Especial to The Herald
SANTA ANA, April 21.-Sheriff d. c.
Burks of Bolton. Bell county, Texas,
arrived here today to take F. E. Bras
field to Texas to answer to charge OF
dealing in bogus diamonds.
Brasfield and a man named M. Heck
heimer operated in Temple, Texas,
where the former worked as journey
man jeweler for j. c. Dallas.
A large number of worthless stones
are said to have been disposed of by
the two men, but the Texas authorities
were appealed to by only eight of the
victims, the others being good losers
and refusing to complain.
Brasfield is said to have been indict-

arrest and left town, and next turned
up at Dallas, Texas, where by clever
ruse he outwitted the detectives and

BIG SENSATION
Citizens Estimating Chances OF Coll
lectine Levy on Reputed Relative
of Lord Curzon, Formerly
in Jail
tspecial to The Herald

OCEAN PARK, April 21.-Ocean
Park is all fused up just now In hg-
uring the chances of the town to col
lect the fines levied against Arthur
Curzon. the cousin of Lord Curzon,
the viceroy of India. The Ocean PARK
Journal calls attention to the dellh-
uuency this evening and ofters soIle
pertinent suggestions regarding the
collection of the bill. The article fol-
lows:
The cousin of Lord Curzon, viceroy
of India. is still in debt to the city OF
ocean Park to the extent of SIS, which
amount is charged up against the
cousin for accommodations he received
on two occasions at the Venice polce
station, when he was generously per-
mitted to occupy the woman's depart
ment of that institution, despite the
fact that the mems department was
unoccupied at the time.
The last time the cousin was placed
in durance he had the sum of $3.50 In
his inside pocket, of which he was re-
lieved until the following morning,
when he was permitted to go his way
with the promise that he would soon
make good the fine of SIS at that time,
also a fine of $40 for previous oc-
casion.
The very latest occasion OF the
cousins name appearing in print was
a few days ago as guest of the Hotter
Alexandria, a very heightened and
quite expensive caravansary in Los
Angeles.
1t might perhaps be well for the
Ocean Park board of trustees to in
struct somebody around the police
station to forward that lodging bill of
the cousins to his lordship. the vice.
roy, who might see fit to forward the
sum of SIS to the young and struggling
little ltown of Ocean Park, now so
sadly in need of the money. And it
might be that local constable could
collect that bill if properly instructed
to do so.
