AGED MAN SEEKS
son AT BRAWLEY

Brawley News: Somewhere be-
tween San Diego and Brawley John
Brooks, Ga years of age, is slowly
making his way. He was tried in po-
lice court yesterday on the charge Of
begging, but presented such pitiful
and helpless spectacle that Judge
Peterbaugh extended mercy to him,
says the San Diego Union.
Testimony showed beyond a doubt
that the old man had begged on the
street. When he was taken in to Jail
after being searched it was found
that he had concealed three nickels
and dime in his mouth. Brooks
says he suffered a stroke of paralysis
four years ago, and on that account
has been unable to work at the
machinist trade. He is unable to con-
troll his right arm, which shakes vio-
lently. He told the judge that he
lived over twenty-eight years in
Chico, California, but was endeavor-
ing to reach his son, who is employed
at Brawley.
"Id be on my way there now if
were free," said Brooks.
Questioned as to how he expected
to get there, he said he would walk
He expected, he said, to earn suffi.
cient money by doing chores and
light work along the road to pay foi
his meals, and as for bed, he said
he needed none, if the ground were
dry.
Brooks was given his three nickels
and dime and walked out of the court
I room.

Builders Busy In
Business Section

The building operations have not
been causing any sensations Of late,
and unless one stops to check up the
work in hand it may be thought Ell
Centre is not amaking great growth
this season. AS matter of fact, how
ever, many gaps are being steadily
filled and the business district is
steadily reaching out, there being
under construction at this time no less
than 29O feet of business frontage, or
the equivalent of almost an ordinary
business block, while there are a num-
Der of other projects about to be put
under way and a, few have already
been finished. The combined 'front.'
age of this seasons building will un-
doubtedly greatly exceed that of any
previous year. tp
This morning G. D. Armstead stat
ed that his building on the corner of
Fifth and Broadway would be contin-
ued through to occupy the entire
frontage of 14O feet, giving a solid
frontage facing the Oregon hotel from
the west.
Father Schmidt's building just east
of the Keystone garage, is we'll ad-
vanced, as are the buildings of the
Jones Investment Company on Sixth
street, Mrs. Hart, adjoining the post
office on the west, the True Vencil
and Allen & Allen buildings and the
Duman building on Main between
Fifth and Sixth streets.
With other buildings erected this
season thus far, this adds about $50
feet frontage to the business district
and it is not improbable that by the
coming of warm weather again, when
building tends to lapse,, the season
will put up a record Of close to 1000
feet frontage.
Every building is occupied as soon
as completed, and. there seems to be
no lack of firms to engege in bust
ness here, while the rapid growth
gives an increase in business to war.

Tells Good Yar,,
o., bob" Clemens

A good story is printed in the Louis
vile Herald about Bob" Clemens,
formerly of Clemens, but more recently
OF Bows. and now a pitcher for the
Louisville team Clemens toured the
country for time last year with the
Chicago Cubs. and it was while he was
on one Of these tours that this incident
| is said to. have happened. The Herald
says:
Bob" Clemens, at present a member
OF the Louisville hurting staff, toured
this country with the Chicago Cubs for
brief spell last summer. Hence the
following yarn that was told by Charley
Dryden, one Of the war correspondents,
yesterday afternoon.
"'We We're booked to play an exhibit
ton game in New jersey late last sum-
mer and had to use ferry boat be-
tween Camden and one OF the other
towns there said Dryden. I was
standing at the railing between Glenn
ons and Jimmy Lavender. Finally
Clemens asked What river is this?'
~ told him that 1t was the Delaware
river. l also mentioned that it was the
one that George Washington crossed
one time to beat up bunch of British
ers at Trenton. l remarked that it was
very historic river and all that. In
a few minutes Clemens turned to me
! and asked another question. He said:
/ What did you say that guys name was
that crossed this river?'"
Those who know Bob" Clemens say
that he always was inquisitive, and that
the question asked was Just like him"
! Bob" is the son of Mrs. Martha
Clemens, widow of Henry p. Clemens,
who was in business at Clemens for a
great many years. Mrs. Clemens lives
in Bows now. Bob" is a cousin of
Vern Clemens, who has also broken
into the big leagues and is a catcher on
