IMPERIAL MAN
RECEIVERS AUTO

Otto 3. Bates and wife returned
from their vacation last evening after
Ia delightful two weeks at various
points on the coast.
Leaving Imperial on Saturday July
3, they went to San Francisco, by main
where they regained possession Of the
Ford touring car which was stolen
from in front of Edgar Bros. general
offices on March Is. and after snort
stay in the Bay City they drove home
following the coast route.
The car which they have missed so
much since it was stolen bears the
marks of varied and strenuous eX-
perience.
Evidently the thief had stolen some
number plates from other cars and
cut them in two in order to get the
combination of figures he wanted for
his car. In putting them on the rear
bracket they had not been securely
fastened and finally Jared loose so
that their irregularitv was noticed by
an officer while the car was being
driven through Oakland.
The officer ordered the driver to
stop, but the order only served to in
crease the speed, so the officer began
to use his gun. The driver was struck
by bullet and lost control of the car
which ran into a ditch and turned
over, being badly wrecked, while the
driver died very soon after.
The car was then stored in garage
in Oakland while Mr.. Bates was no.
titled of its recovery. He at once made
arrangements to have it repaired by
the Ford people in San Francisco.
The body of the car has three bull

conversation was not overheard by
anyone, but others in the place state
that it was like many other contro-

and no one paid any special attention
to the men until the slayer drew a
pistol and fired several shots, all of
which took effect, killing Loya almost
instantly.
That the Staying was done because
Loya persisted in annoying the other
man is the opinion Of those who had

they say, the other man resented
Loya's attitude and shot him.
Immediately upon realizing that
Loya was fatally hurt, it is said the
slayer attempted to escape, refusing
% heed the commands of the Mexican
police that he stop. AS he ran, Il po- !

A. daughter of the slain man was

Italy is a land OF political contrasts,
and II may be, as has been said, that
while her national unity was effected
fifty years ago her moral unity was
not then completed. There undoubt'
edly remain lrreconcllable groups
minority who would restore the Papal
State, ldealists who seek the reallEa'
tlon OF MAzzINTs dream OF the over
throw OF monarchlcal government and
the establishment Of a republic, and
radical socialists who would force the
adoption Of plans for new Utopia.
Italy In the past has had her aggres'
slye anArchIstIc groups, She has n
considerable population who believe In
the restoration Of intercourse with
Russia; but there still exist grOunds
for doubling that large body Of mn
tive born Italians favor an Imitation
Of the Russian Bolsheylst rule.
In the hnal analysis there must
always be taken into consideration the
loyal, law abiding, patriotic middle
class which Russia did not possesk
