DISCUSS
MAIN Canal
TRANSFER
Directors Not Opposed. But
Wish to Get Sentiments
of the Mutuals.

That there will be a long legal
fight before the Imperial Irrigation
District can complete the transfer of
the so miles of main canals to the
mutual water companies as launched
by the district directors at a recent
meeting is possibility; some of the
directors who have discussed the SUBJ
ject outside the board meetings, how
ever, are inclined to think the oppo-
sition will not be pronounced, and that
few of the districts will be unwilling
to indorse the plan.
Director J. M. Edmunds of Calexico
said yesterday that the matter was by
no means definitely decided upon by
the members of the board. It has
been considered from many angles,
and the directors have been in consul
tations with several of the heads Of
the districts, and so far none of these
were opposed to the transfer.

There is to be one of the old time

Aged Mans Sad Christmas.
(By United Press)

San Francisco, Dec. 28.-In shack
on Bright street today John Mauk sat
alone, trying to forget the saddest
Christmas in his seventy-one years.
Attendants in linen jackets yester-
day led Mauk to chilly back room
in the morgue, where the body of a
woman lay on a slab. The aged man
mumbled something about "Kate,"
worked wedding ring off the dead
hand, kissed it and shuffled out of
the place in tears. The woman was
his wife. Her body was fished out
of the mire of an ocean front swamp
Christmas day.
Half loaf of bread, chicken, a
little salt and Salvation Army
Christmas card lay nearby. The aged
woman had stumbled in the blowing
rain and perished while trying to find
her way home to her husband with a
charity Christmas dinner.
On Christmas, 1906, it was bad
enough for Mauk when the earthquake
and great fire claimed his two daugh'
ters. But yesterday was the bitteres'
of all for him.

tain, Will Bathrum and Earl Snee,
stage drivers of Ell Centre, were ar
rested yesterday by San Diego Off
GERS, following a telephone message
from Deputy Kemp, notifying them to
make the arrest. Stolen hides were
found in their automobile.
The chase followed the discovery
that 27 hides had been stolen from the
abattoir of the Brawley Creamery &
Cold Storage Company, on the New
river bank, southwest of Brawley.
The hides were taken Christmas night
and the loss discovered the next day.
Sheriff Applestill Immediately set
his whole force on the job. Finding
that an automobile laden with hides
had been seen crossing the mountain
grades, he assigned Deputy Sheriff
Kemp to the job of running them down
and he probably would have succeeded
except for breakdown. Telephoning
ahead, he had the San Diego officers
in readiness to nab the pursued men.
