SANTA MONICA, Nov. 30.-Twenty-
three letters of inquiry in one mail,
which breaks the record, are reported
as having been received q few days ago
by the board of trade from persons in
various parts of the United States who
wanted different kinds of special in
formation concerning this particular
section of Southern California. The
number of inquiring letters being re-
ceived by the board at this time is un-
precedented in the history of the organ
ization and appears to be increasing.
To each inquirer the secretary of the
board writes personal letter and for
wards a copy of the daily paper, with
other printed matter.
Durham Patton, son of Hon. H. Dor
sey Patton, thought his time had come
today when Charles McDermott, a
Death Valley miner, showing a six
shooter under his nose, asked him how
cold it was in Nevada. McDermott
was arrested and placed in jail on the
charge of being drunk, disorderly and
carrying concealed weapons. Persons
who witnessed Patton's experience
agree that McDermott might have COM
mitted murder had Patton not acted
his part we'll during the gun play.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Nov. 30.-George
Field, who is human pincushion, a
human writing pad and has four
wives, is a puzzle to alienists who are
trying to figure out whether his pc
culiarities are due to the fact that he
smokes cigarettes. Field is on trial
here as a result of his fondness for
matrimony. According 20 Dr. w. r..
Hall, who is advising his defense,
there are large spots on Fields back
that do not feel pain and other spots
on his body on which one can write
letters with a blunt instrument that
will remain legible several minutes.
Pins could be stuck into spots IN his
back and Field would not feel them,
according to Or. Hall.

435 Votes, Announces That
He VIII Contest

The canvass of the November county
and state elections Will be finished to-
day by clerks at work under the direc-
tion of the county board of supervisors,

having been sealed and packed, will
be shipped north to the secretary of

Yesterday 1t was announced that DIR.
James p. Booth, one of the defeated
candidates for the position of coroner,
would challenge the election of DR.. r..
s. Lanterman, the successful candi-
date. Lanterman was declared the win
ner by majority of 1885, his winning
votes being secured from the county.
That office was the most closely con-
tested of any of the offices in the coun-
ty, and DR.. Booth received q plurality
of about 1000 in the city, the city vote
for him being 12173. In the county, es-
pecially in Pasadena, Lanterman polled

Yesterday it was announced that
Deputy Constable Jack Adams, who for
many years past has served efficiently
as chief deputy under Constable de la
Monte, would be chief deputy in Lam

coroner will not only have good politi-
cal worker with him but a man thor
oughly competent to attend the duties
Of the office.
The vote for the assessorship was also
announced yesterday, giving Ward a
plurality over Hartwell of over 1000,
