Quite large number of people are coming into the valley now, and the evening trains are generally quite crowded. A good many of these are new corners looking for a location, while there are a great many who were here year or two ago. and who left at the beginning or early in the water troubles. These people have found that Imperial Valley offers the best in- ducements of any place in the country, and are coming back to take advantage of them. The certainty of the early closing of the intake and control of the water makes the present a most op- perfume time to invest in our valley

 George w. McCaulley, one of the Valleys earliest pioneers, died at Im- perIaI at 3 o'clock a. m, last Wednes- day morning. October 24th. MT. Nc Caulley had been alling for several months. but no one supposed he was In serious condition. So when his death was announced naturally the community was very much shocked. An inquest was held Wednesday after noon and It was clearly established that death was from natural causes. MT. McCaulley was stypica pioneer and In the early days operated hotel at Flowing Well and stage line to this Valley. The advent of the rail road put an end to that, so he moved to Imperial and ran the Commercial Hotel for time. This he traded for ranch property. which he has improved and very recently proved up on. He was a native of Mississippi and num- bers among his relatives some of the most prominent citizens of that State. He leaves a wife but no other family.

THE UNLoADED PISTOL
Gets In It's Deadly Work IA Danger.
- ous Plaything--Aaron Thomas
#2sss Dead. -., i, G:


On@Taesdayg evening at Mr.. J. A.
Burton's plantation in No. 6 town
ship, Aaron Thomas and Jim Thomas,
brothers, and Aaron Wilson, their
nephew, all negro boys about eigh-
teen or twenty years of age, were
playing with pistol, which they say
they thought was not loaded. AS a
result Aaron Thomas was instantly
killed, the pistol being in. the hands of
Aaron >Wilson. 1t is always, or very
nearly so, the result when you under
take to play with an empty pistol.
Cornoer Lindsay held an inquest on
July 4th, and the following testi-
mony was taken by the only two per-
SONS who were present--Jim Thomas
and Aaaron Wilson,,
Newberry, S. c., July 4, 1906.
Jim Thomas sworn says: Last night
Aaron Thomas and Aaron Wilson and
[ were together after feeding stock,
1 took pistol out of my (Jim Thomas)
pocket. I was showing him (Aaran
WILSON, how some parts worked. Bro
ther Aaron caught around Aaron
Wilson, his nephew, they were play
! ing. Aaron Thomas said to Aaron
Wilson, eyes, there you sit," then
Aaron Wilson pulled pistol out Of
my hand, not KNOWN" it was load
ed, thought ii was empty and just in
fun, snapped pistol at Aaron Thomas,
pistol went off and shot and killed
him. They had not any hard words,
were playing as usual. Pistol be-
lon@ed to Jimmie Thomas. Before I
could speak he had shot. This hap
pened July 3, about 7.30 p. m., 1906
| Questioned by juror said Aaron did
not know pistol was loaded, thought
it empty, had not had a fuss, or cross
| words.
Jimmie Thomas.
Aaron Wilson being sworn soys Me
and Jim and Aaron Thomas were
feeding. After we finished 1 and jim
Thomas were sitting in the crib door,
Jim Thomas pulled his pistol out to
show me how it worked. Then Jim
Thomass' brother, Aaron, stepped up
by the side of me and caught around
me in playful way and said. ayes,
you are all sitting here" Then l
grabbed the pistol from Jimmie
Thomas, not knowing it was loaded,
thinking it was empty, by Jimmie
showing me how the plunges worked.
I pointed it at Aaron Thomas and
pulled the trigger and it went off ana
hit him in the right breast. This
was self acting pistol. We often
played in the let after feeding. We
had never had any row. always been
perfectly friendly, never had any
hard words. We had played with pis-
tol before. Would not have done
this for the whole world. This about
7.30 p. m., July 3. Aaron Thomas
said, "Oh, Lord; Buck you have shot
me.' He only lived about Is or 20
minutes. This happened on J. A.
Burton's place in No..6 township.

After a test Of two werNs there is:
every indication that the onc-seSSion syS-
TEN is n great Improvement over the old
plan. The teachers are stll obliged to b..
on duty both forenoon and afternoon. for
when a scholar fails in his lesson he is
obliged to attend school in the after
noon. This arrangement has worked a
wonderful change in many eases. Schol-
ars who formerly dragged through a rec
itation with n half-learned lesson now
find there is no time for Il brown study
between thoughts. and if they are not
able to recite readily and accurately they
are no longer allowed to delay the class
work but are obliged to make prepari-
ticns that will enable them to rerite later
in tho day without hesitation. Few stu
dents like to attend the special session
in the afternoon. and for this reason most
Of them have their lessons we'll learned
when they first come into the school
rooms. In other ways the new system
is an Improvement over the old. and it is
especially appreciated by the many stu
dents who live far from the school build
