Be Leading Fence of County

Sheriff Applestill is very indignant
over the attack made on Deputy Nc
Cormick and intends to vigorously
prosecute the case.
Deputy Mccormick today bore ply
steal testimony as to the power of
Mrs. Bassi's fist.
r. C. Greth, manager of the I'M
perial Valley Auto Company, swore
to the complaint against Bassi Mr..
Greth discovered some stolen property
in the possession of Bassi and Sc
cured the search warrant that enabled
the officers to make the arrests.
Mr.. Greth stated today that this
fence was responsible for numerous
thefts of auto parts in the Valley anc
that if the fence had not been in ex
listence there would have been fewer
reports of missing articles.
Imperial Valley press., 1917-01-27

Dietrich is merely held as a witness,
as it is said Gilbert attempted to sell
some auto parts to Dietrich.
Sheriff Applestill stated this morn
ing that he believed there were large
quantities of stolen goods cached
around the Bassi store and he now
has officers making searches. He de-
sires the public to visit the second
hand store of Bassi and endeavor to
identify articles which may have been
sold to Bassi.
In the stock kept by Bassi are
quantities of harness, saddlery, bug
gies, tires, auto parts and miscel-
laneous lot of junk usually found in
establishments of that kind.
The sheriff has had Bessi's place
under surveillance for some weeks
and stated this morning that other
arrests were likely.
Imperial Valley press., 1917-01-27

ATTORNEY holland IS
MAKING DETERMINED
EFFORT FOR JACKSON

A determined fight is being made
by Attorney Dan V. holland to KEEP
Thomas Jackson from serving a jail
sentence or paying fine. Jackson
was recently convicted on a charge
of cutting C. L. Rolls with razor,
the jury recommending mercy at the
hands of the judge when setnence was
imposed.
After conviction Jackson made ap-
plication for probation, this being de-
MED this morning by Judge Cole. The
motion for new trial was also de-
MED on the grounds that application
had not been made within the statu-
tory time. Attorney holland then
notified the court that the case would
be appealed to the District Court of
Appeals.
Jackson's application for probation
did not receive recommendation at
the hands of Probation Officer A. w.
Swanson. Mr.. Swanson reviewed the
case and attached letters to his re-
port, leaving the matter entirely up
to the court.
In pronouncing sentence the court
referred to the age of Jackson and
his previous actions, but said that he
could not overlook the fact that
razor had been used. The court men,
toned that the complaint might pos
sibly have been of lesser charge
simple assault-but owing to the fact
that the jury had convicted upon the
evidence adduced, he could do nothing
else than give judgment.
Jackson was sentenced to pay a
fine of 5000, in default of which he
was to be imprisoned in the county
Jail for a period of 100 days. Notice
of appeal acts as a stay of judg-
ment.

Court Has Scathin@ Remarks
For Earl Snee and Buttran1
Who Were Granted Probation
Judge Pefaces Judgment With Hopeessnessof Youths
Who Have Had Advantages of Good Homes to Become
Delinquents Tells Defendants That Is Out of Consid
Grafton for Respectable Parents That Lenency Shown

Earl Snee, aged %, and J. w. But
tram, aged 25, convicted on a charge
of stealing hides in Brawley, were
sentenced to two years each this
morning, but an order for probation
was entered.
Judge Cole reprimanded both young
men, particularly Buttram, and let
it be known that it was not in con-
sideration of the defendants that he
was being lenient, but rather due to
the respect he had for Snee's father
and the confidence he had in But
tram's father.
The conditions imposed in the pro.
baton order in each case are most
drastic. Judge Cole told each that if
they could not live up to the restric-
tions for two years there would be
no hope for them in the future.
The court told young Snee that he
heAu hHO"H "A. q. oIcc-JHc DOy 5
father-for a long time, and knew
of the difficulties which had con-
fronted that parent in bringing up
his family. He said that it was only
out Of respect for the father that he
was granting the probation.
In Buttram's case the court was
even more severe in his remarks. He
told that youth that he had had the
advantages of a good home, good
surroundings and fine parents. but
with all of these he had been unable
to keep out of trouble. Buttram is
to be placed under the care of his
father and not again take up the vo-
cation of stage driving.
Probation Officer Swanson has Sc
cured a position for Snee.

COLONIZATION FOR
NORTH END FARM LANDS

H. H. Clarks, general manager and
agent for the Imperial Valley Farm
Land Association, who have the A.
O00-acre holdings in the north end of
the Valley and who were responsible
for the two townsites of Calipatria
and inland, has made extensive prep
arations for the colonization of the
farm lands under his jurisdiction.
This farm lands association have cut
up Sections II, 21 and 20, 1918 into
forty-acre tracts and have made ar
rangements to colonize this land with
German and Swedish people,. as it is
the desire of the association to have
only the best kind of people in the
North End, and it is we'll known
fact that there are no better farm
ers than these same thrifty German
and Swedish settlers, who are thor
oughly Industrious and reliable.
The new belt line railroad passes
through Section 21, which, of course,
is close to II and 20, and, with the
excellent railroad facilities thus af-
forded and with the class of farm
ers who will settle here, this without
doubt will be made a very desirable
colony and district that will become
we'll known for the size and quality
of the crops produced.
