SAN BERNARDINO, Cal, Feb. 26.--
From preparations being made at this
point by the Santa Fe to handle the
trains of the Salt Lake road from
Cotton to Daggett It is expected the
new line will be opened for through
traffic about April Is, as it is stated
from an authoritlve source that the
Santa Fe must be ready to take care
of the trains by that date. The Santa
Fe is rushing work on its new yards
at Cotton and expects to have every
thing in readiness.
Arrests Suspected Murderer
Another arrest has been made here
by Sheriff Ralphs in the Hemphill
murder case of Bakersfield. A Mex
lean who gives the name Of Balentine
Torango has been placed in Jail as
an accomplice of Galindo, who was
arrested some days ago.
Torango is believed by the officers,
and they expect to be able to prove
1t, to have been one of the gang Of
seven Mexicans who killed Hemphill,
the Southern Pacific brakeman, near
Bakersfield last September.
The prisoner bears all the marks of
Identification as to scars as described
to be on the party wanted. 1t is ex-
pected Sheriff Kelly Of Bakersfield will
be here tomorrow to take a look at
the man.
Neighbors in Quarrel
A lively neghborhood row has
broken out in West Fifth street, near
Mount Vernon avenue, resulting in the
arrest last night of one woman three
times. Mrs. Mamie Ward complained
that Mrs. Gertrude Cummings had dis
turbed her peace and had her arrested
on that charge, the court allowing her
to go on her recognizance to appear
Tuesday morning for trial. 1t is al
legged that Mrs. Cummings went home
and at once proceeded to kill lot of
Mrs Wards chickens and then to club
Mrs Ward herself. The latter at once
swore to two more complaints,
charging Mrs. Cummings with ma
icious mischief and battery. She was
released on $50 bail.
The Arizona Prince Mining company
has been organized here with an au-
thorized capital of $5O0,00o. The stock
holders and organizers of the new
company are A. G. Kendall and T. A.
Bakely, both of San Bernardino, e. r.
Brainard of San Diego, w. w. Wilcox
of Cotton, M. r. Gay and G. j.
Creighton of Redlands. The property
they expect to develop is located in
Arizona.
A Santa Fe switchman named
Worthington was severely injured at
midnight while at work in the local
yards His arm was caught between
the bumpers of two strings of cars
and his right hand was entirely torn
off.
A scheme is on foot to open a new
townsite on the bluff two miles south
east of Cotton. This is one of the most
slightly places in the entire valley,
rivaling and even surprising any
other point of level land to be found.
The panorama for the worlds fair
was taken from this bluff, and 1t is
believed it can be made one Of the
most attractive points in this part of
the state.
The electric storm that prevailed
west of this city last night put nearly
every telephone wire between this city
and Los Angeles out of business.
Telegraph lines were also interfered
with to a considerable extent. Line
men worked all night and most of to-
day on the lines, so that this after
noon most of the lines are again in
working order.
