The people growing little weary OF
having every oppression that is put upon them,
laid to the war. Whether it is an increased
cost of living or inconvenience, or whatnot, the
invariable excuse is the war. The people bore
the burden, while the war was on, bore it
cheerfully and periodically and will continue
to assume any hardships that the government
may impose, but they are getting tired of the
war proiteer, who traitor by his ex-
actions when the country was in peril. and

members of the American Legion, paid
the last respects to the body of Charles
Charles f. A. Cronin, age 36, at the
undertaking parlors of E. J. Mulligan
$50 State street, this afternoon.
The man came to the Valley some
time ago, stranger, and a victim of
tuberculosis and practically penniless.
He took up residence few miles south
of town, where he remained until his
death. Papers found on him showed he
had been discharged from the United
States navy but short time, and com
ing to Imperial valley with the hope of
regaining his health.
While the man was not member of
the legion, he was a fighting man, and
that organization took it into their own
hands to see to it that he had burial
befitting of a service man.

E.S.LACK DIES,
FEELING IS
HIGH At THE
B D R DER

E. S. Lack, shot through the intes-
tines last Friday night, at Mexicali,
by a Mexican policeman, passed away
at the Ell Centro hospital at. 1870 this
morning from pneumonia, contracted
by the long time he was forced to lie
on the damp pavement in the Mexican
town and from the shock. For five
hours after he was shot he received
no medical attention.
Mr.. Lack developed pneumonia Sun
day and Sunday evening was very
low. Yesterday morning he rallied
but the rally was premature, and early
this morning passed away.
The body will lie in state after
o'clock this afternoon at the Mulligan
undertaking parlors. Tomorrow it
will be taken to Los Angeles, where
funeral services will be held. Burial
will be in the family vault in the
Rosedale cemetery at Los Angeles.
News of the death Of Mr.. Lack this
cast shadow of sorrow over
tic entire Valley and in Ell Centre and
Calexico feeling ran high against
Mexico and the Mexican officials.
Officials at Camp John H. Beacon
redouhled their precautions tc pre-
vent any raids in MeXicali from across
the line, and machine guns were held
in readiness to quell any mob action
A spark would have touched off the
strong undercurrent of feeling and
started a wholesale shooting up of
MeXicali by enraged American citi-
zens. Careful watch was kept at the
border to prevent any such occur
renee.
The shooting, described by Dell
Carlton, Mr.. Lacks companion as
entirely uncalled for" and the veiled
hints that Mexican officials were wait
ing to "get" Mr.. Lack added to the in
tensity of the situation.
Messages from Calexico this morn
ing were serious in tone.
Mr.. Lack numbered his friends by
the hundreds, and his death comes as
a severe blow to his wife and rela-
tiVPS .-t.
