YOUNG MAN
Assault TED
ANDbEATEN
To De 4 I /.
Still Warm Body of Youth
Is Found in Grove of
Trees Near Railroad Sta
ton at INLAND.

Apparently assaulted and beaten
by tramps who infest the place, or
by a Mexican, the still warm body
of 16 to 18-year-old boy, whose iden-
tity is still uncertain, was found to-
road station at INLAND.
Life was extinct, death probably
resulting from blows about the head
and face from clubs or some iron in
strument. 1t was reported that the
face and head of the body We're beat
en- to pulp, making Identification
little uncertain.
The boy was said to have been
dressed in rough clothes and he is
believed to have been what is known
in the barlance of the road as punk
kid" Youngsters of this classifica-
tion are. wanderers who accompany
older tramps and for this privilege
and protection are required to steal
or rustic food.
AS soon as the report of the find
ing of the BODY was received, Deputy
Sheriff David Matlock, who has made
an enviable record for his work in
the Lyons Crossing murder case,
started for the scene Later an au-
tomobile from the undertaking firm
of Mulligan & Bowen was dispatched
to inland to bring the body to this.
city.
Late this afternoon Deputy Sher-
iff Matlock reported that an iden-
tification made from check on a
Van Buren, Ark, bank indicated that
the dead bov was Henry Buckler. The
check was signed by Mrs. ]. A. Buck
Ter, was endorsed by Henry Buck
Ter and R. R. Herring, and was paid
on November 20, four days after it
was issued.
A bill of sale for clothing corre-
spending to those worse by the
corpse was also found bearing the
name of the ]. & w. Fischer Com
pany of Big Springs, Tex. This re-
ceipt was made out in Buckler's name.
The theory of the officers is that
the youth was beaten to death and
robbed. The body had been searched
and everything of value taken. Con-
firming this theory was the fact that
25-cent piece and penny were
found few feet distant from the
body.
The vorng man arrived in inland
on freight, it is thought, some time
yesterday morning. He was seen
about town by several persons. A
strange Mexican was also seen shad-
owing. him. A cap similar to the
one worn by this Mexican was picked
up near the scene of the murder. 1t
bears the stamp of Salomon's store
of this city
The body was discovered bv a Mex
lean section hand. who informed Of
ficials at the railroad station. From
all appearances the murder occurred
before the rain set in early this
morning.

MANY INJURED
IN GLASGOW
LABOR RIOTS

A Mail Belfast dispatch says
"There is no outstanding personal

lice are helpless The chief has asked
the strike leaders to cooperate with
the constables in preventing disor-

strikers when they go to a hotel to
cut off electric current. The post
master thanked the strike committee
for allowing the postoffice to use
electricity. The committee has pre-
scribed a limited amount of work in
the industries, particularly those in
volved in feeding and warming the
people. Otherwise there is no indus

The strike situation was discusses
at a special meeting of the cabinet
yesterday. The War Board of Trade
is also actively endeavoring to bring
about settlement. The government
regards governmental interference
now as unwisee and perhaps danger

for the men will soon accomplish the
collapse of the movement.

The candidacy of Mr.. Maddux has
the backing of practically every well
known rancher and business man
The public at large is also familiar
with the work of Mr. Maddbx, whose
quiet personality has been a force
for efficiency, courtesy and results
at the headquarters office of the dis:
trict. W(
Never, in the four wears of his oc-

complaint about the conduct of the

friends to dub him as professor OF

NEGLECTED HIS
DUTIES, CHARG
ON FAWCETT

In the form of a letter from

The Press today received a
strong editorial and an
other important reason why
viii S. Fawcett should not
be elected to the directorate
of the Imperial Irrigation
District to succeed Leroy
Holt. The letter follows:
Gel Centro, Jan. 81, 1919.
imperial Valley Press
Dear Sir: AS a subscriber
to your paper, | appreciate
the fact that you are support
ing J. Stanley Brown for di-
rector of the Imperial 1rriga
ton District. The reason is
evident to me.
"Last summer, during the
water shortage, [ could not
get my portion Of water. The
only reason given was that
my ditch needed to be made
lower. One of the directors
looked at the ditch and testi-
fled that it was in excellent
condition, and saw no reason
why I should not get water.
He suggested that l see Mr..
Fawcett, as he was president
of the board.
"I went to see Mr.. Fawcett
and he said he was giving all
his time to the government
and that he had no time to
look into conditions. In fact,
he tried to intimidate me.
apparently it was of more
value in his mind to sit in his
office and write out food
cards than to see to the prop
per dlStrlDutlOn OF water, to
the end that thousands of
dollars worth of foodstuffs
were raised for the nations
granaries, and that justice
was received by everyone.
"Therefore, l am in favor
of someone who has not so
much business " other than
their own that they cannot
fulfill their obligations to the
''>oon|c who are paving him to
look after their interests in
place of his own.

