IN TROUBLE THROUGH
ISSUING BAD CHECK

Claud Baker was arrested this week
charged with issuing bad check and
his case was heard in justice court,
where he had some difficulty convinc-
ing the justice and county attorney
that he had no intention of commit
ting fraud when he gave the check.
The facts showed that h gave it in
July, and, although the holder of the
check had written him several times
and he had been notified at least once
by the justice that an action might
come at any time, Mr.; Baker had de-
liberately ignored all and "just let
them wait" On this statement Of
facts the justice was of the opinion
that, since he had not made the
slightest effort to take up the check
he must have intended to let it de-
fault in the first place. Mr.. Baker
was facing a jail sentence of thirty
days as a consequence and would

AUTO ovERTURN PROVES
FATAL TO THE DRIVER

Charles H Dinger of Belmont
township, died Thursday of injuries
received in the overturn Of his car
the Monday previous. The funeral
services were held Sunday at the
Methodist church Of Zenda, by Rev.
E. M. Ely Of Pretty Prairie, an old
friend of the family, and Rev. W, H.
Patterson of Zenda, and burial made
in the Cleveland cemetery. The Ma
sonic lodge had charge of the burial
service.
Mr.. Dinger, accompanied by his
wife and their son Willard, had gone
to the home of daughter, Mrs
Ethan Gracey who was very i'll. Mrs.
Dinger remained to care for her and
he and his son started home. A
quarter of a mile or so south of the
Gracey place he came to small
bridge where he somehow lost con-
troll or the car and it swerved to the
side and went off turning completely
over and pinning Mr.. Dinger be-
meath Willard was thrown, clear.
Mr.. Dinger sustained some internal
injuries in the chest and abdomen,
which at first did not threaten to be
serious, but in the course of few
days brought on his death.-Kingman
journal.

have had it given him but for the
Intervention of his banker, who prov
ed to the satisfaction Of the court that
the defendant had arranged for TAX
ing up all harvest checks, but the
bank had been unable to handle them
and had been obliged to turn some
of them back. Mr.. Baker was per-
mitted to pay the check and all costs,
and thereupon released.
Under the law, the maker of a
bad check may have the action
abated if he proves that he had a
deposit or credit with the bank with
in thirty days previous and that his
behavior toward the obligation since
it accrued was that of a man who
intended to make good; plus the pay
ment of the check and all costs.
The mere deposit is not sufficient.
The, judge must be able to find that
the defendant made some effort aft
er receiving notice; or be justified in
concluding that the check was given
with fraudulent intention.
Mr. Baker escaped sentence by
the merest scratch The next case
that comes along may not fare so
well.-Kingman Journal

WORK STOPS ON THE
K. & o. RAILROAD


All work of construction has stop
ped on the Kansas & Oklahoma rail
road in east Stevens. The first three
miles of road has been completed up
to the new townsite of Woods. About
a mile west of Woods the grade was
built and then the company confront
ed their first difficulty in the way of
securing right-of-way. The land
owners here refused to allow the road
right-of-way without remuneration.
The graders then moved to the Trav-
ers ranch where right-of-way was
given through this property. AS we
understand the situation this is about
all of the right-of-way that will be
donated. The balance of the way,
something like ten or twelve miles,
will have to be bought. Several ru-
mors are going the rounds as to the
future outcome of the road. The re-
naming distance to HugOton, the
road as scheduled, passes through a
lot of valuable farms, and in one in
stance set of improvements must
be moved This is also through that
part of the township where the farm
ers were opposed to the bond issue,
so it is expected that the right-of-way
problem will be stubbornly fought

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
The Pull Stroke in Batting
Copyright 1922, by the International Syndicate

The Pull is the general stroke used
by all battcrs. 1t is the natural stroke
of the beginner and, especially for right
handed hitters, the most effective stroke
in the game. The Pull will not only
send the ball farther, make it travel
faster than any other stroke, it will,
for the right-handed batter, send the
ball towards left field which is farthest
from first base, the point on which
plays must be made when the batter
hits ground ball. When there is a
base runner. on first or second the Pull
stroke is not so good for the right
handler for it gives infielders more op-
portunity to put out the leading base
runners or make double play than the
Drive or the Cut. Indeed, with runners
on first or second, the Cut to right fled
is the really effective stroke for right
handed batters. For left-hanGers the
Pull also to right field is the proper
stroke.
The important things to be remem-
bered in making the Pull are:
l. Hit the ball while it is well in
front of the plate.
2. Keep level bat, swing the body
into the ball and follow through.

