Mrs. Sidney Prague, Of Riverside,
Inn, returned Thursday from trip
up the Mississippi to Carrio1a, Ark,
and expresses great delight at the
never-ceasing oppol tunities for new
experiences, as well as new scenery
afforded by this trip on the grand
king Of rivers. The philosophy of the
roustabout, with his quaint humor,
care-free independence and aptitude
at cognominal designation, was a
source of amusement and interest.
The trip was made on the Steamer
America, which carried about $500
bales of cotton as we'll as other
freight, giving an opportunity in it's
numerous landings to witness many
busy scenes along the shore. About
400 negl oes were taken on at one
point, on their way to work at
sugar plantation, cotton picking being
finished. A legenn Of the name Carri-
ola is furnished in the statement that
at this point two sisters were cast in
to the water and lost by the washing
away of the land in the bend Of the
river. Their names were Carrie and
Ola.
Mrs. Prague made the trip with
Mrs. E. L. Watkins, of Los Angeles,
Cal, and Mrs. w. C. Williams, of
New Orleans.

BOLD, BAD BOY PROVES
VERSATILE IN ESCAPES
Floyd Armentrout, Whittier Run
away Not Connected with
Murder of Officer Brooks

AS a result of investigation by De-
tective George Homes, Floyd Armen-
trout, alias Harry Claibourne, alias
Miss Alice Smith, who escaped from
Whittier reform school and was ar
rested in Phoenix, Ariz., in female at
tire, has been eliminated as a suspect
in the murder Of Patrolman David
Brooks.
Armentrout escaped from the Whit
tier school the afternoon of April and
was seen in Los Angeles the same
night. Patrolman Brooks was held up
and shot to death shortly after IL
o'clock the same night.
The sensational escape of Armentrout
from Whittier and his subsequent cap
ture in Phoenix aroused the police de-
partment, and when Detective Homes
was sent to Phoenix to bring Harry
oliver back to Los Angeles to answer
charges of passing false checks he was
instructed to investigate the story con-
Meeting Armentrout with the murder
of the patrolman.
When Homes arrived in Maricopa ne
learned Armentrout had again made
his escape, and a sixteenmile chase in
a hand car resulted in Armentrout be-
ing rearrested. The youth was wanted
in Phoenix on a charge of Vagrancy,
having been arrested in woman Stcloth-
ing He was sentenced to thirty days
in the Florence penitentiary, but slipped
his handouts and escaped.
Although Armentrout answered the
description of the youth who killed Pa
trolman Brooks, it was found that at
the time of the shooting Armentrout
was under arrest in Cotton and in
charge of w. S. Haynes, a Southern
Pacific yard inspector. Armentrout
was arrested at IL o'clock on the night
of the murder and was disguised in a
suit of clothes taken from a scarecroW.
After his escape from Whittier he had
discarded the school uniform and put
on the clothes from the scarecroW. He
was arrested by Officer Haynes at Col
ton.
Appearing hungry and destitute, the
officer took him to a restaurant, and
after the youth had eaten he went to
the rear of the restaurant and made
his escape.
Arriving in san Bernardino he OBJ
tanned work and saved enough money
to purchase the female attire he wore
when apprehended in Phoenix. Detect
i've Homes yesterday received the outfit,
and in the collection is rat" bunch
of false hair, black veil, black picture
hat, black skirt and waist, pair OF
corsets, a corset cover, a pair of Wom-
ems shoes, also pair of black silk
gloves and other apparel dear to the
feminine heart.
His idea in Disgusting himself as a
woman was to get across the Yuma
bridge and dodge the vigilance of Sher-
if Gus Livingston, who is known as
one of the most efficient officers in the
west and a barrier to crooks who at
tempt to leave for the east.
Armentrout will have to serve thir-
ty-day sentence in the Florence peni-
tentiary, and will be returned to Whit
tier school to complete the term there
for which he was sentenced for burg
larry in San Bernardino.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-05-03

