Philadelphia, July 21.-Conducting a

have established Chinatowns in every

Pistol Battle Results In
One Slight Flesh Wound

There was a pistol battle mile
least of town this morning that re-
suited in Tom Dublin receiving 4
slight flesh wound in the hip.
1t ir stated that w L. Richardson
had let to Geo. Southard the con-
tract to grade some land and the con-
tractor had failed to pay the labor
crs, who demanded their money of
Richardson. The latter claimed he
lad NO right to pay them, and this
morning seven of the men called in
q body and repeated their demand
telling Richardson that he must pay
them then, and Richardson claims the
men advanccd on him under the lead
of Tom Dublin, the latter making a
move to use.-as pistol, whereupsr
Richardson threw chair at him.
Dublin threw it back and retreated
from the shack to take shelter be-
hind an automobile, from which the
two men exchanged a number OF
shots, but without very serious eff
feet.
Later Dublin was arrested and is
being held for trial, but at the sher-
ifs office it is thought possible all
the facts have not been brought to
light, and that the trial may develop
IG different phase of the story.
The warrant on which the wounded
man vas arrested was sworn out be-
fore Justice Mayfield, and the arrest
was r'ade by Constable Toney, but the
latter says that all the bullet holes
in the house he could find went from

u. S. CATTLE TO END
SHORTAGE IN BEEF

Washington, July 21.-Basing their
calculations on the market reports of
former years, the crop reporting bu-
eau of the department of agriculture
today said the present shortage in
beef cattle will be relieved by Octo-
ber though domestic shipments.
Under the new tariff law, there has
been considerable fresh meat import
ed, AL Of which has been consumed
along the seaboard, most of it in New
York City itself. There has been only
spasmodic importations of beef cattle
however.
If the Mexican revolution is cuieted
between now and fall the way will be
opened for tremendous imports of
Mexican cattle. Shipments from Can
ada, Uruguay and Argentina also are
expected.

Once more the question of the
presence of a petroleum field in this
valley is raised by H. l.. Snodgrass
and his associates, who claim to have
found evidences of the presence Of
Gil at point twenty miles east of
Holtville.
There have been repeated efforts
to develop an oil territory west of the
valley, and the seepages of hydro
carbon gases at numerous points and
the presence of sulphur springs anu
the mud "vocanos" have tended to
confirm in the minds of everybody
familiar with the subject that some-
where in this vicinity there is body
of oil-bearing rock.
Still another thing that tends to
confirm this belief is the fact that
this valley is in line with the great
strike of oil-bearing territory which
leads from the northwest to the south
east.
In the valley proper the great de-
posit of silt has 500 hidden the ma
tive rocks that it has been impos-
sible to make geological study of
the conditions, and no testimony has
been borne as to the exact location
Of the pay streak.
Mr.. Snodgrass states that while To-
eating agricultural land east of Holt.

San Francisco, July 21.--ln addi-
tion to the $1,096,000 diverted from
the funds of the United Railroads to
the Solano Irrigated Farms Company
by Patrick Calhoun, former president
Of the United Railroads, it developed
today before the state railroad COM
mission that between 1911 and 1913
more than $1,000,000 was withdrawn
from the company's treasury and, in
the belief of Thornwell Mutually, as
sistaat to Calhoun, went to Calhoun's
personal account.
The orders for these Withdrawals
were written by Mullally at the ver-
bal direction, he said, of President
Calhoun.
"Where would you STOP" asked Com
missioner Edgerton, "ir obeying the
directions of Calhoun"
81 wouldn't do what wasn't right -
Laughter followed the reply.
The number of Withdrawals made
ard their exact total did not appear
from the testimony given, but ques-
tions put by Commissioner Edgerton
indicated that they had followed each
other at intervals, sometimes, of not
more than two days.
~ never received, Landed or drew
any money! said Mullally. 81 simply
authorized drafts under Mr.. Calhoun's
instructions.
"You never handled dollar?"
mo, sir. never saw any mon
ey."
"How did the treasurer come to
have paid out the money!"
II don't know, but | believe he must
have had all understanding with Mr..
Calhoun"
"D:d you or any other director ever
inquire of Mr.. Calhoun how much
money had been withdrawn by him
up TO 1872"
"Not that | know Of"
"Why not?"
"A' assistant to the president with
drawals of money were Of no official
interest to me-"
"Do you remember attending q
meeting Of the board of directors, at
which a resolution was passed author
ling Mr.. Calhoun to withdraw mon-
eys 1T his pleasure and in his discre-
ton ?"
MI. Mutually did not remember, bui
since his signature appeared on the
minutes of the directors he presumed
he must have been in attendance.
81 don't want to answer in this way,
offhand, under OATH" he added, when
pressed.
"Do you remember a shareholders
meeting in which you sat, represent
ing four shares of common stock, and

With Fall of Colorado
Bed is Secured Low

Now that the water of the Colo
rado river is declining to normal flow
there is raised the question of bring
ing water into the valley in the large
quantity required, with the bed of the
river secured low by the flood.
During the flood the river cut a
deep channel back from the intake and,
while the silting-up process is going
on slowly, it is an open question
Imperial Valley press., 1914-07-21

whether this will take place rapidly
enough to enable the full flow to be
maintained into the valley.
This is a condition that arises an
nually following the flood condition,
and probably will continue to arise
annually until the system is connect
ed with Laguna dam or some other
project is worked out to control the
inflow of water.
