No ACTION ON
PETITION FOR
JURORS FEES
Supervisors Unable To Reach
Decision Upon Payment For
County Court Services

Payment of fees for jurors serv-
ing in county justice courts engaged
the attention Of the board of super
visors during their meeting yester-
day afternoon. Six requests for
payment of these fees were pre-
sented to the board, two from Win
terhaven, two from Ell Centro and
two from the Calexico justice
courts.
The supervisors took no action
in the matter as it was the opinion
of the board that they could not
pay these fees. Elmer Heald, dis
trict attorney, pointed out to the
board that the civil code provides
for a fee of So a day to be paid
these jurors in addition to mileage
of Is cents per mile for one way
of travel. There is an obligation
on the county to pay these fees,
Heald stated, since they are eX-
pressly provided for in the code.
Following a hearing before the
board the license of George M.
Pratt to operate a card game in
Winterhaven was revoked by the
board. Evidence in the case was
obtained from r. w. Ware, Mark
Munson, John Croussen, T. M.
Worthington and Pratt. Elmer
Heald prosecuted the case with Don
Bitter appearing as attorney for
Pratt.
The board divided $4,000 receiv-
ed from the state in gasoline tax
monies equally between the five
county road districts.
The board later met with the
county relief committee and after
much discussion reached no defin-
ite agreement on the relief Situa-
ton in the county. The commit
tee explained its position to the
supervisors and at the conclusion
of the meeting it was agreed that
members of the committee should
appear before the different city
councils and urge that the cities
propose projects which would be
approved by the board and commit
tee on which the questioned un-
employableS might be given en-
ployment. 1t was the opinion of
the supervisors that they could not
raise the necessary funds to care
for these cases.

COURT MAKES
REVERSAL. IN
OSBORNE CASE

Word was received here this
morning that the appellate court
has reversed the judgment given
by Judge Lloyd Griffin, San Diego,
in the action brought by E. l.. and
Myrtle Osborne against the .irriga-
ton district and directors who were
serving in 1881. The judgment had
awarded the plaintiffs damages of
$4,000 against the directors.
The action in question was filed
on February II, 1881 in superior
court ano asked damages of $4,000
for the death of the plaintiffs min
or child who had fallen into the
Highline canal and was drowned on
May 7, 1880. Defendants in the
action were Directors Aten, Pound,
Rose, Blair and Brockman, the ir-
rigation district, G.. H. Knight and
M. j. Dowd.
These defendants were charged
with carelesSnesS in connection with
the condition of a bridge from
which the child had toppled into
the canal at the Myrtle heading.
Harry Horton represented the plain
tiffS with Charles L. Childers and
d. B. Roberts appearing for the de-
PENDANTS.
The case came to trial before
Judge Griffin on April 1929, 1882,
both sides having waived jury and
the court awarded damages of
$1,000 to the plaintiffs against the
defendant directors but not the dis
trict as such. The case was then
appealed to the appellate court.
Horton was appointed attorney for
the district during the pendency of
the appeal and the plaintiffs case
was then taken over by Ross T.
Hickcox with Childers and Roberts
remaining as attorneys for the de-
fendant directors.

Puzzled that his wife was not
home, James and his two friends
started an immediate search for
her. James Searchlight picked out
her almost submerged body in the
fish pond
Waited For Officers
James said he started to remove
her from the water but thought
better of it and decided to await
the arrival of deputy sheriffs.
James said his wife had been
subject to fainting spells because
of her approaching motherhood.
Investigators first advanced the
theory she had tainted and fallen
into the water.
Officers found an unfinished let
ter that Mrs. James was writing to
her sister, Mrs. R. H. Stewart, Las
Vegas, New.
The letter told that she was very
i'll and had been bitten by an in
sect Monday morning.
The files OF a local mortuary
gave out the fact that the first
Mrs. James was drowned. The
death certificate, stating "acci-
dental drowning in bathtub," was
signed by G.. B. Gilmore, as coro-

paid to them for the period from
March u to the present.
Harry w. Horton, district counsel,
was asked to state what procedure
should be followed and advised,
that in the absence of any official
notification of the courts decision
it would be best to enter stipula-
ton on the salary question and that
a remittitur from the court would
be awaited. This was agreed to and
the board approved immediate pay
ment as requested.
Through two resolutions adopt
ed by the directors, the district
treasurer was authorized to eX-

Irish Water Spaniel 10
Dependable Hunting Dor


All Spaniels take kindly to wa
ter, but for long steady work In
chilled waters, wherein other dogs
would perish, the extremely tough
coated Irish water spaniel, &C
curate and almost inexhaustible In
this work, wins the assignment.
Largest and most hardy Of all span
iels, he Is among the best gun dogs,
q first-class retriever on land, but
,unexcelled in water.
His peculiar, but honest face, Is
long and bare Of the profuse tight
curl that encases his entire body,
except for the odd thin tail. Small
sparkling eyes, set almost flush and
void Of eyelash, produce a most
charming expression. Though he
may provoke a laugh upon first
sight, his Quaintness and smart as
mustard" gaze will soon win one
over to a sympathetic smile.
True native of the Emerald Isle,
his origin has defed all research.
We can but guess that his deeR
liver coloring came from the Irish
setter, his curls of hair, from the
curly poodle, and his kind affection
ate playful disposition, from both.
He is so pounds Of QuaintneSs
and devOtion.-Los Angeles Times.

LONG DISTANCE CALLS SET
RECORD FOR FAST SERVICE

In the FIVE years preceding 1929,
the average length Of time required
to complete a long distance tele-
phone connection was reduced from
seven and a half minutes to two
and four-tenths minutes.
In the last five years, this prog
ress has continued so that, by 1882,
the time to make a connection had
decreased to 1.6 minutes, and in
1888 to is minutes. The 1884 annual
report of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company states that
in 1894 there was still further gain
in speeding up the handling OF long
distance calls.
Another change in long distance
telephony is brought to light by conf
parison with the 1929 and 1884 an
nual reports. The 1929 report stated
that more than 70 per cent of the
long distance calls were handled
while the calling subscriber re-
manned at the telephone" At the
time, this was considered a remark
able record. But in 1880, the percent.
age of calls handled in this way in
creased to 50 per cent; in 1881. TO
SO per cent; and in 1884 more than
nine out Of every 10 long distance
calls were completed while the Gus.
toner remained at the telephone.
