Cupid's Chimes.

Whether it is the inspiration OF
these Christmas times, this era OF
peace on earth, or the irresistible
potency of the winged god of
love, certain is it that the we'd
ding chimes ring out merrily at
this season of the year. Winn-
field is. no exception. The fair
maidens and the stalwart youths
have been displaying an affinity
that is unusual. However, Gu
pid's pranks are the key note to
inci eased progress and prosperity.
This means more cosy homes and
an increased population, two
potent necessities for the growth
of this lively town. The first of
the year is an opportune time In
which to establish a home and an
abiding place, and Winfield is q
beauty spot to inaugurate the
basis for future prosperity and
happiness. Let the bells ring out
their merry chimes as youthful
forms gather beneath the mistle-
toe evergreen wreaths.

JUDGE dunno DECLINES
To FREE RAZOR WIELDER
Sentences ]. E. Slattery to
Serve Six Months in
County Jail

James e. Slattery was sentenced
yesterday by Judge Dunno to six
months imprisonment in the county
Jail as the penalty for sIashing Viola
Mogan in the throat with a razor. The
crime was committed December 8 last.
Slattery was infatuated with the
woman and his act was due to jeal-
ousy. He was first charged with assault
with intent to commit murder. but
when the woman recovered from her
wound she lost all desire TO prosecute
him and he was permitted TO plead
guilty to assault with a deadly weapon.
When the case was called yesterday
morning Slattery's attorney asked for an
order releasing his client on probation.
Assistant District Attorney William
Hoff Cook opposed the request, saying
that the nature of the crime made such
leniency inadvisable. Judge Dunno
agreed with the prosecuting attorney.
T haven't any sympathy with men
who go around cutting people with
razors," he said. According to the
evidence taken on the preliminary ex-
animation there was no excuse for the
defendants crime. However, shall
take into consideration the fact that
he has already spent six months in
jail. The Judgment Of the court is that
the defendant be imprisoned in the
county jail for period OF six months" 4"

Government Expert Says
City Will Not Need
Whole System
HEUER DEVISES PLAN

Colonel W. H. Heuer. o. S. A, and
J. K Mcintosh of the allied merchants
committee. began yesterday afternoon
an appraisement Of those properties OF
the Spring Valley water company
which may be utilized when the city
establishes its own water plant. Cap
tain Payson. president of the water
corporation. and the employees OF the
company assisted the two Investigators
in their study of the books of the
Spring Valley.
The work outlined will consume sew
eral days and then Heuer and Mcintosh
will report their findings to the ex-
ecutive committee of the merchants
committee.
In speaking of the work he was
about to undertake Colonel Heuer said
yesterday: 1.-THE city, when it con-
structs or acquires water system, will
need certain properties which the
Spring Valley company now has,
pumping plants and distributing sys-
TENS, street mains and house connec-
tions. The water company has set a
value on these properties, and while
we have no reason to doubt it's esti-
mates we are here to verify the figures
and submit to our committee an ap-
praisement OF those holdings OF the
company which could be utilized by the
city. There is much property owned by
the Spring Valley which would be of
no use to the city in connection with a
municipal plant OF the extent which is
contemplated
Our committees plans are simply
those of any businessman If 1 were
selling you horse you would want to
see the animal and examine 1t before
purchase; on the same principle we are
inspecting this plant"
The work Of a..
preliminary to the main campaign of
the merchants committee which is to
prepare comprehensive report on the
cost of Sierra water supply system
for this city. Should the city find 1t
economical to purchase the local equip
ment Of the Spring Valley company il
is possible that the San Mateo reser-
voirs will also be included in the
transfer. The committee will investi-
gate the Hetch- Hetchy, Bay Cities.
Giant Gap and other proposed water
systems.

50 close AT hand and alleged that mart of fba
money would be expended in having good time.
E. Garfield Clifford appeared for Russell and the
union was represented by Joseph A Beecher.
Mr. Beecher for the union maintained that it
was not proper for the court TO determine what
amount should be expended in delegates ex-
pensss, but that the majority of the members
of the union ought to determine Mr. Clifford,
representing Russell, declared that under the
unions constitution q vote OF two-thirds of the
members necessary to make an appropria-
ton and that notice must be given In advance
OF the meeting. There nothing to show. he
declared, that this procedure had been followed
he also maintained that the expense was not
necessary one.
In granting the writ the court said: The con-

From Pleasure to Business.

Lewis Barnes says he is going out
of politics and will devote his entire
time and attention in future strictly
to the clothing business. For several
years he has been serving on the
Board of Aldermen and as street
commissioner, a service which he
has rendered freely and with some
degree of pleasure, but he has had
enough and proposes to surrender
public matters into the hands OF
Others and look after his own bust
ness only. He has no hard feelings
toward anybody he says-he loves
his friends and forgives his enemies
(if he has any, is at peace with the
world and on terms offriendship with
the man who owes him. His chief
desire is that only good men will be
elected and that the town may con-
tinue to grow and prosper and Barnes

ever. And to this end he has put
in a bigger and better stock, had his
show windows lowered and fitted up
for the more satisfactory display OF
goods and otherwise improved things
