BLOODY BATTLE
 AT COURT ROOM
One Man Is Killed, Another Fatally Hurt and Another Man and WOm- an Are Injured in Fight-Knife
 and Pistol Used.

Nashville, Feb. 28.-E. G. Tomp- kins was killed; Will Hoffstetter and Mrs. W. A. Bevington, a bystander, was wounded in the Davidson coun- ty courthouse this morning during the trial of case in which Tomp- kins was suing the Hoffstetters for alleged alienation of his wife's af- factions.
 The alienation had been called for trial this morning, but was con- tInued today because of the fact that Tompkins counsel had with drawn from the case. The trial was postponed in order that Tompkins might have opportunity to employ other counsel.
 As the parties interested in the case were leaving the court room after the judge had announced the continuance of the case. it is al- legged that Tompkins drew pistol and began firing, shooting Will Hoff- stetter i'll the abdomen.
 Another shot struck Jim Hoffstet- ter in the arm. while another struck Mrs. Beyington, a bystander, in the leg.
 Before he fell Will Hoffstetter plunged a knife into Tompkins' heart, causing his death.

LEE BLOUNT SLEW
 LOUISIANA MAYOR
Arkansas Desperate, Badly Wound ed Is Captured by Posse Near Col Iinston--Brought t0 Bay in
 Church-ReIieved Near Death.

Monroe, La, March 1.-The man who shot and killed H. w Vaughn, mayor of ColIinston. yesterday, in a running fight following the robbery of the Bank Of ColIinston, was Lee Blount of Faulkner county, Ark, a fugitive from the Arkansas peniten- tIary.
 Blount suffering from five bullet wounds, was brought to bay in a negro church, one and one-half miles from Collinston, this morning. Because of fear that he might be lynched, Blount was hurried to Bas- trop and then sent to Shreveport. He is reported to be near death. If he recovers he will be tried for mur- der of Mayor Vaughn and if convict ed will be executed.
 Officers suspected that the fugitive was Blount when the other bandit was captured yesterday and proved 60 be Shorty" Defts, who escaped from the Arkansas penitentiary with Blount. However. Defts tried to protect his companion by saying his name was Charles Johnson. He said ile left 5iount in Fort Worth, Tex, some time ago.
 Brought to Bay in Church.
 Late last night the posse of More house parish men in pursuit of the bank robbers. learned that Blount had taken refuge in the negro church. He had been wounded by Mayor Vaughn and evidently had been unable to go further. The posse of 20 men surrounded the church and remained on guard all night while rain fell in torrents. As soon as daylight came. they riddled the frail building with bullets from their high-powered rifles. Blount returned the fire, but the possemen had taken to cover and he hit no one.
 The pursuers called on the des- perado to surrender. but he refused Then they set the building on fire and Blount came to the window with his arms raised.
 He had two wounds in the face, one in each leg and another thru the body.

SCHOOL STUDENTS TO
BECOME RANCH HANDS
(By United Press)

Berkeley, May 11-Twenty thousand
collars of federal funds soon available
1or California's schools under the
Smith Hughes bill may be used by the
State Board of Education to pay school
teachers during the summer months
&c supervise pupils in work on Califor-
MAS farms. The committee on food
supply and resources of the State De-
fens Council has made this suggestion
and the possibilities of the plan now
are being investigated.
1t is estimated that there are $4,000
young men in the high schools of CAL
ifornia and if the plans of the food
supply committee are carried out, these
boys will work in the fields through
the summer, increasing the nations
food supply as their part in the war,
while their teachers will be hired for
call the year around" service and while
the schools are closed the teachers
will be the "straw bosses" on Califor-
ma farms, also looking out for the
;welfare of the youthful farmers.

PHILLIPS RECEIVERS
STOLEN HORSE FROM
PAIR JAIL BREAKERS

When F. w. Phillips reported the
loss of his horse and buggy Saturday
evening he did not expect that the an
imal would figure in so many esca-
pades. The horse and buggy have
been recovered, but the thieves have
not been arrested for the theft, al
though they were arrested on charge
OF house robbery, bua managed to
break out of the Calipatria Jail
Phillips left his horse at tn" rear
of the First National Bank building
Saturday evening and when he re
turned found the rack bare, Two
Mexicans had evidently seen him hitch
there and after his disappearance the
two men drove north and later lohEed
"a ranch house near Brawlcy. They
were arrested and lodged in the Cali
pstria Jail, the officers not knowing
at the time that the rig had beer sic!-
en. Just thirty minutes after being
locked in the wooden structure he
Mexicans pried a, plank from the roof
OF the Jail and departed.
The rig was afterwards identified by
the rightful owner.

ARE BEING
PUNISHED
Country Demands Unques-

During the War.
More Than 100 Persons
Have Been Interned in
State for SeditiOn.