OWNERS APPRECIATE
VALUE OF SERVICE

Owners appreciate more than ever
before the extent and nature of the
dealer service that should accompany
the purchase of a motor car. Service
has become Il consideration of major
Importance and few are the cautious
buyers today who do not give careful
thought before purchasing, to the ele-
ments that enter into satisfactory
service.
What in other days might have been
quite incidental to the sale of car is
now a necessary and fundamental part
of a sale. Not only does the buyer ex-
pect Il car that is scientifically engi-
ncered and efficiently manufacturer
but in addition he makes certain that
the car will perform satisfactorily un-
der normal use and care and that the
organization marketing the ear is cap
able of rendering competent and econ
oInical service.
In other words, the buyer feels that
he should not only get a car mechanic
ally sound but also the means of safe
guarding his investment--the protec,
ton afforded by Il service organization
4; us efficient and thorough as that Of the
manufacturer producing the car.
Imperial Valley press., 1922-05-06

8. Try to Pull the ball as close to
the foul line as possible.
The Pull (to right field, is not so
good a stroke for left-handers for it
pulls the ball close to first base, where
plays are made on infield grounders,
gives the second baseman the advantage
of the short throw, etc.
Then when the left-hander Pulls he
sacrifices the natural advantage he has,
especially if fast of foot, when hitting
towards the third baseman.
If left-handed hitter is fast of foot,
he can compel the third baseman to
play close for threatenend bunt. That
deprives the third baseman of chance
to cover much ground on batted ball
and makes it easier to cut a ball di-
rectly through him. If the third base
man plays back, in his regular position,
the fast left handed hitter can lay down
bunt and beat the throw to first base.
So right handed hitter should make
the Pull his major stroke while the
left ft-handed hitter should make the Cut
his main reliance.

WIERD TALES ARE
FURNISHED BY
FOXY FISHERMEN

The guy who is able to turn the bus
iGess over to the office flunky every
weekend while he hies to the noun
tains for some spicy fishing is certain
" to be envied. Imperial Valley MIN
rods are said to be visiting the lakes
and ripping streams these days re-
turning home with loads of fish and
long and detailed yarns how the big
gest one he ever saw managed to get
away.
Mother Nature is foxy old dame
tor she completely forgot to stake out
bodies Of silent water in the valley.
Biologists and historians say the spot
now occupied by the city of Ell Centre
was once covered by salt water. The
thunder gods one day shook the terra
f;rma and caused the said water to
leave the area. The funny thing about
it all is that the thunder gods shook
too hard and failed to leave the much
cherished lakes.
Getting back to the original motive
for this story, folks are telling the
sport editor of big catches, particular
" black bass. The bass is game
specimen and furnishes the nimrod lots
Of entertainment-sOme times. One
prominent business man in the county
seat tells this one:
"We were up to Moreno Dam 'tother
day and snaked quite a bunch Of bass
from the pond. AS Jack was rowing
the tub to the shore | threw my wob-
bier out for tow. Slick as q whistle
something pulled at the end Of the
line. Fought the beezer about three
1nI n1o IN
the boat. We all got excited and Fred,
sitting in the bow saw the fellow 8
head and made crack at it and missed.
Yes, it got away. And ] swear it was
nigh three feet long. 1t must have
been a sea ion," yarned the disap-
pointed angler.
Many fishing parties returned from
Moreno last Monday morning with fair
size catches. One party consisted of G.
j. Phelps, Walter Auffderhyde, Glenn
Rice, Harry Rogers, Bill Reed and Bob
Fahs. According to Phelps the gang
landed 40 beauties and would have
hooked more. had it not been for heir
desire to see the other folks on the
lake get few, too.
Frank Richmond, county gam e
warden, sends out q proclamation of
precaution to every one in the valley
wishing to fish A fishing license must
be procured along with the tackle and
both are necessary, he states. Frank
has issued a great number of official
slips already this year and reports from
other places where fish certificates are
issued Indicate many more will seek
pleasure during the summer months.
The foxy bass is living in the deep
! waters at this time of the season and
live bait is recommended. Some lucky
fishermen declare the artificial variety
IS fooling the bass but not as much as
it will later in the year.
Little is known of trout activities to
date. The Bowlder Creek in San Diego
county usually offers the sportsman ex-
cellent hunting grounds for the speck-
led beauts. A local party left for the
] creek this afternoon and they will pre-
sent an affidavit to the effect they
made a. record catch on their mountain
visit. The affidavit will be hung on
| the walls at the chamber of commerce
Monday morning Anglers are requested
to communicate with the Press in case
| they have fish stories. Who can tell
the biggest one?
