BOXING CONTINUES TO
Be ENGAGING SUBJECT

The Imperial Athletic Club is maxi
ing arrangements to hold the banner
crowd Friday evening, when Joe Fer
no makes his second appearance in
the local ring. His clean and de-
icisive victory two weeks ago over the
lcolored boy, Bill Jackson, made him
many friends among the local fans
and they are anxious to see him get
a real tryout. A telegram from Don
Gritten, the San Diego promoter,
states that he, himself and party will
arrive here Thursday with Moore, the
pride of San Diego. Moore has de-
feated all the boys of his weight in
Southern California and his friends
are anxious to see how he shapes up
with the San Francisco boy.
The battle royal should prove a
great treat, as this will be the first
put on in the Valley and Manager
Stewart has secured some of the best
lcolored boys. Among the five who
will participate are Bari Pearl, Kid
Cooley, Bill Jackson and Dynamite
Madison, all of whom have donned
the mitts in public before. Joe Dali
ley, who boxes Red Parnell, is work.
ing out with ole Ferro and is setting
hot pace. Look out for him.

PUTS ONE OVER WITH
BORDER POLICE CHEF

For unadulterated nerve and real
'sportsmanship, that will take chance
under any and all conditions, the au-
tomobile thief is to be commended,
says the Calexico Chronicle.
The most striking example of his
daring was shown yesterday, when
ne pulled off a stunt under the eyes
of the chief of police, his brother and
Officer Loflin. The White Star ga
rage is loser to the extent of the
value of a ne wtire and rim from
one of their machines, and it is
value of a new tire and a rim from
grace when he discovered the loss.
"That was certainly the darnedest
thing I ever saw" said Chief of Po-
lice Kemp. can officer naturally
comes into contact with criminals
very often, but that's the first time
in my experience that 1 ever sat and
watched a thief at work, without be-
ing in any way interested, or when
l wasn't watching for him.
"The boys and I were sitting in
my automobile on First street, at Hef-
fernan avenue, and noticed the White
Star auto stage standing on the op-
posite side of the street, in front
of Zuckerman Bros store.
II saw a couple of fellows come
up after while, look the stage auto
over, feel of the tires and one thing
and another, but I didn't pay any
attention to him, supposing one was
the driver of the car. One did all
the work and the other just looked
on.
"He raised one of the cushions, and
got the jack, putting it under the
back axle and raising it off the
ground. Then he got out the tools
and proceeded to take off the tire and
the rim.
Leaving the machine lacked up,
he deliberately wheeled the tire away,
carrying the rim. We were just
waiting there, for a half-hour or so,
and I got to watching the fellow at
work, admiring the skill he showed in
removing the tire. But I was sure
surprised when the White Star man
showed up, five minutes after the
thief left, and discovered his loss"
IT is difficult to trace the thief. but
the officers will try. Meanwhile the
chief says any owner who is not per-
sonally known to him will be running
a risk to even crank up Ford on
the street without being ready to
prove ownership in a hurry if the oc-
casion demands.

SHERIFF CLAIMS
HE HAS KING Of
'BOOTLEGCERS N
NICHOLS ARREST
Authorities Assert That
Nichols Is Man Who Has
Been the Real Backer..
ALLEGED BE ONE
FURNISHING BOND
Nichols Was One of Found
ers of Original Town
site of Winterhaven.

In the arrest of w. J. Nichols
Sheriff Charles M. Applestill declares
that the last of the Winterhaven boot
leggers have been taken into GUS
tody.
The sheriff left Ell Centro yester-
cay, arriving in Winterhaven at 2
o'clock at which time he placed Mich
ols under arrest.
Sheriff Applestill says that Mich
els is the man who has been put
ting up the money for those who have
been running the blindpiggers in the
little hamlet just across the river
from Yuma.
On January 25 Sheriff Applestill
descended upon an alleged blindpigger
establishment in Winterhaven, arrest
ing Henry Matson and J. Nelson. Mat
son claimed to be president Of Win
terhaven Hive No. 2 of the Frater-
nal and Benevolent Order of Bees and
maintained that the retreat was
secret organization and had a char
ter from the state.
Matson and Nelson were locked up
in the county Jail, but finally succeed
ed in being released on bonds of $3,-
900 each.
After they were released further
evidence was presented and the arrest
of Nichols took place.
Nichols was one of the promoters
of the Winterhaven Townsite Com
pany and has furnished bail money
for others in the blind pig business,
according to the sheriff.

CUT
DOWN WITH
NEW ROAD
San Diego & Arizona Will
Have No Snow and Few
Heavy Grades on Line.

