the restaurant owner, and one Nichols, a
gambler. The trouble originated over
a gambling debt incurred in Mexico
and for the collection of which said
Nichols had Carpenter arrested. By
dint of some hard sprinting Carpenter
outran the Mexican officers and escaped
across the line. On Saturday morning
Carpenter met Nichols on the street
and after applying a few titles better
left imprinted whacked him over the
head with a six shooter. Constable
McAlmond disarmed the aggressor and
trouble seemed to be over. Later the
two combatants met when Nichols
promptly knocked Carpenter down.
Bob Davis then proffered his services as
peace maker and with the aid of the
constable the quiet was restored. There
are a set of t«r horn gamblers and all
round tou^hb in the Valley who need a
year or two on the rock pile and the
sooner these worthless specimens of hu
manity are gotten rid of the better will
be the moral condition of things. It is
said that arrests will follow.

Human' Blood Marks
A tale of horror was told by marks of

and was near death when I began tak
ing Dr. King's New Discovery. It com
pletely cured me and I have remained
well ever since." It cures Hemorrhages,
Chronic Coughs, Settled Colds and Bron
chitis, and is the only known cure for
Weak Lungs. Every bottle guaranteed
by all druggists. 50c and $1.00 Trial

I have 320 acres more of school

The entertainment of the Imperial
Minstrels last Monday night was, upon
the whole, a very creditable perform
ance. The local talent is much encour
aged, and everyone is satisfied that with
more training the boys can stage a show

stantial improvements.
Bert Randolph, a well known young
man of Imperial, died last Monday
morning at 4 o'clock. Mr, Randolph
came to the valley about three years ago
for his health, being v severe sufferer
from lung trouble. There is no doubt
but that our climate prolonged his life,
but his condition when he came here
was such as to render recovery impossi
ble.

days, as he is making a strenuous effort
to get the canal banks on the main ca
nal and Elder lateral built up before
the next rise from the Colorado reaches
the Valley.
Fletcher Burnight, one of the pioneer
residents of San Diego county, died at
the residence of his daughter, Mrs. J.
W. Kramer, at Silsbee last Sunday. Mr.
Burnight came to the Valley only a few
months ago, but during that short time
iiad endeared himself to a large circle
of friends by his sterling: character and
Christian virtues. He was about 80
years of age at the time of his death.
The remains were sent to San Diego for
interment.
