The city marshal, in order to set
an example for owners who are care

fled by the state law.
This is not an isolated case or iso-

plate the same steps against owners

COMMISSIONERS.
FAVOR E. C.. AS.
COUNTYCENTER'

Informally and unoffcially a ma
jority of the county board of super
vlsOrs in regular session this morn
ing during discussion of the me-
mortal court house project went on
record for a continuation of the cOun-
ty seat in Ell Centric.
Chairman Brooks of this district,
and Supervisors Pulliam OF Caiexico
and Holt of Holtville all unqualifiedly
endorsed this city's claim for the new
courthouse and as ths seat of the
county government. Every man
however, expressed an opinion that
his own city wanted this plum, but
their statements, aside from their
loyalty to their own districts, backed
up Ell Centro's position.
Supervisor Adams of Imperial in
sisted that his city was the ideal To-
cation for the county seat, but de-
clared that he would be guided in his
official position by the stand of the
representative citizens and organza-
tions of his district
Local boosters regarded these ex-
pressions by the three members of
the board as distinct and decided
victory for Ell Centro-one that
would put a quietus on any possible
move by any other section for re-
moval of the county seat with the
building of the proposed new court
house.
! For some time Supervisor Beal, the
political arbiter and kingpin of the
North End, has been quietly working
that is, gumshoeing-fOr revival
of the courthouse fight Or at least
! this is the impression in official cir
cles. Also the impression is that he
wanted the county seat moved to his
own capitol of Brawfey.
While no formal motions Wers
made or entertained, the discussion
progressed even further than location
There was talk of building to cos
from S250,000 to 100000, which coul(
be built without bond issue or al
increase in the present tax rate.
The discussion was precipitated b!
a member of the Associated
Chambers of Commerce. who mad.
the forecast that that reorganization
would take some definite stand in The
courthouse matter, on which the Su
pervisors could take action toward ad
vancing the project at their neXt
meeting.
Ir taking up the financial features
1 of the courthouse program, It was
stated:
"The county can build this struc-
ture without the necessity of issuing
bonds or increasing the tax rate
There is already the sum of S6O,0OC
lying domant in the county treasury
refund from the state on the mon
eysr advanced for road construction
here.
"This money was raised through
an increase in the tax rate last year
This sum can be utilized for the re
naming Indebtedness provided by
retiring $50, 900 of it each year by re-
tanning the present tax rate, which is
no especial burden on the taXpay'
erS.
81 believe that | can assure you
gentlemen that we can obtain con-
tract for the erection of court
house under those terms, which woult
mean commodious, slightly and
necessary building that would be a
credit to the county and paid for in
five years at the most"

MURDER CASE.
DEFENSE SAYS
HAVE FOUND
NEW EVIDENCE
Attorney Wilson Declares
That Witnesses Can Tell
of the Hindu's Flight Into
Mexico.

Khair Din, Valley rancher whose
conviction on a charge of murder was
reversed by the Appellate Court aft
er he had begun the serving of a life
sentence in San Quentin prison, was
returned this morning to Imperial
county preliminary to standing trial
for the fourth time.
Two special deputies, deputized by
Sheriff Charles Applestill for the
trip, returned from the north this
morning with the Hindu in their
charge. He will be held in the coun
ty Jail to await the calling of his
case, which will be set at the con-
venience of the court and the dis
trict attorney.
With the arrival of Khair Din, O.
V. Wilson, defense counsel, an
nounced that he had discovered new
and material evidence which may go
far toward strengthening the case of
the defense and result in the acquit-
tai of the Hindu accused.
One of the strongest factors IN
the prosecutions presentation of the
case of circumstantial evidence was
Khair Din's apparent flight or trip
into Mexico Immediately following the
murders of which he is charged. 1t
is said the new witnesses Will be en-
abled to put new light on the Hin
du's trip into Mexico and possibly
to reveal cabal of the accused's
fellow countrymen, formed as ven-
delta to get revenge for the muir
der.
These witnesses, Mr.. Wilson de-
clares, have been compelled to flee
the Valley because of threats from an
opposing faction of Hindus.

The Automobile Show at Brawley

The Automobile Show at Brawley
was grand success.
On Saturday afternoon, being the
closing day, Lieutenant Cobbey of the

crowds with his aerial stunts.
The Mexican Band from Governor
Cantu's land played "The Star-Span-
gled Banner" while the aviator at
a height of 5000 feet turned somer-
saults and performed other daring
feats which simply took persons
breath from them.
On Saturday evening the Auto

banquet at the Dunlack hotel, this
being an affair given in honor of Gov
ernor Cantu, but the governor was
unable to be present, owing to press
ing business. The governor appoint
ed William Clay Silver of CaleXico
to represent him, and Mr.. Silver made
a brief address saying that "as much
as the governor would love to be pres
ent, he was there, nevertheless, in
spirit"
After the band concert at the show,
the jazz contest for silver loving
cup was the next attraction, and Miss
Lillian Kissee and Ted Curry, both of
FL Centro, carried away the honors.
There was considerable excitement
during the contest, as the best dan
cling couples of the Valley were con-
tenders for the cup. After several
arguments on the part of the decid-
ing judges, the Ell Centro couple were
declared the best. The cup is now on
exhibition at Salomon's window in this
