Special Dispatch to the Imperial

Los ANGELES, Feb. 19.-An-
other mystery murder, combining
many of the dramatic features Of
the Staying of, j. Bolton Kennedy,
prominent young broker, and Will
liam Desmond Taylor, famous mo.
ton picture director, has shocked
this city and baffled the police.
Earle Remington, leader in bust
ness and society, club man, an
aviator and a major in the flying
service during the war, was shot
down in cold blood and instantly
killed on the driveway of his pre-.
tentious home, l409 South st. An
drews street, in the heart of the
district of wealth aud fashion,
shortly before midnight on Thurs
day.
Ne.ghbors Aroused
Although the shots aroused many
in the neighborhoOd, the body was
not discovered until Friday morn
ing. Since then the police and de-
tectives have endeavored to solve
the crime only to be forced today
to admit that it far more of a
tangle than ever.
The police feel elements of hate,
jealousy Or revenge, possibly all
three, enter into the case, and have
been compelled to abandon their
original theory that hold-up man
was responsible.
head Of Big Business
Major Remington was SO. He in.
herited the business of the Reming
ton Safe Company, together with
other valuable property from his
father. He himself was a noted
electrical engineer and builder OF
massive vaults. Handsome, fond OF
society and entertaining, he was O

In 1916, Major Remington married
the beautiful and vivacious Virgin
ian, Lola Stone, a classic dancer OF
growing fame. During the war
Mrs. Remington was leader in
soldier relief work and has kept il
up ever since. She planned, how
ever, to return to her former home
in Georgia shortly for a six months
rest, and their home here had just
been placed on the market.
Afraid of Strangers
Shortly after the home was offer
ed for sale, the office of Major Rem
ington was burglarized and hi;
papers searched. The motive wa,
not found. Following this Reming
ton warned his wife not to allow
any strangers on the promises ant

All hope of winning first place in
the Imperial Valley Winter League
by the Ell Centre Scorpions passed
away yesterday when the Calipatria
Sheiks came to town and before
leaving platstered a 3 to 0 defeat
on the local team. Though tho Scor-
pions tried their hardest to put over
win, fate was against them. and
they were compelled to accept a
whitcwash defeat. go
The game was q, very good one
and it was no fault of the local
boys that they did not come through
with n victory. The breaks of the
game went against them, and the
Sheiks played brand of ball good
enough to beat any team. Bill
Tackett was on the mound for the
Scorpions and pitched good ball.
! Shaney did the twirling for the
Sheiks and with excellent support
from his team mates, came through
q winner.
Independents Lose
The Independents also met with
defeat yesterday, taking 5 to 9
trimming at the hands of the Cal
exicO Camels in the border city. The
independents had the game Eraeti-
cally cinched in the seventh inning
when owing to d high wind which
was blowing at the time, Connolly
misjudged a fly ball, and before Cal.
exico could be stopped, they had
the game sewed up. The fact that
there were two down at the time,
made the defeat all the more dis
agreeable for the local bunch. Man
