Liberty Bell Is
Viewed at inland

Liberty Bell, the same historic old
bell which played such an important
part in the independence of America,
arrived in inland last night at 7:55
and 80 minutes later the saeeial train
bearing the reVered relic was speed
ing eastward toward Philadelphia.
Sfrewn about the ear on which the
bell was mounted were the flowers
scattered by the thousands of Los An
geles people and the 10000 school chill
dren of that city, who paid homage to
the bell in its triumphal procession
through the city yesterday.
ii Was almost dark when the bell
arrived at inland after its journey
TO the Exposition at San Francisco,
and its tour along the Pacific Coast,
and the attendants and guards who
accompanied the train switched on the
electric lights festooned about the ear
50 that the crowd which gathered at
the depot might see the bell.
The train left inland shortly after
$50 and after a brief stop at Yuma
continued On its return trip.

THEORY THAT MAN
is LOST ON DESERT

Officers today discounted the theory
that the prospector who is reported
10 be wandering on the desert north
west of Brawley without water is lost.
The aged prospector who made his
way to Westmoreland yesterday after
3-day trip across the desert without
water told of the search he and his
partner made for water after they
abandoned their wagon ON the desert,
but officers, after investigation, Incline
10 the theory that the Younger man
simply struck out across the desert and
succeeded in reaching civilization.
Deputy sheriffs said today that a
similar instance of separation ON the
desert between the aged prospector
and his companion had been brought
to their notice some time before, ON
that occasion the prospeetor reported
his companion as lost and deputy sher-
IFS expressed the belief today that
the present instance is similar To the
