r. f. Weston, "a, of Los Angeles,
died yesterday afternoon at INLAND

hours. 1t is believed that death
came from exposure to the heat.
Weston, who gave instructions
shortly before he lost consciousness

man, whose name was not learned,
had been camping near Flowing
Wells on the desert, for several
days. Their automobile, loaded with
prospecting equipment, had broken
down near where they had been
camping. Weston had come to Nj
land for supplies and shortly after
he had eaten hearty meal, he ba-
came i'll.
Coroner B. f Lemons was called
to INLAND to get the body last
night, and although he waited for
several hours while a party went
out into the desert to search for
the companion of Weston. No word
had been received when he returned
to FL Centre. He brought the body
back with him and is awaiting in
structions from Los Anglees as to
funeral arrangements.
j. A. Quin of Calipatria was
brought to the count yfarm yester-
day when he became i'll from expos
ure to the heat.
Mrs. Joel Peoples of Imperial was
also taken to the county farm suf-
fcring from prostration.

Shower in
Hills This
Morning

According to telephone mess
ages received in El Centre, a
thunder shower was in progress
in the hills this morni1g, rain
starting to fall in heavy sheets
about 1890 a. m. It was evident
ly a passing storm and bid fair
to last about an hour. This means
that everything in the hills will
be fresh and invigorating for
the weekend valley crowd, which
will probably be unusually large
this week owing to the hot
weather.
The benefit supper and dance
to be given at Live Oaks tonight
for the. Shotwell family will
doubtless attract many, and the
prospects are that the 'old
home town will be pretty well
deserted all day tomorrow.
