FIRE CAUSES
LOSS OF $500

Fire, which is believed to have orig
mated from gasoline explosion,
shortly after this afternoon, de-
stroyed a portable house in the rear
Of the British-American Mercantile
Company, 229 North Seventh street,
causing a loss estimated at $500. The
, portable houses on the front of the
lot were only slightly damaged.
At the time the fire broke out,
members of the British-American Mer-
camille Company were at lunch. Per-
sons in the vicinity of the building
saw the flames and, after turning in
the alarm, rushed into the office of
the company and succeeded in remov-
ing some Of the furniture from the
menaced building.
Famed by the heavy wind, the
flames enveloped the wooden struc-
ture in the rear of the lot and, despite
quick run by the fire department,
the building was stQtally destroyed.
j. f. Druiff, manager of the Brit
ish-American Mercantile Company, es-
timated the loss at $500.

HOLTVILLE BOY
BEATEN AND ROBBED

Beaten into unconsciousness by Il
hloW from a blunt instrument, Will
liam Lott, 20-year-old son Of ]. d. Lott
Of Holtvile, was robbed yesterday aft
crnoon on the Holtville road at point
within less than , miles of his home.
After the commission of the crime,
his assailants bundled his unconscious
form into the buggy in which he hal
been riding and started the horse to
Iloliville.
Lott, after he had been accorded
medical attention, was unable to re-
late coherent account of the rob
berry. After leaving the house he
had driven to neighboring ranch,
less than mile distant, and after
spending few minutes there. pro-
ceeded in the direction of Holtyille.
He had driven only a short distance
when the attack was made upon him.
The noise Of the rig apparently dead
ened the commotion caused by his
assailants as they clambered into the
back of the buggy and dealt the blow
which rendered Lott unconscious.
Tracks in the road where the crime
was enacted Indicate that after the
blow was struck Lott was dragged
from the buggy into the road, where
his clothes We're searched and where
later he was bundled into the vehicle
and the driverless horse directed to-
ward Holtville.
1t is believed that the assailants.
instead Of leaving their victim prone
on the road, chose this method to
cover up all evidence of their crime.
apparently with the thought that the
horse would take fright at some OH
ject along the road and in the run
away which would follow Lett would
be thrown from the vehicle. thereby
the appearance of an acci-
dent
Lott, after he had recovered con-
sciousness, was unable to remember
any of the Incidents which led up -
the robbery. Beyond the point of
leaving his home, his mind was blank.
Two arrests were made this morning
by Deputy Sheriff Graham, OUT neith-
er OF the men taken into custody were
identified as the men who had COM
mitted the robbery.

to such an extent that the pipe line
would be unable to accommodate the
sewage.
"Few persons are aware of the fact
that an ordinance is in effect in this
city compelling residences within the
corporate limits of the city to be con-
nected with the sewer line. But in
view of the fact that the present sys-
TEN is inadequate to such an extent
that it is incapable of carrying the
sewage of the city, the ordinance has
never been enforced In fact. the
board of trustees has discouraged per-
sons who are desirous of connecting
their homes with the present sewer
line because of fear that the system
will become overloaded"
