For two weeks it has been subject

Ell Yesterday afternoon that some OF
Fornasero g cattle had strayed into
a field which he was irrigating. Be
ing busy with his own work, Church
did not investigate. When he called
this morning, he was shocked to see
the three children lying near the
ditch bank in their terrible condi-
ton, half frozen from the cod and
suffering intensely from their
wounds. He then saw the body of
Forlasero in the yard, and after
taking the children to mis- house, and
doing what little he could Cor the
woman, notified the authorities.
Foreign People
Fornasero was a Swiss Italian,
and had lived near MelOland for
several years. He was well known
in the vicinity, and was not known
to have any enemies. The authori-
ties believe robbery was the motive
for the crime, ana that the thieves
were disappointed, as Fornasero kept
all his money in Holtvillc bank.
His body Was brought to Mulligan 3
undertaking parlors, where an in
quest will be conducted late this
afternoon by Coroner Peterson.
The authorities are eagerly await

Of the Mexicans that might lead to
tAeir capture, though they admit it

Oner in the county Jail, pending ad-

er or not he should be deported from
this country, although he has pessed

Singh accepted the invitation of
several Mexicans TO cross the line
into Mexico for short visit yester-
day, and passed several hours on
Mexican Territory. At the conelu-
si0nof his visit, he started for home
and was crossing the international
inc at the C-M ranch, when he was
taken into custody by Frank Ellis,

According 10 Ellis, under q ruling
issued by the government, Hindus
who leave the United States after

allowed to re-enter the country.

per car of over three persons.
A survey of the ears marked eight
from Wisconsin, two from Ohio.
four from Oregon, one from North
Dakota, ono from Utah, three from
Texas. three from Indiana and one
from Kansas, with large number
from various sections of California.
Quite cosmopolitan crowd to be
sure. And they are tourists in the
full sense of the word, driving
through the state to see the country
and coming at the end to Imperial
Valley, whose fame has gone abroad
to the utmost corners of the United
States.

Commissioner Travcrs stated that
the above record is not unusual.
Every day the camp ground is fill
ed with ears, and he estimates that
an average of 800 people day may
be counted there. This would mean
5000 strangers a month within the
gates of the city.>
Mr.. Travers estimated that this
means at least $4,000 u month spent
with supply men here, but one o
the tourists interviewed said that
the commissioner s estimate was far
too conservative. lie said that
travel by auto is more or less eN
pensive; that in addition to the
groceries and supplies needed, many
of the cars had to be repaired on
the way and that few of them ever
left FL Centro without some auto eX-
penditurc in addition to gas and oil.
This man had Travelled with his party
of four from Portland, Oregon, stop
ping along the way at municipal
camp grounds.
He stated that he had interviewed
many of the campers at each place;
that they are tourists, and not out
hunting for work as many suppose;
that they prefer this method Of
travel and enjoy the camping when
conditions are right for them.
lie had talked to many now in the
FL Centre camp, and had found no
