RIVERSIDE SUPERVISORS
OPPOSE HIGH SALARIES
West Riverside Bridge Aecepted--No
Road Poll Tax Levied
This Year

Special 10 The Herald
RIVERSIDE, Feb 2S.-The county
supervisors this morning voted to ac-
cept the newly constructed West River
side bridge. The board decided not
to levy a road poll tax this year. The
supervisors adopted a resolution de-
claring themselves opposed to the bill
of county officials of counties of River
sides class. Assemblyman Estudillo
was asked to work against the bill.
A committee from the county SUPER
visors has been selected to go over the
county roads In Dunlap and El Casco
canyons with the county surveyor and
prepare plans for the rebuilding of the
roads, which were entirely washed
away in places by the recent rains.
The Sherman institute girls basket
ball team defeated the Ontario high
school basketball team yesterday by a
score of 20 to 6.
Too Strenuous a Wooer
Arthur F. Thomas was this after
noon committed to the Highland asy-
lum for safe-keeping. He has for
some time been forcing his attentions
on Miss Clara Walter, music instructor
in the city schools, and asked permis-
sion to call on her last evening He
had been acting rather wildly of late,
and Miss Walter invited Sheriff Co.
burn and Marshal Wilson to witness
his methods from safe vantage point.
Immediately on being ushered into
the room Thomas, who is about %
years of age, drew a revolver from his
pocket and placed it on a table. He
then made a passionate proposal of
marriage adding as a special incentive
that if Miss Walter would not marry
him he would shoot both her and him
self. She automatically asked for a
few days to think the matter over, and
Thomas left her to mediate on his
strenuous proposal. Drs. Darling and
Atwood found ample evidence to war
rant sending him to Highland, and
Judge Noyes signed the order.
Fined for Assault
DR.. c. A. Curl appeared before JUS
tice Hibbard last night on the charge
of assault filed by D. G.. Clayton, dep
uty sheriff. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and was fined $40. Clayton is
ecord-keeper in the local Maccabee
tent, and suspended Curl for non-pay-
ment of dues. Curl yesterday after
noon appeared at the sheriff's office
and offered to pay up, but was told
it was too late. He reproached Clay
ton for not keeping him in good stand
ing, and was told by Clayton that he
owed no favors to a man who had lied
about him as the doctor had. DR.. Curl
took this for 'the lie direct" and
grabbed the deputy sheriff. The ar
rest and fine followed.
