young people hurt when an elevator
in the Tajo building in Los Angeles
fell, a few days since, was George

joyable whist pa rty last evening at
the Catholic parish house, under the
auspices of the ladies of the church.
In addition to many gentlemen and la
dies from Ell Cehtro, there were about
q dozen present from Imperial. Dainty

ney Swing today received notice that
The Court of Appeals has affirmed the
decision of the Superior court in the
case of F. T. Harris VS.. County Su-
perintendent of Schools Cooley, sus-
tanning Messrs. Cooley and Swing IN
their attitude when the question of

High School.
Ball Game at Ell CentrO-The Ca
lexico team, holding the lead in the
league, will battle with the Ell Cen
;ro team tomorrow. Calexico has beat
us once and our boys don't figure
she can do it again, particularly with
Hit pitching, as it seems he will do
the twirling for the border town. 1t
is believed Schnider will be. back from
Los Angeles in time to pitch for Ell
Centric. With Bancroft back in the
game, with his batting eye, and "Irish"
Muesel and Alexander batting around
400, to say nothing of Gardner's and
slugging, we ought to
make it decidedly interesting for Mr..
Hit tomorrow.
Christian Bazaar-Everyone is cor
daily invited to attend the bazaar to
be given at the Christian church on
December 5, afternoon and
evening. Come, spend the afternoon,
see the pretty children from Fairy
land with the New Woman who lives
in the shoe. Examine the many dain-
ty and useful articles Of needlework
for Christmas gifts, have afternoon
tea or remain for supper at o'clock.
Anyone having articles of needlcwork
or parcels post packages for the ba-
zaar, please leave them at the home
of Mrs. Sprouse, next door to the
church, not later than Thursday, De-
cember 3.
Jail Not POpular-The county Jail
is losing it's popularity among the
present inmates, and all because the
board of supervisors purchased a Jail
road wagon. In the past prisoners
have been allowed to serve their SEN
tences behind the bars of the CASTLE
and unmarried by the trials
and tribulations of the outside world,
but new regime will begin shortly.
The new wagon will soon be assem-
bled and county boarders will enjoy
the privilege of constructing and i'm
proving Imperial Valley roads. An
tonic Alvarado was the first to rebel
at the impending calamity when he
in Superior Judge Wilbur's
court this morning and asked to be
allowed to complete his two-year SEN
tcnce in San Quentin penitentiary
Alvarado didn't give any reason for
asking to be transferred, but it is gen
orally understood he is only one Of
the many who are feeling apprehen-
sive over what the next few weeks will
hold forth in the WaV of work.
