INNOVATION FOR
JULY FOUTH FETE

Paine's Fireworks Company has
been awarded the contract for pro-
viding the pyrotechnic display for the
big Fourth of July Celebration which

the El Centre fire department.
A rare treat is in store for those
who attend the display. A large SCI
piece, when fired, will show massive
lifelike picture of W. F. Holt, with
the caption, "Father of the Valley"
emblazoned above the picture.

secure a genuine success. There will
be automobile road races also and
many other athletic events.

Ten inmates of the county jail were
taken out on the road gang yester-
day and only six returned, as result
Of desperate getaway Of four long
termers who made dash for liberty,
the following escaping: Frank Ross,
Arthur Austin, W. Z. Van Gunden
and Grant Lemons. Austin was cap
tured some time later one mile east
Of .Silsbee, a farmer who had beea
notified of the escape taking the man
into custody.
Without the knowledge of the sher-
ifs office, Supervisor Arthur Shep-
ard divided the gang into two squads,
placing Oscar Austinreid in charge
of the four who escaped. The other
six were guarded by James Hill, who
has been chaperoning the gang for
some months.
William Van Gunden made his es-
cape and Austinreid pursued him.,
leaving the balance of the prisoners
in charge of the wagon man. While
Austinreid was pursuing Van Gun
den, the other three took advantage
of the occasion to also run away, each
taking a different direction, causing
the guard to become disconnected
Lemons is negro from Calexico and
was pursued for several miles in the
gullies and river bed of New river
in the vicinity of Silsbee, but final
ly managed to elude his pursuer
Three of the escaped men were
sent up from Calexico and it is be-
lieved that they will eventually re-
turn there and cross over to Mexi-
cali, as they were confirmed dope
users, the strain being too much in
Jail, causing them to seek the sooth-
ing drug.
Frank Ross was convicted May %
on a charge of petty larceny and SER
fenced by Justice Hoffman of Calex-
leo to pay fine of $3.50 or serve
the equivalent in the county Jail. Ross
is 25 years of age and constantly
demanded dope when confined in the
Jail.
Arthur Austin is 40 years of age
and had been a barber in Calexico,
when it was discovered that he was
a cocaine user. He was arrested and
quantity of the drug was found in
his possession. Justice Hoffman sem

JUSTICE MAYFIELD
HAS NOVEL SYSTEM

C. H. Smith, who was recently Civ
en- a suspended sentence of ninety
days by Justice of the Peace l. May
field for cruelty whipping his son,
and who later was taken into Gus
tody for disturbance of the peace, has
accepted the ultimatum of the court
and will leave town.
Smith conducts grocery store in
the vicinity of the high school and
is said to be notorious for cursing
and loud talk, so much so that the
neighbors have frequently complained
to the authorities regarding the nui-
sance.
When Smith lashed his boy with 4
whip some weeks ago the affair
caused intense feeling among the
neighbors. At the trial Smith prom
ised to refrain from profand Ian
guage, but according to the complaints
filed he grew more violent than ever,
Justice Mayfield stated that he did
not care to send the man to Jail, as
the two sons would be left without
support, and thought it best to have
the family move to some other To-
cality.

Washington, May 27.-The success
or failure of peace negotiations IS
believed today to rest almost entirely
with General Carranza. The media
tors @nd ENJOYS are practically agreed
to prepare list satisfactory to all
interested or involved of possible can
didates for the provisional presidency
of Mexico and leave it to the Mex
ican congress to choose from the list.
1t is feared, however, it will be i'm
possible to frame list that will suit
everyone. The American and Huer-
tista ENJOYS are reported agreed.
CarranZa, not being represented at
the conference, is an unknown guam
tity. If he approves, there is every
hope of the negotiations succeeding.
If he rejects, failure is proba ability
Carranza will-not be on the list. He
is willing to let his candidacy rest
until the general election. He has. in
timated, however, that every name on
the list must be of men opposed to
the Huerta regime. Bryan is keep.

tions Of the rebel junta here.
