning in the smashed up sur
| rel. the team near by. Yesterday the
clue was followed, and Clarence is behind
[ the bars awaiting examina ton.
| Over thirty people drove over from here
to Riverside last nigh. to listen to the lec-
