Fire. Chief Ferguson Asks Public
to Cooperate in Reducing Fire
Hazard During Christmas Holidays

mess will not continue until some
body is seriously injured or possibly
killed in collision with the fire
apparatus while responding to an
alarm.
"Another point that should be
mentioned to the people, is the ne
cessity of staying at Il fire box when
an alarm is given, so that the de-
partment may be directed to the
scene of the fire. said the chief
Gotten after giving the alarm, a
person will rush back to the fire,
leaving the members of the depart
ment to hunt for il as best they
can, thereby consuming much Valu-
able time.
"People should never be hesitant
about notifying the department IN
case they have reason to believe
there is a fire. If the circumstances
do not seem serious enough to war
rant an alarm, they should telephone
fire headquarters where a man is al
WAYS on duty. and he will be only
too glad to make an Investigation.
Utmost Care Necessary
Only the other week a woman in
this city believed there was some
thing wrong at her home and asked
that man go out to make an m
spection. Though no outward sign
of fire could be SCIENTIFIC man
crawled under the house and discoV-
cred that the fireplace had heated
the joists underneath the floor until
they were ready to break into flame
at the first air that struck them.
The smoldering joists were extin-
guished and precautions taken to
prevent a recurrence of the incident.
Telephone alarms should be
given clearly and the exact location
of the fire made known to the de-
partment, If people will keep cool
on such occasions and use a little
common sense, it will assist the fire
men greatly and enable us to render
the maximum of protection, which
has always been our enfeavor."

MAY HAVE new
TRIAL FOR MEN
in ARSON CASE
Dismissal of New Trial
for SavinOvich and
Friends

Copy of the opinion of the APP
pellate Court in the case of the
people of the state of California YER
sus Charles Savinovich, William
Rupar and William Markovich, has
been filed today with the county
clerk The opinion, rendered Sep
TENDER so, reverses the judgment of
the superior court of Imperial Coun-
ty which sentenced the men to
prison after they had been found
guilty of arson .by a jury.
The three men were formerly
proprietors of the San Francisco
Grill at 667 Main street, FL Centre.
The restaurant was burned during
the night of October ., 1921 and
shortly afterward the proprietors
were arrested, charged with setting
fire to it.
Following their conviction, they
asked for new trial, which was de-
MED. They then appealed the case.
Savinovich has been at liberty on
bail, bat Rupar and Markovicll have
been confined in the county Jail
since they were arrested.
The case has developed a queer
angle in the fact that Ernest r. Ut
ley, who. defended the men, and Sc
cured the order of reversal from the
Appellate Court, will be the district
attorney o fthe county after the
first of the year, and unless the
case is dismissed, will have to pros
ecute his former clients. In the
event the case should come to trial
again, it is probable, said Mr.. Utley,
that the attorney general will APP
point special prosecutor to conduct
the case for the state.
The opinion reversing the superior
court s Judgment was rendered by
Justice Shaw, with Justices Conrey
and James concurring.

made it serious.
Wanamaker, one of the merchant
pioneers of America, was born July

family moved to Indiana but return
ed to Philadelphia in 1856.
Anxious to engage in business,
Wanamaker obtained a position in

This was the foundation of his for
tune.
Upon the outbreak of the Civil

but was excused on account of his
physical condition.
On April II, 1861, the day Fort
Sumner was cannonaded, he opened

Nab, commanding the Twenty Fifth
Infantry here, giving permission to
American aviators to cross the in
ternational line to search for Colonel
Francis Marshal and Lieutenant
Charles Weber, missing army avia-
tors who are lost in the desert.
Word was brought here today that
n Mexican in Nogales, Sonora, re-
turning from Saric, a Mexican town,
saw two men in uniform walking
half mile distant from him. He
did not stop and said he was unable
to judge whether they were the miss
ing aviators or not.
Colonel McNab is investigating
the report and he has ordered sever
al planes to comb the country in the
vicinity of Saric. Several automo-
bile parties have started in that di-
rection.
The report that Colonel Marshall
and Lieutenant Charles Weber are
in the hands of Mexican bandits is
given no credence here.
Local army officers point out that
no bandits are operating in this dis
triet and that the friendliest feeling
exists along all portions of the
border toward the scarchers.
