Farm Directors
Condemn Crime

The county farm bureau directors
took action as follows regarding the
present campaign against lawlessness
and crime now in progress in Imperial
county;
The directors of this Imperial county
farm bureau view with great appre-
hension the open lawlessness and vice
revealed by the recent Investigations
These revealed in some towns open
houses Of gambling and prostitution
patronized by minors as well as adults
To our minds the most serious fea-
ture of this investigation is the failure
of some of our officers sworn to enforce
the law and upon whose fathfulness
depends the peace of our community
and sanctity of our homes.
1--WE therefore urge every law abiding
citizen to join with us in earnest sup
port of the district attorney and sheriff
in bringing all the guilty parties to
punishment.
I'VE further urge every citizen having
of any facts which will
assist in bringing the guilty parties to
justice to communicate such facts to
the district attorneys office at once"

LAKE s STORY IS

Fred Lake on the charge Of the murde

week, tells Lakes side of the case a.
follows;
To the Editor of
The Imperial Valley Press;
1t is far from my intention TO
TRY case in the newspapers" but
upon reading your quotation of the
sheriff of this county, that the
shooting j. A. Partin by Fred Lake
at Winterhaven was "a cold-blood-
ed murder" and that che was shot
from behind through the back"

day, last. / feel that the public
should receive some truth in order
that justice may be done to Lake.
Such misleading statements as
these which are not founded on
any facts which the sheriff him.
self or any of his deputies had fully
investigated, prejudice the public
mind against a man. and when
jurors are summoned to court to
try him on a charge of murder.
they come with prejudice against
the defendant, which is hard for
them to cast off. The Sunday morn
ing issue of the Ell Centro Progress
followed the tenor of your story to
the public.
Partin was shot in the side of his
body and not in the back. One

Mr.. Lack talked little on the

Casey Abbott was frequently on his

bullet struck him and no more, as
the coroner of this county will say.
He was struck in the side as he
reached for a shot gun, according
to Lake, who walking upon the
sidewalk in front of a hardware
store in the morning and was sur
prised by Partin appearing sudden
ly around the corner of the build
ing. There is ample proof that
Partin had threatened several
times to "get" Lake and that Lake
had prepared for an emergency.
/ will not detail the story of Lake
about the matter but desire to state
that Lake, Immediately after the
shooting, walked ino the store and
after handing over his revolver
went for a doctor, and made no
effort to escape, stating that he
saw Partin intended to kill him as
Partin had announced.
Partin had come to Eel Centro,
last fall and asked for an appoint

county. This appointment entities

Oh the business of Horrocks, GreWdson
" Co., Ltd, the great Manchester firm
OF splnners and manufacturers, and
from the booms in Lancashire cotton
mill shares, due to the buying of mills

MIL values are naturally being fore

naturally, to rise, until they reach the
level, which investors and spectators
deem justified by trade prospects. The
upward movement thus far is enough
to substantiate feeling among those
who are in a position to observe, that
these prospects are favorable beyond
all recent experience.
Naturally the question rises. Why?
AND the answer can apparently be
compressed into very brief form, name
ly, that the worlds demand for cotton
is increasing by leaps and bounds, while
the production of cotton is not xpect-
ed to show any considerable increase
before the latter part of decade at
the earliest. AS Professor John A. Todd
