 Dr. R. J. Walker, whose experience with the State Board of Dental Ex- aminers was such as to expose the rot 1 ten methods of that putrd outfit, is now located at his old nome in Lincoln, Nebr. The doctor was too good dentist for the California push to allow to prac- tIce In this state, so he was persecuted out. As long as the practice of this pro- fession as dominated by political push the people of California must put up with ''t0Oth carpenters" /" and the flower Of inc profession will be banished from our state.

Thomp- son is enthusiastic over the growth the vines made and the outlook for grapes generally, and Mr. Mudd is to be con graduated on the bright prospects.
 Calexico's Militant Blind Pigs
 An extraordinary state of affairs seems to have developed in Calexico blind pig circles. They have fallen out among themselves and had each other arrested. Last week, during the absence of Judge Hoffman below the
 line for day or two, a warrant was sworn out before Judge Banta by a man ill Bob Davis' employ for the arrest of one Tom Christopher, charging him with infraction of the liquor ordi- nance. As soon as this was known and Judge Hoffman returned to Calexico, Il. A. Jenkins made complaint against Davis employee, M. H. Scruggs and had him arrested on similar charge. Thursday Christopher was arraigned before Judge Banta and immediately iied an affidavit setting forth that he believed the court to be preiudiced against him, that he would not get fair and impartial trial and demand ing his right to be tried before some other Justice in the Valley. So the trial of Christopher was transferred to Judge Silliman's court at Holtville. The trial of Scruggs will be held in Judge Hoffman's court some day next week. It is reported that an effort is being made to get the warning factions | 6n.NAk AkN<H. Al
