ADVICES ARE
RECEIVED REGARDING
DEATH OF DR., GAVIN
Was Found in State of Coma on
the Exposition Grounds BY the
Balboa Guards; Never Re-
nainnh Consciousness
Qained CONSCIOUSNESS.

Further advices have been received
here from San Diego regarding the
death of Dr. Gavin. It seems that he
was taken suddenly i'll and was found
by the Balboa Guards on the grass
a short distance from the hospital on
the exposition grounds. He was i'm
a state of Inconsistencies when he
was found and all efforts to revive
him were useless and he died in a
state of coma According to Dr.. Thorn
as o. Berger, who attended him, the
illness and death was probably
brought on by an attack Of uremic
poisoning. Dr. Gavin was in charge
of the hospital at the exposition at
the time of his death and was evident
ly making his way to that building
when he was stricken down. He
never regained consciousness from
the time that he was found until he
died No further advices as to the
funeral arrangements have been re,
ceiyed. They are awaiting the ar
rival of his mother in San Diego, from
the east, before any arrangements are
completed.

Farm land dealers an through the
valley are having enquiries about the
land
Mr. William Breuuing and Mathew
Dahlberg, of Los Angeles. have filed
on adjoining farms near webb and
win work together in the development
of their farms.
The pumping plant has made it pos
sible for the farmers TO make "a sue
cess on their farms during the past
dry season. There is plenty of water
in the ground and more is seeping in
: fiom the mountains all the time.
There are about fifty pumping plants
that have furnished the water for
these farmers this season These
plants burn a cheap oil, like kerosene
known as tops" and which sells at
McNeal for about seven and a hall
cents a gallon.
Many farmers are planning on put
ting in pumping plants this season
not wishing to be caught by another
dry year All the new comers are
figuring on plants at once.
