Sentence of Alvino Mendez and

nesday of first degree murder for
the killing of Mike Fornasero at
Meloland on January 2, was post
poned by Judge M. w. Conkling, in
Department No. 9 OF the superior
to the court this morning,
court this morning until Tuesday,
April 3, to enable counsel for the
men to submit arguments for Il new
spectators, drawn there by the
trial, motions for which were made
The courtroom was crowded with
threats made by friends of the ac-
cused men against court officials
who participated in the trial. Moth
ing sensational developed however,
and there were few frineds of the
men present. Several deputy sher-
ifs were stationed about the court
room as precautionary measure,
but their services were not needed.
Caz.res and Mendez sat quietly
in the, prisoner S section and made
no sigl that they were interested
at All in the proceedings. Mendez
e-ccntinued to ST sstiffly in his chair,
with his eyes east toward the floor.
Cazares seemed slightly more drawn
and worried than he was last week
and evidently is beginning to real
iZe that there is little chance for
him to escape the extreme penalty
of the law this time.
Mexico Satisfied
Juan Prieto Quemper, Mexican
vice-consul at CaleXico, was in this
city today but not present in court.
He stated that he has asked for a
transcript of the proceedings of the
trial Of the men which he will sub
nit to his government. This action is
taken, he explained, solely that the
Mexican government may be acquain-
ted with the facts in the ease and
there is not intention or
desire on the part of the
Mexican officials to inter
fere with the decision in the
lease. He said if the men are guilty
&hey should be punished and as ajury
has found them responsible for the
crime, the law must take its course.
He paid a high tribute to the of
ficials of Imperial County for the
splendid spirit of cooperation
shown toward the Mexican author
tiles in the apprehension of Grimm
ais on both sides of the line, and
said the best interests of law and
order in Mexico and the United
States demands that the officials
of both countries work in harmony
with each other. In order to do
this he says governmental cred
tape must be disregarded at times
by officials of both countries, and
he believes the end justifies the
MEANS.
Opposes New Trial
District Attorney Ernest r. Utley
stated this morning he will strenu-
ously oppose any motion for a new
trial and will do all in his power to
persuade the court that the verdict
of the jury must be carried out. He
paid a high tribute to the work of
Frank Spencer and A. B. Robbins,
connected with the criminal inves-
tigation of the district attorney S

sisting the sheriff S office to ap-
prehend the slayers of Fornasero.

/ friends. Tom received enough candy
during that day to last him and his
"bunch of regular fellows" for several
days.
Habit Nearly Skaters Hopes.
When he was in the fourth grade
the townfolk began to fear for Toms
future as a public speaker.
1t was in this grade that one of
Toms classmates was in the habit of
suffering. Tom initiated him and
soon was in the same fix. He became
miserable, for he could hardly read
without suffering He tried with
all his might to overcome this handi-
cap and succeeded to a great extent.
His father owned herd of cows and
every evening and morning Tom
would drive them to and from the
pasture. TIE took this opportunity of
overcoming his suffering habit, b.
making himself talk constantly to the
cows. He would take one word and
say it over and over, addressing the
cows each time. This was a wonder
full help.
He taught school for three years
after which he went into business
with his father. 1t was in 1913 When
the family of Etheridges moved to
San Antonio. When he moved here
he. had been selling merchandise on
the road for some time and was
crack salesman. In 1920 he quit the
"selling game" in real estate and be-
came one Of the principal employees
of Rogers-Hill Company, real estate
firm. Here he made an exceptionally
good record. When the San Antonio
Building and Loan Association was
organized Mr.. Etheridge had charge
of the sales department.
1t was at FL Paso last year at the
real estate board convention that II.
G. Irish, local real estate man, made
him a proposition" he could not af-
ford to turn down, so today he is
sales manager for Mr.. Irish, and is
engaged in selling the Highlands and
other Irish subdivisions of San An
tonic.
In 1917 Mr.. Etheridge was sent by |
the San Antonio Salesmanship club |
to Detroit to the Worlds Salesman
ship Congress, as representative |
speaker. He won his usual bunch of
laurels there.

