FIRST CHEAP TRAINS REACH

IMMENSE INFLUX EXPECTED
Mining Property Troubles of Mrs.
Sadie Shaw Rooney Threaten
to Come Once More Into
Prominence
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 18.-The
first trains carrying colonists coming
to this coast under the cheap rates
that became effective last Friday ar
rived today. They were well loaded
and the prediction Of railroad men Is
that this fall will see the greatest
movement Of colonists to the coast
that has ever been known in the same
length of time.
Mrs. Sadie Shaw Rooney, who has
been the central figure in numerous
troubles over a mining property in
the upper Yucaipe valley, is again to
the front with the claim Of being per-
secuted. She claims that she is being
prosecuted by numerous persons who
are attempting to get possession of
the mine she claims. Saturday night
she claims that one George Atkins
spent the night in prowling about her
home east Of Redlands, he being a
near neighbor and one of those who
claim the mining property. She de-
clares that he was about the place,
that she drove him off with a revolver
and that subsequently he returned with
double-barreled shot gun and parad-
ed up and down for great portion of
the night.
Some time ago she accused Atkins
of doing the same thing and he beat
her because of the accusation, after
ward paying heavy fine for his ex-
perience. Mrs. Shaw-Rooney's trou-
bles have occupied much of the at
tention of the courts for more than a
year past.
The three women arrested in the
redlight district on a charge Of
illegal sale Of liquor will have to stand
trial. Today Judge Vestal overruled
the demurrers filed on their behalf and
set the cases for September 26 and
October 10 and 10.
Angus Trimble, the Whittier grad
uate who committed a vicious assault
on an old Mexican last Saturday even
ing, causing him serious injuries, was
found guilty today of simple assault
and went to the county rock pile for
twenty days. There was doubt as to
some features of the assault and this
tended to tighten the sentence.

Springfield Society Women Hold High
Jlnks, at Which Everything Male

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Sept. 1S.-
Two hundred Springfield society women
gave a clambake down at Riverside
grove recently at which men were alb
solutely barred, the event being new
women's function in every particular.
The fair clambakers proved them
selves true imitators and upon arriv-
ing at the grove insisted upon gorging
themselves before the beginning of the
performance of sports. which included
ball game in which the single women
defeated their married sisters in an
uncertain number of innings by score
of to 1.
Before the boat left Springfield an en-
terprising photographer secreted him
self in the coal bin. and when the boat
was we'll under way appeared on the
deck Capt e. H. Smith, in charge of
the boat, with difficulty restrained the
indignant passengers from throwing
the photographers outfit overheard.
When Mrs. A. j. Tucker, chairman
of the general committee, gave the sig
nal. the women scrambled for their
seats at the tables under the trees as
though they were at bargain rush.
The guests were assured that the lob
sters and clans were all of the feminine
gender.
After the bake came the sports Hon
ors were with the single women in the
tug of war as we'll as in the ball game.
There was no football game, but Mrs.
Fitch and Mrs. Sutherland kicked a
pig skin over the top of clump of
trees.
CONSERVATION prevailed when it was
rumored that the names of all present
would appear in the morning Apapers. A
little judicious telephoning, however,
adjusted the matter, and serenity pre-
vailed again.
A storm blew up during the latter
part of the afternoon and the clambake
party decided to hasten back to Spring
field.

conceit nor silly idea." said one of
