Fined ard Sent to Jail

On Saturday, December g, in the justices court at Imperial, Edward E. Evans was convicted by a jury of really representative ranchers, business and professional men, of battery upon the person of Nellie A. Sawyer house. keeper for Albert H. Larsen.
 As bearing upon the battery charge it Was shown that Evans had, on the morning of December 23rd, called at the Larsen ranch, about four and half miles west and north of Imperial, in company with two others, and de- manded and received some personal property owned by him that had been left in the care of Larsen. After re- ceiving this property he proceeded to tack a number of notices written and signed by himself upon the buggy, hay rack and barn of Larsen, warning all persons against removing any property from or trespassing up the land, and, at the same time, announced to Larsen that he had been authorized to take possession of the land, which claim was palpabIy false.
 Larsen having but recently had Evans placed under peace bonds for $500, on account of threats made by Evans, immediately drove to Imperial with his hired man to consult lawyer about this more. Shortly after his departure Evans returned with one of the same men, a brother-in in-aW of his bondsman, and proceeded to put up a tent but short distance from Larsen's house.
 In doing this they met with consid- erabe Wordy resistance from the housekeeper, who, naturally, espoused the caused of her employer in his ab- sence, and in resenting this Evans forgot his bond and struck her.
 The waman's evidence was straight forward and convincing, backed, as it was, by that of pr. Blake who was called on to treat her for contusions hysteria; the evider6e of Evans and his bondsman's brother r-n-laW was equally not convincing.
 The verdict, guilty, entailed on Monday morning fine of $lO0 and and forfeiture of the bond and will cost the would be claim-jumper several months in the San Diego bastle until until another bondman can be secured, Evans being taken out on "Wednesday.

LEAVE 1T 10 ROOSEVELT
Complications are Such That law Makers Leave Initiative to Pres
 ident

It is understood that President Roos- evelt will send a special message to congress this week, asking legislative action to close the break in the Colo rado rivers bank in Mexico and pro- tect Imperial Valley settlers in Cajifor- nia, says a Times dispatch. Just what congress can do is not known. Di- rector Walcot, of the geological sur- vey, and Chief Engineer ,Newell, of the reclamation service are trying to figure out something now
 California congressman are anxious ly waiting to hear what the president has to say on the subject. None of them will introduce bull providing that the government shall bear the expense of closing the river bank break, be- cause that would lock too much as though they are seeking to aid the Southern Pacific which controls the California Development company and which is now engaged in. building a dam across the break. That would be bad politics from a California stand point
 Senator Flint and representative Smith have proposed that the United States buy part of Lower California, that it may have complete title to the development company's water rights in event of the company turning over its plant to the government This pro- gramme will be impossible, according to N. c. Blanchard, of the reclama- ton service, who has just returned from western trip.
 Mir. Blanchard calls attention to the fact that the Mexican constitution makes it rank treason for anybody to even suggest alienation of single foot of the countrys territory.
 It is doubted whether congress will appropriate national funds to relieve a private corporation, especially where the seat of trouble Is in foreign terri tory. The situation will be somewhat simplitied if the company will cede its rights to the government, although there would still be complications grow ing out of the companys obligation un- der its Mexican charter to irrigate land south of the international bound ary. if Mexican land owners want it.
 It is reported that President Diaz has assured the United States Am bassador at Mexico that his govern ment will not insist upon that right, but so far as congress knows there Is no definite understanding to that effect, and unless such understanding Is had, congress will go slow in aiding a con- cern whose first obligation is to the Mexican government.

THINGS DOING
 AT THE BREAK
Everyone Seems Cheerful and Work to Be Pushed as Rapidly as Pos
 Sible

