in all of the valley towns, yesterday
filed suit against the firm for $4,000.
Mr.. Buck has been in the hospital
for many weeks and it is said will be
permanently injured as result of the
collision which occurred near Seeley.
Regarding the suit, the BraWley News
has the following to say:
Asserting that bodily and mental in
juries to the extent of $75 900 resulted
from the automobile accident of March
l3, when F. E. Buck, manager of the
California Central Crcameries and
Miss Harriet NJ. Templeton were vic
tins of an accident near Seeley At
torneys~for Mr. Buck and Miss TEN.
pleton have filed suit for that amount
in the Imperial county Superior court
Buck asks $4,000 and Miss Templeton
$4,000 damages.
The suit is against the Armer G
Brown company, corporation OF Los
Angeles. Meyer Keber, aged IS, driv-
ing a light truck for this corporation
is alleged to have carelessly driven his
car SO close to the Buck car that the
wheels touched and the car plunged
off the road. Buck has been in the
hospital since the accident and is said
to be permanently injured.
Answering the complaint the defen-
dant corporation asserts that the fault
lay with the driver of the Buck car,
Miss Alice Meyer, and denies that the
Keber boy was responsible for the ac-
cident in any way.

More"Gas At
Brawley Well

At depth of 24OO feet the Braw-
ley oil we'll yesterday ran into the
heaviest pocket of gas yet encount-
cred and only by careful attention is
a blow out prevented.
This is the statement made by a
field man who came in this morning
and who is constantly on the work at
the well. He believes that well in
big paying quantity may be brought
in now at any time.
President Frank Beal also visited
the we'll yesterday and reports the
conditions the same as above. He is
becoming even more enthusiastic than
he has been heretofore on the pros
poets. The well is going ahead rapid
ly now and the directors have in
structed that the drill continue until
"big pay" is struck.
The we'll has never been "bailed
out" so that the owners themselves
don't know how much oil they have if
the drill is pulled back to the 1900
foot point where they know oil was
coming out strong.

JUDGE THOMAS IS
WELL SUPPORTED

While leading members of the bench
and bar throughout the state are Gin
ing up" behind Judge William H
Thomas in his campaign to succeed
himself as Judge of the District Court
of Appeal, second district, California
women are rushing into an intensified
campaign for the last ten days before
the primaries.
Under direction of Mrs. ]. D. Tay-
lor of Los Angeles, former first vice
president of the California Congress
of Mothers, women all over the second
district who are interested in moral
and welfare conditions, as they can
be regulated by the high courts of the
land, are joining the forces to secure
Judge Thomas election.
The jurist's many years of work for
causes that women hold close to their
hearts, such as suffrage, prohibition,
child welfare and specific laws further
ing the cause of woman's equality with
man in the eyes of the. law, have
called women from all ranks into the
Thomas camp. Many candidates this
year, from the Pacific coast to the At
lantic. are "scurrying to cover under
a suffrage banner, Mrs. Taylor points
out, but Judge Thomas has only to
continue in the way he has always
gone to be at the head of the suffrage
supporters.
"Judge Thomas made his first suf-
frage speech when he was s years
DID," Mrs. Taylor said. And it shows
not only his interest in suffrage, but
the simon pure quality of his sense OF
Justice. His father had been away
from home all day and got back lati
in the evening. Asked where he hac
been, he said there had been an elec
ton and he had been working at The
polls. His children asked what thai
meant and he explained. Then the lit
tie round-eyed boy who now is grown
and is our judicial candidate fixed +;

ed, "Father, if that's what an electio,
is, why wasn't mother there"
Judge Thomas has been endorse,
by leading attorneys, business men
clergy and social workers in all part
of the second district and the womel
predict that they will "put him over

FAIL TO RECEIVE
BIDS FOR POST OFFICE

Although the city of Brawley plans
on having a new postoffice and bids
have been advertised for during the
past few weeks, the post mistress has
so far failed to receive any such bids.
The time limit under which bids
can be accepted has been set for not
later than August 81. The mater is
one in which the leading citizens will
probably hold general meeting over,
possibly under the supervision of the
Commercial Club, in order to get a
site and building that will suit the
most people.
There were several sites discussed
when the matter was up before but
the approach of summer caused re-
quest to go to Inspector Jarvis for a
postponement and the new date fixed
was August 81.
