The Garden City Restaurant was the
| scene Sunday evening of a small race
| riot in which one lone American rout-
| ed some ten MeXicans. 1t seems that
! some drunken Mexicans had taken the
| restaurant into their own hands for
| the evening, when a stranger came in
! and ordered his dinner. While waiting
| for his meal to be served the man
| found that the gentlemen from across
| the border were trying to modest him.
Soon a rough house" was started and
! was not ended until the American had
| cleared the house of the Mexicans. The
! weapon used in his house cleaning op-
Grafton was a heavy chair, which was
last seen about the neck of one of
| the fleeing MeXicans.
| This week Supervisor r. f. Wills
started an outfit of men and teams OH
the Mesquite lake road, that missing
| link between Brawley and the country
to the southwark, only a short distance
away, but which, for all practical pur.
| poses, might have been on the other
| side of the moon, owing to lack OF
road communication. Mr.. Wills prom
| ises to place this road in first class
condition imm ediately. Another road
on which work will be done is that
| connecting with the north end running
past the Stanley ranch. 1t was plann d
to complete this road across New river
| from No. to a point near the north
! end dam last winter, but high wa
ter prevented construction work across
the river bottom. Now conditions are
such that Mr.. Wills thinks the road
can be built.
! j. p. Baker, who has 20 acres OF
pink beans planted on his ranch nortl
of Brawley, believes that he has found
one of the most profitable crops thai
can be planted in the Imperial valley
His beans are heavily laden and al
present prices should net very hand
some profit. Frank Long, whose rancf
adjoins Mr.. Bakers, has - acres ot
beans planted. They will soon b.
ready to harvest. The bean crop cal
be raised following a cantaloupe o,
barley crop will improve the soil a
well as make handsome return
Beans have been Stunned previously
! because of lack of harvesting facili
i ties, but A. S. Golberg is thoroughly
i familiar with threshing beans and will
purpose.
