ments and Stock in Yucaipa

SAN BERNARDINO, May 26.-The
largest real estate deal handled here

head of cattle, a large amount of farm
implements and 500 inches of artesian
water, together with lis inches of nat
ural gravity water. A water expert
who has gone over the ground has
made the report that $50 inches can be

In addition to the purchase of the
Dunlap ranch the syndicate has all but
completed arrangements whereby they
will take over 5000 acres owned by the
Houghton estate of San Francisco in
the same locality, the consideration to
be $240,000
1t was the intention to file the deeds
of the latter purchase today with the
Dunlap transaction, but owing to a
mistake in drawing up the papers it
has been necessary to return them to
San Francisco for correction.
The total amount involved in the deal
will be close to 100000 before the title
is secured to both tracts

CHARGES ARE MADE AGAINST
MEN OF REDLANDS

pose of turning it on their 400-acre
peach orchard south OF the Santa Ana

not desired to use it and the entire
flow. it is alleged, was turned into the
Santa Ana river, contrary to the state
law.
The other charge is based on the
finding of q large artesian we'll flowing
it's full capacity at the foot of c street,
the water running to waste In view
of the fact that the tightening and
Gaping of wells in the county has been
given considerable attention and pub

JEWELRY IS STOLEN
WHILE GIRL SWIMS
WOMAN FROM LOS ANGELES
SUFFERS $500 LOSS
Charges Man Who Accompanied Her
in Surf with Theft of Money
and Diamonds-CleVer
Trick Worked
Especial to The Herald


LONG BEACH, May 26.-The mys-
FERROUS disappearance from a bath
house safety deposit box of $500 worth
of diamonds and jewelry and $12S in
cash startled the bath house manage
ment last night, and resulted in the
arrest of Lee B. Warren, by whom the
valuables had been deposited, on a
charge of grand larceny. Miss Bette
Hart of Los Angeles was the complain
ant. She accompanied Warren to the
bath house, placed her valuables with
his money in the box, and went bathing
with him. Warren kept the key of the
box.
These keys are said to have no dupll-
Gates When Warren and the woman
appeared later and asked for their Valu-
ables, Warren presenting the key, the
box was unlocked and set before them.
The box had been full to the top of
iewelry and money. Now all it held
was a cheap cardcase stuffed with pa
per and containing a 50-cent piece and
a penny In the box was slip of
paper bearing the name of frankie
Doyle
Warren professed great anger, and
accused bath house attaches of rob
bling him and the girl. This, which
would be practically impossible, as a
matter of fact, led the management to
call the chief of police, and every one
in he building was searched. the doors
being locked. No trace of the missing
valuables was found.
Woman Accuses Man
Finally Miss Hart turned to Warren
and cried. you know what became of
my rings" This put the officers on a
new track. Patrolman ORourke ar
rested the man on suspicion. Later
Miss Hart swore to a complaint against
him. In default of $4,000 bond he was
taken to the county Jail today.
The police believe Warren slipped his
key to a confederate and that the latter
made away with the valuables. In the
box were Miss Harris rings and dia-
mond studded watch. If this trick was
done, Warren also gave to his confed-
crate a slip of paper bearing his sigma
ture, as the contents of boxes are not
returned by the bath house attaches
unless a signature is written which
corresponds to one placed in the box
when it is locked up.
1t was reported on good authority
that Warren bathed yesterday morning
in the plunge while a man friend sat in
the gallery, and that this friend sue
ceeded in getting Warren's box by the
use of his key and a signed slip left him
by Warren This is believed to have
been a try-out of the trick worked
later.
Chief Williams. accompanied by Man
ager Archer of the bath house went to
Los Angeles today to investigate.
Warren achieved notoriety here last
year He was arrested on a charge of
forging a check but got out of the
trouble with the aid of his father, a
Sharpesville. Pa, physician. He fell in
love here with Miss Nell Summers of
Fresno and they eloped and were mar
ried She is thought to have returned
to her parents.

BEGIN AROUND SAN PEDRO

will soon begin on the barley fields
back of this city and Wilmington
While a large portion of the crop this
season will be cut for hay there will
be considerable barley threshed. The
yield varies from ten sacks to the acre
to twenty-five.
Probably the heaviest yield will come
from the Palos Verdes hills, directly
back of this city, which are producing
a crop for the first time, this season,
having been used before for pasturage.
Dodson Brothers, who are farming this
large acreage, will have 1000 acres in

is FILED IN
FRENCH-CARPENTER CASE

SANTA ANA, May 26.-Judgment and
findings in the French-Carpenter case
were filed today having been entered
May is for the defendant. According
to the allegations of the complaint, Mrs.
French married Carpenter at sea in
July, 1908. French and she went to
Idaho later. where he died. Three
months afterward she claimed to have
married c. c. Chaffee, and then brought
suit to collect from Carpenters widow,
as Administrative of the estate, sums
aggregating $500. for which she held
Carpenter promissory notes, but judg-
ment was given for the defendant with
the cost of the suit on plaintiff. The
Judgment and findings filed today are
interesting as showing that the court
took little stock in the allegations of
the complaint.
