STAGE DRIVER is
VICTIM OF BURGLAR

Five Hindus vino live on an adjoin-
ing ranch Christmas eve broke into
the home of A. 0. McShane, a stage
operator who lives south of town, and
stole a supply Of groceries he had
bought for Christmas, so McShane
told deputy sheriffs yesterday. Nc
Shane and his family were away from
home early in the evening. When
they came back the groceries were
gone.
Suspecting the Hindus, he said, he
placed a watch. and left the house.
He had been gone only a short time
when one of the Hindus came up to
the house and knocked on the door.
When no one answered. the Hindu
threw his weight against the door.
Failing to open it, he struck a match
and ueered into the screened porch.
Mrs McSshane and her daughter,
who were hidden in the house, became
frightened at the evident determina-
tion Of the Hindu to get in. Their
screams attracted the attention Of
neighbors and the Hindu fled.
McShane will. seek to obtain a
search warrant to obtain his stolen
groceries.

TEN will give direct connection of un-
doubted commercial value between Los
Angeles and the valley. When COM
pleted it will no longer be necessary
for the automobile or truck to make
the circuitous journey via San Die
go.
The commissioners believe the rapid
development in Imperial Valley and of
Coachella Valley will be stimulated
and aided by a paved highway con-
Meeting with this city, their natural

terry from Los Angeles through Riv-
erside and San Bernardino counties
to the Coaehella and Imperial valleys
and eastward to Yuma and the trans
continental route.
