ure to follow the orders issued by
Police Judge Lee Nuffer.
B. Martinez, whose record at
headquarters reads like continued
story, was arrested for being drunk.
He was given a six months sts-
pended sentence Sept. 7, 1886, and
because he failed to leave town and
stay away, began serving the SEN
tence without any more formality.
Louis Burches. 38, and Desiderio
Rubalcada, 81. gave Martinez a
beating then excused themselves by
saying he was a drunken nuisance.
The same fate awaited Felix Co
sio, q, who was given a months
suspended Jail sentence Sept %,
1886 and told to remain away from
Ell Centre forever. His ideas of
forever did not coincide with Nuf-
fer's, SO he, too, began to serve the

table industry. He had a desire
to ship lettuce to eastern markets

ed land in areas where the climate
permitted harvests throughout the

and Sons. During the Sawdey-
Hunt regime, the company leased
and owned 4,30o acres of ,ITperia,
Valley land and shipped their prod
ducts to all parts of the nation. The
new firm leased and owned 2,50o
acres of land in the valley and
grew everything from asparagus
to wheat
His particular interest was in the
growing OF the products and he de-
voted considerable time to aiding
the government in perfecting bet
ter products even in vegetables ane
fruits his company did not grow.
Hunt is survived by: his wife,
Mrs. Sophia Hunt; four daughters,
Mrs. Grace Goldsworthy Mrs. Edith
Wyvell, and Miss Evelyn Virginia
