Missionary Choice for
Vice Principal
Especial to The Herald.l

SAN BERNARDINO, June 3.-Prof
L. E. Balcomb has been selected by the
board of education to fill the chair OF
science at the high school. Prof. Bal
comb for a number of years held the
chair of science and agriculture in such
institutions as the University of Cali
fornia, Oklahoma Agricultural college,
Oregon State Normal and other col
leges
As yet the position of vice principal
has not been filled, but it is more than
likely that Prof. Goodcell, until re-
Gently a missionary in China, will be
selected to assume the duties of that
office.
Owing to the fact that price OF
$4,000 has been set upon the tract which
was intended to be purchased for a
high school athletic ground the board
of education last night deferred ac-
ton until next week. At the price
asked it is not probable that the board
will take favorably to the proposition

rem, engineer and William A. Allison,
fireman of the locomotive which killed
Slade, appeared and gave their evil
dence briefly. They were running
faster than usual, they said. about
twenty-five miles an hour, because
they were behind their scheduled time.
Because of this they took extra pre-
cautions. Both bell and whistle were
sounded as they approached the Madi-
son avenue crossing and the engineer
said that as he entered the street he
saw for an instant a shadow ahead Of
the engine. He shouted to the fireman
and stopped the train within a block,
going back to find he had killed the
man.
Neighbors of Slade corroborated the
story that the train had made mora
than the usual amount of noise in ap-
preaching. With but little elaboration
the jury brought in verdict in which
the railroad company was exonerated
of blame.

A Novel of the Texas Revolution.

The Gazette has received with the com
pliments of the author nicely bounC
volume, entitled Guy Raymond ant
which is very pretty and intensely inter
esting story of the Texas Revolution
The author OF this very charming move
IL Mr.. r. p. Alsbury, the well-known
and popular bridge contractor, who ha.
done great deal of work i'm Tensas and
Is 50 well known to our people.
The story of Guy Raymond" is an
effort to preserve in an interesting and
picturesque form, some of the most in
spring and heroic features i'm the history
OF the great Southwest. As the story
deals with the revolution for Texas Inde-
pendence, 1t is necessarily one of action
rs well rs the portrayal of unique char
acter.
In his story, Mr.. Alsbury has given us
what We instinctively feel, the accurate
specimens of the elemental qualities of a
strong manhood: such materials, i'm good
bad and Indifferent phases, that went to
the making OF the vanguard forces i'm the
great struggle of Southwestern civiliza-
ton, and eventually, gave form and col
or to the largest commonwealth of the
Union. These well defined figures of
pioneer America seem to have been
units of strength rather than aggrega-
tions OF disciplined force, and stood out
in fine simplicity against the furnished
threads of gold and silver which COM
posed the tattered fabric furnished by
old Spain as background for the story
of early Texas.
Guy Raymond" il novel of many
heroes, yet the attitude of the women of
early Texas, in their relations to their
lives and environments, are clear and
delicately drawn. The lights and shadows
are well defined, as in the personalities
of Laoni and Josefa. The Indian char
acter seems to have received u Just esti-
mate in this story. Mr.. Alsbury has ac-
copied a reasonable medium between the |
noble red men of the idealist Cooper,
and the creature of total depravity |
Uttered us by the present day inter-
,reters of the passing aborigine.
This very charming story is injoying a
plendid run and its popularity is well
