JAP'S WIFE GONE
AFTER AL|MONy
IS PAID TOFR|END
REV. N|sH|MURA
Domestic Affairs of Saka-
moto Family in Brawley
Very Much Tangled.
JAP PREACHER t.
EXPLAIN MATTERS
Wife Says Divorce Was OBJ
tanned in Frisco Judge
Orders Alim0ny Paid.

Whether it is a case of swindling
tr merely the result of several mis-
understandings will be determined up
on the arrival here of J. Nishimura,
Japanese preacher located at Braw-
ley, who accompanied the wife of D.
Sakamoto to San Francisco, where she
is said to have secured divorce.
Sakamoto's wife desired to visit
Japan and her husband being unable
to leave Brawley, Mrs. Sakamoto was
placed in Nishimura's charge. Rev.
Nishimura was to escort his friend )
wife to San Francisco and there see
that she was on her way to her an
cestral home.
From reports received, it is learned
that Nishimura returned to Brawley
and informed Sakamoto that his wife
had secured a divorce in San Fran
cisco and that the Judge had decreed
alimony to the amount of $500 should
lie paid TO Mrs. Sakamoto. Sakamoto
paid over the $500, it is said, the
Japanese preacher returning to San
Francisco.
AS it is legally impossible for any
one to secure divorce within one
week in the State of California, this
feature was brought to the attention
of the deserted husband, who commu-
nicated with the county authorities. 1t
was learned today that friends of
Nishimura have promised to produce
the preacher at any time the county
officials demand his presence. 1t is
understood that he will appear before
District Attorney Nichols some time
today and offer explanations regard
irg the mystery.
Nishimura is said to be Japanese
mission preacher of excellent repu-
tation and is held in high esteem by
his countrymen in the valley. In the
event that Nishimura has connived to
accomplish a fraud, the prosecution Of
the case will be difficult, owing to
the fact that it will be necessary to
evtradite Mrs. Sakamoto from Japan.

COYOTE TACKLES
AUTO AND IS
RUN OVER
Rancher WorthingtOn Has
Race With Fleet-foOted
Animal Which Loses Out

Demonstration of the speed of a
coyote was given yesterday when T..
j. Worthington ran over one with his
auto. Mr.. Worthington was coming
10 Ell Centre from his ranch when the
coyote appeared in front Of his ma
chine and like flustered hen, kept in
the middle of the road.
The motor was speeded until occa-
sional glances behind assured the driv-
cr that no traffic officer was in sight
ana the foot worked overtime on the
accelerator. But, at that, Mr.. Coy
cite maintained safe lead in front.
With final burst of speed the car
shot ahead and the coyote was crump-
lee and killed. Upon examination of
the carcass, it was found that Mr..
Coyote was comfortably filled with
chicken.
