OCCUPIED R. R. CAR:
TEN DAYS COUNTY JAIL

Henry Grossman and Jack Spillane
were brought to the county Jail this
morning from Imperial Junction and
booked for the next ten days on
charge of trespassing. The two men
had come from the west on freight
train and occupied their quarters for
the night while the side-door Pullman
was sidetracked at the Junction.
This is all contrary to the rules of
the Southern Pacific company, also
in violation of a county ordinance,
consequently Andy Pruitt, who works
for the railroad as special officer,
requested the men to accompany him
to justice of the peace who thought
the matter over and then said:

TAG DAY SATURDAY
TO AID ST. MARY'S

In order to help with the many ex-
penses attached to the building and
furnishing of the new Catholic church
and parish house, the ladies Of the
congregation have decided. to have a
Tag Day on Saturday, February. 21.
A number of attractive young ladies
will be on Main and other streets of
Ell Centre selling tags, and it is hoped
that everyone will avail himself Of a
tag. The tags, will ibes sold for any
amount your choose 70 give, and when
tag is attached to your Coat give as
liberal an offering as you can.
A new church has been recently
completed at a great expenditure and
an appeal is made to all public-spirited
citizens to contribute small amount
to help liquidate the debt incurred.
The first Catholic church in Ell Cen
tro's early days was in small room.
The growth of the city and increased
population demanded better housing
and more commodious structure, but
of temporary nature, and the church
was moved to the frame building on
Orange street. No one has better kept
abreast of the progressive movement
of the valley than the parishioners of
the Catholic church here, and their
latest achievement in the building of
their fine new church and parish house
is one of which surely every Ell Cen
tro citizen should be proud.
