JURY FINDS QUICK VERDICT
IN. THE !. ". v. CASE
Only Twenty Minutes to Determine
That the Four Men Charged With
Horse Stealing Are Guilty

The case generally known as the
| w. w. case, in which T. M. Dod-
son, J. w. Stanford, Erred Niles and
Jim Roberts were charged with grand
larceny, the offense being the steal
ing of four horses from ranchers at
Holtville and vicinity, went to the jury
ir the Imperial county superior court
yesterday afternoon at 4:30, and in
twenty minutes the jury arrived at a
verdict of guilty.
The story put up by the defend
ants that a Mexican known to them
as Juan Lopez" got the horses from
his friends and urged them to accept
them, and that the Mexican disap-
peared after they reached the mouoth
of Devils canyon, was considered SO
transparent as to be ridiculous.
Judge Cole set Monday morning as
the time for sentencing the prisoners.

LOCALIZED MECHANICS.
rhsy Appeared In Official Records In
Colonial Times.

Nicknames are not likely to go out
Of fashion so long as human nature
remains what it is SchOolboys will
nickname each other. collegians will
nickname their professors, and sol
diers will speal; of their commanders
as Hell Fire Bill" Fighting joe" or
what not In these days, however, it
is not customary to spread such titles
upon official records, as was formerly
the habit. according to the archives
of several of our states.
In the Dutch records in 1914 we
have John Petersen. alias Friend
John. In the NewtoWn purchase from
the Indians. dated in 1866. one Of the
boundaries is "ly Dutchmans land
called Hans the Boo"c." and in the
Bushwioll patent. dated Oct. II. 1861.
one of the boundaries is John the
Swede's meadow" In 1895, in the
Kings county records man is named
living at Gowanus rs "Tunis the Fish
err"
The common council Of New York
in 1861 ordered fish to be brought into
the dock "over against the city hall
or the house that Long Mary former
ly lived in" and in the same year an
order was passed that Toplnot Betty
and her children be provided for as
objects of charity"
The explanation of this custom in
many cases was that the persons in
question either had no family name'
or had forgotten thcm, so that the use
of their generally accepted nicknameS
became Il necessity, so numerous
were the Smiths living upon Long Is
land that it was thought necessary to
distinguish the various original fami-
lies by some peculiar name. Thus we
have the Rock smiths, the Blue
Smiths, the Bull Smiths and the
Weight Smiths H"r2ar's Weekly.

Resorcin is one Of the latest and

by science. and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which is goth germicidal
and antiseptic, combination is
formed which destroys the germs

and also creates clean and healthy

vents the develop of new germs.
Pilocarpin is well known agent

due to a disease of the scalp. Yet it
is not coloring matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as stimulant perfects

scalp troubles.
The famous Rexall 1913" Hair" Tonic
is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta
Napthol and Pilocarpin. 1t helps to
make the scalp healthy, to nourish the
hair, to stimulate the follicles. Where
the head is already bare, it enters the
follicles, revitakizes the roots, supplies
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth.

hand where the demand for an ex-
tension of the water main in the rap
idly growing residence district of the
south and southwest is insistent.
At the present time the city has
approximately $50 users of the water
service. There are 349 service con-
nections and more than 100 users who
obtain water through other services
than their own. Service connections
are being made at the rate of fifteen
per month. Three new service con-
nections were made this week The
rapid growth of the residence district
of the south and southwest is bring
ing constant demand for better SER
vice in those districts.
Recently the city water department
has been laying small pipes for tenn
porary service for these districts, but
the plan which the city trustees be-
lieve would be far more economical is
that of laying a ten-inch main from
the pumping station easterly, along
the southern boundary of the city, and
then extending four-inch laterals from
this pipe through the districts men
toned. This would give good service
to that territory and would also safe
guard the city's supply should any
thing occur to put the present main
from the tank out of commission.
1t is probable that the matter of au-
thorizing a bond issue for this pur
pose will be presented to the citizens
by the city trustees soon Estimates
are being made on the cost of the ex-
tensions indicated above