The monthly bulletin just issued by
the California Development Boarc
has few interesting things to say
about Imperial Valley, claiming that
upon the completion of the San Die.
Igo & Arizona railroad that 14O miles
will be Topped off the distance be.
tween the Coast and Chicago. 1t al.
$50 states that the new line will be
the most direct road east and will
not be bothered with steep grades or
snow. Following is a portion of the
article:
"San Francisco contractors who
are engaged in completing the link
of the San Diego & Arizona rail-
way have, at this time, two build
ing camps, at which several carloads
of machinery and implements are be-
ing unloaded. They will have a force
of 1,500 men at work soon. The
road is to be completed by early sum-
mer, and will be in full operation
with transcontinental freight by
New Years day, 1918.
"Here are few pertinent facts
regarding this line, according a di-
rect eastern outlet for the San Diego
bay region, connecting, as it does,
with the Southern Pacific main line
in the Imperial Valley.
"From Seeley to San Diego is a
distance of 1896 miles, of which
1890 miles are completed. This line
will shorten the distance from Chi
cago to the Pacific Coast by lao
miles and will have the lowest grades
of any line entering California OF
any other Pacific Coast. state from
the East. Of almost equal Importance
is the fact that this route is absolute
ly free from the menace of snow the
year round"

very few prisoners were being held
Accommodations are had for about
26, if sanitation rules are upheld. Or
numerous occasions there have beer
from 60 to 80 entered on the Jail reg
lister. Not all of these were confined
in the jail-some being on the chain
gang and others in the city Jail.
! In case the supervisors decide that
the Jail should be built on the ten
acres between Ninth and Eleventh
streets it is planned to construct it
so that the prisoners will have an op-
Iportunity to work on the grounds.
If the Jail and courthouse are erect
led there short time prisoners will be
used to beautify the grounds.
1t has also been proposed that if
the Jail is built on the State street
frontage that it will be possible for
the City of Ell Centre to later ac-
quire the building. This is thought
by many to be an economical ven-
ture. During the time that the needs
of the county will outgrow the State
Street Jail by that time the city will
doubtless require larger quarters for
the protection of society.
1t is also held that if the present
courthouse site is to be continued, that
with the erection of a Jail structure
on State street the old strucurte could
be dismantled to admit of the con-
struction of modern building.
Today the county clerks office is
two doors removed from the main en-
trance of the courthouse. The coun-
Imperial Valley press., 1917-02-07

! At the next meeting of the board
of supervisors Sheriff Charles M. Ap-
Iplestill will present a request that
better Jail facilities be provided. He
also proposes to ask the board to
erect a commodious Jail on the State
street frontage owned by the coun-
ty.
In the event that the supervisors
do not see fit to construct county
Jail on this location, the sheriff will
advise the construction of suitable
buildings on the ten acres donated
by w. T. Bill for courthouse pur-
poses.
The sheriff said this morning that
he was engaged in preparing the mat
ter, to be presented to the supervi-
visors. Recent Jail breaks or at
tempted ones have been costly to the
county. Guarding of TRUSTEES" and
others who are compelled to be under
surveillance owing to Jail conditions
have compelled the sheriff to ask for
larger quarters.
At the present time there are two
offices in which the sheriff and his
deputies may transact business. In
the private office have been placed
cots for the care of prisoners whom
he could trust.
The main office is not much larger
than the private office, and this is
open to anyone who cares to enter.
There is no privacy obtainable unless
the sheriff or his deputies go out into
the alley and hold conversations.
The Jail was built for times when

INCINERATION OF
RUBBISH LIMITED

That there is a difference between
rubbish incinerators and garbage cans
does not seem to enter many minds
in Ell Centre, according to William
Cass, deputy health officer of the
city. The city health department has
sent out notices to all residents and
has appealed through the press, but
results have not been attained.
Mr.. Cass has decided that he will
not permit violators to ignore the
kindly notices and he now intends to
prosecute violators. He said this
morning that further violations would
meet with arrest and summary pun
ishment.
There have been brought to the at
tention of the health department many
cases where rubbish is burned on a
neighboring yard without the consent
of the owner. This is contrary to
the city ordinance.
Mr.. Cass stated that throwing of
rubbish into garbage cans must stop.
The city has provided an efficient
garbage collection system and it ap-
pears that anything has been going
into the receptables provided.

Washington, Feb. THAT some
lover-zealous submarine commander
will make a fatal mistake and sink
an American ship is the one thing that
is worrying some officials while the
United States and Germany are going
through the present trying situation.
High officials are also fearful that
the country will be lulled into false
sense of security.
Reports today say that Americans
within the "barred zone" have received
some notification that modification of
the submarine warfare had been pro-
mulgated. This has not been con-
firmed, but Washington believes there
is reasonable security for those now
on the high seas.
