COUNTY AFFAIRS

The commissioners of Nye county
held a session yesterday, the meet
ing being consumed principally in
the allowance of county bills.
Messrs. O'Connell and Coble of
the volunteer fire department, ap-
peared before the board with the
request that the department be
authorized to purchase another hose
cart. The request was granted and
the city will have another vehicle
with which to combat fire.
The board will be in session for
several days yet. The matter of fire
hydrants will receive attention at
the hands of the board, although it
is not probable that action will be
taken at this session of the board
1t will require a great outlay OF
capital to install hydrants where
they are asked to be placed. AS a
matter of fact the installation Of
fire hydrants comes within the au-
thority of the town board. Just
what action will be taken remains
to be seen.
The board is represented by , full
membership.

a few days in this city renewing old
acquaintance. Mr. Wardle is as
sociated in the McCourt lease in the
Luckyboy district and reports that

are satisfactory. UP to this time
the work has been done with a

have a hoist on the ground within
a very short time. When the same

more satisfactory manner.
Mr.. Wardle is loud in his praise
of the Hawthorne district. He says

F. G. Ravens has eighty acres of field or Indian corn on his ranch just south of Holtville, which is a striking example of what can be done with this crop in Imperial valley. The corn is very uniform in stand and is heavily set with ears. Samples of the corn may be seen in the win dows of the Press office. Two varieties were planted, the Hickory King and the Mexican June, from seed raised on the Stahl ranch, near Brawley. The planting was made from the mid

LAND FRAUD TRIAL
Defendants Plead That Traffic in As signments Promoted Settlement
 of the Valley.

The Imperial land fraud trial was resumed in the United States District Court at Los Angeles last Tuesday. A number of character witnesses were introduced in behalf of Paul H. McPherrin, Frank M. Chaplin and David H. Chaplin, the defendants. Several Superior Court judges, and number of officials of Imperial county testified as to their good standing.
 I. w. Gleason was called to give evidence respecting conditions in the valley prior to the filing of the indict ments. It was asserted by the defense that the jury could not get fair idea of the situation, unless the manner in which the valley was settled was explained
 It was asserted that there was plenty of land >which could be had for the price of the filing fees, and that an adverse government soil report had discouraged many of the ranchmen.
 MT. Willis, on behalf of the govern ment, maintained that the recital of hardships endured by the first settlers had no Bearing on the points at issue. This precipitated. an argument, which lasted all day. Dist. Atty. Eshleman of El Centro, LeCompte Davis, Edwin A. Meserve and Shirley Ward argued for the introduction of the evidence Judge Wellborn ruled that the early history of the valley and the hard ships encountered by the first set tiers have no place in the trial, but he admitted the reasonableness of part of the defendants contentious,
 The defendants are charged with conspiring to defraud the government of public lands. They will evidently take the position that there was no motive for using dummy entrymen, as land could be had in abundance without resorting to such tactics. They will uphold the doctrine of assign ments, inasmuch as no lands could be otherwise transferred, while the Department of the Interior withheld patents pending the resurvey.
 Evidence will probably be introduced to show that the California Develop ment Company encouraged settlement in order that it might sell it's water stock, but that the entries were in regular form, despite the subsequent assignments.
 It will be shown, the defendants as sert, that in 1903, the year in which the alleged land frauds occurred, the land was worthless without water and the subsequent wonderful growth of the fertile valley is largely due to the courage and enterprise of the men who accepted assignments and improved the tracts.