in conversation with a friend, despite
the nature or the size of the crowd.
However. this is quite contrast with
his condition several years ago when
he could hardly talk at all because of
suffering.
Talent shows When 4 Years Old.
"Tom." as he is better known to
thousands of San Antonians, boasts
of being "longhorn." In 1880 he
was born in Hallsville, Harrison
county. II was four years after this
that he first received recognition as
a story teller and speaker. At that
time the townfolk "just knew Tom
would be a great speaker some day."
and apparently their dreams are COM
ing true-even more so, however. if
he wins the cup next week. Here is
the story of how Toms folks first
discovered his speaking talent.
Tom lived in the small town of
Hallsville. His old home was situat-
ed within several hundred feet of the
I. & p. railroad. Living several
miles from the Etheridge's off the
railroad was an old grandma, one of
those dear old souls who wore her
glasses on the end of her nose, dip
ped snuff and usually wore an old
gray Bingham apron. One day she
came over to see the Etheridge's. She
and Tom were on the front porch of
the Etheridge home one morning at
the time the cannon ball. a +. &
p. fast train, came through the town.
1t had been several months since the
old grandmother had seen a railroad
train and when it came laundering
through the small village of course
she became a bit excited. Standing
on the steps of the porch and partly
hunched over the old lady pointed, a
finger at the train and be-
gan counting the coaches. "One, two,
three, four-seven coaches Tom and
lawd knows she's FLYNN" she said.
Her actions impressed Tom, who was
only four years of age, as exceeding
~ funny.
That evening he went to town
where he saw his father. He told
him the story of the old grandmother
counting the cars, etc., whereupon the
father was impressed with the way
Tom told the story and during the day
had him relate it to many of his

A. M. Dunton Has Resigned
AS the Potato Secretary
Sewers Official Coectios with Com.
mittee as Aid to New Movement
Has Finished Objective

A. M. Dutton, who has been serv-
ing as a member of the general state
potato organization committee and
secretary of the executive board, has
resigned. The vacancy has not been
filled, though negotiations are under
way to obtain the services of Ed
ward Barr, secretary of the Agri-
cultural subcommittee Of the st.
Paul Association.
In resigning, Mr.. Dunton told the
board that for the past year he had
two objects in mind. First, he
wanted to see the potato marketing
problem in Minnesota solved, and
second, he wanted the affairs of old
Minnesota Potato Exchange placed in
in such shape that it could retire
from the field honorably. Inasmuch
as both detectives appear about to
be realized, he desired to be relieved
of official connections with the move
ment.
Another reason for his resigning,
he said, was to remove all implica-
ton of connections between the Old
Exchange and the new movement.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1923-06-28

Because he was general manager of
the Old Exchange, it has been but
natural for persons dissatisfied with
the Service rendered by that institu-
ton to blame him, as an individual,
rather than the organization, for its
shortcomings. While Mr.. Dunton is
no longer officially connected with
the movement, he will continue to
urge it as the only solution of the
potato marketing problem in the
Northwest.
In accepting his resignation, mem
bers of the board complimented Mr..
Dunton for the manner in which he
worked to straighten out the affairs
of the Old Exchange and his efforts
to make it possible for the new work
to get under way.

Festive Despite Privileges

Bavaria agreed to alliance with Prussia in 1866 just before the Franco-German war. It has been uneasy under the yoke of the northern state, although it had more votes in the Reichstag than any other state save Prussia and had independent control over its posts, telegraph, rail- ways. and army. The picturesque history of Bavaria, which has been ruled for more than a century by counts of the house of Wittelsbach, makes it magnifed Graustark.
 Before the world war Bavaria had another name which fitted perfectly with her dukes and duchesses and her music. Bavaria was Toyland Nuremberg is noted the world over for toys.

 The Romance of Oberammcrgau
 Tn 1884 plague swept Bavaria and in one mountain valley a band of peasants pledged a celebration to God every ten years if the curse was lifted. For three hundred years these country folk have kept faith. Their little village. Oberammergau, is now known the world over and thou sands of people come to witness this unique spectacle amid the hills which portrays the story of Christ.
 "The continuance of this festival years of strife and trouble in all Europe is distinctive of the Ba- varian valley.
