SAVE CITY WATER
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

John S. Loofbourow, city clerk,
emphasized warning this morn
ing that people must not fail to
observe the request concerning ir-
rigating from the city water mains,
otherwise the situation may be dis
astrous not only from the point of
view of fire hazard, but also from
the point of view of the comfort
of bathing and the pleasure of
drinking.
Water will be out Of the No.

Thursday and Friday, thereby shut
ing off the water supply. The

irrigation until service is restored
in the No. ditch.

ton and domestic purposes.

AND
DIRECTORS AGREE
TO POSTPONE FAIR

At a joint meeting of the board of
directors Of the associated chambers OF
commerce and executive committee of
the Imperial County Fair association
in Imperial last evening, following
general discussion of the advisahility of
holding county fair in October, the
directors proposed the following res
olution, which will be acted upon at
the next meeting of the associated
chambers in Imperial, August 20:
Whereas, the proposed bond issue of
$4,000 to finance a county fair to be
held in Imperial failed to receive the
required number of votes; and,
Whereas, subsequent plans proposed
to finance said fair have failed to
receive sufficient support: and,
Whereas, the time is now short to
attempt to hold said fair this year;
therefore,
Be it resolved, that the associated
chambers of commerce of Imperial
county, in conjunction with and up
on advice of the board of directors OF
said fair association, do hereby recon-
mend that the plan for holding fair
this year be postponed.
In advertising the fair, the lmpcr-
ial chamber OF commerce has spent ap-
proximately $1100, which the meeting
believed should be borne in part by
the associated chambers of commerce
The fair association also has unpaid
bills amounting to practically the same
sum, and it was the sense of the meet
ing that the individual chambers OF
the valley share in this expense.
After discussing these bills thor
oughly, the meeting decided to have
them audited and the Imperial chamber
of commerce bills paid half and half
by that chamber and the associated
chambers. The fair association bills
will be sent to each individual cham
Der, and their opinions made known
at the next meeting of the associated
chambers, at which disposal of botl
acts of bills will be voted upon by
delegates from individual chambers.
The meeting appointed G. b. Stew
art of Holtville, w. l.. Garrett OF
Brawley, and f. f.. Shacklett OF I'm
perial, a committee to audit both set'
Of bills and report at the next meet
ing of the associated chambers.

Courtship and Marriage of Former
7ammany Leader and Indian Maid
Reads Like Story From Fairy Book

The death in Dublin recently of Rich
ard Croker, former Tammany leade.
brings out stories Of his life that have
never been revealed and political his
torians wih be writing Of him for years
to come. On the ether hand. lew will
write OF his helpmate; his second wife.
Never was "a fairy tale written which
is more daZzling than the rise to for
tune Of Miss Beulah Benton Edmond
son who in 1914 became the second
wife of hh.haTd Croker.
She was born in rude hut of logs
near Tahlequah in 1891, when the In
dian Territory was the ernptying pot
for the adventures. outcasts, and fugi-
tives OF the nation. and largely by her
own efforts she raised herself to a
prominent place in international So
ciety.
Mack Edmondson, who now lives at
Pryor, is her father. He is descended
from race Of adventures who trace
their ancestry back to the Norman con.
quorers Of England. Her mother is
one.sixteenth Cherokee Indian, and is
direct descendant of Sequoyah, the in
ventor Of the Cherokee alphabet.
Birthplace Picturesque.
When the little girl was born, the
family was living in an Indian settle
ment a mile from the sheltering guns
Of the troops stationed at Tahlequah
She received an allotment as did the
father, mother and another sister in
Delaware county and still owns it.
She grew up in her early years
without schooling, but when the Chero.
kee Female Seminary was started at
Tahlequah, Edmondson put the girl
on the back Of a pinto pony and sent
her in to start to school. The school
was run by Missionaries. 1t is now
the Northeastern State Normal
While going to this school, Beulah
learned the story Of Sequoyah, her dis
tinguished ancestor. She determined
that she would do something worthy
Of the memory of the inventor of the
Cherokee alphabet. Being told by her
teachers that she possessed a remark.
able historic talent, she decided that
she would go into the world and inter.
pret the Indian character as it really
was, and not according to the carica
lures of the western novel and drama.
Studied in Chicago.
SO when she was graduated from
| the rude frontier school, she took the
rental from her 160 acre allotment
and went to Chicago to study dramatic
art After a couple years there she
returned. and opened up a studio in

sion for a year.
Then she went to Boston, and gradu

expression there, and went to New York
to give private entertainments, consist
of Indian readings, dances, songs and
historic sketches.
IL was at one of these affairs that
she met Richard Croker, who had jus,