Regarding Local Candi-

The following editorial is repub-

indicating the high esteem IN which

member of the Imperial Irrigation
District Board.
"Holtville believes that the best

by the election of J. Stanley Brown
to the office. While the new direc-
tor will represent Ell Centre dis
trict, he will serve for the entire Val.

we advise our friends who live with
in the voting district to cast theii
ballots for the man we believe is bet
ter fitted for the place and the more
interested in the proper developmnt
of the Valley under the All-American
canal plan.
Hon. j. Stanley Brown is pioneer
settler of Imperial Valley and, as
such, is thoroughly conversant with
the development of this county. Fol
the past twelve years he has served
as county treasurer, and his recent
election to the State Assembly only
serves to emphasize the confidence
which the citizens of Imperial coui.
ty have placed in him. Although 8
new member of the Assembly, he
was Immediately appointed on some
of the most important committees o1
the House. Notably outstanding is
the fact that he was made chair
man of the Committee on Irrigation
Affairs. This committee. with tht
exception of the Ways and Means
committee, of which Mr.. Brown j.
also member is probably the
strongest committee of the Assem-
bly,: 80
A few years ago Mr.. Brown wa:
member of a delegation represent
ing this county at Washington, D
c.. and as direct result of his eff
forts there a sum approximatine
$25O,OOO was appropriated and spen
for protection work in Mexico.
Another of the strong recommen
dations for Mr.. Browns candidacy il
his persistent, consistent and intel
ligent advocacy and work for the
All-American canal during his loni
time residence in the Valley. To ali
in the solution of our water problem
was probably the most impelling rea
son for his introduction in the Leg

'THRESH|NG Of
CASTOR BEANS
WAR PRODUCT
BEGINS MON.
Imperial Is the Station Sc
lected for the Threshing
of All the Imperial Valley
Crop.

Imperial Valleys first big crop of
the war product, castor beans, the
raw material from which castor oil
is obtained for fabrication fer the
Liberty airplane motors, has been
harvested and threshing will begin
Monday morning at Imperial.
Because the crop is very poor, the
stand being pitifully small in some
instances, it is probable that some
plan can be worked out whereby the
patriotic ranchers who planted the
beans in response to the appeal of
the gov ernment will be recompensed
in measure for their loss.
A grain threshing outfit has been
reconstructed and will be operated
by J. d. Conrad. Announcement is
made that because peace has beer
restore and because of the crop con
ditions, the Castor eBan Associa
tion will waive its contract right tt
collect 10 per cent for the market
ing of the beans.
Ten thousand acres of beans. it i:
estimated, were planted here in re
sponse to the urgent appeal of th'
government. The price fixed for tn,
threshed beans is $3.50 per bushel.
The work of threshing is very dan
gerous. So poisonous is the dust
which flies from the shelter tina
thosee working near it must wea
gas masks. Slight inhalation of th
dust for even few minutes cause
weakness and fainting.

Crisis Over Disposition of
German Possessions Past;
Presi d ent Wilson Is
Thought to Have Won.
(By Associated Press)


Paris, Jan. 31.-The crisis over the
disposition Of Germany's colonies has
passed momentarily, although it is
too early to say that President Will
sons viewpoint has prevailed entire
'ly. Confidence is felt in American
quarters that compromise plan
will be worked out acceptable to the
American viewpoint. The Supreme
Council had before it today a plain
statement which President Wilson
made Wednesday,. 1t was a clean
reaffirmation of the principles for
which the president had previously
contended. 1t is understood that
President Wilson told the council he
would. not be party to the division
of Germany's colonies among the
powers holding them and then be-
come party to league of nations
which would guarantee their titles.
There are inferences that the presi-
dent even referred to peace "loot."
A Havas statement says: "The fl
nal plan provides that territories suf-
ficiently civilized to form their own
government will be permitted to es-
tablish a government under the pro-
tectorate of one of the great powers
under the auspices of league o:
nations. The league will choose a
power to govern peoples insufficient
ly developed for self-government.
Professionally the African and Far
Eastern colonies will be left in the
control of the powers, now occupying
them. Four of the great powers will
undertake Immediately the admin
stration of Asiatic Turkey"

Paris, Jan. 31.-The only govern
ment which is continuing formal OBJ
iections to the compromise plan for
the administration of the former col
onies of Germany is Australia, the
Paris edition of the Mail says. The
Australian delegates are declared to
regard the ownership of New Guinea
as vital to the existence of Austria
liza. Premier Clemenceau has prom
ised Australia his full support in
safeguarding her position, the news
paper adds. There is no possibility
now of Australia continuing her in
dependent opposition, according to the
Mail.
Italy's attitude has resulted in a
decision that the mandatory system
of administration shall apply only
to non-European territories, leaving
ouen for independent consideration
the fate Of the Adriatic coast, Balkan
and Austrian lands, and French ter
ritorial claims against Germany, the
newspaper adds.
