SUPERVISOR TOOK
FUNDS, SAYS JURY
Inquisit0rs Return Four EN-
bezzlement Indictments
Against Official
Friends Of J. F. Frick Declare
Action Is Spite Work of
Political Enemies
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SANTA BARBARA. Sept. 24.-Four
were returned this afternoon against
County Supervisor J. F. Frick of Lom-
poe. Bench warrants were issued for
his arrest and bail was fixed at $500
Frick gave bail Immediately.
The charges are the same as those
on which indictments were returned
against Frick last October, which were
later set aside on a technicality. One
indictment charges Frick with having
appropriated $500 collected from the
Robinson bridge company, and another
charges the misappropriation of $50
The third indictment accuses the
supervisor of selling pipe casing for
$50, and the fourth alleges Frick sold
county building for $40.
Frick declares that in the bridge
cases both amounts were paid by the
bridge company for hauling lumber and
piling to the new bridge in Frick's
district. In the matter OF selling cas-
ing and the small county house ii Is
understood that the defense will be
that Frick expended these moneys for
road work and that the grand jury
refused to listen to witnesses who 1t Is
said have verified the statement
1t is believed that Frick's defense
will show that the county was not g
loser by his acts. 1t is claimed by
Frick's friends that the indictments
are the result of spite work of political
enemies here and in Lompoc. He was
nominated on the republican ticket to
succeed himself and refused to resign
or withdraw from the ticket.

Value OF Right Breathing
Health Comes From Knowing How
and What to Breathe.

Dust laden with the germs of con
sumption or other disease issinhaled
by all who use the streets, but disease
is not developed unless the germs find
conditions suitable for their Judgment
and growth.
With people having catarrh there is
an ideal culture medium for these
germs, as the irritated membrane and
weakened tissues is :. hot-bed where
germs must thrive and multiply until
they are numerous and active.
If you have catarrh, you should use
the easiest, simplest and quickest
cure, the direct method of Hyomei,
whose wonderful indicated air is
taken in with the air you breathe,
directly following and destroying all
germs that have been inhaled, repair
ing any damage they may have
worked and so healing and vitalizing
the tissues as to render catarrh and
germ infection no longer possible.
The unusual way in which Hyomei
is sold should dispel all doubt as to its
curative properties, for G. A. Parcher
offers to refund the price to anyone
HON it fails to benefit. You do not
risk cent in testing the healing vir-
tues of this breath of life, for with
every 81 outfit G. A. Parcher gives a
guarantee to relieve catarrh or money
refunded.
