him, but no copy of his defense, or
of the letter on which he based the
action against him. This, of course,
was purely one-sided affair and as

TWO ROBBED
 IN EARLY MORN
Arrests Are Promptly Made in Connection With First Affair and Identification of One Prisoner is Posi- lively Made by Victim

Two bold holdups were reported to
 the police within very few minutes oI each other about one o'clock this morning, but between the receiving or the report of the first and that of the second one of the men participant ing in the first was apprehended and positively identified as being the companion of the other Both sus- poets were locked up in the police station and had hardly been booked before another man rushed into the police station, his mouth bloodied and his clothing covered with dirt and told of having been beaten and rob bed near the new pOstoffice building B. M. Evans of San Francisco repre- senting the Sunset Feather company and at present a guest at the Hotel Adams was the first victim. and ac- cording to his story he was relieved of fifty dollars by two men. one of whom he thinks pointed a gun in his face while the other made him give up his cash. Having secured his money, his assailants directed him to lie down in an alley beside a gar bage can, threatened him with fur ther violence if he made an attempt to follow them Or raise an Outcry All this happened on North Central avenue near the home of Isaac T. Stoddard.
 When Evans finally reached teIe- phone, he called the police station and gave good description of the men. Motorcycle Policeman MorreH made a quick run to the scene and from the description finally rounded up Pete Davis and Dick Purcell. both of whom have police records. the latter having once been arrested on suspicion of having started a number of incendiary fires. Evans positively identified Davis as one of the men and said he felt pretty certain Pur- cell was his companion. When ar rested Purcell was found carrying a pair of heavy pliers which in the darkness might have been mistaken for a gun.
 Wesley Willis arrived at the police station just before two o'clock and reported having been beaten and rob bed of several dollars near the fed eraI building. The police immediately began a search for his assaiIants.

BANQUET-DANCE
 TOPS 0FF DAY
And Members of Coyotes Squad Are InWardly Ap- peased for Dark Defeat Handed Them by Alumni During Afternoon

Verbally in honor of the Coyotes and literally in gIoating over the Coyotes. the Alumni and their guests gathered in the Cafeteria of the high school yesterday evening for the long looked for banquet. The men of the two foot ball teams who so valliently fought for their respective organizations, the members of the teaching force of the high and the truste es of the school were the guests of the Alumni organi- zatiOn for the evening. There were in all about 150 present, among them as representatives of the Alumni organi- zation some of the best known mon of the state.
 The banquet began promptly at & o'clock. and while the high school band furnished music for the diners. a five course dinner was served. Following the banquet, addresses were delivered Sidney P. Osborn, president of the Alumni organization was the toast master, and he introduced in turn Pro- lessor A K. StabIer. Chapin Hall Of the Gazette, Eugene Brady O'Neil of the board of trustees; Alex Baker Coach Geary, Professor Claude D Jones and Miss Laura Swan, of the high school force.
 Featurlng the banquet ana the spirit of the high, was the fact that twelve of the fellows, and a s many of the girls of the Coyotes supporters volunteered their services as walters and tendered the wants of their hungry warriors and their entertainers. They did this for one purpose, that the Alumni might be spared all the expense possible, and that the banquet might still be a great success.
 While the plates were being placed. Ralph Johnson. accompanied by the orchestra, members of the high. sang for the entertainment of the visitors songs much similar to those which were pulled at the last jolly-up and which brought the house down with applause.
 The banquet over all present ad- journed to the hall where with the high school orchestra still on duty. dancing was indulged in till the advent of Sun day put an end to the jolly affair The music of the orchestra was more than excellent and too much credit cannot be accorded it's members for their loyal work in supporting the high and the alumni.

from destruction during the cold
wave-and the smoke had lot
to do with the saving.
The actual process is called
"smudging." When asked what
he meant by sfnudgnig a fruit
grower once replied
''It means literally heating all
outdoors" :"
The heating is accomplished
with small sheet iron box-shaped
furnaces or braziers that are
called smudge pots. Crude oiland
coal are both used in these pots,
but most of them burn oil, be-
cause it is cheaper, in California
at least.
The pots are set in rows in the
orchards and the coal or oil is
lighted. This causes a smoke
which gradually forms blanket
that hangs over the trees. The
cold upper air has difficulty in
penetrating this blanket.
It was. once thought that any
thing that would create smoke
would dothe work. This has since
been disproved, and it is now the
endeavor of the smudging crew
to get a combination of heat and
smoke. The heat is held under
the smoke blanket-and the
blanket of smoke is held UP by the
heat.

be maintained by this process. /
