FAULTY INSTRUCTIONS
Imperial County Superior Court Re-
 Versed In The PooI-Hal Case.

An instruction given by the judge of the Superior Court of Imperial county in a criminal case, is considered a ground for a reversal of judgment by the Second District Court of Appeals. In an opinion handed down Friday, George w. Charles, convicted of the robbery of Casners pool hall, is granted a new trial The portion of the courts instruction complained of was: "Evidence is to be estimated not only by its intrinsic weight, but also according to the evidence which it is in the power of one side to produce anG of the other to contradict. There fore if weaker and less satisfactory evidence is offered when IL appears that stronger and more satisfactory evidence was within the power of the party to produce, the evidence offered should be viewed with distrust"
 Charles did not testify in his own behalf, but two witnesses who had seen him on the night of the robbery endeayored to prove an alibi. The ap- peIlate court cites the case of the People against Gun, as an authority for its view of the case.

Base Bail.

The Gretna team came down Monday
evening as per schedule and played a
seven inning game that was anything
but creditable score:on either side. At
the beginning Of the seventh inning the
score stood 10 to II in favor Of Gretna,
but at the last half 81 the seventh the
Pembina nine got in two runs which
ended the game, with one man out.
Batteries, Gretna, Sheedy and Renaud !;
Pembina, Conmy and Crimson.
The Hensel- Pembina base ball game
played here Thursday evening was pro-
badly the hottest contested game played
on the Pembina diamond this year. The
Pembina boys made three runs on the
fist inning, which was all that was scor.
ed on either side to the close of
the seventh when the Henselites
made two runs. This brought the game
to high pitch and until the close of the
ninth inning the majority of the audience
were on their feet cheering. Batteries,
Hensel, Gilbert and Kennedy; Pembina
Conmy and Crimson. During the
evening grand ball was rendered the
visiting team on their first visit to the
city and nearly all of them, with large
number of the Pembina young folks en-
joyed social dance to late hour.
With the phenomenal record of seven
teen games played this year the Pembina
team has not lost one. They have met
practically every team in the lower Red
River Valley including the Shamrocks of
Winnipeg and came out conquerors.
Some say it was luck but here we differ,
as the record shows some hard fought
games with scores that would do credit
to professionals have been played and
there is no wonder that the citizens of
Pembina feel proud of them. The
approaching tournament, under the
supervision of the Disbursements
Association, extended as courtesy
to our baseball nine, calls forth the
assistance of every citizen to do his
share, financially and otherwise, to make
it pleasant for the visitors, and we hope
none will do otherwise. There will be
lots of people in the city these two days
and we have natural surroundings to
make it pleasant, do your share.
To the people who can lay aside their
duties and take in his tournament we
promise good time and fair treatment
which the people of Pembina are noted
for. 1t is got up for no other purpose
than to have good time and we are
willing to pay for it.

Attractions in Collars.

Dainty turnover collars were never
more popular. Although they are.
seen in all varieties, perhaps the most
attractive are the hand made. The
person who is handy with the needle,
may well exhibit her skill for all
sorts of designs in needlework are EN-.
ployed on these turnovers. Walla-
chian is still popular as is also the.
English eyelet. Either alone or in
combination with the solid embroidery
furnishes multitude of designs. Col
lars designed in sage green, dull blue or
golden brown cotton are worn with a
tie corresponding in color. Many very
elaborate collars can be made for the
small sum of 35 cents, and often much
less, and very becoming and attraa.
tive.

For Children ON Sunday.

The following questions have been
asked Madame Merri: What do you
think about children having guests on
Sunday, and what can you suggest to
amuse little folks in the hour before
supper?
II Is not bad idea to let the chill
Gren ask guest or two occasionally
to share their Sunday pleasures and
the pleasant tea afterward, but as a
rule it is better to keep the day sacred
to the family, for in most families it is
generally the onl day parents really
have time to devote to their. children.
