SENT TO JAIL
FOR VIOLATION
OF PROBATION

I'D rather see him in jail than
drinking in Mexicali.'
These words, from the lips of Mrs.
Claude Hicks. today caused Judge
A. c. Finney to order that Hicks be
held in the Imperial county jail for
a period of six months, or until his
wife wishes his freedom.
Hicks was charged with violation
of probation, after probation was
granted him on a charge of failure
to provide for two minor children.
Testimony in court today showed
that Hicks had failed to report to
the probation officer, and had
further violated terms of his proba-
ton by going to Mexicali, and
drinking Intoxicating liquor.
Would you rather see him have
another chance, or go to jail?"
asked Judge Finney of Mrs. Hicks.
She replied that she would rather
see him in Jail than in Mexicali.
Judge Finney instructed Hicks
that if he could reach an agreement
with his wife he would be given one
more chance to make good. Turn
ing to Mrs. Hicks, the husband

Lawyer Approved

Withdrawal of R. B. Whitelaw as
attorney for Horace c. Kellogg was
allowed by Judge A. C. Finney yes
terday afternoon, when Whitelaw
argued that his client had failed
and refused to follow his advice in
a civil suit.

suit against his son, Charles II.
Kellogg. The suit involves home

the client. He also said that his
client had constantly refused TO

being that the physical volume of

The agricultural situation in this
region was devoid of any outstand-

spring work proceeded normally in
all districts. Citrus fruits moved in
larger volume during March, 1881,
than in either March, 1880, or Feb
ruary, 1881. Preparations are now
underway for the 1881 cotton crop,

STANDARD RULES
OF ETIQUETTE

Question: Should the bride give
presents to her bridesmaids?
Answer: The bride always gives
a present to each bridesmaid. If
they are to carry muffs, parasols
or fans instead of flowers, her
present may be one of those arti-
cles, otherwise she gives them some
thing to wear, pin, bracelet, etc.,
the gift varying according to fin
ancial circumstances.
Question: Should a dinner be
given for the wedding party?
Answer: If bridesmaids and ush-
ers come from a distance it is quite
customary to give a dinner for them
the night preceding the wedding
the dinner to be given by the bride
and her family. However if the
attendants all live in the same city
the custom of giving a dinner has