Sacramento, May lin a warning
issued here today by the State Coun
Gil of Defense against the commission
c1 reasonable acts and the use Of
Unreasonable language, the face was
made public that more than 100 per-
sons already have been interned in
California for such offenses, while in
several cases heavy fines have been
imposed by county officials who did
rot resort to the federal process of
internment for such offenders.
A. H. Naftzger, vice chairman of
TIE State Council of Defense, states
that the internment of many persons
has been found necessary by federal
authorities because of reasonable and
seditious utterances. In the majority
OF cases where such interment has
been resorted to, it is said that the
persons being held are mostly aliens
but instances are recorded wherein ma
ltive-born American citizens are being
held in duress. In warning to the
public against remarks which can be
construed as reasonable, Vice Chair
man Naftzger said:
"Many persons do not realize the
seriousness of acts and remarks which
lin peace times would be regarded only
as headstrong outbreaks or expressions
of opinion, but which in war time are
nothing less than treason.

Kansas Family En- Route to
San Diego Stalled in
Lonely Desert.
Baby Has First Birthday
With Can of Tomatoes
for the Whole Family.

Stalled on the wind-swept desert for
four days and with nothing but one
cen of tomatoes to subsist on for a
family of four persons, two of whom
were children, the J. E. Mills family
was discovered this morning by S.
j. Bosch, line rider in the employ
of the Holton Power Company. The
Mills family had started from Yuma
to Ell Centre in a Ford, when tn.
machine became disabled fifteen miles
east of Holtville. The family re-
mained four days with no water ex-
cept that in the radiator and with 10
food with the exception of one can of
tomatoes.
The Mills family left Kansas some
weeks since, intending to make their
way overland to San Diego. One of
the children, g., baby, celebrated its
first birthday on the sands of the des
ert and, having just recently been
weaned, was forced to be nourish, d
with tomato juice.
When rescued there was one one
half pint of water left for the four
persons. Bosch travelled back to the
county well for a further supply of
water and then accompanied the fam
lily to Holtville.
It is understood that the Masons
OF the Valley have proffered their
services to relieve the family and help
them on their way to the coast.

SOLDIERS MARCH FROM
CALEX|CO TO COUNTY
SEAT THIS MORNING

Company K, Twentyfirst infantry,
arrived in Ell Centre at noon today
after marching from Calexico. The
regulars will remain here tonight, aft
er which they will "hike" back to their
camp at the border.
Captain F. v. S. Chamberlain is in
command of the company, which is
composed of 80 men. The soldiers
were brought here for practice
march as a part of their training for
active service, which they are all
locking forward to with interest.
Captain Harris of the customs serv-
ice informed Director T. T. Cook of the
Chamber of Commerce that the troops
were on the march toward Ell Centre
Mr.. Cook arranged with City Trustee
E. w. Burger to provide water tap
for the men in the vacant field op-
posite the Wilson school on Main St
Upon their arrival at the camping
grounds, the soldiers were met by City
Marshal j. C. Jenkins and Commercial
Secretary D. C. Bitler of the Cham-
ber of Commerce, with ten-gallon
can of sweet buttermilk, presented to
Company X by ]. S. Robson and E. H
Webster of the Imperial Valley Cream
ely. This was declared by the boys
the best treat of the season, being es-
lpecially appreciated after the long
walk through the dust.
Special arrangements were made
with George H. Beamer of the Ell Cen
tro baths to permit the soldiers to
occupy the pool this afternoon.
It is suggested that when soldiers
are marching along the highways, i
automobile drivers would slow down
liz passing there would be less dust
and the act would be fully appreciated
(by the men, according to Captain
Chamberlain. c

IMPLICATIONS
COST COUNTY
Sl,I89.fO :.

While numerous California cities,
large and small, have turned over to
the county officials the assessment
and collection of city taxes, there are
yet 1853 cities in forty counties, which
are duplicating their local assessing
and collecting through city officials.
Lest year, according to their own re-
ports, it cost 129 of these cities the
sum of 1885, 5,5S7.76 in taxpayers mon
ey to exercise this doubtful privilege.
Assessing cost $167, ,18O.O7 and tax col
lecting cost $11S,4O7.69. Thirty-nine
cities made. no REPORT, and it cannot,
therefore, be stated how much their
expenditures would swell the grand
total.
The Taxpayers Association of Cali
fornia has compiled, county by coun-
ty and city by city, the cost of this
duplication as reported to the state
controller and also as supplemented
in response to QUESTIONABLE. These
reports not having been checked by its
staff, the association expressly states
that it cannot vouch for their accu-
1acy or completeness. 1t regards
them, however, as representing, IN
most instances, the minimum cost. In
statement it says:
"Nearly all of this cost should be
saved by turning city assessing and
tax collecting over to county officers
Moreover, a better and more uniform
assessment would be obtained, and the
convenience of the taxpayer promoted
to surprising degree"
AS reported, the duplication cost to
cities in Imperial county came to a
total of $1,189.1O and is set forth,
city by city, as follows:
Brawley-Assessing, $81.95; total,
$s195.
Calexico-Figures not available.
Ell Centro-Assessing, $3.50; total,
$3.50.
Holtville-Assessing, $135.87; COL
lecting, $641.28; total, $777.15.
Imperial-Figures not available.
