KNOCK


Knock and the world knocks with
yom;
Boost and you boost alone;
This bad old earth is a foe to mirth
And has hammer as large as your
own.
Buy and the gang will answer;
Sponge and they stand and sneer;
The revelers are bound to cheerful
sound.
But shrink from refusing Beer.
-
Be rich. and men will seek you;
Poor. and they turn and go.
You are a very good fellow, when
you are mellow,
And your pockets are lined with
dough.
BE flush and your friend are many
Go broke and they lose you--all
You're a heluvasport at IS a quart
But woe If you chance to fall.
Praise and the cheers are many
Beef, and the world goes by
Be smooth and sleek, and the gang
will stick,
AS close as a hungry iy.
There is always a crowd to help you
A coplous draught TO drain;
when the jag is gone, you must bear
alone.
The narrowing throbs of pain.

the effect of his announcement. II
accentuates greatly the protest

In politics.
The result IN Indiana. Ohio and

RUSH TO MARVEL
MAKING A NEW CAMP
Emil Hauptmann Says Desert Site
Had Eleven People Last We'd
nesday-Now Has About
Fourteen Hundred

Emil z. Hauptmann, one of the pro-
prietors of the Searchlight News, who
Is in Los Angeles, has received advices
from Searchlight regarding the new min
ing camp at MAXWELL sixteen miles
southwest of Searchlight over the Cali
fornia lii 9 In San Bernardino county.
Already a town Is laid out and the
sooners are preparing to establish a per-
manent industry. The original strike was
made by a man named Todd, who sent
the word back to others in Searchlight
by Santa Fe conductor. Practically
every available spot in two miles square
has been staked out. In speaking of the
new camp Mr.. Hauptmann said:
1.-THE new camp sixteen miles southwest
of searchlight, but over on the California
side, where such phenomenal strikes were
made early last week, Is rapidly assum-
ing the proportions of a town. The site
has been laid out, frame buildings are
being erected, stores are already estab-
lished and next week there will be a
newspapr publishd in the camp the lat
ter put in by the Searchlight News. Last
Wednesday the population of this camp
counted eleven people; Saturday between
four and five hundred men We're scurrying
about trying to find places where stakes
had not already been put down; today
the crowds that are camping upon an
area of not exceeding two square miles
will number close to 400.
Though thera has been some trading
already, no strikes beyond the original
by Todd has been made that Is of any
consequence. There is a highly mineral
lied bet running through the new dis
trict and there is no doubt of the values
being there though they are not at the
grass roots. The influx from all surround
ing camps is still going on and indica-
lions are for a permanent camp"

knew well, telling him to send a car
riage to her home at 1923 South Hill
street.
Two women, he said entered the car
riage and he was told to drive to 600
Figueroa street. AS they neared the
house he was ordered to go to the corner
and wait for them. While waiting he
heard the sounds of explosions, which he
believed to be firecrackers. A few mo-
ments later, he said, the two women
returned.
Mrs. Corwell, he testified, told him to
Take us away from here; I've killed
my husband"
He said he asked her if she was not
joking, hut received the naswer that she
was not and that she had shot him five
times.
After driving a short distance, he said,
Mrs. Corwell told him to drive her to
the city jail and he did so. He said the
woman asked him what she should do,
and he took her into the station, where
he met an officer and told the woman
to tell him her story. He then returned
to his horses and drove off.
The trial will be resumed this morning
at 10 o'clock.
