Strong political influences are at

Demand Precedes
Tragedy

In drunken rage Joe T. Gram
mer, 48, n farmer of Holtville shot
and killed w. Tigrow, sheep herd
er who was working for /. 7. shaw,
| shooting him in the head, opposite
Grammer's place on the highway 10
/ miles north of Holtville, shortly be-
fore noon Sunday.
AS far as can be gathered from
the men mixed up in the killing,
Grammer was drunk at the time.
Grammer claims that Tigrow came
to this house and demanded $2c00
for alleged sheep stealing, and al
tered his story later to the anne unit
of $1,000, while Mexican womsn
says Tigrow demanded $500.
Tigrow is said to have gone to
Grammer s house with Joe Hershey,
driving a Ford, Hershey stating thia
Tigrow had lost a sheep. having
left the sheep on the road when
driving the flock in. On going back
to pick it up, he saw where a car
had gone by the place, and Tigrow
and Hershey traced the ear to Gram
mer's place.
What took place then seems 10
be uncertain, the accounts being IN
coherent, the only person who ap-
pears to have n calm, dispassionate
idea of the tragedy being Mexi-
can woman. 1t appears that II
grow was armed and an alteration
ensued between the men, and Grams
mer shot at Tigrow with shotgun,
! killing him instantly.

| the edge of the ditch opposite
! Grammer s house when the shooting
took place, and when Sheriff Char
les l.. Gillett and Deputy s. Oswalt

touched.
After the shooting Grammer dis
appeared in Ford, and his deserip-

from the ranks of the government s

the Elk Hills naval reserve leases

Company obtained the 'contract to
construct storage facilities for over
4 100000 barrels Of fuel oil at Pearl

The defense is expected TO take

Devoid of Sensation
The entire trial thus far has been
levoid of sensations. With the ex-
option of the signature of former
Secretary Fall on the 100000 note,
Produced by Mrs. Doheny, not one
urprise has been sprung by either
ide. Practically all of the testi-
nony brought out so far was first

winter. Attendance at the trial has !