the score then stood 13 against exclu-
sion to IA for exclusion. with a long
line of arguments ''at the bat"
The majesty of Vernon was repre-
sented by Trustees P. j. Durham and
]. r. Leonis. They were not called to
testify, but David Dorsey and w w.
Webb, members Of the election board,
testified. The former declared he had
seen no punk ballots.
w. w. Webb, telling of the manner
of handling the ballots at the election,
said:
1--WE would take 'em out, and there'd
be one fur exclusion and another agtn
exclusion. 1 then placed 'em on a
string"
The system was gone over thor
oughly. Nothing was omitted, not even
a description of the barrels and boxes
on which the election board "sot."
The tract in question was being
elected" into the Huntington Park
tract when it was thought the latter
was going to be taken into Los An
geles. Drury and a few others were
against exclusion.
The case was continued by Judge
Moss until Thursday evening at 7:30
o'clock, in view of a rush in damage
suits which will be heard in his court,
now that he has charge Of the jury.

JUDGE DRINKING? NO,
A BEE STUNG HIS NOSE
SummerfieId Puts Bumble Out for
Keeps, but Latter Man.
ages to Land

A crowded court room wondered II
the judge had been drinking. His
nose was red right at the end; yet
his eye was clear and his voice steady.
But the nose! 1t bore the earmarks
of demon rum. (This metaphor is
mixed, but everything of which the
article speaks was miXed)
A timid maiden woman, past 40
seated near the bailiff, made so bold
as to ask that pompous individual if
such were the case. mo num- en-
phatically replied the bailiff. "A bum
blebee bumped him in the snoot." And
thereby hangs a tale.
Judge Summerfield lost his judicial
dignity and the natural color of the
end of his nose Sunday in a battle
with a bumblebee. He was returning
from the Elks' picnic in an automobile
with District Attorney Paul McCor-
mick and Court Reporter ]. H.
Wright. They were in happy frame
of mind when the auto slipped cog
ana quit. They got out. Wright,
who is of a mechanical turn of mind,
was sent accommodating under the
heavy car while the judge and Nc
Cormicll gave advice. Wright fumed
and perspued beneath the car and got
on earth again to cool off.
The sweet soft purr of a bumble-
bee Paulhaning in all the glory of his
youth and Yigor, interrupted council
of war.
"W-w-w-what's that?" asked White,
little beads Of perspiration standing
on his brow.
"a little b-b-bee." suffered the
judge uneasily.
Then Whites his game" cried Nc
Cormick. "A bee stings a man per-
spring quicker than any other time"
"Ha, ha," laughed Judge Summer
Ii n
mark on you all right"
Hardly had he uttered the words
than the bee swerved toward his
honor Judge Summerfield ducked
and slid for first base. The bee came
on. The judge sidestepped and swung
his hat. The battle was on. Judge and
the bee mixed. Mr.. Summerfield struck
viciously with his arms and lid but
missed. Just as his honor was ex-
ecuting a peculiar back and forward
movement a rock in the road, one of
the kind he has sent men to help break
at POISON, took part in the fight.
The judge stepped on, 1ull weight and
all, he sprained his ankle and down
in the dust and dirt of the road his
honor went, uppercutting for the bee.
No sooner had he touched the
ground than the bumblebee bumped
heavily on the end of his nose with all
hands. AS he was inserting his last
prong the judge landed a right to the
jaw and caught the bee foul. He
purred no more; he will sting no
more. Gently, almost slowly, he rolled
over the magistrates cheek and bit the
dust.
Judge Summerfleld, without waiting
to see if he would take the count used
both feet, and the bee BUNDLED no
more. But he had left the trademark
which tradition bequeathed to White
on the judges nose. The bee had
stung an Elk.
Before opening court yesterday
Judge Summerfield told it to the boys.
even before Mccormick and White
had their chance to recount the CORY
battle
