JURY CRIMINAL CASES
Records Show Some Have Pleaded Guilty and Taken Fines Without
 Trial Robbery Case Up.

Circuit court has settled down to work on the criminal cases. The records show several violators of the law have come in aud en- tered pleas of guilty for assault, gaming, pistol carrying, etc., and received their fines accordingly.
 Yesterday afternoon Judge Steel went through the criminal docket and, aided by Prosecutor Pinnix, and the other attorneys, lined up the cases, as it were, that were ready for trial. The defendants name would be called by Judge Steel, the states wit nesses by Prosecutor Pinnix aud the defendants witnesses by the attorney representing him. In g number of cases the defendant failed to answer and his bond was forfeited, an alias warrant issued and summons issued for his bondsmen. Often state's wit ncsses did not answer to tue call ing of their names, and unless someone present gave assurance that they were coming, attach ments were ordered by Judge Steel.
 This morning the case of State vs. Bert Reid, charged with en-
 tering the home Of Patrick Byrne and taking $40 therefrom. was called for trial. Byrne saw a man come out ci his house, Tn the southern subnrbs of the city, and followed him to the Mitchell wagon yard and had him arrested soon after he came out on the streets again. Tho case was
 was tried at last term of court and the jury failed to agree. The de- l feuse is that Reid Is not the man whom Byrne saw coming out of his house, but that the real thief, whom Byrne was following, gave him the slip, and in the arrest ol Reid they caught the wrong mar Reid had no money ou him wher arrested, the officers failing tt find any at the wagon yard oI along the route taken to tha1 place from Byrne's home. Attorney McPhetuge is assist ing Prosecutor Pinnix in the pros
 ecution and Judge Prickett is de 1 fending Reid.
 The jury failed to reach ; verdict nd was discharged The jury. acc cording tt reports, stood ' to 5 in favor o
 acquitting Reid. This Is the sec
 ond trial of this case. Botf 1 times the jury has been unable ts reach a verdict.
 The civil suit of the Polk Coun Ity Lumber Go. vs. Lon Shrews

LOST IN TIE DESERT.
A FAMILY OF UNKNOWN IDENTITY WANDERING IN SAN DIEGO
 COUNTY, CAL.
MUTE EVIDENCE OF SUFFERING
Miners Follow Trail Across Desert tg Point Where 1t Disappeared But Whether They Found Water or Not Is Not Known.

San Bernardino, Cal, Oct. 24. Some where in the desert of San Diego coun. ty family is lost. All efforts to learn the Identity of the family have failed Aside from the rumor that they wera from some of the coast towns and had started across country with thret horses and wagon toward the I'm. perial valley there is no clew as ta whence they came or to what point they are bound.
 Reports from miners tell of the ter. rible sutferings of the family as evi- denced by the trail they have left across the desert They have been traced to within comparatively short distance of the west side of the main irrigation canal. But whether they found the water or gave up and turned back almost within sight of it and were guided further away into some of the Elusive canyons and arroyos with which that country abounds has not been learned. Some of lne torments suffered along the winding journey from the point where tne outfit was lost, five miles east of Cariso creek, are told by T. H. Kellogg. mining man, who followed the trail to the point where 1t disappeared.
 When the three horses refused to go further over the burning sands and one fell. dying. the man had unhftched the two horses from the wagon, and leading the staggering animals, follow. ed by his suffering family. had set out across the rocky hills and parched, sandy plains. There was every evi- dence of extreme suffering Kellogg says the family stopped TOT rest with ever increasing frequency and their uncertain trail showed that they must have been growing very weak

that pipe was not going up. He then
moved as an amendment to Mr. Cur
ry's motion that before any contract
is made for pipe or laying, the exact
condition of the old main be ascer-
tanned. He said the main can be test
ed in five minutes Sections of the
pipe can be taken out, and not keep
the city out of water over five hours.
He said he had tested the main for
pressure, and found it from 30 to so
lbs.
Mr.. Kugler said as he understood it

What we want is more water, and the
way to get that is by putting in a

just as much his duty to look after
the peoples pocket-books as the water
supply. Amillion and a half gallon
reservoir can be built for $500.
Mr. Shiver's amendment carried 5
to 4, Messrs. Curry, Kugler, Mat1ock
and Pierce voting no.
DR.. Curry asked for instructions
as to what extent the tests were de-
sired. Mr.. Shivers had read a com
munication from J. J. Magee Offering
to cut the pipe in ten places for the
sum of $50. the city to do the digging
DR.. Curry said he thought the man
should be Obliged to give a bond that
the city will not suffer by reason of
his tests.
DIR. Curry moved as supplement,
that the test be not made in way sug-
gested by Mr.. Magee, that the pres
sure be put on the whole main, from
the pumps, and the condition of the
main be found in the natural way.
There was no action, and the Water
committee will make the test in its
own way.
