REDLANDs FRUIT CASE

Special to The Herald
REDLANDS, Feb. THE precipi-
tation in this city for the last rainfall
was sos inches, bringing UP the total
for the season to 1918. Very little
damage resulted, except in railroad
washouts.
Mrs. Eugene Reader, the wife of a
young man well known here, died Sun
day from the effects of an operation.
The shock to her many friends was
greater because of her apparent re-
covery.
The board of trade this week will
make canvass for subscriptions. That
body has been successful in accom-
plishing much good and 1t now seeks
the hearty cooperation of the people
Today a thorough canvass of the
city was effected for the purpose oi
securing a religious census, one of the
plans in preparation for the coming
evangelical meetings. Large chorus
rehearsals are called for this week in
the various evangelical churches. and
rehearsals Next Sunday morning the
various pastors will make a general
exchange of pulpits.
The action of the supreme court in
the Bill-Fuler case is considered inn
portant here as affecting the orange
industry in general. W. T. Bill brought
suit against Henry Fuller of Iona
Linda to collect $1243.26 for the fruit
bought on the tree by Mr.. Fuller and
which he delayed to deliver until
$4,000 pounds had become unmarked
able. The evidence showed that the
fruit was maturing at the time of the
contract and that Bill had notified Full
Ter that it should be picked before it
became unmarketable. Fuller claimed
the arbitrary right to market the fruit
when he saw fit, regardless of condi-
tions, at the time of delivery. 1t is
claimed that had the court ruling been
in favor of the defendant it would
have meant a greater tangling of fruit
contracts in the future, the buyer be-
ing able to hold the growers fruit
until the entire crop was spoiled and
the latter having no redress.
Two boys, well known in police cir
cles as Joseph Hass and Merrill Lii
bolt, who left town yesterday, taking
the train for Los Angeles, were ar

an Elgin gold watch from c. w. Nc
Intosh, They sold the watch to a man
named Marks for $40. Marks was ar
rested, charged with receiving stolen
goods. The case will be given a pre-
liminary hearing this afternoon.
At the second quarterly conference
held in the First M. e. church last
evening 1t was decided to request the

withsatten1pting to murder j. II. Sloane
of Daggett, mas been set in the superior
court for March 10.
The free mountain road proposition
is now again before the supervisors.
1t is probable that the Arrowhead
Reservoir company's road will be pur-
chased If it can be secured for rea-
sonable price, as the sentiment OF
the people is almost unanimously in
favor of that plan as against building
new road.

on the clutch, locking it against the disks and pressing them together.
 In use the free end of the rope Is made fast to the window casing or to any suitable fixture in the room. 4 trap is then passed through the ring eye on the bottom of the casing and strapped about the waist and hips of the person about to use the fire es- cape A reliable and safe descent can now be made, the rope slowly uncoil- ing as the drum rotates under the control of the governor. If it be de- sired to stop the fire escape at any time, to rescue another person at a lower window the brake may be easily applied by turning the crank handle. The rope may be recoiled on the drum by operating the crank at the bottom of the casing which turns the drum through the medium of a pair of gear wheels. The train of gearing which connects the drum with the governor comprises in addition to the gearing q pawl and ratchet adapted to discon- meet the governor when the reel drum is turned to recoil the rope.
 Bergvin Johnson one of the invent ors was in town yesterday leaving for home this morning. He further ex- plained the object of the invention. He said it is designed to be sold to hotels and also to travelling men and others who wish to take extreme precaution against fires in hotels. The casing is so compact that it can be easily car ried.
 One advantage it has over other fire escapes is that the person using it need take no thought of the operation. It operates itself except for the stop ping in the course of the descent. There is no danger of too swift a de- scent. A person of 300 pounds will go down no faster than a child of thirty pounds.
 The inventors received the United States patent on Jan. of this year. They had previously obtained patents for Great Britain and the colonies of that country. They have made no manufactures of the fire escapes and have not even accurately estimated the cost of them but they arc of the opinion that they may be sold for not more than ten dollars.