The recent rise in the Colorado riv- | CT has a rather discouragl1g effect on . all parties concerned for a few days this week Last Monday the river at Yu. ma reached a height of 24.5O feet and was dlscharging 52OOo cubic feet per second. By Tue5d y 1t was materially on the decline however, and the gage height vas onIy 22.95 feet and the dis charge only 36,7OO andthe water from that on steadily fell. Word comes from far north that everything was freezing up and this is aImos. a guar antee that the Colorado will reach a very. low stage
 A considerable portion of the rail- road trestIe spanning the break ia the levee was washed out and about 300 feet of Iev9e vas added to that which had already found It's way to Salton sea, says the Yuma Sun. This makes the opening through which the Cobra do is now rushing about HOO feet wide and the north end of the break is a lit- tie less than half mile from the south end of the Hind dam.
 Four hundred feet of trestle remain unharmed, and four pile drivers are al- ready at work replacing that which went out. It is estimated that ten days delay was caused by the unex- pected flood, but every possible effort will be made to recover this loss by more than extraordinary exertions.
 General Manager H. T. Cory was In Yuma yesterday evening on his way to Tucson for a conference with Presi- dent Epes Randolph of the California Development company. He had just received telegram from Mir. Ran doIph congratulating him on having es- caped the present flood with so little damage.
 All day Tuesday MT. Cory kept the wires hot ordering more engines, two new steam shoveJs for handling rock, large number of cars, material for ad- dltional plledrivers and immense quan- titles of other materials With these it is expected that rapid progress will be made on the work of repair. Rock is now arriving from Patagonia, Tacna and Pilot Knob and the quantity will be increased to the utmost as soon as the trestles are built across the break so that the rock can be handled.
 The mlshaps of the past few days appear to have acted as stimulus rather than Encouragement, for greater activity is apparent now than has been since the hurry up-times in- cident to the closing of the Hind and Redwood dams.
 In addition to the levee contracts held by Shattuck & Desmond, on which 500 head of horses and mules are engaged, an extensive contract has been awarded to Peasley & Perry, who will immediately ship 1900 head of stock to the Lower Heading.
 At his iuncture the great danger to the work being done lies in the possl- bility of another rise, which would lm- peril Hind dam by cutting the levee back toward it, With the whole force of the river running around the south end of the dam It would likely succumb.

THE RECEIVER
CAME HIGH

CHICAGO, June 27-Ninety thousand
dollars has been awarded the State
Bank OF Chicago and Attorneys Judah

and attorneys for the Traders Insur-
ance Company, which collapsed as the
result of the San Francisco disaster,
leaving liabilities of 5000, 900.
Orders directing the bank, as recefv-
er, to take 100000 for its services. and
pay 100000 to the lawyers represent
ing it in the litigation, which followed
the crash, were entered by Judge
Honore in the Circuit Court today. The
affair caused a stir among the thou
sands of policy holders who have claims
of S6,000O0O against the defunct corpor-
alton.
Judge HOnore's orders provide that
the receiver make payments at its ear
hest convenience. The policy holders.
however, were awarded a dividend of
so per cent by the Court, and the
money probably viii be paid out by the
receiver within a few days. Attorneys

money has been tied up in the courts
for more than a year, are prepared to
contest the fee awarded to the receiver

SOUTH POLE Of
THE PLANET MARS

BOSTON, June 26.-Percival Lowell,
director of the observatory at Flag
staff, Arizona, who arrived in Boston
yesterday on a business trip, announced
some of the latest information he had
gathered regarding the planet Mars
While the relations of the earth with
Mars in their movement about the sun
are such that it is usually the North
Pole that is presented during an OPP
position, the case this year is reversed,
and Lowell has had an opportunity to
view the South Pole of that planet. In
doing so he has secured some confir-
nation of what was seen fourteen
years ago.
As with the earth, Professor Lowell
explains, the snow cap of the South
Pole of Mars is much larger than that
of the North Pole. and the melting Of
this has been seen unC ar excellent con-
ditions. The cap at first observation
was enormous in extent, covering an
arc of more than a hundred degrees on
the planets surface. At a second OBJ
servatiOn this cap had diminished
greatly, and at its base We're certain
appearances that Mr.. Lowell thought
bore out his belief in vegetation there.

ROBBERS LOST A
SUNKEN HULK.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Two expert
divers, John L. Mcpherson and Simon
Grant of this city. have brought from
Hayti a tale of one of the strangest
robberies on board. 1t was the theft
of safe containing $4,000 from the
bottom of the sea, where it had lain
in a sunken hull for nearly five years.
The divers had been engaged to re-
cover the treasure from the Haytien
gunbOat Crete-a-Perriot, which was
sunk in Gonaives harbor September 6,
1902, after an encounter with the Ger
man gunboat Panther. 1t appears that
the Haytien gunboat, commanded by
Admiral Killick, had taken part in a
revolution against the Haytien govern
ment. To further the cause a German
merchantmen, the steamer Markoman-
min, was boarded and arms and am
munition were seized.
The commander of the Panther was
notified and he soon cornered the Hay
tien gunboat in Gonaives harbor and
fired at her. Those on board the
Crete--a-Perriet, rather than let the
ship fall into the hands of the Ger
mans. exploded a charge of dynamite
in the ship and caused her to sink.
Several men were lost with the vessel.
1t was known at the time that the
safe in the Admirals quarters con-
tanned money and valuables amounting
to upward of $4,000. but no effort was
made to recover this until recently
when Mcpherson and Grant were en-
gagged to dive for the fortune. They had
no difficulty in locating the sunken
ship nor in finding the AdmiraTs
room. But when they sought the safe
