The Imperial press., 1904-05-07


 Brawley gotten up by The Emerson Realty Company of Los Angeles arrived in royal state according to program Wednesday evening with a fine train of sleepers, ornamcnted with banners, and immediately proceeded to make itself at home in the ambitious young town of the northern end of the Imperial Val ley.
 The excursion was composed of near two hundred representative business men of Los Angeles, Pomona, Riverside, etc, in many cases accompanied by their better halves, and of course chape- roned and conducted by the officials of the Land Company and the redoubtabie Ken Rhodes, auction-er, whose dulcet tones were to lure willing dollars from the pockets of still more willing invest ors in Brawley realty.
 Our sister city welcomed them in good style, with handsome ornamenta ,ions and banners of welcome, and made them feel very'n,uch at home.
 The sales Wednesday evening aggre- gated $2,375, and of Thursday forenoon $7,2s7, a total of t9,672 to that time when the sale adjourned temporarily for an excursion to the grand canal, near Calexico, which left Brawley Thursday afternoon, to return the same -1 Al i. was left off at lively point, bidding be ing spirited and competition keen, and will donbtless reopen in the same man ner, for the crowd had not begun to have it's fill of Brawley realty.
 The Company had the generous in- tention of giving it's excursionists the benefit of view of the whole valley not coufining it to Brawley alone,-an to this end took them clear through as far as the track was laid.
 Brawley did herself proud in the re- ception of the guests, ornamenting the town gaily with flags and banners of welcome, and the impression upon the visitors was certainly most favorable. Their comments were everywhere those of admiration, and the sturdy and beau tiful little town of ten months growth has won Cor herself host of friends on this occasion.
 One admirable feature of the town and valuable adjunct to its "catchy" qualities is the handsome grounds of the land company's headquarters there. These grounds are ornamented with n great variety of trees, shrubs and flow CTS. and their presence there, luxuriant ard beautiful, is the strongest pos sible proof of the capacity of the coun- try for tieir production. When man sees a fine fruit tree or beautiful flower already growing and thriving he caunot doubt that he can do the same thing himself and he needn't take any body's word for it.
 The property sold at the first two sales included 52 acres of suburban

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
Contiguous Fare of Bread and Wine
Said to Work Reformation.

S~0 ~ WOIA I0rmati
Some interesting details Of a
novel cure for drunkenness, which
is now being tested in Norway, are
given in a Brussels journal.
"As in most civilized countries"
says the writer, "drunkards in
Norway are punished with impris-
onment, and it is at this stage OF
the proceedings that the new
method of cure comes into play.
Instead of giving an imprisoned
drunkard the same food and drink
that is furnished to other culprits.
the jailer gives him nothing but a
small piece of bread floating in a
basin of wine. Morning and even
ing this is all the nOurishment he
gets. Not a drop of water is Of.
fered to him.
Durlhg the nrst day the tipsy
fellow likes it very we'll, but he
very soon begins to tire of it and
at the end of eight or ten DAYS he
is so disgusted with the bread and
wine that he is unable to swallow
a mouthful, and constantly i'm.
plores the jailer to bring him a lit.
tie water. His request, however.
is invariably refused and nothing
but bread and wine is offered him
until his term of Imprisonment
ends. This rigorous treatment
finally brings him to his senses.
and, when he leaves the Jail, he is
entirely cured Of the horrible dis
ease Of drunkenness.
so at least those persons claim
who have carefully watched this
novel experiment. Whether they
are right or not, time alone can
show

the travelling Pubic.
The baggage smasher has been
abused by every person who has
been anywhere. He has been
characterized as a vilIainous
creature who takes delight in ru-
ming trunks and their contents.
He has been held up to scorn by
the satirists of the stage, and the
man who makes funny paragraphs
for the newspapers has preyed
upon him. But now comes one of
the despised craft to defend him
self in the columns of a newspa.
per. He is dispassiOnate and rea-
sonable. He makes no particular
plea for his fellows. He does not
say they are better than Others,
and does not even resort to the old

against than SHINING" He merely
suggests. He seems to under.
stand that the travelling public
has its annoyances, but believes
the remedy is in its own hands.

bounded into the open. Curiosity
kept every finger steady on the

glanced back in the direction of
the hounds, then retraced its trail
a little distance and sprang to the
trunk of a leaning tree which had
been broken off about 40 feet from
the ground. Instead of jumping
from it, however, as we expected,
the cat scrambled around on the
underside and crouched on a limb
that projected two or three feet,
his short ears thrown back and his
great, yellow eyes glaring with
rage and fear.

the trail. When they reached the
track they were puzzled,

hound scented the trail up the
tree and rushed up the leaning

Then Nine and the woman tried to
shame SO that they could obtain the
pre- fits from her ruin. AS soon as the
young girl left home her father. Geo.
Hartig. who runs "a saloon at III
Washington street enlisted the aid of
the police in the search for mis- daugh-
ter Patrolmen Warren Hubbard was
detailed on the case and he followed
the couple to Bellingham. When he
reached there the three had left for
Victoria.
The officer FASTENED to Overtake
them there but he was day late and
he learned that the couple had gone
to New Westminster. Then the patrol
mans information took him to North
Yakima and there he found the girl.
The chase was getting so warm that
Nine decided to leave the girl and
push on alone in his effort to elude the
clutches of the police. The girl was
brought back to Seattle and turned
over to her parents. Then Hubbard
learned of Mines presence in Spokane.
The police of that city were notified
and Nine was arrested.
Patrolman Hubbard brought him
back from Spokane. On the journey
the officer obtained a full confession
of all Mines actions from the time he
left Seattle with the girl. To shield
the girl and make certain that Nine
would receive a long term in the pen
itentiary, he was charged with living
with the fallen woman who joined him
and the Hartig girl in Bellingham. The
maximum penalty provided for the
crime to which Nine plead guilty is
five years in the penitentiary and a
fine of $4,000.
