Diamond Dust
BY "LEB"

La Feria Nighthawks have add
ed first baSeman Bill Midkiff and
second baseman Gill Johns TO their
club. Both are ex-memberS OF the
San Benito Saints and we're re-
leased yesterday to make room for
some new talent. Midkiff has
played spectacular ball for the
Saints but a recent batting slump
brought about his release. Johns,
the ex A. & NJ. star, has been
handicapped through the past few
weeks by an injured leg. Both
men should give the Hawks some
added power in the field and at
bat.
Flores, the McAllen Palm relief
hurler and outiielder, was credited
with his first defeat this season
when the Saints pounded out a 10
Z victory off Of him yesterday. The
former Mission High school hurler
should develop into one OF the
classiest pitchers in the league be-
fore the season is over.

EARLY ELECTION
ON CANAL PLAN
PREDICTED HERE

Although no date is suggested as
yet for the vote on the All-Ameri-
can Canal contract, the general ac-
ceptance of the fact that a special
election will be called sometime be-
fore December is leading a number
of residents of the valley to register
with the county clerk.
At the irris1 tion district offices
today there was no definite infor-
nation available regarding the act
ual calling of the election. Officials
Of the district pointed out that ne
gotiations are in progress in WASH
ington looking toward the early ap-
proval of the proposed contract by
the secretary OF interior, but that
there are a number of details to be
worked out before an election can
be had.
Nevertheless, district officials
stated, every resident of the valley
should make it his business to see
that he is properly qualified by early
registration to vote on the contract.
County Clerk Ed Law stated to-
day that unless voter has regis
tered since January /, 1880, he must
register again to qualify as an cleo

KIDNAPPING OR
EL0PEMENT, PA
BECOMES IRATE

A hair raising tale of a kidnapping
which smacks of an elopement was
told deputy sheriffs yesterday after
noon by F.. Romero, Mexican resi-
dent of Ell Centro, who said his
daughter, Margarita, was snatched
from her home by two men.
Margarita, l6, so runs the story,
was sitting in the Romero home
yesterday when suddenly two men
leaped from an automobile which
had stopped in front of the house.
The men dashed into the dwelling,
picked the girl up, thrust her into
the automobile and sped away. If
Margarita Shrieked in terror and
fought for freedom, no mention was
made of it.
The irate parent followed at all
speed and located the three at the
home of Pedro Qast name un-
known. When Margarita and
Mendez (first name unknown) saw
Romero, they fled the place and
have not been seen since. Hence
the elopement angle.
Romero chung to the kidnapping
theory but deputies hinted that Gu
pid must have had something to
do with the affair.
