will be shown tonight only at the
Palace theater is a splendid motion
picture which presents the policeman
as an ordinary every day man with
troubles of his own instead of as butt
for the jibes and joshing of an incon-

was not able to procure longer show
ing of the picture here due to the many
demands for it from all over the coun-

A thrilling bank robbery, the shoot

and good dramatic action throughout
the play. The two sons and the adopt
ed daughter of Officer O'Hara are each
involved in serious trouble but event

considered.
The annual flow of the Colorado
river, it is estimated, is approximately

which is to be added to irrigation in
the seven states~is 6,540 acres which
win require 1851 900 acre feet of
water actually consumed, engineers say
and the amount of water required for
diversion is 1862, 900 acre feet.

! HUNT FOR KILLER
OF HOLTVILLE MAN
Frank Ruelos, Manager OF
HOltville Hotel Shot
by Guests Husband
Mexican Suspected Hunted
All Over County by
Law Officers

Police officials are today searching
for Thomas Camerilla of Calipatria, his
wife, and another unknown Mexican
woman, following the shooting of
Frank Ruelos in Holtville last night by
Camerilla, according to the story told
Deputy Sheriff f. E. Cummings by
shooting.
Sanchez told the police that Gamer
lila IS wife had left her home in Cali
patria and came to Holtville to live in
a rooming house conducted by Ruelos.
Last night the woman's husband came
to the rooming house to induce her to
return to Calipatria with him and had
succeeded in inducing her to leave with
him when Ruelos suggested that they
stay overnight as it was getting too
late to travel back to Calipatria.
Camerilla told Ruelos to "keep your
nose out of my affairs,' according to
Sanchez, and the men started quarrel
ing. Becoming angered, Camerilla drew
his gun and shot Ruelos, the man dying
shortly afterward.

the shot and hurried to the rooming
house and then notified the sheriff s
office. Undersheriff Harry Barker and

ing house. Sanchez told a straightfor-

whose pitiful lives are purposeless,
dwelt Lillian White, the helpless vic
tim of her ancestors: every bit as
much their victim as she WAS the
prey of the man who slew her on
Haverstraw mountain.
Heiress to a legacy OF disease and
alcoholism, she managed even In
this institution. where men and
women are supposed TO be kept
apart, TO find pale companions.
Concerning this:
"Letchworth makes a great effort
to maintain respectability,' declares
Grant Williams, men and women
are not allowed free association
There is not enough money to run
the place and II is a foolish economy
not TO make more financial outlay
there"
Ever since last September. when
Lillian ran away from Letchworth
there naturally has been specula-
ton as TO her whereabouts. Some
school boys unwittingly precipitated
climax in the mystery lately
when they uncovered packages OF
bones wrapped in an old news
paper.
Mrs Mary Hamilton. attached to
Chief Inspector Lahey's staff, was
assigned to work on the case. Re
ceiving permission to take the skull
TO New York. she had recourse TO
Captain williams skill in recon-
struction, and therefore gave the
skull TO the former director OF the
Missing Persons Bureau with the
excellent result that he created an
almost unbelievably exact likeness
OF the slain Lillian White.
