contact with the main Austrian line.
Though the Austrians had concentrated
their cavalry they were unable to stop

Monday they were forced to give battle

TRACY ESCAPES
FROM ROAD GANG

S. M. Tracy, who pleaded guilty to
charge of petty larceny in connec-
ton with the theft of numerous ar
ticles from local drug store, and who
received a sentence of ninety days
at the hands of Justice of the Peace
1. Mayfeld, escaped from the "chain
gang" Tuesday and has departed for
parts unknown.
Tracy had applied for probation,
but on account of his previous record
the same was denied. Tracy was then
selected as one of the gang to work
on the county ditches and roads.
About the time the men were ready
to quit work Tuesday evening Tracy
made his escape while the guard and
County Supervisor Arthur Shepard
were discussing some work for the
next day. A thorough search was
made for the missing man, but no
trace as yet has been found. .

HEAVY VOTING LIST
BRAWLEY-IMPERIAI
REGISTRATIONS
CITY ELECTIONS

At the city elections held on Mon
day, April IS, total of SLOT votes
should be cast, according to the reg
istration in the different cities. Ell
Centre leads the list with 1,575, di-
vided into Ell Centric North, 1,030,
and Ell Centro South, 545; Imperial
North, 4S9, and Imperial South, 694,
total of 1888; Brawley South, 638,
and Brawley North, 448, total of
1856; Holtville, 673, and Calexico,
$50.
Unusual registration took place in
the Brawley district on account of the
hot fight on the liquor question. Prac-
tically every qualified voters name
is on the registration book and the
issue is expected to be fought to the
finish. Imperial also produced a heavy
registration-far in excess of what
it would have been had the wet and
dry fights not been in existence.
Ell Centric is far ahead in popula-
ton, the total of 1875 indicating that
at least one more thousand names will
be added before the fall election. AS
there are no clearly-defned issues in
this city, naturally the. registration
would not be so heavy in proportion
as in Imperial and Brawley.

YOUNG MEXICAN
ACTED HASTILY

City Marshal Carl Iiams of CalexA

of age and the authorities were puz.

ster. 1t was finally decided to lock
him in the jury room. This was
done, the boy apparently being satis-
fed with his new surroundings.
When the officers opened the door
soon afterwards to take a look at
the 'kid," the room was empty and
the Mexican gone. The Calexico of
ficials were communicated with, as it
is believed that the boy walked back
to his home. as
He is only trifle over three feet
high. The charge against him is var
led in character. The boy was at
tentive to Mexican girl and when
the father demonstrated the lae
threatened to burn the house down
unless he could court his sweetheart
