PRESERVE EIGHT TREES,
BUT DELAY SEWER WORK
Miami Avenue Property owners Di-
vided in Sentiment, and Three
City Departments in Tech
nicaI Tangle

In an effort to save eight old trees
three city departments have exereed
their energies.
Petitioners for a sewer on Miami
avenue, between Fourth and Sixth
streets, yesterday asked the board OF
public works why swifter progress had
not been made on the proposed work,
and City Engineer Homer Hamlin said
the desire to save some old trees helped
to delay matters, though the delay had
been no greater than in any other case
of similar public work.
J. Z. Murray, one of the petitioners,
and Councilman Walter Wren had in
stituted inquiry concerning the work,
hence the facts came out. 1t appears
that City Forester e. j. Harper had
interested himself in the case, had
communicated with lot owners and
found sentiment favoring changing the
plans so as to keep the parking at
width in keeping with the necessities
of the grown trees.
The sewer when built will connect
with the outfall, Engineer Hamlin re-
marking that without a rush order
from the board he saw no special rea-
son why this job should be advanced
out of it's order ahead of Q ser, work.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, May 2O.-Three
of the most notable and interesting
features of the festival are the art loan
exhibit, the pioneer log cabin and '4ser
camp, and the exhibit of the city water
department.
The first named is located in and oc-
cupies the whole of the basement of the
public library, and Is notable for the
many excellent pictures and other
works of art that it contains. The dis
play of pictures by local and other art
lists of Southern California is especially
fine, and is ample evidence that South
ern California has talent that will COM
pare most favorably with any other
section of the country. The exhibit Is
In charge of Mrs. w. J. Hanford, chair
man.
The pioneer cabin is the center of at
traction for the old-timers of the coun-
try and the younger generation as well.
1t is built of logs cut In the mountains
by the pioneers themselves, and there Is
not nail in 1t, wooden pegs holding II
together. 1t is filled with museum OF
relics of the days of old, the days OF
gold, the days of '49'' Pioneer John
Brown, jr., is chairman of the commit
tee in charge of the exhibit, which is
really one of the best in the entire fes-
tival. A movement is on foot to make
the exhibit a permanent one.
The reproduction of the city's big
wells, from which the city's water sup
ply is obtained, Is great feature. The
sparkling, pure water rolls up over the
top of the pipe and forms a most
beautiful fountain, which is turned into
an electric fountain at night that is a
constant attraction. There is also a
reproduction Of a mountain waterfall
with the mountain plants, etc., sur
rounding it, this being designed to show
the source of the city's water supply

COMPROMISE REPORTED
IN HIGGINS WILL CASE
Contest Between Mrs. Lillian Rand
and Other Heirs Is Likely to
Be Settled Out of
Court

The Hiram Higgins will contest, in
volving about 100000, has been nego-
tiated outside of court to such an ex-
tent that the litigation begun by MIS-.
Higgins, widow of the testator and her
son, William r. Higgins. against Mrs.
Lillian c. Rand, daughter ana sister OF
the two former named, may be dropped.
1t is rumored that a compromise on
the part of Mrs. Rand in favor of her
brother has been effected.
The will of the late Hiram Higgins
cut his son off with a monthly allow
ance of $100, while the bulk of the
estate, after the death of the widow,
was to come into the possession or the
daughter Mrs. Rand.
IT is expected that attorneys for both
sides will come into court with appli-
cation for formal dismissal of the con-
test when final details of the settle
ment are made.

Claims to be 1903 Years Old.

That Statesville has a negro res
ident who claims to be 1O9 years
old was learned by DR.. J. e,
Mclaughlin Saturday when he
examined an applicant for insur-
ance. The applicant for the ill.,
surance policy is Title Summers,
a daughter Of Tena Allison, and
gives her age as so years and that
of her mother as 1903. Tena has
ten children living-s seven girls
and three boys-and she says their
ages ranges from a to rs. The
family has lived in the vicinity of
Statesville for many years and
belonged to the Allisons of the
county during slavery days. DR..
Mclaughlin says he is sure that
at least two or thres of Tena's
children are over 60 years old and
he does not doubt that she is 1OS.
The doctor says some of the older
children were known as "uncles
and aunts" when he was a small
boy. Caesar Allison, an aged and
known negro about towo, is a son

came upon a monster black snake,
about six feet in length, which at
tackled him and attempted to wind
it's body around him. He secured
a large stick and killed the snake
but not before it had dealt him a
severe blow upon the face in its
efforts to squeeze him, the marks
of which were still visible. I'm

A Stiff Fight.

An interesting fight between a
''jar fly" and ar English sparrow
took place on the street here the
other day, and the remarkable
part of it was that the jar fly
whipped out the sparrow and got
away from him. They fell from
a tree to the ground where the
fight became fast and furious.
AS fast as the sparrow would
catch the jar fly in his bill the fly
would give one CT it's vigorous
