Jim had never felt more the upstart

was introduced to that audience at
Ames by Professor Wlthers, nor more
completely disgraced than when he
concluded his remarks. Even the ap-
plause was to him kindly effort on
the part of the audience to comfort
him in his failure. His only solace
was the look in Jennie's eyes.

that pertain to farmin'-if there'd been

"And yet" said Jim, "some people

piness? How could he leave the little,
crude, puny structure on which he had
been working-on which he had been
merely practicing- year, and re-
move to the new field?
"Tm afraid 1 can't" said Jim Irwin,

myer.

curious.

"Then I don't see why you want

'Why?" asked Mr.. Hofmyer.

FREAKISH STORM
HITS |. v, MUCH
RAIN in SPOTS
Storm Near Redlands
Puts Our Lights
Out

One of the most freakiNl storms
to visit Imperial Valley in long
time, performed on several occas-
ions yesterday and last night. There
were several showers during the day
and considerable downpour at
night. While the rain was general
throughout the valley, the heaviest
falls occurred near Brawley and the
Acacia school, where it assumed the
proportions of young cloudburst,
flooding the roads and making them
almost impossible. In several
places between this city and Calex-
leo no rain fell at all. the distances
between the rainy sections and the
dry in some cases being only mat
ter of yards.
The storm was general throughout
southern California, and was unus-
ually severe in the vicinity of San
Bernardino and Banning, where it
was accompanied by thunder and
lightning. Several poles belonging
to the Southern Sierras Power Com
pany were struck by lightning some
where near Banning, according to
Joe King, manager of the Holton
Power Company, and interrupted
the company's service in this city
for several hours. The auxiliary
plant in this city was brought into
use and supplied light and power to
a portion of the city for several
hours. Repairs were made tempor-
arily during the night, and today
the company is operating on its high
line. A temporary shutdown may
be necessary tomorrow while the
damaged poles are being replaced,
King said. re-
Road travel between this city and
Los Angeles was reported as being
difficult in places due to water
flooding the highway, though it was
expected this would disappear dur
ing the day. The rain did not in
terfere with traffic on the Southern
Pacific, it was reported at the office
in this city. goa
The official guage registered .37
inch for the storm yesterday in the
valley.

PAIR ARRESTED
In STOLEN CAR
MAY BE WANTED
Men Found Sleeping in
Auto With Gun,
Blackjack
Car Proves to Be One
Stolen in L. A.
Recently

f. L. Morgan and Thomas Youngs,
believed by the police to be desper-
ate characters, were picked up at
midnight laet night by Officer Karl
Westfahl of the Ell Centre police,
while they were sleeping in stolen
Studebaker car which they had
parked Oh Fifth Street between Len
Rey and Wensley avenues. Both
men were armed, Morgan having n
so calibre revolver, and Ioungs a
homemade blackjack.
in making his rounds of the city,
Westfahl noticed the car parked at
the side of the street, and believing
there had been an accident because
of the slippery condition of the
streets, made an investigation and
found the two men asleep in the
rear seat. He consulted his list of
stolen ears, as reported by the
theft bureau Of the Automobile
Club, and found that q Studebaker
car, bearing license plates 532,54O,
was stolen several days ago from F.
A. Utter of Los Angeles. The num-
Der conceded with the license plates
on. the ear occupied by the men.
Westfahl woke them up and nOti'
fled them they were under arrest
Not knowing whether or not the
men were armed, he kept them GOV
cred with his gun, and noticed
A5hngs slide his hand along the seal
in leaving the car. Investigation
showed the blackjack stuck between
the seat and the side of the car
where it could be easily reached
Both men are held in Jail, and the
Los Angeles authorities have been
notified of the arrest. The police
believe both Morgan and 4oungs
NAV be wanted for other crimes in
Los Angeles.
This was the second arrest made
by Westfahl during the night, as he
picked up Floyd Sntton and Herman
johnson little earlier, at the
Southern Pacific station. Sutton
who is only II years old, had a load
ed .32 calibre Savage automatic pis
tol in his pocket. He was turned
over to the juvenile officer, and
Johnson is held in Jail on vagran
cv charge, until his case can be in
vestigated.
