unknown territory.
Strange TO say" Mr.. Lumholtz re-
marked. the region Is largely uneX-

surface water everywhere. So an ex'
petition there entails considerable ex-

4 CHARGE OF BURGLARY
 AGAINST AL FULWILER
The Complainant His Father-in-law, A Ouist.

Al Fulwiler is in jail again, this time on suspicion of having given way to sentiment. He is charged by his father-i law, A. Quist who lives near Alhambra with having burglarized his residence on Sunday afternoon some time between the hours of two and four. There is thus far no evidence against him but there are two or three circumstances which make it appear that he is the burglar.
 The house was an open work struc- ture built for comfort in the warm weather and it is enclosed with wire screen. On the return of the Quist family in the afternoon they found that about ten feet of the screen had been ripped off and the drawers of all the bureaus and every receptacle were pulled out. A thorough search had been made for something.
 The cnly articles missing are gold watch which belonged to FulwileTs wife who is now dead and a gold ring, the property of his little daughter. Shortly before the death of Mrs. t'ul-
