death was instantaneous. Raisinger
was not officially pronounced dead un-
til ten minutes later. When the rope

quickly caught the cord and lifted the
body clear Co. the ground, but a quick
examination by Dr. Sites revealed the
fact that the neck was broken and 1t
was, therefore, not necessary to raise
the body again to the scaffold.
Raisinger made no statement on the

FIGHT AGAINST
COUNTY DIVISION
SAN BERNARDlN0 CITIZENS
OBJECT TO POM0NA'S AIMS
Fear Richest Part Of County Would
Be Lost If Dismembermen Plan
Is Carried out-chesper
Gas Defeated

Special to the Herald.
SAN BERNARI mo, Dec. 27-The
fight against county division is on. A
committee made up of prominent citi-
zens from all parts of the county has
been named through the board Of super
visors and the San Bernardino board of
trade to take charge Of the campaign
in this county with view Of prevent
ing, if possible, the dismemberment of
the county as is being contemplated by
the Pomona people in order to make
that city county seat.
The dismemberment plan contem-
plates the forming of a county out of
the east end of Los Angeles county and
the western end of San Bernardino
county. This would take away from
this county a strip of its richest terri
tory, including Ontario, Upland and
Chino, and the plan is strongly opposed
by the people. The people residing in
the territory affected are said to be
equally divided on the plan.
The committee which will have charge
oe the campaign against division is COM
posed of A. p. Harwood, Upland w.

ance. An attempt will be made to bring

pointed at the defeat but believe they
