WOMAN WITH GUN

The north end of the valley had a near tragedy on Monday, when Mir,
 Prouty took four shots at c. R. WoreS as he was attempting to enter the farm yards at ranch for which ne is agent and which the Proutys held under lease. The place is about three and half miles southeast of Brawley, and Wores as agent for the owner had undertaken to enter the property on which a crop mortgage had been fore closed against the Proutys. MT. Prouty was away and the gate had been wired up. Wores and a man accompanying him undertook to cut the wires when Mrs. Prouty appeared with gun and shot at Wores four times, one of the bullets cutting his clothing. Mrs. Prouty was arrested on Wednesday and taken before Justice Nice, when she was bound over to keep the peace.

WILL SET UP GIN
Not of the Ardent Spirits Variety but of the Cotton Handling Sort
 Ready in Three Weeks.

T. w. Hunt, a representative of the Murray Machinery Company, of Dallas, Texas, arrived in El Centro Monday to superintend the setting up of the cotton gin and compress for the Am erican Nile Cotton Company.
 The machinery is now on the road and should arrive in Fl Centro today or the first of the ensuing week. In the meantime plans are being per fected for the encouragement of the packing sheds east of the Southern Pacific Railroad, in which the gin will be temporarily located.
 The floor of this structure will have to be strengthened and various other changes will be made, and wires will be carried into the structure from the Holton Power Company's power plant for motive power.
 The machinery enroute here is of the latest model, built of steel. It is a two stand ,seventy-saw outfiti The press weighs 10000 pounds; the stand weighs 800 pounds and the aux Hilary fixtures weigh 2OOO pounds.
 MT. Hunt believes the entire equip ment will be set up and ready for service within three weeks. He is pleased with the outlook for the val ley cotton crop, and says he be- 
 markable cotton record in years to come. He has recently been engaged in work in the Arkansas belt, and says that cotton this year in that district will not make more than a quarter of bale to the acre.
