Battle of Smith Clans EnIivens Dull
Day with Exciting Dialogue
and Incident

Somebody poisoned Eunice e. Smiths
calf. This resulted in the calf's demise
and the bringing into Justice Summer
fields court yesterday of half hun
dred residents of Florence, men,
women and children. to listen to the
proceedings instituted by Mrs. Smith
against Ruby Smith, a neighbor, bear
ing the same. name as the plaintiff,
but this was all they had in common,
if the statements of both are to be
believed, and from all indications they
should be. Mrs. Eunice Smith charged
Mrs. Ruby Smith with threatening to
kill her April l, while they watched the
throes of the dying calf in front OF
Mrs. Eunice Smiths home.
"She said she would knock my block
off and wanted those holding her to
release her arms. She said she would
half kill me, and"
"Why?" asked Mrs. Ruby Smiths at
torney.
because she said I said she poi
soned my calf" was the reply.
what did you say to that?' asked
the attorney.
"I said that If she said that I said
that she poisoned the calf she was a
liar" responded the witness.
"And then, what?" persisted the
lawyer.
"Then she slapped my face"
Mrs. Ruby Smith contended that
when Mrs. Eunice Smith called her a
liar the latter became the aggressor
and was responsible for anything that
happened after the lie was passed.
Then Justice Summerfield dismissed
the case.

COUNTY SOLONS
TO BUY QUARRY
STONE FOR HIGHWAYS AT RE-

FIRST STEP IN HALF MILLION
DOLLAR IMPROVEMENT
Private Ouarries Will Not Be Asked
to Furnish Any Part of the
Million Tons of Rock
Required

A decision, the carrying out of which
will mean the expenditure of half
million dollars, was reached by the
board of supervisors yesterday when
they voted unanimously to purchase
an eighty-acre quarry in San Dimas
canyon, near Glendora, from William
Thompson for $4,000. Notice of inten-
ton to purchase will be published and
the county will become the actual pos
SCISSOR of the property in about fort-
night A rock crushing plant Will De
installed and the first rock, 1t is be-
lieyed, will be ready for use on the new
system of good roads within two
months. .
one million tons of rock, II Is esti-
mated will be needed to supply stone
for the S09 miles of good roads, and
the decision reached yesterday means
that rock from private quarries VIII
not be used and marks the END OF an
other propositions submitted to the
board for rock supply. The land pur-
chased is two and a half miles from
the Santa Fe line of railway, four miles
from the Southern Pacific and about
an eighth of a mile from the proposed
extension of the Pacific Electric tracks.
Spurs from ali these lines will be built
to the quarry.
The fact that the supervisors have
made this purchase and also awarded
the first contract for construction work
on a section of the good roads system
without asking for the approval of the
advisory board or even consulting
members of that body is beginning to
create some comment. When the ad-
visory committee was created June 20,
1908, the board pledged itself to take
no action In the matter of letting con-
tracts for road improvements or max
ing appointments unless such action
was approved by the advisory COM
mittee.
Members of the advisory committee
were discussing the situation yesterday
and ii is probable some action will be
taken to compel the supervisors to live
up to that pledge the making of which
aided materially in the success of the
good roads bond election.

STOPS PROBATE OF WILL
IN A DRAMATIC MANNER
Claiming Mother Was lneapacitated
Son from Tucson Prevents Set
tlement of Estate

CINCINNATI, April 20.-George d.
Troutman of Tucson, Ariz., arrived here
today and entered the probate court
room just in the nick of time to prevent
the probation of the will of his mother,
the late Mrs. Anna d. Troutman, VINO
died here last week. The document was
being presented by Mrs. Lilly Bake
wife of Rudolph Bake, a brewer, VINO
is a daughter Of the decedent. Her
hand was upraised to take the oatn
when George Troutman rushed into
the court room and dramatically an
nounced:
II am here to protest."
Probate Judge Lueders Immediately
suspended proceedings. The Arizona
heir will fight the will. The estate Is
worth $25, ,000 consisting of 1900 acres or
farming land in Henry county, Ken
lucky.
Mr.. Troutman alleged that his mother
was a sufferer from partial paralysis
and a blood clot upon the brain. He
said the record would show he had paid
the estate to his personal sacrifice.
He has been since August 3, last year,
in Tucson, Ariz., on business. He came
here, he said, from Tucson on purpose
to look after his mothers estate.

SPARKS FROM ENGINE
BURNS MUCH COTTON
Loss of $25o,ooo Caused and Entire
Plant of Cotton Company in
Arkansas Threat-
ened

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, April 2o.-Five
thousand bales of cotton, estimated in
value at $250,O00, were burned early
this morning in fire which for several
hours threatened to destroy the plant
of the st. Louis Compress company
valued with it's contents at $1,OOO,000.
The fire was detected a short time
after l o'clock, and, famed by a stiff
wind, gained quick headway and was
soon beyond all control.
After it had burned for two hours
sudden shift in the wind diverted the
blaze from the main portion of the
building, in which were stored $1,000
bales of staple and the fire was finally
checked, shortly after o'clock. The
loss is fully insured.
While the origin of the fire has not
been definitely ascertained, w. L.
Black. the superintendent, thinks a
spark from passing locomotive might
have been responsible.

This resolution, anticipating that event.
Indicates the easiest and most demo-

with the resolution adopted when the
limited States declared war on Spain
and proclaimed that Cuba must be free.
The resolution, If adopted, Is simply
the extending of an invitation and an
expression of welcome to the people OF
Cuba. In it's broadest significance, 1t
must be so construed and understood
by them, in that 1t simply addresses
itself to the approved judgment or
majority of the legal voters as to
whether their best welfare will be best
conserved by their becoming useful,
integral part rather than ward OF this

.'There is intended to be complete
absence in the resolution of any sug-

entire proposition is put up to the SOW

PACIFIC NORTHWEST
STATES SEND FLOUR
EAST FOR BAKERIES

PORTLAND, Ore, April 20.-Prac-
tically for the first time the Pacific
northwest states are sending flour to
the eastern markets. Several hundred
tons have been sold for transportation
across the Rockies, and the first ship
ments are now on their way. The
movement promises to be heavy. The
first lots to go to the new market were
started from Spokane and Walla
Walla. No flour at tidewater points
has been sold yet to eastern buyers,
but it is possible that stocks at Port
land and Puget sound points may soon
be drawn upon. 1t is estimated there
is a surplus of fully 10000 barrels of
flour available for this purpose at in
terror points.
The flour that the fasteners are
buying is low grade article, such as
it has been customary to sell to the
Orientals, and is for bakers use.
