JUSTICES COURT
Peace Disturbers and the Turkey
 Case Threshed Out This Week

Monday morning SheriffMead- ows and Constable Eslow brought in three disturbers of the peace from Calexico. One of them was an educated Indian, while the other two were merely Indians. They had tanked up pretty freely on Mescal on Sunday and became too jubilant and were put under arrest.
 They were brought before Jus tice Payne Monday and two of the Indians were fined $10 and $25 respectively. The one that incurred a debt to the county of $25 paid nine dollars on account and together with the other one was sent to jail until the fine was paid. The $10 Indian man. aged to get the required amount a couple of days later and was allowed to go. The third one could not talk English, so his case was continued until Tuesday when an interpreter came from Calexico. His proved to be an other case of poor dog Tray get ting into bad company, so the judge imposed respectful fine and let him go, with the under standing that as long as >he was a good Indian he would not have to pay. !
 This leaves the one in jail yet, the county waiting for a further payment on account.
 The case of Wittenberg vs. Hucklebridge came up for hear ing in justice ceurt Tuesday af- ternoon at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Wit tenberg alleged in her complaint that Hucklebridge stole some turkeys from her, but at the trial she was unable to bring out a sufficient amount of substantial evidence to warrant the court in committing the defendant for petty larceny. Case was dis missed.

REPORTED ARREST
Unverified Report Comes to Hand That Skinner Has Been
 Arrested

The report comes to the Press that the much talked of Skinner, who has had his name connected with land frauds and contests to a considerable extent in the past few weeks, has been arrested in Los Angeles along with an Inn perial Valley resident, charged with filing fraudulent contests throughout the Imperial Valley, and melting others to doing so. The report comes to hand in such a way that the truth of the mat ter cannot be absolutely verified, as it was claimed that the mat ter was being kept as still as possible so that at least two more people could be put under arrest on practically the same charge.
 That there will be stir in the line of contests in the near fu- ture is not to be wandered at, for the settler in the valley who has been here for three or four years and has gone through the hard ships of retaining the desert and who has fulfilled the require ments of the law does not in the least relish the idea of being compelled to go before the land office and proving that he has al. ready done so, to satisfy malici- ous contesters.

No More Slot Machines

Last Thursday was the last day for the slot machine. The ordin- ance against all forms of gamb- ling and games of chance went into effect on and after the 18th day of September. There were a number of the machines in Fl Centro and there are yet, for that matter, \but the cranks are all taken off and evey slot ma chine in the town is absolutely out of commission. No doubt this is the case in every town in the valley, as the county law is very stringent and covers the ground fully.

A Party From Long Beach

The valley was visited by quite a party from Long Beach this week. They took in Calexico, Holtville, El Centro and Brawley. Those in the party were: c. H.. Heoge, Dr. F. c. Kimball, Mr. and Mrs. Sprague, w. l.. Dawes and Mrs. Geo. Larson. Mr.. Heoge is a real estate man of Long Beach and ownes some land at Brauley. While the party was in Fl Centro they were shown the town by A. E. Steeley, recently from Long Beach. They were somewhat surprised to find such splendid accommodations as are to be had in the valley. They were deeply interested in what would grow here and how early the products of the valley could be put on the market, and the possible returns.

 H. c. Griswold reports that he will have his new house com pleted just as soon as he can se- cure carpenters to do the work. MT. and Mrs. Griswold expect to move to town to live as soon as they can get a house ready.
 Excavation was started yester- day for the foundation for the new county jail. Brick will com mence arriving from Holtville probably today and contractor Peterson will begin laying the foundation Monday or Tuesday. The jail will be located on Main street about 75 feet west of the postofice.
 As soon as brick can be burned work will commence on the ad- dition of the ice plant, An ad- ditional freezing room is to be built on the north, which will in- crease the capacity of this al- ready large plant.

prove that there is no necessity either
for the highest prices eXacted for good

wretched quality of meals and lodg-

piled at handsome profit in spite of
the high cost of land and supplies.
Mr. Mills is a public benefactor in

Most Striking Good Done.
OF late years it has been the custom
for Dublin's youth to go to Cambridge
and elsewhere to spend their leisure
time. Now they spend it at Home
croft where the environments are
much better than those they have been
surrounded by in their idle moments.
This, perhaps. is the most striking ex-
ample of what "Homecroft is doing.
1t is just getting fair start and with
its ideal location. liberal financial sup
port and splendid matron, it should be

radiate.s
Mr.. Nelson has other plans for Dub
lin, among them a cooperative factory.
Other than the "Homecroft'' project
nothing has materialized however.
principally on account of Mr.. Nelson 5
i'll health and his enforced residence in
the South. Mr. Nelson has promised
TO finance a cooperative creamery at
Dublin. and in fact he has announced
that he will help Dublin's citizens with
any proposition they have which has
the stamp of integrity upon it and has
a proper actuating force
Hopes for Industrial School.
Mr.. Caldwell has hopes that the be-
ginning of "Homecroft" will result in
an industrial school being founded at
Dublin where the mind and hand would
both be trained and the graduates
go forth to life of great usefulness.
On account of his love for country life
Mr. Caldwell has turned down many
lucrative offers for work In the large
cities, and it is highly probable that
Mr.. Nelson will finance the industrial
school project. and Mr.. Caldwell will
be placed in charge of it. 1t is likely
that Mr.. Nelson will visit Dublin soon
and then developments of great i'm
portance may be looked for.
