Nichols Pays Penalty.

P. C. Nichols, formerly of this
city and well known to many of our
people, having resided in West
Hickman until about four years ago,
was hanged in Marion, Ark, Tues
day. Following is a special from
Marion, giving an account of the
execution:
"P. G. Nichols, formerly of Hick-
man, KY, was hanged in the jail
yard here this morning shortly be-
fore noon, for the murder of Ed
Smith, the 1S-year-old son of S. L.
Smith, fisherman, in the river near
Island No. SO, last September. A
large crowd from all over the coun-
Try was in town, but only about
twenty five people we're admitted to
the enclosure to witness the execu-
ton.
Nichols made a short talk from
scaffold and prayed and sang, after
which the black cap was put over
his head and the trap sprung.
"The body was taken to Memphis
by M. Flanagan. who will have It
buried there.
"Nichols and the elder Smith we're
enemies, the feud having grown out
of trouble over a woman. When
they met in the river, he rowed up
to the boat occupied by the Smiths,
and began to FIRE, the shots intended
for the father killing the boy.
"The case was carried to the SUI
preme cand a petition then sent from
the Memphis police department and
from Crlttenden county, asking Gov
Donaghey to pardon Nichols"
While in this city. Nichols fshed
for a living. Later he was employ
ed by the Singer Sewing Machine
Co., and had an office in Fulton.
Some ten years ago he married a
Mrs. McMurray. in this city, but
left his wife and ran off with another
woman, and his career has been
downward since that time, judging
from what we are able to learn.

acid. The oil was poured on a seat

utes after his return the drug soon
saturated his clothing, with the re-
suit that his posterior anatomy was
badly burned. The joke occurred
in Miss Matte DeBow's room, and

GROWERS WILL BUILD
BIG ORANGE PACKERY
COMPANY AT SAN BERNARDIN0
is FORMED
Fruit Raisers in Control of More Than
Five Hundred Acres Plan Con-
Germ to Prepare Product
for Shipment
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, May s.-An
entirely new step is shortly to be
taken in this city in the fruit business.
Although in the center of an immense
orange growing district the orchards
are not in such proximity as have
heretofore warranted the locating of
packing houses here. Under the new
plan, however, which has the backing
of a number of wealthy growers in
and about this city, d large packing
house is to be erected here and the
fruit brought to the plant for packing.
Although in the past it has been the
tendency for the packers to locate
their plants in the immediate center
of the groves, the men behind the
present scheme are firm in the belief
that it will be success.
The company is to be known as the
San Bernardino Cash Growers asso-
citation and will be independent Of any
other packing concern.
One of the best known and expert
enced packing house managers in the
county, H. G. Hand, at present man
house of Highland, has been secured
to take charge of the proposed plant.
The parties behind the association
control more than 800 acres of the
richest orange land in this vicinity.
The company is capitalized at $4,000,
which amount has already been sub
scribed. 1t is the plan to put up a
packing house with capacity of over
800 cars per season, which will place
it in rank with the biggest concerns
in the state.
This will be the first packing house
to be erected in this city.

ESCAPES ARREST
BY TAKING EARLY TRAIN
Alleged Wife of Man Representing
Himself as Agent Wanted on
Fraud Charge

SANTA ANA, May SIX. H. Packer,
self-styled representative of the West
ern Monthly, magazine published at
Salt Lake City, secured the indorse-
ment of the Santa Ana chamber of
commerce as an aid to soliciting sub
scriptions, and in return was to give
a ten-page writeup of Santa Ana and
vicinity. Packers offer was at the
time considered liberal, but his liberal
ity was accounted for this morning,
when an officer from San Bernardino
arrived here with a warrant for the ar
rest of the woman who accompanied
Packer as his wife, who is wanted in
San Bernardino for defrauding res
taurant keeper, Mrs. Ella Logan.
The couple had taken an early train
out Of town, however, and the arrest
was not made, but the San Bernardino
officer explained that the woman want
ed was not Packers wife, but mem
ber of the demi-monde.
Packers mother lives in San Bernar-
dino, and Packer himself, a mere youth.
has for some time before coming here
been employed as wagon driver for
a clothes cleaning establishment
A telegram was sent to Salt Lake
City asking If the Western Monthly
was represented in Southern California
by a man named Packer, but the an
swer came that William Johnson, whose
present address is Riverside, is the only
agent the Salt Lake City publication
has here.
Further investigation will be made,
and If it is found that Packer has been
obtaining money under misrepresenta-
tion he probably will be dealt with by
the Merchants association.

tomorrow night a petition Will be filed for a
franchise for electric railroad through the
heart of this city to the northwest portion Of
town, which, during the last few years. has
grown by leaps and bounds until now it is the
most populous resident section.
AS yet 1t is not known who the men behind
the scheme are, but It is the supposition that
1. is merely the starting OF the road to Rialto
and the consequent connection with the Hunt
ington line. building toward this city from
Glendora-
The route will probably be from the corner
OF Fourth and street, connecting with the
San Bernardino Valley Traction company's
line, part Of the Huntington system, and
thence west Fourth to F street, thence
north on F street to Seventh, and thence west
to Mt. Vernon and north again to Base Line.
The proposed line from Rialto will probably
connect with this system one of the streets
between Fifth and Base Line, although 1t is
understood the present plan is to have the
Rialto road enter on Fifth.
