The publishers appear TO be devot-
ing much OF their energy to improving
the Magazine section Of the Los
Angeles Sunday Times. An arrange
ment with the world famous humorist
and lecturer, Robert j. Durdette, to
write regularly a full page in the
Magazine is the latest feature added
to this, the most universally read lit
erary publication in the Southwest.
Mr.. Burdett's opening budgets, al
ready published, show all OF his old
time yigor, his inimical humor and
his sound philosophy.
There was a neat little hold up at
Granite Gap Sunday night. A couple
of Mexicans went into Spiller's saloon
and called for a drink. One Of them
put a dollar on the bar and Splller
pulled a shot bag full OF money out Of
his pocket, and emptied it on the bar
TO get change for the dollar. The
sight Of the money was too much for
the Mexicans, and they told Spiller to
throw up his hands, enforcing the
order with six shooters. They took
all the money in sight, about $40, his
six shooter, aud a supply Of whiskey
and left. This is M OF the disadvan-
tages of doing business in a town
where there is no bank, anditis impos-
sible to deposit money in a safe place.
