w. f. Holt Explains Deal
For Imperial Valley Lands

Redlands, Dec. CIV. F. Holt said
at MS home here that a deal has not
yet been completed whereby he had
sold all his holdings in the valley
lie said that the deal had been pend
ing Tor several weeks, but that it has
not yet been concluded, and de
cision will probably not be made for
week on ten day.
The option held by the Nevada
California Electric Corporation, rep
resented by Leros Chappelle, did eX-
pire, but was taken up again imme-
diately, said Mr.. Holt. The main Of
fices of the company are in Denver
the men interested all live there and
it viii probably be some time next
week before the directors Of the COM

Valley League
Passes Away

It's come at last. The expected has
happened. Well, not altogether eX-
pectcd, but a few had a presentmcnt
that something was coming off, and
it did. League directors met yestel-
day afternoon and after a Drotracted
conference. i'm which the league WAS
discussed from every angle, the death
certificate was signed. Emaciated
gate receipts, acute financial indiges-
ton and an aggravated case Of lack
of public interest are responsible for
death.
Moribund symptoms have been APP
parent for some time to those who
have been intimate with the internal
working Of the league. The public
interest began to Wane some weeks
ago. The support of enthusiastic
fans who pledged themselves TO at
tend the games and lend their moral
and financial support, mas not been
forthcoming. Instead, the directors
Of the league have had to contend with
some fans who persist in draDing
themselves over the left field fence to
avoid the admission assessment.
SO the treasury has lanPuished.
However, II Is not bankrupt. Neither
is It so badly depleted that all bills
will not be paid promptly The play
ers are to receive their salaries for
the time they have played and trans
portation to Los Angeles, if they de-
sire it, will be provided by the league.
When the last out is made in the
game here between Imperial and the
Barristers, Christmas. and the last
out is made at Brawley, where the
Pirates and CaleXico play on the same
day, there will be no tolling of bells
or Haunting Of crepe. But the league
will have passed peacefully away for
1915.
The players of the teams had been
consulted prior to the dishanding of
the league, agreeing at that time that
the action of the directors was the
best move under the circumstances.

RANCHERS FREED OF
SMUGGLING CHARGE

As a SEQUEL to the arrest, Tuesday
evening, of what customs officers be-
lieve to be an organized ring of snug
glers. 3 of the Mexicans arrested in
the wholesale seizure Of suspects
were charged with receiving stolen
property. and others were charged
with grand larceny, ON 2 counts, in
complaints issued by the district at
torney late yesterday afternoon.
The . Americans, l.. c. Williams
and Bob Baretta. arrested at the same
time. were released yesterday after
noon. Evidence developed that Will
liams had been an unwilling tool in
the hands of the smuggler-thieves,
having bought the cattle, which were
first stolen from ranchcrs in Mexico
and then smuggled across the line into
the valley.
Baretta, it was stated ut the dis
