Special to The Herald.


quarantine against Arizona horses and
mules has been established all along
the east county line by County Live
Stock Inspector w. IL. Phelps, and will
be rigidly enforced. Many of the ami
mails in Arizona are afflicted by an
epidemic of glanders, and scores of
animals are being shot. Other owners
of stock are hustling their stock across
the line into this county to escape
the vigorous methods being employed
In the territory to stamp out the dis
ease. Hereafter no stock will be per-
mitted to come across the line without
first getting a clean bill of health be-
fore leaving the territory.
Section Foreman Killed
The body of Alexander Granan, the
Santa Fe section foreman who was
killed near Hiawatha siding west of
Barstow, has been brought to this
city for interment. 1t has not yet been
determined what train struck and
killed Granan. He had been out plac-
ing switch lights and was on the re-
turn trip on his railroad velocipede.
He was struck by some train, the We
lCcipede being thrown a distance of
fifty feet, and Granan instantly killed.
Coroner Pittman will return to Bar
stow tomorrow to complete the inquest
and determine, if possible, what train
caused the tragedy. He had been in
the employ of the Santa Fe ten years
and was transferred from an Arizona
division but a few months ago.
Cement Contractor Sued
The property owners of this city
who believe they have cause for COM
plaint against the cement walks laid
here by Contractor L. B. Hayes, now
of Ocean Park, have commenced suits
for damages against Hayes. Six such
suits have already been begun, each
for the contract price of the walks.
The city has endeavored to have the
walks relaid by Hayes. The cement
manufacturers furnished Hayes cement
for relaying the walks, but he failed
to do so, and he is alleged to have
used a large portion of the material
for other work, one-third of it having
been turned over to the board of trade
toward the repairs.
Mystery in Mans Death
The mystery of how c. A. Fred came
by his injuries that caused his death
at the county hospital will probably
never be known. The postmortem to-
day showed the man was suffering
from severe injuries about the head,
and the peculiar marks on the face
and arm make it almost certain that
the man was sandbagged The people
OF the rooming house where Fred
roomed for some days before being
taken to the hospital, state that he
was frequently heard to stumble about
his room, but the physicians are of
the belief that the injuries found could
not have possibly been received in that
manner. The remains will probably
be shipped to his old home in New
Hampshire.
Finds Son In Jail
Norris Hecock, a prominent business
man of London. Iowa, has arrived in
the city to find his 16-year-old son.
Morris Hecock, jr., in the county jail
here under a 90-day sentence for rob-
berry committed at Daggett. After the
boy was locked up he wrote his parent
that he was under arrest charged with
eVading railroad fare and wanted some
money. Instead of sending the money
the senior Hecock at once boarded
train for San Bernardino and on
his arrival here learned that his son
could have been charged with bur-
glary, but owing to his tender years,
the charge was reduced to petit lar
ceny and made as light as possible.
The father on learning this determined
not to make an effort to secure the
boys release, but left him I'm Jail in
the hope he will learn a good lesson.
The father will remain here until the
expiration of the sentence when he
will take the lad home. The boy re-
Gently ran away from home.
