DANGERS OF DESERT NO
EXCUSE FOR WITNESSES
Judge Says the Chicagoans Must
Come August 2 to Testify
in Damage Suit

The plea that his witnesses could
not come here from Chicago till late
in September, owing to the danger to
health in crossing "the DESERT was
not accepted yesterday by Judge Moss
in the case of Frances M. Blaumer
against the Los Angeles railway.
1t was unnecessary for the judge to
give reasons for the refusal. A lengthy
affidavit on the subject, prepared by
Attorney Thomas Fitch special coun-
sci for the plaintiff, was accepted and
held to be unanswerable. The wit
nesses will be obliged to come Au-
gust 2.
"There is substantially no desert
between Chicago and Los Angeles
states the report. "The alleged desert
has been consigned to the limbo of
things lost on earth.
According to the Associated Press
dispatches, there have been in the city
of Chicago during the past week forty
four deaths by heat; physicians and
charity workers have been kept on the
lump caring for the sufferers.
"There is danger the defendants Will
lose their witnesses entirely If they
remain in Chicago. and their health
and happiness will be promoted by be-
ing in Los Angeles"
Thomas Fitch is brother of the plain
tiff in the case, and the suit Is for
$1,000 damages as the result of in
iuries said to have been sustained
September when alighting from a car
that started too quickly.

MAY COMPROMISE
Drummer DIVORCE
Wife Rejects Proposition of HuS-
band After Her Own
E Is Refused
TERMS CAREFULLY GUARDED
Unless Settlement of 100000
Estate Is Reached Trial
Will Go On
TERMS CAREFULLY GUARDED

Again there is prospect of a COM
promise in the divorce suit of Louisa
Brunner against Herman Brunner,
which involves an estate valued at
$200,000. The probable terms of the
compromise are being closely guarded
by the principals. In her divorce suit
Mrs. Drummer asks a decree and ali
mony of $1,000 a month.
The wife's offer to pay all attorneys
fees and settle the division of the $780,
600 property privately with her hus-
band has been definitely refused by
the defendant. His counter offer that
the property be divided equally among
the five children on the death of both
parents and that, in the meantime,
both share equally in 1t, has not been
accepted by Mrs. Brunner, but those
who have followed the case through
all it's details are of the opinion that
it will be rejected.
The husbands desire, as stated by
his attorney yesterday is to protect
the interests of his four children from
what he believes Is the wifes plan to
favor the second one, Teresa. Evi-
dence of frequent quarrels between the
husband and wife in which Teresa
usually assisted her mother formed a
large part of the testimony.
Unless a compromise is reached the
trial will be resumed tomorrow be-
fore Judge Crow of Santa Barbara.
1t is expected to consume at least all
of the remainder of the week.

that each person give one such flower
to at least one other person in the
