A telephone message was received at the sheriff's office early Friday morning, little after daylight, that a man had been run over and badly hurt on North Central avenue. three miles north of the city.
 Deputy Sheriff Warren went out and found Antonio Martinez. Martinez said that he was on his way to work and was run over by man In an automobile. It happened so quickly that Martinez could give no descrip- ton of the driver and could not ob- serve the number of the machine.
 Martnez's bicycle was smashed and utterly wrecked. The deputy sheriff took him to his home on North Fourth street. Martinez is hard working man with a wife and five children
 A good many automobile drivers do not know that it is felony in this state to drive away and try to esca pc responsibility after running over one in the highway or injurine him or his property. Probably nobody has ever been sent to the pententiary in this state for that trick, but if that were done once or twice the law would be better understood and observed. ...

He said that it was the practice of Perez to enter store with a cheese cloth sack and fill it with goods while not observed, that Perez operated with a horse and bug gy, thus having a convenient vehicle for transporting the goods to his place of hiding, that PeHez was collecting the goods for the purpose of soon mak- ing tour through the mining camps of Ray and Kelvin.
 When PereZ's house was searched a large quantity of marahuana was found, McGrath stating that Perez sold marahuana cigarettes, in violation of city ordinance, as one of his means Of living

 They came before Justice Wheeler on the charge of speeding. They elected to stand trial but the most they could say that SO far as they could judge they had not exceeded the speed limit.
