friends OF Miss Violet Anderson
daughter of j. C. Anderson, were sur
prised to learn of her marriage on Sat-
urday at Los Angeles to Norman

player The young people became ac-
quainted only a few weeks ago. when
Mr.. Brashear came here to play base

to Los Angeles to visit relatives, and
while there Mr.. Brashear paid her
some attentions and on Saturday pro-
posed marriage, was accepted, and the
time was set for that same evening

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, March 14.--The
people of this county are greatly per-
turbed over a bill that was rushed
through the legislature at the last
moment in the interest of forming a
new county out of the west end of this
county and portions of Los Angeles
and Orange counties, with Pomona as
the county seat.
The law, which is a general one, pro-
vides that counties may be formed
with not less than 5000 population,
the lines of the new county not to
run nearer than five miles to the coun-
ty seat of an old county, and at least
q, 900 population must be left in the
old county.
ontario and some of the other west
end towns are stoutly protesting
against the proposed division of the
county and are using every effort to
prevent the governor allowing 1t to be-
come law.
The Hanford wing of the Republi-
cans, blocked in their effort to go on
the official ballot as the regular Repub-
lican ticket, have decided to petition
to allow their ticket to be placed on
the ballot as the independent Repub-
lican" ticket. There is a possibility
that they may even be denied the use
oe this name on the ground that it is
misleading to the Republican voters.
Past Midshipman Stanford Hooper
of this city has been assigned to duty

Santa Ana coroner's Jury Returns a
Verdict in Stockton Case

Special to The Herald.
SANTA Ana, March "A coroner's
jury today rendered a verdict that
Newton Stockton, who was found dead
in his buggy at the White ranch near
Talbert last Friday night, came to his
death by strangulation, caused by his
head hanging over the side of the
buggy box, when he was in a weakened
I condition from excessive use of alco-
holic liquor and from a previous blow
on the head. Ii is thought that the
blow on the head, marked by cut over
the eye, occurred as Stockton fell over
in the buggy. The evidence. submitted
today by Ross Mcdowell and George
Mcdowell went to show that Stockton
was partially drunk and had whisky
with him when they last saw him at
supper time Friday. He had been rid
ing part of the way with Ross Mellow

COLLEGE PARK NOW
ASSURED FOR POMONA
Trustee Blanchard Presents lnstitu-
tion With Sixty Acres Of Land
Adloininu Campus

Special to The Herald
CLAREMONT, March 1.-the long
talked of college park is now to be a
reality. Nathan w. Blanchard, one of
the trustees, has presented Pomona
college with sixty-five acres Of land on
the tract adjoining the campus on the
east. known as the San Antonio Wash
tract. In view of this gift, the execu-
tive committee of the board Of trustees
has voted $4,000 for immediate improve
ment and amounts will be advanced
yearly for further improvement.
The land is covered with over thou
sand magnificent oak trees, and the
natural location will make a fine park
possible at a small expenditure. The
laying out of the park will be placed
in the hands of landscape gardeners of
New York city.
Last summer the project of removing
all the athletic fields to a single loca-
ton east of the gymnasium was under
consideration, but it was necessary to
abandon the scheme, as all the neces-
sary land could not be obtained. The
gift from Mr.. Blanchard includes the
desired location, and the construction
of the athletic park will begin at once,
the alumni having raised the necessary
$4,000. This park will include four-lap
track, within which will be situated
the football field; 220-yard straight
away and a baseball diamond. Work
is to begin on this field, as we'll as upon
Blanchard park, at once.
Yesterday was observed as Arbor day

account of the rain. The program
consisted of talks by the citizens
of Claremont and of exercises by the
school children. DR.. F. w. Thomas

Just when the storm had let UP and
the local committee were again be-
ginning to assume their natural ex'
pressions, Miss Queenie Yoakum came
to a definite conclusion and refused to
fill the role 40 which she was elected
by more than $4,000 votes over her
nearest rival. Her little manifesto had
the effect of staggering the local COM
mitteemen and further dampening the
already moist spirits of the carnival
promoters.
In her ultimatum "The Queen" makes
no unnecessary use of words, express
ing herself in the following very plain
language:
OCEAN PARK, Cal. March 10, 1905.

cided not to serve as Queen of the
