Bullets Halt
Fleeing Auto

Belief that gang of thieves was
routed up by traffic officers last
night in the arrest of four men
near Calexico was expressed by off.
Gals this morning. The men, or
dered to stop as they drove past
the officers in a machine, ridiculed
the demand and attempted to speed
away in the car. Several we'll d.
rected bullets took the wind out Of
the rear tires of the escaping car
and the men were lodged in the Jail
at Calexico.
The apparent leader of the four
gave his name % NJ. NJ. Gonzales.
A charge of driving while intoxi-
Gated was placed against him while
charges of drunkenness were brought
against the other three. Two gave
their names as MARTENS and the
other as Vcrasco.
Traffic Officers J. Fl. Tackctt
and +. B. Ackley effected the ar
rests. Investigation of the ear
showed that a considerable supply
of mechanic s tools were in posses
sion Of the men. No licenses to
show ownership of the car or eligi-
bility to drive the machine could
be produced by the men. An in
vestigation into the case is being
conducted.

Smith Case Opens
In Superior Court

Question over the lawful owner.
ship of the money, alleged to have
been embezzled by Walter d. Smith
former city treasurer of Imperial
while he was holding office was
brought up before Judge Finney in
superior court, department two, this
morning. The defense had filed a
demurrer against counts . and {
OF the complaint. asccrtaining that
no name of the owner of the funds
had been listed in these counts as
required by law. The court took the
matter under adviscment and will
render verdict Tuesday morning.
1t was brought ont at the hearing
this morning that the fund, amount
ing to $2lS.46, was listed as the
property of the bondsmen in counts
two and four. Judge Hervey, de.
Tense attorney. declared that this
was insufficient due to the fact that
hundreds of bondsmen could be
named to the city of Imperial.
AS the arguments of the respective
counsels progressed il was brought
out that the fund had been placed
in the hands of the treasurer by the
city, set aside for a certain purpose
That othe city in setting aside this
amount for such purpose released
its ownership, While this belief
prevailed at first it was later init,
mated that the city was still in
point of law, the owner of the
money and it is believed that upon
this belief the court will render its
verdict.
